Horary Question: Will my cousin's US B1/B2 tourist visa be approved?

A friend’s cousin is about to be interviewed for a B1/B2 US tourist visa in order to visit her and her family, as well as to see her father, who was seriously ill.

The question is whether, based on these facts, there is a chance her visa will be approved.
Let’s look at our indicators and see what her chances are of ultimately getting the visa.

Her cousin is Jupiter, since the 3rd house is in Pisces. Abroad is the radical 11th house—meaning the 9th (foreign country) counting from the 3rd—which gives us Mars. Mars and Jupiter form no aspect with each other, which is not encouraging at all.

Furthermore, before entering Leo, the Moon's last aspect was a square to Venus (ruler of the radical 10th). After a brief void period, it meets Saturn (an obstacle). In fact, Saturn is exactly conjunct the cusp of the 4th house (the end of the matter). This indicates that she would ultimately not get the visa and that something would stand in the way as an obstacle.

And that is exactly what happened; a short while later, she informed us that she was ultimately unable to get the visa, as she was rejected.

Horary Astrology & IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) - pregnant

Horary Astrology provides profound clarity even in the most complex situations. When a forum user asked about her aunt's pregnancy prospects, it opened up a highly educational chart featuring derivative houses and mixed receptions. Below, you will find my exact, unedited response from the forum, serving as a practical case study on how the cosmos reflects medical procedures and the final positive outcome.

"Dear, hello.

Your question is perfectly fine, and I will answer exactly that: whether your aunt will get pregnant at some point in the future. I see positive indications in the chart for your aunt's future.
Since your aunt is your mother's sister, she is represented by the 3rd derivative house from the 10th house, which is the radical 12th house. This house is ruled by Leo, so its ruler is the Sun. The Sun is in an angular house, which shows it has some strength and is not completely weakened.

The child is represented by Jupiter, since the 5th house from the 12th is the radical 4th house. Inside that house, we see the Moon, which, although weak by sign (Capricorn), is strong by house position.

Furthermore, these are semi-fruitful signs, not barren ones. Jupiter in Leo receives the Sun, but the Sun is in the detriment of Jupiter. This accurately reflects your aunt's situation—that something is wrong with her body, leading to miscarriages.

However, the Moon, being at exactly zero degrees of Capricorn, has a journey ahead, but in the end, she will come out victorious.
The first aspect the Moon makes is with Neptune, which indicates repeated (retrograde) IVF treatments (Neptune). But as time goes on, it shows that after various situations, she will succeed.

The Moon is the natural significator of babies, and her final aspect is a trine to the Sun. Super!

Additionally, if you look at the chart, this Moon will eventually meet Mars in Cancer. The Moon in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer have a mixed reception (by exaltation and rulership), which is extremely important. The Moon, taking the light of Mars (Mars being in a fertile sign), transfers it to the Sun (your aunt) via a trine.

Mars here also represents the medical procedures/surgeries she undergoes, and look where it is located — it is in the exaltation of Jupiter (the baby). Furthermore, I believe the doctor is good as well, because they are in the exaltation of the Sun and 'love' Mars (the procedures)

Tell her to be patient, to continue her treatment, and the baby will come. Tell her to try not to stress (Virgo) and to keep a positive mindset, because at some point, everything she is doing will succeed.

I wish the best of luck."

Horary question: Will I change job soon?

The querent asked us because she was desperately looking to change jobs, while she was applying and continued to apply until she could find something else.

Capricorn Ascendant, therefore the querent is signified by Saturn in Pisces.

The job is represented by the 10th house, ruled by Venus, which has essential dignities and is in the exaltation of Saturn. Additionally, Saturn is in the exaltation of Venus. This is highly significant, as both planets are strengthened, acting as if they are in conjunction due to this mutual reception by exaltation.

The applications she is making to find a job are represented by the 3rd house, so their ruler is Jupiter.

Venus will soon form a trine to this Jupiter, which is located in the 6th house (associated with work and daily routine). The Moon has just changed signs and is in the early degrees of Aquarius (also a sign of Saturn's traditional rulership). Notice how there are receptions and how the planets connect with each other; everyone connects in some way with this Saturn, as even Jupiter is in Saturn's triplicity. The Moon will first apply to Venus (profession) and then approach Jupiter (application).

Τhe querent confirmed the outcome and told us that she changed jobs almost a year later.

Note: In this chart, we see how significant a role receptions and the interconnectedness among the significators play.

Horary Question About an Inheritance

A friend asked us: "Will I finally receive my uncle's inheritance?"

The uncle is the brother of the querent's father, so we will work with derived houses.

Yet another chart where we find the Moon Void of Course. (This is a topic I am currently working on and researching, which I will post at some point with many examples—I have already gathered confirmed results where the chart was answered affirmatively and worked out just fine, even though the Moon was Void of Course).

The querent is represented by the 1st house, so they are Venus. The uncle is the 6th house (the 3rd derived from the father's 4th house), so the uncle is Mercury (Virgo).

Look how beautifully the chart illustrates the question and the situation: The Moon illuminates the 6th house—the uncle's house—showing the issue occupying the querent's mind. Mercury, ruler of both the 2nd house and the 6th house, represents both the querent's pocket (2nd) and the uncle himself (6th). These factors "love"—meaning they want—Venus (the querent), revealing the financial component the person is negotiating regarding their uncle. Furthermore, the Sun is also there, and both luminaries focus on the exact same point.

The uncle's money that the querent desires belongs to Mars (the 2nd derived house from the 6th, which is the 7th house of the chart). Mars is located in the 4th house. This is a positive sign that fills us with optimism, as it shows that the uncle's money is not going elsewhere, but is coming into the querent's family. However, we want to see if the querent themselves will ultimately receive it.

Venus (the querent) has just changed signs and is in the very first degrees of Scorpio. This sign on its own points to inheritance and financial matters. Additionally, Venus is right on the cusp of the 7th house, giving her the power to set things in motion regarding the case. Most importantly, however, she is in the 2nd derived house from the 6th—meaning, in the uncle's "pocket."

We now observe that the Moon is Void of Course. Some would rush to say that "nothing will come of it." I believe it is a mistake to draw such hasty conclusions without thoroughly analyzing the chart. The fact that the Moon is Void of Course might simply show us something about the unique progression of the case.

And yet, this Moon will save the day and ultimately provide the solution! The Moon "loves" Venus (the querent) and is positioned on the fortunate fixed stars Spica and Arcturus. It has already formed an aspect with Mars, holding its light (the uncle's money), and as soon as it changes signs, it will meet Venus (the querent). In other words, it transfers the money (Mars) and gives it to the querent (Venus).

Be careful, though, because there is a trap here: Someone could argue that the Sun will manage to aspect this Mars first (acting as an frustration/interference). And yet, the Sun does not manage to complete its aspect. If it had time to "catch" Mars, then yes, there would be a problem with the inheritance, because something or someone would step in and block the situation.

Here, however, we have no frustration. Ultimately, it is the Moon that beats the Sun to it and "catches" Venus first, bringing about the positive result. We wish our friend the best of luck! Note: as soon as we have any updates, we will post them on our blog.

Query about selling a business: "Should I sell my business?"

We were asked by a lady who was clearly struggling to make a decision, as she saw that financial data and state legislation were pressuring her, forcing her to pay a lot of taxes.

The querent is represented by Jupiter and the business by Mercury. Given that the 9th house relates to state laws and legislation, Jupiter is located there, peregrine, which highlights precisely the cause of the question.

The business is Mercury, but in the 10th house and exactly on the cusp lies the Sun in Virgo, which "hates" Jupiter (it is in a sign of Jupiter's detriment). In fact, the Sun governs the 9th house (laws), clearly showing how the state harms the querent. Furthermore, examining the future aspects —which is the key to the querent's development— Jupiter is about to meet the South Node in the 9th house, which is a highly negative indication for the future.

Regarding finances, the querent's "pocket" (2nd house) is ruled by Saturn, which is in fall, already suggesting financial tightness. At the same time, the business's revenues (11th house, the derived 2nd from the 10th) are in an equally poor state: Venus has just changed signs and entered a position of detriment, a fact that portends that the business's profits will take a downturn (early degrees of Scorpio).

Based on these future trends, we examined the prospect of a sale. The buyer is represented by the 7th house (which is also ruled by Mercury) and its ruler is inside the 10th house; therefore, it is certain that an interested buyer will be found. Next, we see that the 8th house (the buyer's money) hosts Mars, which is in the exaltation of Jupiter (the querent). The Moon, having already formed an aspect with Jupiter, translates its light to Mars (the buyer's derived 2nd house).

This translation of light confirms that selling the business is the best solution for two main reasons: first, the sale will take place in the best possible way and will certainly not be detrimental to the querent. Second, the significators exchange mutual receptions, which shows that they somehow cooperate harmoniously. Specifically, the Moon and Mercury are in the domicile of Venus, Venus is in the domicile of Mars, and Mars is in the exaltation of Jupiter —these are highly significant receptions that reinforce the positive outcome.
