EXPLORING HORARY ASTROLOGY
By Diana StoneThe Astrological Divinatory System
of Answering Specific Questions
The following article is about a separate major branch of astrology: Horary Astrology. Astrology includes different stand-alone divisions just as does the law, for example, criminal law versus tax law. Horary involves its own comprehensive set of rules, and several years of serious study and experience are required before practicing at the professional level. Horary Astrology historically predates all other types of astrology; yet, it is the least known and understood—including within the professional astrological community itself. Many people have trouble even pronouncing it. It is hore-AIR-ee. If you are willing to explore a time-honored system that is in a singular position to serve as a practical guide for your specific personal concerns throughout life—THIS IS IT!
STEP RIGHT UP! SIT RIGHT DOWN!
ASK THE UNIVERSE A QUESTION!Will the Universe really answer your personal questions in plain English?
I think I am safe in saying that the Universe in all its vastness probably will NOT be focusing its limitless Mind to instantly address a laundry list of specific inquiries from our own miniscule private worlds. However, Life sometimes turns Its benevolent face and bows to our immediate concerns in its own inscrutable way and, as such, revealed unto humanity the secrets of HORARY ASTROLOGY.
What is HORARY ASTROLOGY?
HORARY ASTROLOGY does indeed answer your personal questions—both great and small! So what is it? Horary involves a calculated astrological horoscope based on the time, date and location when a client asks the astrologer a specific question. The answer to your question is in that chart and can be interpreted by an astrologer trained in the field.
Does that sound too good to be true? It is not too good to be true. I know. I have studied and practiced Horary professionally for over 40 years now—and still counting. (I’m old.)
How does it work?
Later in this series, there will be further explanations about how everything comes together, plus guidelines for using this most powerful tool in your everyday affairs, both great and small. First, let me give you a preliminary feel for the process by the following example of what happens here in my office almost every day.
The phone rings. On this occasion, one of my clients is calling to ask about buying a new house. After a brief conversation, we decide on the best way to formulate a question for a Horary chart. She asks, “Is it in my best interests to buy the house at 1234 Main Street at this time?”
I go to the computer and use a special software program for calculating Horary charts. I use the time, date and my location when she asked the question. It is just as if a baby was born at that time, only this is the birth of a question. (Computers save time by calculating the charts and analyzing certain details, but in no way can the computer give final answers to Horary questions.)
Once I have analyzed the chart according to Horary rules (different from Natal astrology), I call my client—usually in a day or two--and give her the answer, yes or no. The whole matter is handled over the phone. There is no reason to make a special appointment or to see me in person.
I follow up the phone call in most cases with a copy of the chart, including my notes and a bill for $75. That’s it. That is all there is to it.
So what else do you need to know?
Or maybe that isn’t all there is to it. That depends on whether you are Left Brain Louis or Right Brain Rosie. If you are Left Brain Louie, check out the mini course in Horary described below. It should answer all of your questions.
On the other hand, if you are Right Brain Rosie or in any way related to her, you may feel in your gut and goose bumps that this is just about the most exciting thing that you have ever heard of and give me a call at 360-546-2497 in Vancouver, Washington.
One final message
Throughout my career all these years as a Horary astrologer, my practice does not just involve clients calling me for an impersonal fortune-teller-style yes or no answer. For a great many of my clients, I have played the role of a serious counselor over many years and through many situations in their lives. Horary astrology has allowed me to play a very unique role of support that clients cannot find anywhere else. I have seen my clients through life-altering court cases and many tragic losses. I have another client whom I have guided in her career of racing thoroughbred horses! I have seen my clients through career decisions, serious illnesses and painful divorces. Serious professional astrologers everywhere stand shoulder to shoulder with any others in the helping professions.
A letter from Theresa
"Hi Diana, Thank you for the current reading. I realize that you have been a wise counsel to me for almost thirty years. I think the first chart I had I was only 18 or 19 years old. I appreciate your energy and the help and healing you have brought to my whole family. As you’ve said yourself—yours is a weird and wonderful job. "I love and thank you for your work! Best as always, Theresa"ENOUGH SAID!
Horary is a fascinating subject, and I'll be sharing more about it in the months to come, with a book on the subject as my ultimate goal. Below are links to some additional articles:
