An ancient branch of horoscopic astrology, horary astrology works by answering a question. The answers are derived by constructing a horoscope for the exact time the question was posted. Some astrologers of this branch also practice plotting the location of the querent (the person asking the question) as part of the astrological chart.

The degree to which a horary horoscopes is developed is dependent on the type of question. It could require a simple yes or no. It can also be more complex and requires a bit of divination to get the answer.

Horoscopic Astrology is a one of the many astrological systems in existence today. Some claim it developed in the Mediterranean region during the late 2nd or early 1st century BC. It is also closely linked to the Vedic astrology, which some say is the oldest surviving form of horoscopic astrology.

In Vedic astrology a two-dimensional diagram divides the heavens. Horoscopes, or astrological charts, are created from this by measuring the alignment of the celestial bodies against specific moments in time and from a specific point on Earth. The horoscope is also divided into 12 celestial houses. To properly cast a horoscope, calculations are performed using arithmetic and geometry.
