Lada introduces Zeira, a traditional astrologer from Italy specializing in Horary astrology. This method focuses on practical, everyday questions rather than abstract psychological insights. Historically, Horary astrology was made famous by William Lilly, who used it for common people, whereas astrology was previously reserved for nobles. Horary astrology can answer questions about lost objects, relationships, job prospects, and even financial matters. Zeira emphasizes the importance of clear communication between the querent and the astrologer to formulate a precise question for the stars.
Zeira undertakes the challenging task of analyzing Jeffrey Epstein's death using Horary astrology. The question posed is whether Epstein was killed. Zeira identifies key significators: the querent (Lada) as Saturn and Epstein as the seventh house, represented by the Sun. She notes the presence of Regulus near the seventh house cusp, suggesting noble or high-ranking connections for Epstein. The Sun in the third house, positioned between fixed stars Algol and Aldebaran, indicates a transition in Epstein's public perception from a 'monster' to a 'fallen leader,' implying that the full truth about him may not be known yet.
Zeira focuses on whether Epstein is currently alive. The Moon's position on the cusp of the eighth house (death) and its connection to the radical and derived eighth houses, whose significator is Mars, suggests a deep connection to death. A rare parallel aspect between the Sun and Mars, where Mars is 'leaving' its position, indicates that if he died, it was a very recent event, not when the public was told. Furthermore, the antiscion (shadow) of Mars falling directly on the seventh house cusp reinforces the idea of an imminent or very recent death.
Zeira suggests that Epstein's death was likely a family matter, driven by a desire for his money and properties. The Moon's movement towards the eighth house cusp and its connection to a Venus that signifies death points to a community or individuals who wanted his inheritance. She even speculates that some of his children might have been involved. She dismisses the idea of a death in prison due to the chart's indications of misinformation and fabricated stories circulated around his death. The presence of Regulus suggests involvement from powerful or 'royal blood' individuals, implying a high-level conspiracy related to his wealth and hidden information.
Zeira explains her preference for the tropical zodiac in Horary astrology, as it provides more detailed and understandable information for practical, mundane questions. While the sidereal zodiac might be better for spiritual insights in natal charts, the tropical zodiac aligns better with the material and local nature of Horary inquiries. She also highlights the importance of fixed stars, which offer additional layers of understanding in both systems, particularly for events that seem unbelievable like those in Epstein's chart.
