the entire sphere to impart form to whatever is taking place at that point on the Earth. Since
the disposition of events are the outward manifestation of thoughts generated in the mind,
thoughts are an entity, and are conceived, gestated and delivered, no matter how difficult it
may be to trace events from their inception through their subsequent evolution.
Since a man's thoughts are fashioned after himself, they must of necessity reflect that
universe of which he is a part; and the concepts he creates, working with whatever materials
are available within his environment, will be faithfully reflected in his being and disposition -
a perfect mirror of celestial and human correspondence.
A few of the more notable characteristics of a valid Horary Figure are:
The Signature Rerum, or celestial pattern of the factors involved in any situation under
scrutiny, its form, essence and totality, must be viewed in the abstract, free from obfuscating
prejudices, emotional involvements and the confusion of surface events that would tend to
prejudice the interpretation. One must be willing to read the answer without wishful thinking.
These factors will be portrayed in the Scheme, yet they must be observed as things apart,
except where they interfere with or complicate the issue.
The time for which the Figure is cast is a subjective factor pertaining to the consciousness and
character of the practitioner, in that it represents his own particular connection with the matter
at issue. The element of time, his consciousness and the circumstances of his life are thus
inseparable.
Whether the watch from which is taken the time for casting the Figure be slow or fast, if the
practitioner is unaware of it the Figure will be as correct for him as it would have been had
the actual time been known and used. In other words the correct perception of time reposes in
his own consciousness.
A Figure cast for a trivial or confused issue or query will be unrevealing, since the
significance one is able to extract from an Horary Figure is limited to the precise quality of
consciousness brought to bear upon it.
The more vital the issue the greater the extent to which the Figure will conform to it; and this
conformity is frequently evidenced by the correspondence of one or more of its salient
configurations with equally important features visible in the querent's Nativity. These
