Horary is the branch of astrology that gives specific and concreteanswers to specific questions.

A chart is drawn up for the time andplace of the question, and strict rules are used to draw an answerfrom the chart.

John Frawley is one of the best known horary astrologers in the world,practicing what he calls 'The Real Astrology', traditional astrologyas it was practiced prior to 1700, as put forth in William Lilly'sclassic masterwork, Christian Astrology.

In the Horary Textbook, Frawley concentrates on the essential core ofthe tradition, recovering the full use of dignity and reception ininterpreting a chart.

Starting with the basics, the book is clear,uncluttered and concise, and builds from first principles, throughways to interpret specific questions.

The system he presents is clear,simple, logical and powerful. The book does not have many example charts, but the ones he does haveare very clearly explained.

This book is one of the very best of modern books on horary astrology,and along with his earlier work, The Real Astrology, provides an entryto the classic work of William Lilly.
