Bonatti Table of Perfection in Horary Astrology
I created this infographic to help you navigate reception and aspects in horary charts, based on an excerpt from Bonatti’s Book of Astronomy. This is for those of you asking questions like: “Nina, what if the sextile is without reception? WHAT THEN?” You can also visit Skyscript for another chart by Deborah Houlding that presents the same information a little differently.

Hi. Can u please help me with this reading? I did a chart asking ” if he love her”. I dont know if i take him as 1st ruler or if i rotate and take him as 7th and then count her as 7th from thr 7th?
If hes asc hes in 9th retro and ahes in 2nd retro too. Thered no aspect between rulers. However moon is in 2nd and will cj jupiter as her.
In thr 7th there is venus kiron and neptune on thr asc.
Is moon always the querwnt? Here as im the one asking question dont know if moon is him or me?

Dear Ana,
If you have questions about a specific chart, I suggest you take it to one of the horary groups on Facebook, where you can post the chart, and so on. In my experience, questions about other people that don’t directly involve you can results in less-than-clear charts, as you are a bit removed from the situation. I would suggest rephrasing the question in a way that involves you.
Kind regards,
Nina

I suppose this rules according to the specific case, because it is one thing to succeed with debilitated planets if I want to bewitch someone, and another is to believe that because I have an application through a trine and reception, it does not matter that the Sun is in Cancer and the Luna in Capricorn, I’m going to be successful anyway if for example I want to get married. Right?

Sorry, there is no trine in my example, but you know what I mean.

Hi Nina,
Your articles are very interesting. Thank you so much for those.
I’m a little confused about the books on picatrix. Is it best to order the illustrated copy?
I have seen that the glyph of spica is either a bird or a strand of wheat. I can’t get an emerald so I have a piece of very pretty blue apatite piece and plan to engrave a glyph on it with an engraving tool. I bought sage oil and have sage and mugwort to smoke it with. I’m planning to work with the september 17th date.
Please enlighten as to which glyph to use. This will not be a ring but is a stone too large to wear. What do you do with it after the ritual? Do you state your intentions while engraving during the alignment?
