A horary textbook on 460 pages, large format. This book is more than just a book - it offers an in-depth, self-teaching course. Its 153 pages of theory and 307 pages of practice (124 example charts, all from the author's files, nearly all with a known result) are a rich source of knowledge, provided by a professional astrologer with over 25 years of practice in consulting and teaching. The author, Ema Kurent (QHP or Qualified Horary Practitioner, DFAstrolS, ISAR CAP, CMA), is not only a qualified and experienced astrological counselor, teacher and international speaker, but also a writer who has produced several bestselling books in her native, Slovenian language. This book will teach you how to become an expert in horary astrology, and it will also show you how to master natal astrology by learning those ancient astrological techniques which are at the core of the horary art. It is suitable for those barely knowing how to draw a chart as well as for more experienced astrologers and horary practitioners. But what is horary astrology? It is an ancient branch of astrology aiming to provide short and clear answers to specific questions. (Does Peter love me? Where are my sunglasses? Is my kitten going to be well again? Should I quit my job? Are we travelling to Scotland this year? Is my husband going to launch his business project soon? Etc.) In the Practice part of the book, all example cases are thoroughly delineated and accompanied by whole-page charts including the necessary tables. Practice is divided into 12 sub-categories: Love and marriage, Pregnancy, Employment and career, Real estate, Finance, Missing articles, Missing people and pets, Physical well-being, Legal questions, Travel, Services, Miscellaneous cases. Each of those chapters is introduced by detailed interpretive rules, specific to each category of questions.The Theory part is much more than simple theory which has already been covered in all the other horary books; it is an elaborate resume of the author's rich experience, and it involves new insights. The book includes chapters on her original research into the use of eclipses, declinations and locational astrology in horary, for example. She also makes sure that you understand the basics, not only of horary but of astrology per se. Some traditional approaches are being questioned, though, and the reader encouraged to re-think some of the concepts that she believes are being wrongly understood and practiced by modern horary astrologers. Ema first wrote this book in her native, Slovenian language (published 2015) and then translated it to reach a wider audience.

Greatest horary book I own

23 November 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Not only do you get an exhaustive analysis of each situation, but she has charts from Solar Fire on the pages. So you can see the main chart, transits, etc all together to see how she came to each conclusion. This feature alone makes it 5x better than any other horary book, since you no longer need to run charts yourself to see all the different factors involved.

Cleary written and easy to use

Clearly written and easy to understand, even the more technical and complex ideas. Ema presents traditional horary techniques and original techniques developed from her years of experience, with the reasoning for these explained. She has many case studies. The large format makes it comfortable to use as well. This is one of the more user-friendly horary books around. A wonderful addition to anyone's library.

A valuable resource for learning horary astrology

26 March 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

The following is quoted from a review which I posted on my astrology and tarot blog.
A few weeks ago I received a review copy of a recently published book on horary by Slovenian astrologer Ema Kurent. I don’t know Ema personally but I am familiar with her work through an online astrology group which we both participate in. Ema learned horary in the early 1990s under the tutelage of Olivia Barclay, from whom she received her QHP (Qualified Horary Practicioner) credential. As a result, her approach is solidly based in the work of 17th century horary astrologer William Lilly.

The first thing that impressed me about the book was its size. It is a large volume, measuring 11 x 8.5 x 1 inches, containing 460 pages, and weighing just under 3 pounds. The cover is beautifully designed, and the inner pages are thoughtfully formatted so that they are easy to read and to refer back to.

The first 152 pages of the text are devoted to the theory and basic principles of horary astrology. Ema provides a clear and readily understandable explanation of traditional horary methods, as practiced by Lilly and other Renaissance and medieval astrologers. She does not simply regurgitate the teachings of these older authorities. Instead, she critiques these traditional methods and presents her own modifications, based on her own decades of experience as a horary practioner. For example, unlike Lilly who used his own location and the time that he understood the querent’s concern, Ema’s own practice and research have convinced her that “the true time of a horary question is the time when the question is ‘born’ in the mind of the querent” (p.24) and she casts the chart for the location where the querent first thought of the question.

She also adds some novel material, such as her use of eclipses, declination, lunar nodes, locational astrology and the seldom used essential dignity of monomoiria (the 360 individual degrees of the zodiac in Hellenistic astrology, each of which was associated with a particular planet). As a result, Ema gives her readers much to ponder, re-consider and experiment with in their own charts.

The meat of the book (and, to my mind, its most valuable portion) is the Practice section which extends from page 153 through to page 458. Here Ema delineates in detail 124 case examples from her files, dating back to the 1990s. Examples of just about any type of horary question you can imagine will be found here. Each question is accompanied by clear explanations and a full-page astrological chart with tables of the essential horary information needed for delineation. My recommendation is that readers consider each horary question and delineate each chart for themselves before reading what the author has to say about the chart. In doing so they will be able to test their own learning and ability to answer a horary question against the technique of a horary expert. Using the case examples as a workbook in this way, though time consuming, will certainly enrich the reader’s skills as a horary practitioner.

In summary, I would highly recommend this book to astrologers, both beginners and those experienced in the horary art, who wish to learn, review, test or re-examine their knowledge of the theory and practice of horary astrology. In writing this volume, Ema Kurent has made available a valuable teaching tool, which will be lasting contribution to the literature on this branch of astrology. Every serious student of horary will want to have a copy in their astrology library.

Extensive and excellent text on Horary Astrology

5 April 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

This is a major new textbook of horary astrology; it's a substantial work - 460 pages long with a price to match. So it is only fair for the prospective purchaser to ask: What do I get for the money?

Ema Kurent is a Slovenian astrologer who has decades of experience as a horary practitioner in her native country. She took the QHP with Olivia Barclay and so is firmly rooted in the William Lilly tradition of that school. However she is not afraid to update that practice where necessary and has added her own research on eclipses, declinations and locational astrology. She writes in an uncomplicated way and patiently explains even the most obtuse concepts. We are indebted to the author for sharing her insights into the practice of horary astrology and presenting them in such a systematic manner.

The book consists of three sections: theory (138p), practice (299p) and an appendix (5p). In addition there is a detailed table of contents (5p) and a short index (just over one page; really an index of techniques used).

The theory section covers those preliminaries necessary to successfully use horary astrology, both general astrological and horary-specific topics. The practice part of the book consists of twelve sections of example charts, 124 example cases in all. These are arranged by topic (e.g. love & marriage, employment & career, missing articles, travel, etc.) Each topic opens with a detailed discussion of what to consider in the chart for that type of horary question. These principles are then applied to between 4 and 17 example cases in each section, taken from the author's extensive case files.

Each example case includes a full page chart with associated tables (planetary hours, mutual receptions, nearest eclipses, planetary stations and speed, essential dignities, Moon aspects & planetary sect). In addition there is a detailed discussion of each chart - how it arose, how it was interpreted, the result (in most cases) and reflection on the outcome. These discussions range from one half to a full large format page.

One of the strengths of this work is that the author is not afraid to investigate where her predictions miss out on some part of the answer, such a timing or location of a lost object. She then goes on to discuss what went wrong and what lessons she learned. She is not afraid to take an honest look at where she could have done better and draw the necessary lessons for future readings.

In my view there is sufficient material in this book for three courses on horary astrology: introductory, intermediate and advanced (see my review on the Skyscript forum).

Q. IS THIS THE ONLY BOOK ON HORARY ASTROLOGY I WILL NEED?
Probably not. But this together with Barbara Dunn's Horary Astrology Re-Examined and William Lilly's Christian Astrology Book 2 would be sufficient.

Q. COULD I JUST SIT DOWN AND READ THIS FROM START TO FINISH?
Obviously yes - but I think the size of the work is so formidable that most people would quit. Better to take it in three stages - as I suggest - introductory/intermediate/advanced. Then you can get as quickly as possible to actually reading horary charts.
I think the text is equally suitable for both self-study and classroom/tutored courses.

Q. WHAT BACKGROUND IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL?
In order to get the most from this book, a reader needs a basic knowledge of planets, signs, houses and aspects, as would be taught in an introductory course on general astrology. (But they would not need to have studied natal chart delineation.) The author does cover all the necessary topics from the beginning (zodiacs, planets, houses, etc.) but in quite a sophisticated way.

[In the interests of full disclosure I should say that I am a former student of Ema's (I took her Personal Predictive Astrology course in 2017/18, which included 10 hours of horary astrology). I also assisted in the proofreading the manuscript and received a complimentary copy of the book. So I can claim to be intimately associated with the work and in a unique position to provide a critical review.]
