Hi fensi,

Yes I am sure you are right .. I was doing
some research and messed up my settings
but TZ=4 is definately correct - thankyou.

Cairene there is only one chart.. the question
on the charts is more of a technical software
issue and should not be seen as a diversion
into multiple charts.

In determining the house - the usual initial entry
point in horary analysis we use the question as
stated or intended by the client. This is clarified
until the Horary practitioner can see which
houses are involved.

You said "This relationship would have been
"occasional" and more casual."

I can understand the logic behind "naming" a
person as defining the quesited house as 7 and there
is a tradition of just using the 7th house when in doubt
of which house to resolve to.

Seventh house is always the house of the intimately
known other especially and usually with some
formality ( of ceremony ? ) such as a business
agreement or marriage - typically there is some
formal interaction, that is, documents. Sometimes one
just has deep interaction as with an open enemy
but even with an open enemy the enemy is often fighting
about financial resources which again involves some
kind of a ( disputed with an open enemy ) agreement.

I would judge the house in this case as the fifth house
as fifth house is all about speculation, sex for pleasure,
amusement and is opposite the 11th house of friendship
so there is some interaction at the friendship level.
Seventh house would be more of a live in partner
or husband or a person one works with in a career
situation.

Unfortunately, one has to be very careful with house
analysis of the question and the chart meaning the
planets placement in the houses and signs must describe
or as is said - draw a confirming signature of the concern
of the client.

For example, in purchasing property we use 1st house,
2nd house for client finances and ability to pay,
as usual for the client, 4th house describes the property,
3rd house the neighbours, 5th house the future profit to
be made on the property, 7th house the purchaser,
8th house state of the loan/mortgage, 9th house the
clients lawyer, 10th house current perception of the value
of the property and 5th house as the buyer/sellers
lawyer. And it just goes on and on. How the zodiac
and planets and rulers et al are configured will describe
the current situation and this description should
match the clients question, concern and the perception
of the horary practitioner, When everything matches then
one reads the chart according top horary rules and
the result is described.

That, of course, is the issue - the reading of the chart
is often not easy - the chart is correct but the interpretation
may be in error. With all the self checking possible this
is usually not a factor except with inexprienced horary
practioners or even if that practitioner cannot understand
the issues that the client is presenting - meaning resolving
clients questions into the correct houses with a supporting
signature from the chart.

Thank you for this thoughtful answer and the info. I appreciate that.

Can we then say that Jupiter (me) and Venus (him) trine and Venus and Moon conjunct, that there will be a meeting in this case? I thought I could see that and was really trying to figure out the "when" but it's been so hard on my brain.  

Here's an update on this story. He emailed an invite to his birthday party this weekend. I haven't decided if I'm going yet.
