Finding lost or stolen objects in Horary Astrology

Occasionally, Tarot readers are asked about lost or stolen objects, where they can find a lover or relationship, or perhaps which direction to move home or work. Horary Astrology comes to the rescue.

At an elemental level, where an item can be found is fairly self-explanatory.

Places of Objects

• Fire

Middle height or level, near a wall, by a fire or heat source, near something that is iron or steel

• Water

In water, lowlands, near moisture. Fountains, bathrooms, oil tanks, liquid containers.

• Air

Upper level, above ground, upstairs, near windows, fresh air.

• Earth

On the ground, floor level, in the earth. By a bridge. Concrete or pavements

The Triplicities indicate how easy something can be found:

Angular

The lost object is where it ought to be: nearby, quick and easy to find

Succedent

The object is not in its usual place, and will take longer to find. However, it is usually nearby, outside, or in an outbuilding such as a garage, or in the garden

Cadent

Either far off, or close by, but hidden and almost impossible to find. This will take time to find, usually indirectly by a third party
