What horary is (and isn't)
Horary is the art of judging a specific question by casting a chart for the moment the astrologer understands that question. Think: “Will I get the Acme job?”, “Will we reconcile?”, “Where are my keys?” It is not a general life reading and it doesn’t replace natal work.
The 4‑step standard flow
- Form the question. Scope, stake, timeframe. One sentence.
- Fix time & place. Use the moment of clear understanding and the astrologer’s location (or your consistent practice).
- Cast the chart. Identify significators, read the Moon’s story, check receptions, map any path to perfection.
- Judge. Synthesize testimonies → call yes / no / unclear, with reasoning and timing notes.
When not to read
- The question is vague or purely speculative.
- There’s no meaningful stake or decision.
- It’s a repeat ask seeking a different answer.
- The topic exceeds your competence (e.g., medical/legal).
How Vox Stella speeds this up
Vox Stella guides the canonical flow. You set the time/location and cast; the app surfaces the essentials — potential perfection paths, receptions, and common blockers (e.g., cross‑sign detours) — with a quick confidence read, so you spend brainpower on interpretation rather than setup.
