Quick Summary

Interrogatory astrology is a branch of astrology focused on answering specific questions posed by a client. This practice involves an astrologer interpreting the positions and movements of celestial bodies at the precise moment the question is asked. It is considered a form of divination, relying on the belief that celestial configurations can provide insights into earthly events. This method is less deterministic than other forms of astrology, such as genethlialogy (birth charts), and emphasizes the astrologer's preparation and ritual purification. Interrogatory astrology has roots in ancient practices of interpreting omens.12
