Finding lost articles is one of the most exciting areas of horary astrology in which this technique truly shines its brightest. When casting a horoscope for a client you must use the time that they contacted you and you understand their query. Doing a horary chart for yourself can be tricky because of the timing factor. If you notice that your keys are missing and you draw a chart on the computer chances are that the chart will not give correct answers. Why? Horary makes you work for your answers! And it requires an emotion behind a query. So I suggest that you first search in every possible place where you think you could have lost the keys. Only when you have exhausted all possibilities use that time to calculate the horary chart. Remember horary works best when there is that emotional charge behind each question. Moon is the most important planet which much relate to the question for getting an accurate answer.
Determine the house for which the article is related. All personal possessions are ruled by the second house. All articles related to communications like papers, books etc are related to the third house. Stolen vehicles will relate to the 4th house etc. The placement of the planet in the sign will determine the significator. This will determine the direction and the place where the article is located.
