Horary Astrology Question:

I want to do my breast augmentation and nose surgery this year; what is a good day or month?

—D.

Nina Gryphon:

Dear D.,

Thank you for writing to me. I cast a horary chart for the time of your question:

This is a relatively simple question. To answer it, we will need to find the best time for the planet that represents you or the thing that you want to accomplish. This is not a true electional reading, which takes more time (and requires your natal chart as well) natal, but will often give us the best time and date down to the minute, if we wish. However, as a broad indicator of the best time to act, horary astrology can be quite helpful.

In this horoscope, you are represented by Venus, ruler of the first house of self. This is especially accurate because you are getting surgery done on your face, which is ruled by the first house. The breasts are ruled by the fourth house, so we will want to take a quick look at that as well. However, Venus is going to be our prime indicator for both surgeries.

Venus is retrograde at the moment, which is considered an affliction for a planet, because it is temporarily traveling in the opposite direction that it normally does. It will go direct again at 16° of Leo, which is in about 2°. This means that you should wait about two months, and then you can have your surgery whenever you want this year.

If we really want to split hairs, we can look at what Saturn is doing, as it rules the fourth house of breasts. Saturn is about to move into Virgo in about half a degree, where it is rather stronger than in Leo, its current sign. So you could potentially have your breast surgery as soon as two weeks from now. However, to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you wait two months before doing either surgery. Even though plastic surgery is very routine, it is not risk-free, and doctors do mess it up. I certainly do enough electional readings for plastic surgery “fix it” procedures, where the doctor got it wrong the first time.
