#horary asks

First off: sorry for the links galore! (I hope tumblr doesn’t delete my account sdkjfn)

If we’re starting completely new/fresh like ‘what is it?’ new, here’s a good basic introduction that modern astrologer can get behind for once (that isn’t pretentious/elitist god some people are unbelievable). Here’s also  a great ‘how-to’ from eighthousesun. And here’s an example step-by-step from divinetimeastrology. If you’re willing to go a little snobby, here’s a “notes” kind of thing (*but view with ur own discretion, some astrologer says you can ask multiple questions focusing in a certain subject at one time, and other says you can’t.) – And if you want some reference/terms/study further that ones from astrology.org.ua

You can cast a horary chart (traditionally) by using the date/time and place (*refer to links above on the ‘reference’) of when you cast the question–kind of like a birth-chart. This way, you can read the manifestation of when it’s going to happen (usually when you cast it for someone else, you might have to take into consideration the time-frame in which the answer is going to come.) 

Since horary astrology is a type of predictive astrology, there are traditional western reading and other ones as well (nadi astrology is another type that uses predictive/horary casting for example). You can try some useful help about traditional horary astrology here (kind of helpful, view with your own discretion but the “faqs” are better than the one linked in the above paragraph)

If you don’t have time to do all that (I know, it’s a lot) Transit will probably serve you the best considering the time frame. But progressed chart can also be beneficial to how it affects you (compared to transit that can be general). If you want to know more about progressed chart, here’s a good link. 

Also: keep in mind that although horary astrology has been here for so long, modern astrology is about taking alot of traditional ideas for a spin in a lot of different experimental ways (can be good or bad depending). Adaption/change on how to use horary astrology in a way that might be more applicable to modern-day culture/usage/current pace might come through. So just– keep that in mind.  Especially since traditional astrology takes years upon years to study, adapting to modern change will help with ‘quick-fix’ kind of deal but won’t have the depth traditional astrology has. For the modern day person, it might come in handy to just plan ahead of time/set aside some time in advance.

*Further research on horary might be necessary, because it’s absolutely ancient a lot of astrologer has a lot of different opinions on how to do it properly (you might want to cast it using vedic astrology etc.) so you might need to do the necessary study while casting it. 

**ALSO: with any kind of astrology just be careful of what you’re doing and what you want to know ok. Use your own discretion for the sake of yourself.
