If there is no other supporting testimony, as in your example below, I'd be wary of making an unconditional prediction that the matter will be perfected. There is an indication that it might be but if the Moon has no essential dignity and is badly placed, or slow or under the beams, then that would be more an indication of things not happening. If everything else is neutral then it's more a possibility than a probable outcome. Things may work out but it's not certain. Put the Moon in a strong position, say in the tenth, waxing, with some essential dignity, such as Terms or Triplicity, and the possibility becomes much stronger.
Hi Minderwiz and thank you for the time. As you saw beloe the Moon is exalted BUT she is no otherwise dignified, being in the 12th, true - approaching the Asc but in my opinion not close enough to consider her 1st house yet. The Moon was waxing actually. It was before the Full Moon in Taurus.
I'm not sure that I go along with the full Medievalist view that Mars in Capricorn 'hates' the Moon because it's in the sign of the Moon's detriment. And I have doubts about the idea of mutual reception through detriment.
Well, for me this was an interesting case because I happen to know that these two people do like each other. They may not have a relationship yet but they are by no means considering each other physically or emotionally unsuitable, to the best of my knowledge. This is why, from a learning point of you, I wanted to consult you. The Moon is applying to Mars from his place of detriment and traditionally Mars would reject her but... On the other hand why would the Moon apply to this Mars in her own place of detriment at all? Traditionally she shouldn't see anything in him. I don't know, we'll see what the future brings but I'm not sure about this.
The Moon in Taurus and Mars in Capricorn are both strong and the trine is bringing them together. But there is no reception involved (unless it is a night chart and the Moon is the Triplicity ruler) or unless there is reception by Terms. So whether the relationship will last is not certain. Again, there may be other factors in the chart which points towards success).
Nope, no other factors, in my humble opinion, as I've described below. This is why I wondered how I should treat the Moon trining the male significator.
There's one other point that inclines me to agree with you. The Moon is the co-significator for the querent but the main significator is Venus (assuming you're using the first and seventh).
Yes, the female significator was Venus. At this point Venus was combust (though separating by more than 3 degrees already but still under the beams), in the 6th and in Scorpio - pretty much as bad as it gets. That she was combust has an explanation in real life and indeed she was burned (there is no other man though). In any case, there was no upcoming aspect between Venus and Mars, no translation of light, nothing else to give positive answer. The only slightly positive thing would be Venus being in Mars' sign and Mars being in her triplicity but this could simply point out at the fact that these two people are finding each other "not bad".
I don't see the Moon as being the other person, but more as a force of nature that is bringing them together in the sublunar world.
According to my limited knowledge, the Moon is co-significator of the querent and also kind of signifies the question, the thing asked about itself, right? It can't be the other person.
That makes the involvement of the Moon, less personal though still acting for the querent. That the Moon is 'secondary' in this sense is seen through the process of horary. The first thing you checked was to see if there was a relationship between Venus and Mars, not to see if there was a relationship between Moon and Mars (or Moon and Venus as I've seen some horary writers take the Moon as co-significator for both querent and quesited).
Of course that idea would not apply if the Moon was the sign ruler of the querent or quesited and was a personal singificator.
Yes, I took the Moon as secondary, however I took the Moon as the querent herself, considering the Moon being the querent's co-significator and thinking that the querent seems to be the one more eager to pursue this connection with the questited (the Moon being the faster and applying to Mars).
The question is: will they get together or not? Romantically, that is. If I take the Moon as an external force, then as a ruler of the 4th I can't really see how either their families or home lifes or anything 4th house related would bring them together. Both are immigrants here, no families with them at all.
Correction: I checked the chart again and the Moon rules the 3rd as well, which makes more sense in terms of some communication, I guess. But the question for me remains: will the trine from the Moon to Mars be sufficient for a positive outcome? And in general, what do you think Minderwiz about the power of the Moon in horary? Would it be sufficient?
P.S. All significators are actually in some dignity of Venus, I just noticed. The Moon is not only in Taurus but in Venus' terms as well. Mars is in Venus's triplicity and borderline in her terms, too (leaving though). May be that shows their liking each other. Or may be he doesn't like her that much anymore. I'm confused.
