Event charts

[AquarianEssence]

I am currently looking at a series of related events, all having to do with court cases involving my mother but a few questions have come up. I thought it would be a good place to learn about rulership since I have several dates to look at through court records.

[glow=red,2,300]Would the descendant be the person that initiated the event and the plaintiff if a court case? [/glow]

Since the word satan in Hebrew means the accusor and he is exalted in Libra, the natural descendant, that would make sense. The chart I am currently looking at does, though, have Libra rising with Saturn in Aries in the 7th. This leads me to believe that the asc is the defendant or person attacked even though it was the other side who set the event time (MC) and place (Asc).

[glow=red,2,300]Would the 11th be anything with the word friend attached to it like Friend of the Court? And would it also show any success or failure of adoption planned by that "Friend". Friend of the court is the one who initiated the action. [/glow]

Sun rules that house and is exalted by the descendant, so this makes sense if the descendant is the accusor/Plaintiff.

[glow=red,2,300]For such events that I don't know the exact time of, would it be best to use my birth time (I was directly involved), sunrise, midnight or noon?[/glow]

If my birth time then it would be a diurnal. With one that I know the time, it may be showing the exact degree of my mom's Moon through the MC. A sunrise chart has the moon only a degree away from here and the Moon conj Mc would fit this event. She had custody permantly taken away that day, but appealed and won 2 years later.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Aqua,

In traditional horary, Saturn in the 7th house means that "the astrologer may have difficulty interpreting the chart..he or she may make mistakes in calculation or judgment." Or it could mean something as literal as that the astrologer may suffer a delay, sometimes of years, in understanding the chart. A personal blind spot may impair judgment, etc. This is all from Anthony Louis' text. I think Kim said on another horary thread that she has read charts with Saturn in the 7th, but I am not sure what the circumstances were.

That being said, "the court system" and "lawyers" are ruled by the 9th house The Moon and 10th house rules your mother, Jupiter--lawyers, judges. 11th house rules legislation and legislators. (interesting!)

Sorry I can be of more help at the moment.

Blessings,

Thank you Amoroso. These aren't horary charts though. They are even charts ranging from the mid 50's to mid 60's all connected to the same subject. Saturn was in the 7th of this one event but shouldn't hinder me, the astrologer, from reading the event, I wouldn't think. He is the ruler of the 7th in this chart. He isn't there in any of the other dozen related charts.

I also need to have two houses for the courts. So I using the 7th for Probate and 9th for Circuit. This is important if I am to see the coming appeal. Also, Circut handles divorce but back then Probate handeled child abuse and neglect. Several years ago they merged the two courts and now Circut has a family court handeling everything. There were no legislators involved. I wanted to pin down the Friend of the Court who is an agent of the court.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for posting that website on the other thread. Did using the worksheets help you answer your questions, and do you have time to tell us how it worked out?

Curious!

Sorry for the delay in answering, Amoroso. I've been working with it on a series of related events but I ran into a couple of questions for Eric and he hasn't replied. Yes, as a general guide, it does work but I've had to intuitively modify where necessary. I'm using a group of events that I already know the underlying motives, mostly, along with the eventual outcome and inner workings so it's good for testing.
