Horary (Lilly)
The question-based practice codified in William Lilly’s Christian Astrology, which judges a chart cast for the moment a question is understood rather than for a birth.

Epistemic status
Every rule below is recorded as documented interpretive tradition with no empirical validation. The provenance badge states how faithfully the record represents its source; it is not a measure of whether the rule is true. Prohibited uses: medical diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment decisions; legal conclusions or advice; investment, trading, or other financial decisions; predictions of death, disaster, or pregnancy outcomes; claims that a chart determines personality, capability, or behaviour; guarantees about future events; high-stakes decisions taken on astrological grounds alone; employment, lending, insurance, or housing decisions about a person.
No rules published
No rights-cleared, proofread transcription of the 1647 text is available. The source is public domain, but every machine transcription found is unproofread OCR; publishing rules from it would violate this layer’s transcription-fidelity claim.
