A doctor and I recently went through a medical horary together, trying to figure out what the humoral imbalance was in the patient so that it could be corrected by treatment. I had never taken a horary in which the doctor had asked the question about the patient's condition and then cast the chart, himself. Doctor gets Lord 1, obviously. But where is the patient? As it turns out, the answer is: Lord 7. Here, the chart itself guided us to the answer.

I suspected Lord 7 -- Saturn -- was the patient, so I looked at him. I immediately noticed that the antiscion of Saturn was conjunct Pluto.

Me: Is the patient agoraphobic?

Dr. Yes, she is.

Me: We'll take Lord 7.

And then the condition of Lord 7's dispositor and its corresponding diagnostics matched the patient's condition. So that was that.

So, Pluto proves useful again. I have seen him signify basements, someone living in the basement, someone who never comes out of the house (agoraphobe), a controlling individual, elopement, and devilish/demonic things. Perhaps criminal or criminality.

On the controlling individual front . . . I am needing to hire a housecleaner for the lakehouse. I made contact with one woman, who told me she just moved to the area from California. She hasn't been able to make it over to give me an estimate. I asked a horary about whether I should employ her. Five degrees inside the 6th House cusp: Pluto. She's got a controlling boyfriend living with her. Bad sign.
