Minimum configuration: Pentium processor, 16 Mb RAM, 5 Mb free disc space, CD-ROM, 800?600 resolution monitor.

To install the program on your hard drive, you will have to launch the setup.exe file from the installation CD and follow the setup procedure. After asking you to name the folder containing the program, setup will install all necessary components on your computer. Reboot your computer after finishing setup.

Please note: The users of any version of the VegaSviri basic program should install VegaSviri Horary into the folder where the basic program is stored. This allows the same color settings to be used for both programs. Thus, if you already have VegaSviri Professional, for instance, and you then buy Horary (giving you a complete astrological package) you install Horary into the same folder

Once the program is launched, its main window appears on the screen. It provides access to the main menu, fast access buttons, information panel and two windows where you can select the house of the querent and the house of the question. Placing the pointer at a chart item (a planet or a house cusp) calls up a help tag showing the ecliptic longitude of the given planet. A click with the right mouse button opens an additional menu which allows you to build planet motion dynamics or make changes to the planet aspectation, e.g. display only the aspects of the selected planet.

The date of planet ingression into the current sign is shown in the bottom left corner. The date when the planet leaves the sign is shown in the bottom right corner. The green vertical line indicates the actual position of the planet.

To display the aspect table, select View>Aspects. On the right side of the horary chart you will see the list of aspects and their orbs.

Entering the querent's house

To enter the querent's house, use the Querent House window. Experienced astrologers may select the house directly from the list at the bottom of the window. If the querent asks a question about his own matters, he will be represented by Ascendant. If the question applies to his wife's or business partner's matters, secondary houses must be taken into consideration. The program does it automatically, when a person is selected from the second list. The houses in the list are given appropriate numbers.

The program allows you to use secondary houses on two levels: e.g. ask questions about your boss's wife's matters. For this purpose you have to use the third list.

The respective house will be re-calculated and displayed as the first house. The house wheel remains unchanged. Only the house numbers change.

If you cannot find your topic in the list, you can proceed by two different methods:
1) Add the topic to the list using Service>Preferences. In the window select the Topics tab and complete the list. The topic you have entered will be saved for the further use by the program.
2) Enter the house number into the bottom list of the Querent's House window.

Use the Question House window to enter the querent's house. Experienced astrologers may select the appropriate house directly from the bottom list. If you don't know which house stands for this particular question try to locate it or a similar subject on the question list.

If you cannot find it on the list, press Details and find out how the questions for each house are generated. After the house of question is selected, the program shows the list of significators in the significator window.

This window allows you not only to select the significators but also to learn about each of them by a mouse click.

VegaSviri Horary gives clear instructions on how to proceed with a question (see illustration above) at every stage of the program.

The first is how the house ruler is calculated. The calculation method can be entered under House Rulers tab in the Preferences menu.

When the calculation of rulers is determined by "the sign on the house cusp", the program regards the house ruler as the ruler of the sign on the cusp.

If the ruler calculation considers the "sign length", the program determines the sign on the cusp and compares the house length with the sign on the cusp and the succedent sign. Angular houses will be ruled by the sign on the cusp. In regard to succedent and cadent houses, the program will compare the house length with each sign. If the house length of the second sign is twice as big as the length of the house pertaining to the sign on the cusp, the ruler of the second sign shall be chosen as the general ruler.

If the ruler calculation is determined by "degree ruler", the planet with the highest essential dignity within a particular degree is regarded as degree ruler. In this way some degrees in Capricorn will be ruled by Mars instead of Saturn as it is exalted in its term.

The second factor which influences the choice of the ruler is connected with modern planets. If the settings under Terms, Faces and Degrees tab in the Preferences window allow taking them into consideration, the program may regard the modern planets as rulers, too, and they can pose as significators.

Due to this feature, your approach to the ruler formation can be flexible. Nevertheless, after the significators are calculated, you may make your own corrections using Delete and Add buttons.

After you balanced the rulers and pressed Enter, the program calculates whether the chart is radical and shows the result in a window. By pressing Details you may obtain additional comments about the radical character. If the chart is deemed radical, you may start with the evaluation of the outcome.

How to calculate indications of a possible outcome? To calculate the outcome, select Outcome Indicators in the Analysis menu or press the appropriate fast access button. If the chart contains indicators of a positive or negative outcome, a new window will pop up.

In this window you can click on any indicator for obtaining detailed information.

If both positive and negative indicators are displayed, it is the astrologer's duty to make the final judgment.

Using the local space chart it is possible to find different locations and directions.

Below are working examples of two actual questions. Studying them gives a very clear idea of how to work with the program. Experienced astrologers will see immediately both how accurate it is and how much tme it saves.

The client who asked this question bought the house in a village quite far from Moscow. He liked the location a lot. After a while, though, the ownership became a burden. When he decided to sell, he found out that a property located that far from the metropolis (250 km) is in low demand, as enough relatively new houses were being offered much closer. In addition, his house required renovation.

Start the program and enter the date of the question (January 17, 1997, 2.25 pm, Moscow) in the Data Entry window. As the client asked the question himself, the house No 1 will be the querent's house. To determine the house of the question, open the top list in the Question House window and select 'house' or 'property'. Next list will automatically switch to the house No 4. The window containing significators will pop up on the screen. The Moon will be the querent's significator and rule the house No 1. The Sun will rule the house No 4 and be the significator of the question. Click on each significator to view their state.

The Moon is exalted yet located in the cadent house 12. The Moon has its strength from the sign, which means that the querent's positions are strong and he may expect to get the right price for his house. In addition, the Moon in the 12th house indicates that the querent is not sure of the positive outcome. The fact that the buyer is not yet present is confirmed by the position of Saturn (ruler of the 7th house) in Aries, its cadent sign.

The Sun, the question significator, is in Capricorn in the 8th house. The Sun is peregrine, i.e. has no essential dignities, which confirms what the querent says about the house being not very attractive. The positioning in the 8th house tells that the renovation is due indeed.

As you can see, the chart matches the question and is radical. Let's start with the outcome evaluation.

Among the outcome indicators there is a beneficial application of luminaries which, on top of this, are main significators. Many astrologers believe that it is the strongest indication of a positive outcome.

Both the Sun and the Moon are not in angular houses. That means that the conclusion will take a while. The querent managed to sell off the house quite easily. He posted an ad in a newspaper and the very first caller bought the house, though it is true that he posted the ad only in the next spring when houses are usually in bigger demand.

The question was asked by a person who stood in no direct relationship as a family member or a work mate, to N. Yet, should the outcome be positive, he could expect a certain cooperation to emerge. The question was asked on the eve of the election. The former Chairman was involved in many scandals, and it seemed that he could be dethroned without much hassle. The inquiry was listed on April 18, 2001 at 3.28 pm (summer time). The question addresses the matters of a third person, so the appropriate line has to be selected. The program establishes that the house 7 represents the querent's house, as shown on the picture.

The question adresses career and can be selected from the list of possible questions. The reshuffled chart will show House 10 as the house of the question.

The querent's significator is Jupiter. The co-significator is Moon. The query signiificator is Mars.

Jupiter, as the querent's significator, describes N as a well-established and wealthy person. Yet Jupiter is retreating. Its power is in decline, and so is N's career. Indeed, he had recently been fired from an influential position and was looking for a new job. The Moon is in the 12th house, which reflects insecurity and doubts on a positive outcome. His opponent's symbol is Mercury, ruler of the 7th house. Mercury is combust the Sun, which confirms that his actual standing is shaky. The chart is radical, fits the question, and can be used for obtaining a reading.

When we start the search for indicators of a positive outcome, the program answers: "No signs of positive outcome have been found" meaning that N's wish is not going to come true.
