Mundane And Horary Astrology: Astrology Of The World

Home | Arts-and-Entertainment | Astrology

Astrology is the study of interactions among celestial bodies based on statistical cycles.

Its name is derived from the Greek word astron, which means star or constellation and -logia which means study of. It is said that the position of stars and planets can provide insights on personality, human affairs, past and present events and even the prediction of the future.

Mundane Astrology is one of the many branches of general Astrology and is also said to be the oldest. It was originally developed in ancient Babylon. In 120 AD, Greek astrologer Claudius Ptolemy set down the fundamentals in the treaties Tetrabiblos.

In the Middle Ages, mundane astrology was known as the study of Revolution, which looks at the orbital movements of planets around the Earth.
Today, Mundane Astrology refers to the application of this science-art to world events and affairs. Its name is derived from the Latin Mundus, which means the World. It serves two purposes. First, is to look back at historical patterns and explain the greater purpose of events (such as the rise and fall of empires or religions). The other is to predict the future.

There are two major approaches in the study of mundane astrology. The first, is to focus on national horoscopes. Countries are believed to have astrological charts or horoscope, such that each country is believed to have come into being during a certain time. Having such, lets an mundane astrologer look at the countrys natal potential.

The other way is to find correlations between geological phenomena (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.) and the movement of the celestial bodies in the solar system. This is placed on the horoscope of astronomical placements at any given time.

A subset of mundane astrology is political astrology, which deals with the government, politicians, politics, and governing bodies of a particular nation, state or city.

Horary Astrology

An ancient branch of horoscopic astrology, horary astrology works by answering a question. The answers are derived by constructing a horoscope for the exact time the question was posted. Some astrologers of this branch also practice plotting the location of the querent (the person asking the question) as part of the astrological chart.

The degree to which a horary horoscope is developed is dependent on the type of question. It could require a simple yes or no. It can also be more complex and requires a bit of divination to get the answer.

It veers away from traditional forms of astrology, such that it follows its own system. The position of the aspects to the moon are an important factor to look at when creating a horoscope.

Additionally, the concept of planetary dignity and reception are also vital. Dignity can either be essential refers to the quality of a planet at a particular degree or accidental refers to how the planet finds itself. Reception refers to how each planet is viewed or received by each other. It can be either favourably or unfavourably.

The querent usually represents the ruler of the sign the first house cusp fall in the horoscope. Meanwhile, the question is assigned to a particular chart in the house.
