Just reviewing this chart I wrote up on April 8th to improve my own understanding. Lord 4, Saturn, representing the mislaid check stub, is in the 10th. I assumed, since our home office has piles of papers I need to file, that the check stub was buried among them. But the 10th doesn’t only (nor even primarily) stand for the home office. According to Lilly, it is the “Hall, or Dining-room.” That’s a capital-H “Hall”: the formal room where one receives and entertains guests. We’d call it the living room.

This chart’s 10th house includes some Leo and some Virgo. In our house, our “great hall” is a living room/dining room area with no wall between the two. A sofa and a table serve as space separators. Saturn is in very early Virgo, so it’s not unreasonable to say the missing object is on the borderline between the two functions of the space.

Lately I’ve heard that mutable signs can indicate that the lost object is inside another object. I need to find a citation for that. Saturn is in mutable Virgo; the check stub was in my checkbook, inside my handbag.

A gray checkbook; a red handbag. Could that level of detail be seen? I want to make some lists of which colors are associated with various planets, signs, and houses. Might help to have that listed two ways: a color wheel annotated with astrological notes, and an astrological list annotated with colors, so you can look it up either way.

    I usually pick up the ruler of 2nd to represent missing object. Here, cusp of 2nd house is in Sag which is in connection with red colour and ruler of 2nd is in Cap, Cap is in connection with gray color. That is my explanation.

  2. Oh, interesting! Thank you for that, Goca. I’ll have to look into that. Where have you found a good reference to colors?

    I too usually use the 2nd house ruler for a missing object, but to answer your question, Olivia Barclay in her book Horary Astrology Rediscovered has a lot on colours. J9


  4. Aha, thanks, J9! Adding that to my “oh, go buy it already” book list.


  5. And thank you, too, Goca! Yay, new reading material!
