What are significators in horary
Significators (from the Latin significator - meaning, indicating) are planets appointed as the main representatives of the participants and objects of the horary question. In horary mechanics there is no place for abstract generalizations: each actor is correlated with a specific celestial body. 1) The significator of the querent (questor) is the ruler of the sign on the cusp of the 1st house, as well as the planet in the 1st house; 2) Co-significator of the querent - the Moon (shows state of mind, emotional involvement and dynamics of events); 3) Significator of quesite (subject of the question) - the ruler of the sign on the cusp of the corresponding house (money - 2nd, work - 10th, buying an apartment - 4th, partner or open enemy - 7th); 4) Natural significators (almutens of nature) - Venus for love, Mercury for documents and news, Mars for conflicts.
Assessing the capabilities of significators
1. Accurate determination of the cusp
Calculation of a house using the Regiomontanus system (traditional horary standard) or Placidus to find the exact ruling planet.
2. Essential virtues
Abode, exaltation, triplicity, term, face or expulsion/fall show the integrity, resource and true strength of the party.
3. Accidental force
Angular position (1st, 10th, 7th, 4th houses give the power to act), speed of the planet, retrograde and combustion by the Sun.
4. Mutual reception
What advantages the significators have of each other - shows sympathy, dependence, respect or hostility of the parties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to do if the querent and the subject of the question are ruled by the same planet? ▼
In this case, the ruler of the Ascendant is given to the querent, and the Moon is made co-significator of the querent. Alternatively, for quesite, the natural significator of the matter is attracted or the Moon is transferred to the subject of the matter.
What does it mean when the significator is burned by the Sun (up to 8.5°)? ▼
Burning is severe damage: the planet is “blinded” and deprived of legal capacity. The person is stressed, does not see reality, or is subject to the will of a stronger figure.
