Question Chart
The moment you ask
is the chart.
Horary is an old astrological method: a question is read from the sky at the moment it is asked. No birth details needed; a topic, your question and the city you are in.
You: the ruler of the rising sign, and the Moon
The matter: the ruler of its house
Lines: applying aspects
An example: Libra is rising, so Venus stands for the one who asks. The question is about a relationship, and the other person is Mars, ruler of the seventh house. Venus is closing in on Mars, and the aspect completes before either changes sign. By tradition that leans yes.
The rules give the answer
First, the calculation
The chart of the moment you send the question is cast on our server: Regiomontanus houses and the seven traditional planets. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto play no part in this method.
Then, the rules
The rules William Lilly wrote down in the seventeenth century are applied: applying aspects, reception, translation of light, prohibition, the void Moon. The answer comes from these rules, and the reading cannot change it.
Last, the reading
An AI writes the answer and its reasons in plain words: who is who, how the matter unfolds, what to keep in mind.
One of three answers
Leaning yes
The planets of the asker and of the matter meet before either turns or changes sign; or a faster planet carries the light between them.
Leaning no
They do not meet, another planet gets in the way, or the Moon is void. By the nature of the tradition this answer comes up often; we don't hide it.
Not clear yet
The testimonies pull both ways. The chart says so plainly instead of forcing an answer.
When the rising degree is at the very start or the very end of its sign, the chart is still read; the reading adds that the matter is still taking shape, or already well under way.
What you can ask about
Love and relationships · An ex · Work and career · Money · Something lost · Home and moving · A short trip · A long journey · An exam
Timing is only given roughly: sooner, later or a long way off. No exact dates, days or names.
Almost any question
gets an answer.
We only leave out death and lifespan, the outcome of an illness or treatment, and betting or lotteries. Work, money, investing, love, a court case, someone else's situation: ask about anything else. Questions we don't answer cost nothing.
Tradition doesn't like the same question asked over and over: the first moment counts. Ask again and we show you your first answer. We read up to three questions a day. You pick your city from a list; your phone's location is never used. Readings are for entertainment.
