Timestamps on Questions asked in the Tarot Exchange Forum For Astrological Study Purposes
Astromama posted a topic in Technical Forum Assistance
Hi, respected fellow forum members and technical wizards! Horary astrology uses the time a question is asked to draw a chart of the positions of the planets in the heavens. The premise is, "As above, so below," so at the moment the question is asked, the stars are aligned to answer the question, elegantly and precisely. Unfortunately, this traditional method is not widely known or practiced in the current day. I am new to the forums here, and interested in looking for horary questions for tutorial purposes here on the forum. I noticed that when questions are asked of the readers on the Tarot Exchange forum, the time is posted with the question the querent asked. This suggests a potential treasure trove for the purposes of horary study. This resource may be a lovely way for horary astrologers to get in some much-needed practice reading charts! Practically speaking, it might be best to permit the astrologers to choose which of the many questions on the tarot forum to work with. Horary works better for some questions than others, in that it is very practical and works better with concrete matters as opposed to spiritual ones. One skill the astrologer needs to develop is to be able to identify right away which questions are workable. One approach would simply be to form a group to study existing questions and hand-pick the ones that are best adapted to horary analysis. First, I want to be sure to respect protocol. Has this sort of study been done before? If not, do we prefer to see it posted on the astrology forum, on the tarot exchange forum, or in a dedicated work group as described above? Do we need to ask permission of the tarot querents and/or tarot readers to use horary techniques to answer their questions? Or would it simply be best for an individual or work group to offer horary readings on the Tarot Exchange list, which would not involve so much re-inventing of the wheel. . . .? Ideas, pros or cons? That's my first question. Secondly, A horary chart requires a question, a time, and a place. I assume that the time that appears on the timestamp when a question is posted is the time in my time zone, not theirs. Am I correct? I just need to pinpoint the meaning of what is documented by the timestamp as precisely as I can. Thank you for all the time and attention to detail that is devoted to the functioning of this forum!! I look forward to your response. Blessings, --A
