girl's father. The twelfth being the house of animals larger than goats, we advise that at 11.52on the 28th he attends the market, where he will be able to purchase the very camel that willswing the father's opinion in his favour.On the subject of transits, let us deal with the idea that if something in the horary chartconjuncts something in the querent's nativity, the chart is 'radical' (whatever that maymean). I ask a question about love, and find in the horary that Venus is right on my natalAscendant. Does this make the chart radical? Of course not. It shows that Venus istransiting my Ascendant, and I, surprisingly enough, am thinking about love. No more thanthat. Let us not forget that this with which we deal is a congruent system: it all fits together,in the most intricate and endlessly remarkable of ways. That Venus is on my Ascendantmay show that I am thinking about love - a fact that might be obvious from my going to anastrologer and asking him 'Does she love me?' - but it tells us nothing about whether thislove is reciprocated. Such considerations serve only to confuse the issue. All charts are'radical', and we are well advised to keep the querent's nativity well apart from his horaries,lest they breed monsters.A particular instance in which the 'real time' movement of the planets can be significantoccurs in lost object questions. In the chart for such it will often be found that thesignificator of the object is combust: it cannot be seen. Assuming that all else in the chart isindicative of a recovery, we can reach down our ephemeris, note the exact moment at whichthe planet leaves combustion, and judge, "You'll find it then". This may present the oddpicture of thousands of people around the world throwing up their hands in glee as theyrecover cherished possessions at exactly 8.22 GMT, but it seems to work with the reasonabledegree of reliability that is all we ask.When a date is specifically mentioned in thequestion, it is often of great significance, so itis always worth checking the planetaryplacements on that date against the horarychart. As a general rule, if we restrict thequerent to few words, whatever those fewwords are will usually be important; if thosefew words relate to timing, let us look atthem.This querent was desperate for her son to beaccepted into a school - a prospect that waslooking increasingly unlikely. Her ambitionsto place him in a private school had excludedhim from the acceptable state school options,while he had been turned down from theprivate school she wanted, for reasons whichshe believed were unsound. The boy had anentrance exam at another school, and anappeal at the school desired, both on nameddates. How would he fare?130
