Horary astrology: where is the missing check stub?
April 8, 2008
In the US, the tax filing deadline looms. I was scouring our home office for a check stub I needed over the weekend, and finally put up a chart. I’m stumped. Where in this chart does it show that I would find it? Because I did find it.
(Click to enlarge the chart.)
I figured, missing document is Lord 4, Saturn. It’s in the 10th house, home office. It’s retrograde, so it’s “coming back.” But there’s no contact between it and me as Mars (Lord 1) or me as Moon (my co-significator). And Moon is void of course, which would normally mean “nothing comes of the matter.” I went through all my unfiled papers – got a lot of overdue filing done – but no check stub.
But… I woke up the next morning long before the alarm clock & couldn’t get back to sleep. Thought some more about what I would logically have done with a stub from a check I had to deposit – and realized I might have folded it and stuck it in my checkbook. When I came downstairs and looked in my checkbook, there was the folded check stub.
All I can think of is that the very late Moon at 29 Aries 55 was indeed applying to trine Lord 4, Saturn, but AFTER a change of sign. So, maybe the chart meant, “You won’t find it tonight, but you will tomorrow.”
Result: paystub in gray checkbook, gray checkbook in red handbag, red handbag on the table between living room and dining room. The table itself is south of where I was when I asked. I was wrong about searching the home office, but maybe Lord 4 in 10th house meant “Go south.”
Sigh, back to the books… Readers, any insight?

Why is missing document Lord 4? It’s a piece of paper — why not Lord 3 (which would, of course, still be Saturn)? But you’d also look at Jupiter, and Mars is going to oppose Jupiter.

For lost object questions, we have a few choices for which planet represents the lost object. We can look at Lord 2 (my possession), Lord 4 (my “buried treasure”), or the natural ruler of the thing missing (e.g. Mercury for keys, Venus for jewelry). In this case, I went with Lord 4 because Saturn is in a Mercury sign. It was the most logical choice I could come up with.
From what I just said, I realize that Jupiter as Lord 2 might have been an option, as you say (but not because Jupiter happens to be in the 3rd house). And Mars Lord 1 does apply to oppose Jupiter Lord 2. But there’s a prohibition: Mercury over at 8 Aries is faster than Mars OR Jupiter, and will square Mars before Mars has a chance to perfect the opposition to Jupiter.
Hmm. That Mercury square. Maybe the successful “find” was shown by Mercury (natural ruler of documents) applying to square Mars.
Lost object charts: not my strong suit!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you’re well.
