Inheritance Question

1
Forum,

A querant has asked: Will I inherit at least X amount from my Father's estate or will?

3 / 21 / 2011 2:10 pm Reno, Nevada

If you click on the webb address below and then click on the chart it will enlarge for your viewing:

http://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi?cid= ... &fix=1&ast

The Asc. is 1Leo44, with the Sun at 0Ar54 in the 9H, with the Moon at 1Sco11 in the 4H making an eventual trine to Venus at 23Aqu31 in the 7H; the Moon is in Via Combusta, the Burned Path, the Claws of the Scorpion, and Not in a good way. And the Moon, by Lilly's 5 degree rule, is cjt. the cusp of the 8th.

With Aqu on the 7H this horary astrologer knows he needs some help on this one as he is hampered due to the 7th's Saturn rulership.

With the early rising degree, I hear the warning that it's 'not yet mature' as I know that the querant is Not testing the astrologer. Also with the Via Combusta Moon I know the querant is in a bad way on this. Yet Lilly has a few early Asc. horarys in CA II and answered them.

As the 4th, according to Lilly, is the house of the matter, and Venus is Lord of the matter, and Venus is trined by the Moon, though Not in orb, I'm saying 'yes' that the querant will recieve an inheritance of at least that amount. But that Early Asc., Via Combusta Moon, and the Saturn ruled 7th, makes me very leary on this one since the Moon is so far out of orb or moeity to Venus, the Lord of the matter.

Would appreaciate insights and critical analysis of this horary.

I would consider querent = sun, 4th the father = venus, which would make sense venus is conjunct the 8th cusp if the father is about to die or newly dead, OR has made a very official announcement about making his will.
His estate, 4 from 4, 7th saturn, his other asset 2nd from 4th, 5th and detrimented mars in 9th. In courthouse, religious donation, abroad?
I'd be concerned about the mutual dislike between sun and saturn (who also rules the 8th). And the 'legal' jupiter who will oppose the will/estate saturn.
Via combusta moon is erratic, currently voc and early asc, will produce an unexpected surprise.
Maybe the belated moon mars trine in the end proves the 'yes'...


EDIT: fixed the 'combust' into "via combusta" so nobody gets mislead!

FYI - the astro.com charts always expire, so that image will likely be gone soon.

I think the 8th is more so describing the inheritance here - PoF in the 8th, Saturn ruling the 8th in the 4th (an inheritance from the father). Pluto in Capricorn in the mix is certainly adding to the description of the inheritance from the father. I would imagine property is involved as well as money with Venus and Saturn connected. Saturn would also be lessening the amount of the inheritance though because his nature is to constrict. The Jupiter-Saturn opp has been very common in legal issues where someone feels like they didn't understand what they were getting into and regretted the situation later. I have seen this in event charts a lot because I work in a place that involves legal issues with money. Another common influence is one side wanting to help the other but being unable to - there is one side wishing to increase substance, the other wishing to constrict. I would tell the querent to read all paperwork very well before getting involved. I find it more likely that the inheritance is being overestimated, or something to that effect. Perhaps he has a lot of debt that will eat up whatever he gets. Neptune in the 8th seems to add troubles with debt - I had a transit there that did that.

I wonder at Neptune in the 8th and also Mercury on the MC opp Saturn, the 8th ruler and Mercury naturally representing wills. Is the mother still alive (10th)? Will she maybe cause trouble? Mercury also rules the house of siblings and is in the 10th, so I am not sure how it is connected. Or maybe it is somehow the rule of the will. Maybe the will is ambiguous or will involve deception somehow when the resources are dispersed. The querent is well placed but the Moon is in fall in the 4th and rules the 12th, which seems like there may be drama involving other family members over the situation. It might just be describing the father's current state if he is still alive or something, I am not sure (or maybe just describing that he has passed, since fall is akin to a fall from grace and could be of the body).

The Sun is well placed but none of the significators are aspecting within orb (other than Sun approaching an opp to Saturn and them both being in signs of each other's fall), so it seems like whatever money is given out would require effort on his part to receive it, such as through a legal battle. There are three oppositions in this chart. But I would think Sun is a natural benefic in the chart and might help him get ahead in the end. Still the oppositions seem to suggest some sort of clash.

Jupiter, Lord of Plenty and ruling the PoF in Pisces-8, seems to be good candidate for representing gain from father's inheritance (taking whole-sign houses he also rules the 2nd of the 4th sign from the asc).

Sun L1 is traveling towards Jupiter, but before he can reach him (at 16? Aries) he gets a stick thrown at him by Saturn (opposition); Moon as co-ruler of querent cannot see Jupiter, is in Via Combusta and in fall, and - like the asc - in early degrees.
Agreed that the sharply applying trine from Moon to PoF looks quite promising, but there 's also something very disturbing: Moon is also very joined to Neptune by antiscion...

So I read the answer for this chart as a "no", OR a "yes" with a very strong "but..."...

Both Mercury and Saturn "yelling" at the astrologer from their highlighted positions, may point to important issues about this situation: documents and/or law, or maybe father's neighbours/brothers/sisters, or querent's spouse or opponents...

I wish to sincerily thank the following for thier help on this critical horary:

As you all have seen there is both a Saturn ruled 7H for the astrologers working on the horary and Saturn is rated R, or rectrograde Rx; so we are all off a little on our analysis.

I must most humbly apoligize to the Forum for a grave mistake, again Saturn Rx, lord of the 7th. In my haste I violated an horary precept that Lilly states we horary artists must never do; that being 'our work must become impeccable in earnest integrity'. In that I was Not infallible in my initial analysis on this in regard to aspects, and I am ashamed because many of you trusted my judgment as I stated that the Moon was trining Venus, trusted me at my word, I was away from my computer last night and could not edit the error, but Venus will eventually recieve a squ from Luna Not a trine as I had said. Talk about Saturn Rx, I was expecting much chastisement and humiliation for my error which I hope all on the Forum shall forgive. I hope all viewing the chart that seems to not delete off astro.com when you do Not enlarge it by clicking on the chart after clicking on the webb address. I hope this does Not cause any of you to back off from judgment as I know there are some trully brave horary artists who are most kind and very helpful on this Forum. :(

In CA II, chapter XXXIV, 'If the querant shall enjoy the estate of his father', Lilly states naturaly 'that the Asc. and Lord are the querant and the 4H and Lord and planet posited represent the father, while the personal goods and estate of the father are represented by the 5th(2nd of the 4th) and if the lord of the 5H be Rx or in bad aspect to a malevolent planet that the father may waste or dispose of some part of the estate'

Since the 5th, the goods of the Father is being eventually trined by the Moon I don't see this as a problem; excluding the coming cjt. from Mars to Uranus as it's an Outer and Not under Traditionalist methods. The only reason I mention this Outer is that our adept Host has said 'that in some rare cases she has seen where outers were the only way the horary could be answered'.

As stated the inheritance/Venus, the 4th matter, being Venus will recieve a wide Squ from Luna, which is stating both the querant and father are at odds in some way and there is possibly not an inheritance. Yet the problem with an Early degree rising is a warning to the astrologer but Lilly answered a few early rising horarys.

Clinton, don't worry about it - at least not here. I know I've made similar mistakes at forums and had to go back and correct them - there's something about typing into a tiny box that's distracting, at least for me, and if someone picks up the error before I do, I'm grateful for the correction. Strangely, a lot of people find it insulting - bad attitude there.

You've no need to apologise so much to us, and obviously you caught it before you went on. I think it's also a good reminder that the considerations before judgement exist for a reason.

On the subject of the chart itself, if the father is still alive, I agree with the approach as set forth by Lilly, Bonatti, et al. I took the inheritance question to mean that he was dead and there was some controversy or speculation about the estate (bad me - reading things that weren't there), when I should have asked you for clarification.

It's sorted now, though, and no harm done, just an acknowledgement that astrologers make mistakes, too, and we need to go over charts very carefully.

Dione T, as always astrology amazes us, for I know the querant personally. And the Asc. of this horary is making an applied cjt. to the querant's father's Sun, as the querant has told me thier father was born the 26th of July/about 4 degrees Leo. It also amazes me that the querant said he had the father's natal done years ago with a Capricorn asc., and Saturn was in the 12H as I understand; seems that could correlate to the Saturn cjt. the horary's 4H. I bring this up in regard to Lilly's emphasis on looking at the Asc. and seeing traits in the querants appearence; maybe someone has noticed other writters noting simular correlations in the pre-1800 horary lore. The querant does Not have the father's map handy for me to read but it's Not in horary analysis of our methods anyhow; just thought it was kind of like correlating data, as Saturn is on the 4H in this horary.

Father is presently living though in ill health to my understanding.

Another amazing thing is the querant told me they came up with the question while at the library, then emailed me the question. The Library being the 9H, and where the querant's Sun is placed in this horary, and applying to a cjt. to Jupiter, also the library. Also the querant is presently long distance from the Father, again Sun in the 9H for long distance travel.

Dione T, the querant has explained the father(4H Libra cusp) has been very secretive about the will, again Venus cjt. the horary's 8th, and as you say is preparing for his eventual death.

In CAII, Chapter XXXIV, 'If the Querant shall enjoy the estate of his Father', I find that Saturn cjt. the 4H may, actually in the horary's 3rd, may mean the father has little to will to the querant as Lilly states "If you find an Unfortune in the 4th, not having Dignities there, then you may say the Father hath little left to part with his Money, nor will it be good to move him much, untill that unfortunate Planet be transited out of that Signe: ...". So I'm wondering as the querant has said that the estate of the father was drastically reduced due to the stock failings of '99' and possible medical bills, if it is smaller than the querant's figure he asked about.

Also the Moon as I have stated is in Via Combusta/ 1Scorpio11, the Burned Path, and Not combust unless someone can explain to me that the via combusta is also called combust by some authority Ancient or otherwise.

Dione T, I can see that the 4th of the 4th, being oppositioned by Jupiter(lord of attorneys and Churches) is a real factor here as the end of the matter of the father's estate; could be a change in the will.

1. Absolutely :) And with the asc on natal sun we have a radicality of the chart and I believe we can kick out the 'too early' asc as a problem.

2. Very nice correspondence indeed!

3. But our infortune does have dignities there (exaltation, triplicity and face). Plus the accidental dignity from angularity. I do agree there will be a diminishing effect though, for the reasons of 2nd house ruler. Which appears to correspond with the stocks and medical bills issues.

4. About the "combust" moon MY BAD! My bad English in fact, it is not of course combust, (is my bad for making a fundamentally wrong typo that I missed when proofreading what I wrote; I meant in the combusta way and writing a short-form (creating a wrong participle), I resulted in calling our moon combust, I am sorry, I meant to write it is in via combusta. :(

5. I think so too, (adding the via combusta moon too), there will be some kind of not very pleasant change/surprise, some unaccounted for factor (in my opinion).

I am going back and forth rereading your latest post, I do not see why you should be humiliated in any way. For one, it is for us to cross check any aspects, no matter what you had said. Overlooking something happens very often. Besides, you did a very nice job and the more you delineate it, the more you find.
I -for one- do not have the expertise to chastise anyone and I urge you to consider I am but a student (I always worry I misguide someone in their delineations). :oops:
If I missed your point or some of them, my apologies.
Be kind, but be brave.

Did some reading, and it should have been obvious to me that Combusta is Latin for Combust. So you were right, but we have come to separate them to not confuse the sun cjt. term Combust.

Tanit,

I've found if one calculates the chart on astro.com and does Not enlarge it, and copys the wbb address, it will still be there weeks later. One can enlarge it when they click on the chart after they have clicked on the webb address.

Also the querant's mother is dead, and the father remarried, so there is a step mother involved and siblings.

Yes, I understand the Moon is both in it's essential fall being in sco and accidental dignity as it's in the 4th in this horary. I think what you wrote could describe the querant's relationship at this time as the father and querant are at odds on an issue as I understand. But then with that Moon and the nature of most inheritances few are abscent a little drama.
