More on the Moon’s Nodes in Horary

In the last post I reviewed an article by Pepa Sanchis about the Moon’s Nodes. Recently I had a chance to test her comments in a personal horary which involved the South Node.  Sanchis noted that in her experience the Lunar South Node in horary charts could signifiy loss, weakness, decrease, reduction, poor quality, darkness or dark places, blockage, restriction, sluggishness, lack of effort, depletion of energy, illness, subtraction, deception (both deceiving and being deceived), criticism, and even a bit of insanity.

On September 9, 2018 I asked the horary question about whether I would be able to go on a vacation trip to Italy in October, which my wife and I had been planning for some time. What prompted the question was the recent onset of a cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) which is now being worked up.  I wasn’t sure that I would feel physically able to do the amount of walking on hilly terrain which the tour required, so on September 9th I asked a horary about whether I would be able to go, given my recent medical problem.  Here is the chart with Regiomontanus Houses.

It is a Sun day during a Moon hour.

Scorpio rises, making Mars in Capricorn in the 3rd my significator.

The trip abroad is signified by the Moon, ruler of the Cancer 9th house. Unfortunately, the Moon is quite debilitated by being combust the Sun.

The Moon (trip) will eventually trine Mars (me) but it is not within orb of the trine, and by the time the Moon reaches Mars by transit, Mars will have passed into the next sign Aquarius and will be totally without dignity (peregrine).  Currently Mars in Capricorn lies in the sign of detriment of the Moon.

So far the chart does not look promising as far as my being able to go on this trip is concerned.

My ruler (Mars) also rules the 6th house of illness and will soon change signs into Aquarius where it will be peregrine.  Shortly after entering Aquarius, Mars will conjoin the South Lunar Node, which Pepa Sanchis associates with illness, sluggishness, decrease of energy, loss and restriction.  Over the next few days I did feel more sluggish and lacking in energy because of the ongoing arrhythmia, and I realized that I would not be able to keep up with the planned activities of the tours due to the restrictions created by the medical issue.  On September 12th we decided to cancel our reservation which will entail some loss of the money we already paid toward the trip.
