What Is The Ruler Of My Question?

When there is doubt about what may be the ruler of the question that you are askin, the chart tells you.

Here are ways you can find out what the question is about:

  • The first house rules the question. Whatever sign is on the first house, the question is about that.
  • The planet in the first quadrant, which is closest to the ascendant, is what the question is about.
  • The house havin the part of fortune tells you what the question is really about, you know sometimes people ask the wrong question, and they really have somethin else in mind at the bottom of it. That is shown by the part of fortune.
  • The lord of the first house applies to a conjunction of a planet that rules the question.

Now I'll give to you a few examples.

Horary Astrology Question About The CIA

One time I was askin a question about the CIA, and I was not sure what house or planet to use to represent the CIA. The horoscope (ascendant) was 29 Scorpio, and Lilith was also 29 Scorpio. So that tells us that the CIA is evil, deceptive, and demonic, for those are keywords of Lilith.

It also tells us that Lilith rules the CIA.

A late degree (27-29) on the ascendant means that I already knew the answer, CIA is evil.

Scorpio and Pluto have to do with espionage, and, with Scorpio on the ascendant, I was askin about an espionage agency.

Horary Astrology Question - What Kind Of Meat Is It Really?

Today I was concerned, a friend brought to me some Chinese food from a restaurant. It is in my refrigerator. I have had this dish at the restaurant before, curry with eggplant and, allegedly "chicken".

I was concerned to hear that Chinese restaurateurs have been found to be dishonest about substitutin one kind of meat for another. In youtube videos and email forwards I have seen evidence that they eat anythin, even puttin aborted Chinese fetuses in butcher shop windows for sale as food.

I found that, after eatin this dish, eatin so much of the alleged "chicken" that I was full of it, then goin to home and seein a chicken in my fridge, I was still cravin the actual chicken.

Now I know from experience, that if I eat a lot of chicken, I don't crave more chicken. It actually makes me want to leave off of chicken for a few days.

Are you gettin this? The white meat in the restaurant did not look quite like chicken, it did not taste quite like chicken, and it did not feel quite like chicken. I ate a lot of it, then went home and lo -- I still craved chicken.

I had to conclude that it was some other kind of meat, not bird. What could it be? It had to be large enough to make chunks about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inch, so that rules out insects. It was white, so it is not a mammal. I concluded that it must be a reptile - lizard, snake, or crocodilian.

I wanted to see what horary astrology would say about the question, so I ran a chart.

I did not know whether to use the 2nd, 4th, or the 6th house to represent food, for I have heard of houses used for that matter, food.

I have not answered the question yet, because I became very excited about writin this article. So here is the information for you. First I'll show to you the chart:


Horary Astrology Question: What Kind Of Meat Is It?

 

  • The sign Virgo is on the horoscope (ascendant). Virgo is the sign concerned with the quality of nutrition, as opposed to Moon and Cancer which are more concerned with the indiscriminate act of feedin folks and with emotional choice of food.
  • Notice that the onliest planet in the first quadrant is the Moon. Moon rules nutrition and feedin and food, so the question is ruled by the Moon.
  • Part of fortune is in the 6th house, so my question is, at bottom, ruled by the 6th house. That means either that the 6th house rules food, or else my question is actually more about health than the particular food itself, or both. Sixth house rules the things we must do to maintain health in a material way, like food, medicine, hygiene, and protective clothin and shelter. My concern is connected with the health guidelines for food in the King James Bible, issued for freckled people (Israelites). Vegetarianism is best, but for meat-eaters certain animals are unhealthy.
  • Rememberin that asteroid Ceres rules nutrition, I decided to add Ceres to the chart. See that the lord of the first house, Mercury, applies by conjunction to Ceres. Ceres also is lord of the first house, since Ceres rules Virgo.

Asteroids And Unconventional Planets In A Horary Question

Put them in the chart only if they rule somethin in the question. Sometimes you can learn more about the meanin of an asteroid or unconventional planet if it is in the first quadrant near to the horoscope (ascendant). That means it rules whatever you are askin about. It is a good research tool.

Ceres As Ruler Of Virgo

I first saw that Ceres ruled Virgo when my teacher, the homeless astrologer Bill Anglin, pointed out one afternoon that, as he and I were spendin a pleasant afternoon together, Ceres was conjunct Venus. His Sun's sign was Virgo, and mine was Libra, at the time. Since then I have had a second birth, and have been growin away from my birth's chart, but at that time Venus was my ruler.

Ceres In Birth And Transit Astrology

The conjunction of Venus with Ceres showed that a Virgo and a Libra were together. It also showed that the dispositor of the Sun is one of a chart's rulin planets, in birth astrology. I take that matter up in much more detail in my course on birth chart reading.

Why Did I Not Know Already

Anyhoo, gettin back to this chart about food, the question is ruled by Moon, Ceres, Virgo, and the 6th house. I did not know all this before I ran the chart. Why did I not know it? Because there is much confusion in the literature, and this was only my first experience with a question about food.

Look At The 6th House!

Neptune is in the 6th - deception! Bam! Right off the bat we find a stron showin that wrongdoin has been wrongdone. Moon's last aspect was to Neptune, showin that the last thing that happened, before I asked the question, was the deception about the food, and also that the food was unhealthy at that time, since Neptune is in the 6th house.

Moon cadent and south latitude means that this has been goin on for a very lon time, it is not somethin that has been just recently begun.

North node in the 6th suggests that there may be some positive nutritive value to the food, while Neptune there, havin squared the Moon, suggests unhealthfulness. Neptune is in mutual reception with Uranus, so it is not so bad as it would be otherwise. Saturn, lord of the 6th is in the unfortunate 12th house, showin unhealthfulness of the food, and is afflictin the sign of Virgo, nutrition, so another showin of bad food.

Mercury rules myself in the chart, first house. It aspects both Uranus and Neptune, which are both connected with the meat, 6th house, and so if it is good meat it helps me and if it is bad meat it hurts me. Ceres also rules the meat, and is conjunct Mercury, which means that the meat is benefitted by a planet in its dignity. Anothe indicator of good meat.

Remember I was askin what kind of meat it was, but my real question is about my health. Healthy meat or unhealthy. Mercury in dignity conjunct Ceres means healthy meat. Neptune square Moon means unhealthy meat.

Moon In Its Fall

Moon rules the meat (because it rules food, and is next planet to rise from the first quadrant), and is in fall in Scorpio, so bad meat, but no very bad, since Moon is not very bad in Scorpio, just bad, but not very.

A planet, in this case Moon, in its fall means that somebody is not bein "up-front" with you, thins are not "on the up-and-up". The restaurateurs are not bein up-front about what kind of animal it is.

Good meat, bad meat.

It is both good and bad at the same time. In other words, it helps me in one way, and hurts me in another. Like eatin dirty food, you get nutrition, but you get polluted at the same time.

What Kind Of Animal Is It?

Always prefer the planet in a house to the other rulers outside of that house. So Neptune is most probably goin to be the answer.

My friend, who brought it to me, thought it was some kind of Chinese bird. Saturn rulin the 6th is in Virgo, which is farm birds, like chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas. Libra would rule songbirds and pretty birds, Scorpio rules eagles and birds of prey.

Neptune in the 6th house, it is very likely some kind of shellfish or octopus or squid, somethin like that. But it is not like any seafood I ever had. It is more dense than crab, lobster, or squid. I don't remember ever eatin octopus, but my guess is it is less dense, like those others. It could be a snail, like conch, but that is more expensive than chicken, so it would not make sense economically.

That puts us back in the ball park with birds and reptiles again. Other than turtle soup, I have no experience with reptiles (unless Chinese "chicken" is reptiles), so I have to rely on the chart to tell me.

If I eat turkey or duck, I don't believe I am goin to crave chicken when I go to home. I keep thinkin it must not be a barnyard bird. So it could be another type of bird, say a seagull, vulture, hawk, or eagle? Seagulls are plentiful to the point of overpopulation, so that is a possibility. Vultures are probably hard to catch, and hawks and eagles are too rare to supply a great number of Chinese restaurants.

So that leaves probably seagull or reptile. Seagull might be ruled by Neptune, it is a bird associated with the ocean. I don't believe it would be associated with Virgo (Saturn in Virgo in this chart, lord of the 6th).

Pluto and Lilith I believe rule reptiles. Some say that Saturn rules reptiles also. Here again the literature is confused. Saturn, reptile, in Virgo, bird. It can't be both.

Nothin is connected to Lilith (29 Sagittarius) nor Pluto here. So it does not look like it is a reptile.

It Is Not Chicken

The bottom line is, I do not have enough information about the thousands of species of animals, havin dense white meat, that could be ruled by Neptune. Without that information, I can only guess what animal it might be.

If somebody paid me to answer this question, I would be forced to bill them for the time it took me to find out that I couldn't answer the question fully, except to say, "It is not chicken", because of the deception angle of Neptune in the 6th, and Moon in Scorpio.
