“Any brilliant horary astrologers out there? A pug has gone missing in London. Please cast a chart and report back …”

I immediately cast a horary chart, reproduced below:

From the chart we can see that the querents are represented by the Sun and the Moon, the missing pug is Saturn, Lord of the 6th House of small animals. As it is a Saturn day and a Moon hour, the chart seems to be radical and fit to be judged.

From the description given, Saturn seems to be quite apt for the little dog.

The Moon, representing the emotional aspect of the owners, is located in the 11th House, the House of friendship, but also the House of hopes and wishes, together with Cauda Draconis, indicating that all is not well. The Sun, Lord of the Ascendent and representative of the querent, is in the 6th House, the place of small animals. Good news here is, that the Part of Fortune is conjunct the Sun, a positive sign.

The little dog, represented by Saturn, is in the 4th House, showing that he is not too far away from home. Best of all is the fact that Moon is in an applying trine to Saturn. This suggests, that dog and owners will be reunited in a very short time.

I duly reported my findings back on twitter with the following message:

“pug should be reunited with owner in about a day ….”

And so it happened! After a successful twitter campaign, the pug was reunited with his owners the next day.

Retrograde Motion

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be retrograde at times during 2012.

Mercury Rx

will delight us, as usual, with interrupted communication, malfunction or complete failure of computers and other electronic devices and general uncertainty and confusion concerning any contracts, legal documents or agreements.

Mercury will be retrograde

• 12 March until 4 April
• 15 July until 8 August
• 6 November until 26 November

Venus Rx

in Gemini will remind us of personal characteristics, which have been dormant in us for the last eight years and are in need of revision.

Venus will be retrograde

• 15 May until 27 June

Mars Rx

in Virgo will highlight problems concerning the repression or lack of energy. Much of the available potential will be directed towards the fulfilment of intellectual tasks.

Mars will be retrograde

• 24 January until 14 April

Jupiter Rx

in Gemini will remind us of his prudent side; with Jupiter’s help we are able to fulfil our potential but in his Rx phase, he demands that we obey the rules, follow our moral guidelines and show kindness and compassion.

Jupiter will be retrograde

• 4 October until 30 January 2013

Saturn Rx

in Libra may be a challenging time for the accomplishment in all areas of creative development. Many barriers will have to be overcome and progress will be slow.

Saturn will be retrograde

• 7 February until 25 June

Out of Bounds

When Planets exceed the 23°27′ area of the Sun’s max declination, north or south, they are called “Out of Bounds.”

During these times, the OOB Planets will be out of the Sun’s control; therefore a heightened activity of all themes corresponding with the appropriate Planets can be expected.

Mercury will be OOB

• 7 January until 21 January
• 30 May until 19 June
• 31 October until 6 November
• 26 December until 14 January 2013

Venus will be OOB

• 2 April until 4 June

Mars will be OOB

• 26 October until 10 December

Sign Ingress

Jupiter will move into Gemini on 11 June, delivering a boost to all intellectual endeavours, like writing, publishing, etc.

Saturn will move into Scorpio on 5 October, leaving his exalted placement in Libra.

Noteworthy Aspects

Mars will be perfecting an opposition to Jupiter Rx on 28 October. With Jupiter in his detriment in Gemini, some protest against rules and regulations, rebellions against superiors and other demonstrations can be expected.

Solar and Lunar Eclipses

Solar Eclipses

• annular solar eclipse on 20 May in 00*20’ Gemini

The eclipse pointwill be conjunct the fixed star Alcyone (Pleiades). According to Ptolemy, key words are ambition, turbulence, optimism and peace. Tthis eclipse may turn out to be of importance for the US.

• total solar eclipse on 13 November in 21*56’ Scorpio

with Luna at perigee, shortly followed by the lunar eclipse in 6*46′ Gemini. Cauda Draconis conjoins Algol Beta Persei- the Medusa’s Head (i.e. heads will roll…).This eclipse may turn out to be of importance for the US, South America and Australia.

Lunar Eclipses

• partial lunar eclipse on 4 June, Moon in 14*13’ Sagittarius, Sun in 14*13’ Gemini

Tthis eclipse may turn out to be of importance for Europe, the US and South America.

• appulse lunar eclipse on 28 November, Moon in 06*46’ Gemini, Sun in 06*46’ Sagittarius

This eclipse may turn out to be of importance for Europe and the US

Ingress Charts

Aries ingress chart, cast for London, representing the United Kingdom. With a fixed sign rising, the chart applies to the whole year.

Aries ingress chart, cast for Washington, representing the USA:

The ASC is in a mutable sign and therefore this chart is only valid for 6 months. After this period, the Libra ingress chart has to be taken into consideration:

The aspectarian contains:

• Date and time of Ptolemaic aspects between the seven Planets.
• Date and time of Planet’s ingress into the signs of the zodiac.
• Rx and Dx dates and times of Planets.
• Dates and times of solar and lunar eclipses.
• Dates and times of Full Moons and Dark Moons
• Zodiacal positions of aspecting Planets

Greenwich Mean Time is observed throughout the whole aspectarian.

“In the firmament the sun is the visible representative of the divine fire and of love. Its corresponding part in the human body is the heart, which emits its vital rays in a circle from the centre, and thus animates each individual limb.” (Robert Fludd, Philosophical Key, ca. 1619)

With the Winter Solstice upon us, I want to take the opportunity and  wish all readers of my web log and my friends & followers on Twitter/FB a peaceful Solstice time and a happy and  prosperous 2012.
