This is an example of a horary astrology reading I performed for a client in mid-July, 2006. Below is the horary reading analysis as well as some remedial measures with which I helped the client.

Background:

An accountant who had been unemployed for a few months wished to know whether it was a good idea to apply for a 9-month, temporary job with a shipping logistics company. He felt somewhat hesitant, as the job was very demanding, and essentially required him to act as one half of a two-person team. The client was not thrilled about this, but needed money. The application process was rather lengthy, and he did not wish to make the effort for a job he may not want.

Answer:

The job is shown by the planetary ruler of the 10th house, Mars. It is essentially weak and placed in the malefic 8th house. This does not bode well for the quality of the job itself.

The client is symbolized by Saturn (ruler of the 1st house of the self), which is quite weak because it is in Leo, a sign of its detriment. Is the client a particularly desirable employee right now? Not likely.

Mars is also in Leo, so also in Saturn’s sign of detriment; Mars really hates Saturn. The job hates our client, so we can make a preliminary guess that he may not get the job, or even if he gets it, he will hate it.

The watery Moon, symbolizing the client’s emotions, would not do very well in the 10th house - it would be in Scorpio, where it is in its fall. Emotionally, this job would be terrible for the querent.

The money from the job is pretty good, shown by the second sign from the 10th - Sagittarius. It is ruled by Jupiter, which is strongly placed, and quite overflowing with blessings (in the fertile water sign of Scorpio). The money is pretty good - it’s not a huge salary, but it’s pretty good.

The final nail in the coffin is that the job and our client will not have the opportunity to actually meet. Mars (the job) and Saturn (our client) will not aspect each other. Neither will Mars and the Moon (the client’s cosignificator) meet. So we can conclude the client should not apply for the job, because he probably wouldn’t get it - and seeing the quality of the job, thank goodness for that!

Spiritual Work:

Seeing my answer, the client understandably got somewhat agitated. Though the horoscope supported his gut feeling about the job, he wanted to know how he could attract the kind of job he wanted.

My advice was two-fold. First, I recommended a series of herbal cleansing baths. In this case, we saw in the chart that he was not in the best state psychically - perhaps he felt he could not compete with others in line for the job, or the coworkers once he got the job. I recommended a 13-herb uncrossing bath, performed daily before sunrise (not an easy task in the summer) for 13 subsequent mornings, starting just after the full Moon, so that the bad influence would decrease.

Second, after the bath series was done, I asked him to send me a personal item, and I put together an extra-strength mojo bag for him. The goal was to help him find a job soon that he enjoyed, that would pay well, and that had potential for advancement. The exact contents of the bag are a trade secret, but it included such traditional items as a Mercury dime for fast good luck, Five-finger grass for dexterity and favorable reception by other people, and Solomon’s Seal root for wisdom and success. I also sent him some oil with which to feed the mojo and use when he searched for work.

UPDATE! On August 21, the client called me, saying he had found a well-paying job in a large company, and his boss was an old friend from high school. He was absolutely ecstatic.
