In this horary chart, the querent is signified by the Moon at 4° Pisces, and flat she is considering by Mercury. At 24° Aries, Mercury has no essential dignity, indicating that the flat is in poor condition. This is a significant warning sign, especially given that the building is only a year old and the flat has never been occupied.

​

The price of the property is shown by Jupiter at 14° Aries. Jupiter not only lacks essential dignity but is also combust, suggesting that the price is low and likely to decrease further. If the querent negotiates, she should be able to secure a reduction.

​

Jupiter also represents the neighbours and the transport links in the area. As noted, Jupiter is both undignified and combust, which testifies that the neighbours are likely to be extremely unpleasant - people the querent would prefer to avoid. The transport connections in the area are also poor.

​

The querent is signified by the Moon at 4° Pisces. At this degree, the Moon is in Jupiter’s rulership and in the detriment and fall of Mercury. This shows that the querent is attracted to the price but dislikes the flat itself. 

​

There is an immediate opposition by antiscion between the Moon and Mercury. This indicates that if the querent proceeds with the purchase, she will regret it.

​

And so it proved: why would a flat in a brand‑new building be in such poor condition? The client later confirmed what the chart showed after meeting the owner of another apartment in the same building. She was told it would be the worst investment she could make: the materials used in construction and finishing were of low quality, and the building suffered from frequent, costly problems.
