Horary Question:

I want to know if and when I get married to the right person and whether our relationship will work out or not. I am very depressed because of some past experiences, and feel continuously rejected because of my face. I am in my early twenties, and had skin problems for years, which makes me very ugly. I am worried that no one will marry me.

—G.

Nina Gryphon:

Dear G.,

I am very sorry to hear about your problem, and sympathize because life is not always fair. In a perfect world, we would all be beautiful and perfect and have our choice of marriage partners. In reality, this is not so, and looks are unfortunately often important in how others value us.

I set a horoscope for the time that I understood your question, a technique known as horary astrology, wherein it once at the chart for the time the question is understood, and the answer is contained in the horoscope. The horary chart for your question is below:

You significator is Venus, ruler of the first house of self. Venus is not in terrible shape, it is Peregrine in the sign of Aquarius. So we can see that while you may not win beauty pageants because of your skin problems, you’re far from ugly. Venus is directly opposite Saturn, which is always a malefic planet, but especially now, because it is in the sign of detriment, Leo, and retrograde. Since Saturn rules the skin, we see that your skin is in a bad state and it is afflicting you.

You are also shown by the Moon, which is your co-significator, and it primarily shows your emotional state. The Moon is in the 12th house of self undoing and imprisonment, and it is very commonly seen in horary charts where the person is depressed or has given up all hope. The indication here is that you are in a prison largely of your own making, and have developed a complex. This is completely unnecessary, but you’re the only one who can decide that this disease is not going to run your life.

I believe you can get married; the situation is nowhere near as hopeless as you think it is. The Moon is in a fertile sign, which is a strong testimony for marriage. Venus is not very interested in the Sun or Mars, your future husband’s significators, which makes me think you’re not putting very much effort into trying to meet people or putting yourself out there as marriageable. This goes back to that Moon in the 12th house of self undoing - unless you make an effort, your results are going to be bad.

Your potential husband is shown by the ruler of the seventh house of partners, Mars, and his co-significator, the Sun. We can see when and if these significators will meet yours to see when will be the best opportunities for marriage. Our best bet is likely the Moon moving into Aries and squaring Mars. This will happen in 14° or so, so I would be inclined to look at this as months. Hopefully, this is not years, but I trust that the opportunity will come in just over a year.

You are also concerned that you might not be able to get the kind of husband you want, but I think you’ll be pretty pleased. I don’t expect him to be full of manly vim and vigor, but he is going to be a solid guy, and may in fact be from a higher social position or financial status than yourself. This is because Mars is exalted, though the Sun, representing his masculine side, is in its detriment in Aquarius.
