✦ Horary Astrology
What is horary astrology?
It is an ancient method that answers a question by reading the sky at the moment the question is asked. Your birth chart is not used; the chart of the moment you ask is cast. Its origins reach back to Mesopotamia, its technical structure took shape in the Islamic Golden Age, and it peaked in the West with William Lilly in the 17th century.
Do I need my birth date?
No. Horary looks only at the moment the question is asked. Your birth date, time or sign is not needed — this is the most fundamental difference from a birth chart.
Can any question be asked?
Concrete questions that can be answered yes or no work best. "If I accept this job offer, will things work out?" is a good question. Unmeasurable questions like "What is the purpose of my life?" or "Will I be happy?" don't suit horary — the chart says something, but what it says won't be the answer to that question.
Can I ask the same question twice?
By classical tradition, the same question should not be repeated unless circumstances have genuinely changed. Repeating a question to change an answer you didn't like doesn't work; the second chart usually repeats the first or becomes unreadable. If there's a genuine new development, asking again is of course meaningful.
Why is the answer sometimes 'Uncertain'?
If positive and negative testimonies are balanced, the chart isn't tipping either way. This usually means the situation genuinely hasn't been decided yet. Rather than forcing a Yes or No, we prefer to say so.
What does 'Yes, but' mean?
A link forms between the significators, but through a difficult aspect or alongside counter-testimony. The event happens — with friction, delay or a cost. It's the most common and usually the answer closest to real life.
Does horary tell fate?
No. Horary reads the tendency of the moment; if circumstances change, the outcome can change too. It is a compass, not a prophecy. That's why 'if I do this, will it work?' gives a more accurate result than 'what should I do?'
✦ Process & Readings
What do I see for free?
The instant you send your question, you see the verdict (Yes / Yes, but / Uncertain / No), the single concrete reason for it in the chart, and the whole chart wheel — for free. Timing, counter-testimony, what you should do, and the Moon's last aspect are locked.
Are the locked sections really not generated?
They are not. Instead of writing the full reading and hiding part of it, those sections are never created in the free flow. So you can't reveal hidden text by viewing the page source — there is no text there.
How long does the reading take?
After payment is confirmed it usually reaches your inbox within 2-3 minutes. During busy hours it can take up to 5 minutes.
I didn't get the email, what should I do?
First check your spam folder. If more than 10 minutes have passed, you can find your payment on the /odedim page. If the problem persists, write to astrum.horary@gmail.com with your order number.
What's the difference between the Quick and Detailed Reading?
The Quick Reading (₺19,90) is a full six-paragraph reading: significators, the critical aspect, approximate timing and the verdict. The Detailed Reading (₺49,90) adds a technical layer — dignity levels, retrograde and combustion checks, mutual reception, whether the Moon is void of course, and a concrete step drawn from the chart. The verdict is the same in both; what changes is the depth.
I didn't understand the reading, can I get clarification?
Your reading email has 'Follow-up' buttons. From the same chart you can ask about a specific detail (timing, who should take the first step, etc.) for ₺49,90. No new chart is cast; your existing chart is read more deeply.
What language is the reading in?
The site is available in Turkish and English. The reading comes in whichever language you ask in; you can switch languages from the toggle at the top right.
✦ Payment & Packs
What should I watch for on the payment page?
On the Shopier payment page, use the SAME e-mail address you entered on the site. The system matches your payment by this address. If you type a different address the payment goes through but the reading won't arrive automatically — in that case you can resolve it yourself from the /odedim page, and an e-mail is also sent to you.
Is payment secure?
Payments are handled through Shopier's infrastructure. Your card number, expiry date and CVV never reach Astrum's servers at any stage.
What do I get if I buy a pack?
Packs of 5, 10, 20 or 100 readings are bought at once and lower the cost per reading. On your next questions the payment screen never appears; it's deducted from your balance and the reading comes straight through.
Do my credits expire?
No. The credits you buy never expire; you can use them any time.
Can I get a refund?
Once the reading has been delivered to your e-mail it is digital content and cannot be refunded. If the reading has not yet been delivered, contact astrum.horary@gmail.com.
✦ Privacy
Is my location stored?
Your raw coordinates are not written to a separate record; they are used only to compute the chart. A location label (like 'Current Location') remains inside the computed chart.
How long are my question and reading kept?
90 days. This period is needed to send the reading by e-mail, generate follow-ups, resolve payment issues and show your past readings on the /gecmis page. After 90 days it is deleted automatically. Your e-mail address, however, is kept indefinitely to track your credit balance.
Is my question shared with third parties?
To generate the reading, your question and the computed chart are sent to Google's Gemini AI service. Resend is used to send e-mail and Shopier for payment. Beyond these, your questions are shared with no one, are not used for advertising, and are not sold.
Can I ask for my data to be deleted?
Yes. Just reply to the e-mail your reading came in, or write to astrum.horary@gmail.com. Details are on the Privacy page.
How do I see my past readings?
Enter your e-mail on the /gecmis page; a single-use link valid for 15 minutes is sent to you. No password needed.
