Horary astrology is a branch of astrology that seeks to answer specific questions or concerns posed by an individual at a particular moment in time. Instead of focusing on birth charts or the positions of celestial bodies at the time of birth, horary astrology examines the positions of the planets at the moment the question is asked.

The astrologer casts a horoscope for the exact time and place when the question is received and interprets it to provide insights into the question asked. This practice relies on traditional astrological principles and techniques, such as planetary rulerships, aspects, houses, and planetary dignity, to derive answers or predictions.

Horary astrology is often used for addressing questions about relationships, career, finances, health, and other personal matters. The astrologer analyzes the chart to determine the likely outcome or resolution of the question based on the positions and aspects of the planets and other relevant astrological factors.
