Horary Chart Divination - Elven Origins | Miscellaneous | Forums

I wasn’t sure exactly where to post this. Since it’s regarding a divinatory technique, I figured that the Miscellaneous section would probably work, but if not please feel free to move it elsewhere. 

Warning: Long, contains astro babble, may be boring.

Recently I have had some things weighing on my mind. I would like to know for sure whether I have come from Alorya, something that has intrigued and pressed at me for a long time for reasons I do not completely understand. Finding definite answers to such questions can be an uneasy thing. But sometimes divination can be useful for understanding certain aspects of a situation, so I decided to try my hand at casting a horary chart for this.

(Disclaimer: I have never tried to interpret a horary before.)

This is the resulting chart from Astro.com.

Since I’m not nearly knowledgeable enough about how to understand this, I went in search of some resources and came across the following page:

https://darkagesdarkwords.wordpress.com/2020/03/30/how-to-read-a-horary-chart/

According to these instructions, the first thing we need to examine is the Moon, ascendant, and ruler of ascendant. Thus giving us: 

Moon in Scorpio in house 12, conjunct Scorpio ascendant

Pluto in Capricorn, house 3 

(Sorry, I messed up there. Since horary requires using traditional rulerships, we have Mars for Scorpio.)

So Moon in Scorpio, that’s me, the querent. And my question. The moon has to do with emotions, women, past lives, instincts, and mothering, which makes sense in a chart that’s asking about something in the past. The moon, being connected to the sign Cancer and the 4th house, also has to do with our origins – family and ancestry and the culture we come from. So that’s kind of interesting to me. And we have Scorpio, but that’s a little bit harder to interpret in this context because Scorpio energy can really represent a lot of stuff. It’s associated with death, sex, transformation, secrets, and intensity. Sometimes with Scorpio we do not see everything right away, because things can be a little more hidden away. 

The web article goes on to say, “The Descendant represents the other person you are asking about if you are asking a question that involves you in the situation; the Ascendant therefore represents you. Refer to the above example.” So going by this, if “Alorya” is our other person or thing that we’re asking about, we have Uranus conjunct the Descendant in Taurus, right across from the Moon. (Note: Traditionally Aquarius is ruled by Saturn. I messed up here also.)

One detail that stands out to me here is that Taurus is affiliated with the throat and vocal cords, singing and the voice. (Speech is affiliated with the planet Mercury and Gemini, but Mercury is affiliated with the brain and hands/arms rather than the throat.) 

Uranus is also making a soft aspect, a sextile, to Venus. But what really jumps out at me here is that there’s a T-square aspect pattern, involving Moon/Uranus/Saturn. Saturn is in Aquarius down at the base of the chart, conjunct the IC from the 3rd house side. 

The IC is a very sensitive point in a chart. It’s kind of like “the seat of the soul”, so to speak. 

Aquarius is all about technology, progressive ideas, extraterrestrials, etc. Which honestly kind of fits the theme of “Elenari homeworld”. Taurus represents the Earth and the material world – the green plants that grow in the ground, food, all the basics of life. Uranus and Aquarius are the heavenly bodies that represent the concept of “aliens” and outer space within astrology. 

So so far, I’m seeing things I recognize here, but I’m still not seeing a clear answer to the question. 

Going down the list, the next step is to look at house rulerships as they pertain to the question. Since the question is basically “Where do I come from”, I’m going to look at the 4th house (if someone here is better at astrology than I am and thinks this is incorrect, please feel to correct me in this!)

In the 4th house, we have the sign of Aquarius on the cusp. That’s ruled by Uranus in Taurus*, our signifier for “Alorya”. 

*And Saturn in Aquarius

We also have the planets Mercury and Jupiter in Aquarius, and then Venus in Pisces (Venus is almost conjunct the 5th house cusp, but I would have to check degrees and possibly get a second opinion on that.) 

Mercury is also conjunct Saturn, which isn’t in the 4th but is conjunct the IC as well as part of the T-square configuration. So there’s a lot going on there. 

Next from the article, we have a paragraph about dispositors, which isn’t something I’m skilled enough at working out to include here. I do know a little about degrees, though. 

To determine if the Moon is void of course, I checked this table. The Moon is not currently Void of Course.

The ascendant is not in a very early or very late degree. 

 

My overall takeaway from this chart is that it seems to reflect many of my thoughts, ideas, or feelings. But I am neither skilled enough in the art of reading horary charts, or completely confident enough in using one to divine a yes/no answer, to determine an exact conclusion.

There’s a lot of water here. Pisces Sun and Venus, Scorpio ascendant and Moon. Sort of mysterious. 

I like a little mystery, sometimes.
