# AstroQuestion — Horary Astrology Engine

> AstroQuestion (https://astro-question.com) is an open-access, precision Horary Astrology computational engine based on 17th-century classical astrological principles (William Lilly, Guido Bonatti, and Claudius Ptolemy).

## Core Capabilities
- **Question Horary Engine**: Casts an astronomical chart for the exact timestamp and location of a question formulated in the mind. Evaluates the 1st House Lord (Querent), Quesited House Lord, planetary aspects, essential dignities, and the Moon's applying aspects to derive an immediate, structured verdict (Favorable, Unfavorable, Delays, or Uncertain).
- **Zero Registration & Privacy**: Free to use, no user signup, no email capture required.
- **House Systems Supported**: Regiomontanus (traditional default) and Placidus.
- **Traditional Considerations Checked**:
  - Early Ascendant (< 3°): premature question / situation in flux.
  - Late Ascendant (≥ 27°): conclusion already fixed / matter past resolution.
  - Void of Course Moon (VOC): Moon forms no further major applying aspects before changing signs.
  - Saturn in 1st House (Querent afflicted or misinformed) or 7th House (astrologer's judgment impeded).
  - Moon in Via Combusta (15° Libra to 15° Scorpio, excluding Spica at 24° Libra).
  - Planetary Combustion (within 8.5° of the Sun) and Cazimi (within 17 arcminutes of the Sun).
  - Mutual Reception and Transfer / Collection of Light.

## Question Types Supported
1. **Love & Relationships**: "Will my partner return?", "Will we marry?", "Does my crush have feelings for me?" (1st vs 7th house).
2. **Career & Employment**: "Will I get the job offer?", "Will I receive a promotion?" (1st vs 10th house).
3. **Finance & Property**: "Will my house sell?", "Will my investment pay off?" (2nd, 4th, 8th houses).
4. **Lost Objects**: "Where are my lost keys?", "Will I find my phone?" (2nd and 4th houses).
5. **Examinations & Travel**: "Will I pass my exam?", "Will my visa be approved?" (9th and 3rd houses).
