Counteraction by Sect
Counteraction by Sect Very simply, this is a case where a diurnal star is in a nocturnal sign whose domicile master is a nocturnal star or a nocturnal star in a diurnal sign whose domicile master is a diurnal star. Like we said, you have to master the concept of joint domicile masters to get […]
Mutual Reception
Mutual Reception Horary astrology is a branch of astrology separate and apart from the mundane/natal branch of astrology. We never take concepts, methods or techniques from horary astrology and apply them to mundane or natal charts since that automatically results in a misinterpretation of the chart. For the same reason, we do not substitute the […]
No Domicile Master
PAY ATTENTION From time-to-time as you go around the wheel identifying domicile masters you’ll find houses in the chart that do not have a domicile master. What does it mean? You’re about to learn and you’ll also learn why we said we shouldn’t joke about it. Again, it’s a simple IF…THEN…ELSE drill-down. For your convenience: […]
Domicile Masters
House Ranking A quick review of the rank of houses: 1st, 10th, 7th, 4th, 11th, 5th, 9th, 3rd, 2nd, 8th, 6th and 12th.

It happens when it happens and depending on the circumstances it can happen multiple times. The retrograde planet must be activated before it can render it’s effect. The definition of retrograde is very simple: Someone or something […]
Station-Checking
Station-Checking A gentle reminder that we do not use the words “strong” or “weak” in astrology. For each chart you will check the ephemeris to look at the 7 days before the birth and the 7 days after the birth to see if a planet stations or changes direction. You will also note whether a […]
Invisibility Periods
Invisibility Periods for Mars, Jupiter and Saturn In addition to the invisibility periods when under Sun’s beams, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have a second period of invisibility when they are opposition Sun. The window of invisibility — is that an oxymoron? — is 7° before and after the exact opposition to Sun. This invisibility […]
Under Sun’s Beams
Stars Under the Sun’s Beams Sister Mary Elephant, once again: Class, what branch of astrology are we studying? The natal/mundane branch! Mundane Natal Horary ♪♫One of these things is not like the others♫♪ ♪♫One of these things just doesn’t belong♫♪ The concept of under Sun’s beams is used in the natal/mundane branch of astrology. The parallel […]
Moon Cycle & Void Course
Moon Phases Those are the seven Moon Phases. Considering Moon’s position relative to Sun, the hex is the crescent moon; the square is the quarter moon; and the gibbous moon is the trine. The New Moon period is not a phase and Moon is not visible when she is within 15° on either side […]
Mercury Cycle
The Mercury Phase Cycle Mercury’s phases are highly variable. Sometimes Mercury makes its 2nd Station while still under Sun’s beams and sometimes not. We also show to correctly use flavors when Sun separates from Mercury and when Mercury separates from Sun.
