Hi Jane!I don't know much about horary but I've read up on the basics. Usually, it's best to ask a very specific question. For example:
"did my mother's caregiver, L steal my boyfriend's money?"
Then you can look at the houses that each party is represented by in the chart. The only planets that matter are the ones representing YOU and the situation at hand.
I'll explain.
You (the querent) would be represented by whichever planet rules the Ascendant.
The Ascendant is in Capricorn - so you are represented by Saturn (in Virgo).
Your SO would be represented by the ruler of the 7th - as he is your partner, so in this case he would be the Moon (in Virgo).
Your mother would be represented by the ruler of the 4th house - Taurus cusp - makes that Venus.
HER caregiver would be represented by the 6th house counted FROM the 4th house, so that is - Libra - again Venus (interesting, they both have Venus)
The money is represented by the ruler of the 8th house of money and possessions, which is Mercury in Pisces (Lies? Deceit?). I'm saying the 8th, not the 2nd, because you are not asking about your own money. You are asking about "other people's" money.
The fact that Venus (the representative of her, and your mother.. I'm not sure why they are together. Could it be possible your mother knows or saw something?) is conjunct Mercury (representative of money) – makes it look like she clearly HAS the money.
This conjunction is happening in Pisces, which suggests she may be having some Piscean problems at the moment, love/sacrifice/spirituality. She may have needed the money – I'm not entirely sure. She is either playing the martyr/victim role, or she truly is a victim.
Maybe your mother felt sorry for her and didn't say anything. Could that be the case?
Hope that doesn't offend. I'm not a pro at this. Just trying to make sense of it.
If we look at the dark side of Pisces (lying and betraying trust) and since she is Venus, perhaps she simply USED the money for some romantic purpose, like buying a nice dress for a date.
The Moon, your partner, is exactly opposite this conjunction. Very interesting!
This could mean -the money (Mercury) is now with her (Venus), which was very upsetting to your partner. He is very emotional and picky about this (the traits of a Virgo Moon).
Another noteworthy fact, is that - your bf (the Moon) - is in the HOUSE of money, in the 8th. But this house, as above, is ruled by a Mercury which is conjunct the caregiver (Venus).
YOU are represented by Saturn, meaning you are karma in this situation and want to achieve justice. You are in the same sign as your bf, in Virgo, so you guys are *together*
However, the moon (your bf) is separating from you and the situation at hand (as the moon is separating from a conjunction to Saturn). Likewise, the opposition to Venus/Mercury is a *separating* aspect, so this suggests he is sort of forgetting about the issue. He is letting it go.
Another thing, usually the querent (which is you) is also represented by any planets conjunct the Ascendant. Jupiter is conjunct the Ascendant, so Jupiter is a second representative for you. This is interesting considering you are a Sagittarius, and again, it points to you wanting justice in this.
Your bf is definitely in a good relationship with you at the moment (at the least you two think alike and are teamed up on this issue). I'm saying this because, even though the Moon (him) is separating from your first representative (Saturn), it is actually moving towards a trine with your second representative, Jupiter. If he does want to drop the issue, you will remind him of it very soon.
Now there are a couple of problems with this:
1. Astrologers in the olden days did not consider interpreting a horary chart that has a Capricorn Ascendant (ruled by "malefic" Saturn) because the answer is thought to be NO, straight up. I think they had similar views about the other malefic, Mars.
I disagree with this.
2. Sometimes when the ascendant is in the late degrees of the sign, it means something like "the issue has already been decided", and apparently there's no point to interpret the chart.
I don't agree with this either.
Anyway, I don't think u have this problem, because that's probably only after the 26th deg. Yours is on the 24th.
Personally I'd say - yes she has stolen it and she will lie in Neptunian style about it. She is also charming as Venus is exalted in Pisces so you'll find it difficult to distrust her.
Your mother may have taken pity on her. That's something else to look at.
Hope this helps!
