Ask any question you like, while attempting to keep the 'transit (planet) separating/applying to natal (planet)' to the same structure as is written here. It will help me and you.

COMBINED ORB

The idea here is to see how close both transit aspects combined are to zero degrees. To do this you need to look at the slower moving transit planet in relation to the faster moving natal planet. Take that orb, lets say separating 120 degrees (-120.) To get the perfect point when both aspects equal zero, cancel each other out, you change the polarity to plus and leave the degree the same. The perfect point in this example would have the faster moving transit planet applying 120 degrees (+120) as the slower moving planet is -120 to the faster moving natal planet.

While the slower moving transit planet may be -120 to the faster natal planet, and, for example, the faster moving transit planet is only +100 to the slower moving natal planet, the perfect aspect to make for the faster moving planet is +120 to the slower moving planet. As the faster moving transit planet is -100, 20 degrees of this perfect point, you can say the planet is (-20) separating 20 degrees from this perfect point, when both aspects equal zero.

Death is 12th house and 1st house is self. I look at both these house rulers to look for death + of self.

Work is 6th house and 1st house is self. I look at both these house rulers to look for work + self. Or, how I do at work, in terms of sports people.

If I wanted to look at when I might move house, I would look at self (1st house) and house (4th house)

You don't always have to use the 1st house + something you are interested in finding out. Though if it's about the self, I would.

If you say, instead of when you want to move house want to see when your house is going to burn to the ground, you'd take H3 and H4?

Or if you'd want to see the end of an relationship (any kind) you'd take H6 and H7? And H1 and H7 to see if one "starts"?

And the closer to perfect point the more likely? Because I am still not sure I get the difference between perfect point and combined orb. Tried to reverse engineer with the aspects thread but meh.

I thought I would look at combined orb for Rulers of Houses 1 & 4 to see when I may move house (house been up for sale quite a long time now)

Anyway, rulers are both Mercury so kind of don't know where to go from here. I got -151 for Transit Mercury to natal Mercury.

Would I need to look at ephemeris for relevant dates when transits from Mercury conjunct/square/oppose natal Mercury?

Also when does a combined orb become not good?

Have got a combined orb of -8 between House Rulers of 1 & 5.

Have got a combined orb of 76 for House rulers of 1 & 7.

I assume 5th house issues may be more relevant than 7th?

Just wondering if combined orb of 76 is bad or good (as am also wondering if i will ever meet anyone again!)

Pregnancy and having a baby are the same House rulers 1 (self) and 5 (child)

Apply the combined orb to these two house rulers for pregnancy/birth of child.

Apologies for the time in getting back to you.

Rulers of house 1 and IC for when you move home.(not 4th cusp-which is land on which your house is on) please use WHOLE SIGN house system.

If both are Mercury ruled, you just look at the transit aspect of Mercury to natal Mercury. The closer the aspect (or combined orb) the better choice/selection of house you will find.

The best aspect is conjunction, which is 0 degrees. The worst aspect is opposition,which is 180 degrees. the ones in the middle are similar in terms of their degree number, but you will find that applying aspect are slightly better than the mirror opposite aspect. Example being an applying trine is better than a separating trine.

Combined orb is not the best when the aspect is near to 180, as stated above.

House rulers 1 and 5, is better, yes.

In the above example, slower moving transit planet is -62. To find the point when the combined orb = zero, the faster moving planet would be +62, as -62 (separating) added with +62 (applying) is equal to zero.

I have re-done for moving home using ruler of house 1 and IC (I did originally use 4th house cusp).

Now getting a combined orb of –4, which I am a lot more pleased with! (than the original -151).

Think I am starting to really ‘get’ all this now thanks to your help so ta v much.

It’s fascinating I’m off to look at some more…

I may be back…

What "roles" do you asign the houses? Aka, H1 is signifying the self and in transit prediction would be used for "I" in relation to what's happening.

Now H5 has been mentioned as child, what else can it hint at? Like a day where ruler1 and ruler 5 make combined orb of 3° but children don't really enter the picture?

I tend to look at house 1 with another house as you get the 'I' with something else.

You can look at other houses too, instead of house 1. An example being death of something, which would be the 12th house from a house. Lets say you wanted to search for death of pet, you would look at house 6 for pets, and then the 12th house from that house of pets, which would be 5th house. Houses 5 and 6 in combine orb for death of pets.

House 5 can be about gambling, so maybe with that very small combined orb, you should buy a lottery scratch card or ticket.

Were you after a list of what you attribute each house with? I would look on any websites detailing the houses, as a guide, as some could well be wrong.

You know what, I make the same mistake that many make when looking at examples. I don't know if sport is house 9/Sag/Jupiter, I only use the work and say so of previous astrologers, without checking. Just assuming.

Looking at work too, I use the 6th house ruler for job. The best aspect (most exact and then best aspect) 6th ruler makes to a planet gives an idea of what job is best.
I've studied many natal charts of footballers (SOCCER!) and I can only guess that not all of these will have (whatever represents sports or football) Jupiter as best aspect to 6th ruler. I guess it shows options, but that is another post.
