Free Astrology Advice: Horary Astrology – Where Is My Watch?
June 2nd, 2007 at 6:06 pm (Free Astrology Readings)
Horary Question:
My partner brought me a beautiful silver watch as a gift and I have misplaced it. It is very important that I find it. I would take it off before bed and before showering. I have looked everywhere I thought I would put it with no luck. I am pretty sure it is within my house.
Can you please help me locate it?

Nina Gryphon:
Dear T.,
Thank you for writing to me – losing valuables is just so frustrating. I cast the horoscope for the moment that I understood your question, which is a method known as horary astrology. The horary chart for your question is below:
You will find your watch, and soon. It is shown by the ruler of the 4th house, Mercury (watch) in Cancer (silver), so we have a perfect description of your lost item. Isn’t it nice when the horoscope cooperates so completely? Mercury is right on the Ascendant, which means that your watch is very close to you, and therefore completely findable.
With the significator of the lost object on the Ascendant, you will need to look in these places:
- Wherever you spend a lot of your time (definitely look all around and in your bed),
- Anything you have on you (clothing, purse),
- Somewhere comfortable (Mercury in a water sign), another argument for the bed,
- Somewhere wet (the bathroom, near pipes/plumbing).
Let me know where you find it!

Nina,
Your precise, elegant delineations of various charts are a joy to read and enormously instructive as well as helpful and entertaining. So I am a regular visitor, very appreciative of your skill and generosity in sharing your work with us all.
I’m keen to understand why, in this case, you’ve used the 4th house ruler to signify the watch. I would have used the 2nd house ruler, the Moon, which, interestingly, provides much the same judgement as your interpretation, because the Moon also signifies the querent. So we reach the same conclusion by different paths: the watch is close to the querent and will be found - although the sixth house location of the Moon suggests somewhere near pets or small animals, or perhaps a place of work within the home.
Warm regards,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Thanks for your kind words and alternate analysis.
In lost object horaries, we have an unusually wide choice of significators for the object, including the second, as you say, the fourth, Fortuna, angular planets. Mercury is both Lord 4 and angular, and most importantly, perfectly describes our lost object. Lilly is invaluable on this subject - you may want to check him out.
Warmly,
Nina

Thank you Nina - yes, you’re quite right, given the prominence and aptness of Mercury in Cancer. The Moon’s placement and rulerships serve here to underline that judgement and confirm the certainty of the watch’s return. Judgement is such a good description of what’s required of the horary astrologer - it’s so much more than the rigid application of a set of rules!
