HOPI
Hopi, asteroid 2,938 (the 2,938th asteroid to be discovered, on June 14, 1980), is
approximately 25.4 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of 5.6 years. Hopi
was named after the Hopi tribe of North American Indians. Jacob Schwartz gives the
astrological significance of this asteroid as “territorial disputes, minority experiences,
Native Americans.” According to Martha Lang-Wescott, Hopi represents the aware-
ness of oppression and prejudice. This asteroid also represents the principle of
“ambush,” including psychological ambush. This asteroid’s key words are “prejudice”
and “ambush.”

HORARYASTROLOGY
Horary astrology is one of three branches of the general category of interrogatory
astrology, literally, the astrology of questions. The other two branches are electional
and event interpretation.
Horary astrology requires a question to be posed by a querent; and the simpler
and clearer the question, the better. The purpose of horary method is then to provide
a means to answer the question.
As a technology for answering a specific question using astrological methods,
horary can also be considered a type of divination. As such, it is akin to I-Ching, tarot,
geomancy, and many other divinatory practices.
The horary process can, for simplicity’s sake, be divided into three compo-
nents:
Defining and asking the question
Describing the circumstances surrounding the question, i.e., proving the question
Providing an answer to the questionTHEASTROLOGYBOOK [323]
