Horary Astrology Guide

1 What is Horary Astrology?

Horary astrology is one of the oldest branches of astrology. Instead of analyzing a birth chart, it interprets the chart cast for the exact moment a question is asked.

A horary chart captures the cosmic snapshot of the moment a question is sincerely asked
The chart is cast for the current date, time, and location — not a birth date
It can answer specific questions like: "Will I get the job?", "Should I move?", "Where is my lost item?"
Each question topic is linked to a specific astrological house (1st through 12th)

Tip: For the best results, ask your question when you genuinely need an answer — the sincerity of the moment matters in horary astrology.

2 Create a Horary Chart

Creating a horary chart is quick — it uses the current time rather than a birth date.

Go to your Dashboard and click Charts
Click the Add Chart button
Select Chart Type: Horary — the date and time automatically set to now
Set the location where you are asking the question (country and city)
Click Save — your horary chart is calculated instantly

Tip: The exact time matters — create the chart at the moment the question comes to mind, not later.

3 Choose a Question Topic

Each horary question is connected to an astrological house. Selecting the right topic helps the report focus on the relevant house ruler.

When creating the chart, a Question Topic dropdown appears
Choose from 12 topics: Self, Money, Communication, Home, Children/Love, Health, Relationships, Inheritance, Travel/Legal, Career, Friends, Secrets
The selected topic activates a special Quesited Analysis section in the report
If you select Health, the entire report uses health-focused interpretations

Tip: You can leave the topic blank for a general horary reading, but selecting one adds a focused analysis section to your report.

4 Link a Person (Optional)

Linking a birth profile to your horary chart unlocks a bonus section that cross-references the horary chart with your natal chart.

In the chart form, select a Person from the dropdown — this links their birth data
The horary report will include a Personal Natal Context section showing how the horary planets interact with your birth chart
Two people asking the same question at the same time will get different personal context based on their birth charts

Tip: If you skip this step, the horary report still works perfectly — the natal context section is simply omitted.

5 Generate the Horary Report

Once your chart is saved, generate the horary report to get your answer.

Go to the Charts page and find your horary chart
Click the report icon on your chart's row
Select Horary Report from the report type dropdown
Click Generate — the report appears with all horary sections
You can download it as a PDF or text file using the buttons at the top

6 Understanding the Report Sections

The horary report is divided into specialized sections, each revealing a different layer of the answer.

Planetary Positions — where each planet sits in the zodiac signs
Quesited Analysis — focused analysis of the house ruling your question topic (appears when a topic is selected)
Planets in Houses — which life areas the horary planets activate
Aspects — the angular relationships between planets, showing applying and separating influences
Essential Dignities & Retrograde — planetary strength and retrograde warnings
Personal Natal Context — how the horary planets interact with your birth chart (only when a person is linked)

Tip: Pay special attention to applying aspects — they indicate events that are still developing. Separating aspects describe what has already happened.
