If I'm a baby when it comes to natal astrology, I'm a foetus when it comes to horary. But being the curious sort that comes with a lively Jupiter... well, here goes. I have not found the answer to this question in a search here or elsewhere - at least not in a way I understand.
Best way to put it is with an example (invented). Let's say I have builders at my new house, who tell me today that they will be finished with all the works in two weeks. I want to organise a housewarming party, so obviously, when the works are finished is important to me. So I decide to cast an horary asking:
Will the builders be finished in two weeks?
I can't cast it straight away, because the builders are making a racket, but a couple of hours later they have left and I have peace and quiet and can get to work.
What date/time do I use to cast the chart? In two weeks exactly, day to day, hour to hour? The time now? The time the builders told me (2 hours previously?) Another time?
ETA: another (related) question is: does the answer only pertain to the actual question asked (the event happens in two weeks) - or will it also answer whether the event will happen at all? Or would that call for casting another horary chart?
Thanks
