Horary Question:

Will I ever have a long term relationship? I’ve been getting natal astrological readings from both Western and Eastern astrologers who have told me that I will definitely be getting married. Then they give me a time prediction and it NEVER happens. Ever. I don’t even meet anyone. This has been going on ever since I can remember, for years. I’m 29 this year. Have all these astrologers been jerking my chain or what? Every “relationship” I’ve ever had ends abruptly, after only a couple of months. The guy just ups and leaves. Will I ever meet anyone that will stick around? I feel like I’ve been chasing a carrot on a stick my entire life. Will I ever meet “the one” or what?

—A.

Nina Gryphon:

Dear A.,

Ah, the fine art and science of timing our predictions. While I have no idea what your natal chart looks like, I expect that those astrologers were not jerking your chain. Timing a prediction is difficult, whether you’re working with horary astrology or natal astrology, because unless you’re very thorough and understand the chart very well, you will get it wrong. Of course, maybe the astrologers were just plain wrong. But either way, I don’t think they were intentionally leading you on, so much as wanting to please.

Let’s take a look at the horary chart for your question. Horary charts are horoscopes drawn for the moment the astrologer understands your question, and the idea is that the answer for the question is in the horoscope for the moment of the question. The horary chart for your question is below:

The chart shows pretty clearly that yes, you will have a long-term relationship at some point in your life. Scout’s honor, I am not yanking your chain. Because of your age, we will tend to look at testimonies pretty positively — it takes a whole lot less effort to get married at 29 than it does at say 89. And the chart will reflect that. We see that the ruler of your first house of self, Saturn, is in the seventh house of marriage. This is excellent, because it shows that you really do want a partnership and therefore will make an effort in that direction; you would be surprised how many people claim they want relationships, but they really do not.

Your co-significators, the Moon and Venus, your emotions, and your female urge to mate, respectively, are both in Aquarius, the sign of Saturn. So they are very much on board with the plan to find a long-term relationship, which is also helpful, because it shows that you don’t have some kind of inner conflict preventing you from finding a relationship and staying in it. The last positive testimony is that the Moon is in the same sign as Venus, which is a general indication that your feelings and your hormones are on the same page. So all these testimonies show that you are marriageable, and with a little effort, should not have serious problems finding a guy.

Now, let us see when your long term relationship will happen. Note, by the way, that this relationship may not actually last forever, but it will last sufficiently long to qualify as long-term. Since we have already established that such a relationship will happen, we know the timing is somewhere in the chart. Most likely, it is shown by the Sun’s opposition to Saturn. Normally, we wouldn’t take planets into the next sign or through prohibiting aspects, but these long-term questions are a pretty reliable exception. The Sun will oppose Saturn at 21.5° Aquarius, so it will travel about 22.5° to make the opposition happen. Given that the Sun is in a Cardinal sign and a cadent house, this will give us a timeline of 22 weeks, which translates to about five to six months. Hopefully the 22° refers to weeks not months, but if it refers to months, then we are looking at about two years. But, given how motivated this chart shows that you are, I would be more inclined to plump for the shorter timeframe.

Now, I do not know if this is the relationship to end all relationships, because it is happening thanks to the opposition, which tends to bring people together but with regret, or only to break them up later. But, you didn’t ask whether it would last forever and ever, you just wanted to know whether would be long-term. Of course, getting out there and meeting people is the number one way to, you know, meet people and increase your chances of being in a long-term relationship.
