iHorary

Horary, brought into the modern age.

I built iHorary as the tool I wanted while learning: a dedicated place to cast the chart, follow the traditional method, and understand every rule as you meet it.

The whole method, in your hands.

The chart opens as a worked judgment—not an answer. Follow the evidence in the order the tradition teaches it, open the rule behind any term, then make the judgment your own.

  1. Fit to judge

    The chart is radical and the question is clear.

    No dispositive consideration prevents judgment.

  2. Who is who

    You (Querent):☉in Gemini

    They (Quesited):♄in Aries

  3. Their condition

    ☉ sextile ♄+

    Saturn receives the Sun by exaltation+

  4. Does it perfect?

    ☉ ⚹ ♄ · 2°18′ applying+

    The Moon reaches Saturn first−

  5. The Moon’s story

    ☾ reaches the quesited before perfection−

    Frustration interrupts the promised contact−

  6. Your judgment

    Synthesise the evidence above.

    What is the most probable outcome, and why?

Inside every chart

The traditional method, made visible.

On every chart, iHorary works through the considerations below and shows you the rule behind each one — so you can learn how a judgment is built.

  • Essential dignities

    Rulership, exaltation, triplicity, term, face — scored per the tradition.

  • Receptions

    Mutual, one-sided, and by lesser dignities. Direction matters.

  • Lilly moiety orbs

    Orbs belong to the bodies, not the aspects. Applying and separating resolved to the minute.

  • Translation & collection

    Detected automatically, reported as distinct perfection paths.

  • Antiscia & contra-antiscia

    Shadow aspects across the solstitial axis. Can serve as perfection when no direct aspect exists.

  • Arabic parts

    Full lot corpus computed on every chart — Fortune, Spirit, Marriage, Eros, Love, Children and more. Part of Fortune contributes testimony to the judgment.

  • Fixed stars

    Regulus, Spica, Algol and others — conjunctions with significators or angles are weighed by nature and magnitude.

  • Five house systems

    Regiomontanus by default — Lilly's choice — plus Placidus, Alcabitius, Porphyry, and Whole Sign.

  • Denial checks

    Prohibition, refranation, frustration, Moon void-of-course — applied before any verdict of "yes."

A question radical is when it hath all the essential considerations required.

Questions

Your questions, answered.

No — deliberately. The engine computes every testimony the tradition weighs and shows you each one with the rule behind it, but it never states a verdict. Judgment is the skill you are here to build, and a machine stating it for you is the fastest way not to learn it.
Everything is free — casting, the wheel, the worksheet, the tables, the rule cards, your judgment record. An account is required so your charts and your record follow you between devices. There are no credits, no packs and no subscription.
It is kept, with the date. Later, when you know what actually happened, you record that too — once, and it locks the judgment so there is no after-the-fact "I called it". That paired record is the only honest way to find out whether you are getting better.
Lilly moiety. Orbs belong to the bodies, not the aspects; applying and separating are computed to the minute.
Regiomontanus is the default, as the tradition prescribes for horary. Placidus, Alcabitius, Porphyry, and Whole Sign are one click away. More can be added on request — the ephemeris supports them.
No. It is a rigorous second opinion. Disagreeing with the engine is expected and sometimes correct.
