Horary Astrology -- the Kobe Bryant incident

Horary astrology has ancient roots, was used to answer important questions when only kings had personal natal charts. Only the Magi, the ancient wise men and astrologers, knew the birth data knew the birth data of kings before most kings could even read and write. Horary astrology is still important today for answering questions, and the birth data of the people involved is still not required.

Remember back in 2003 when the Kobe Bryant scandal erupted? A desk clerk in a famous hotel near Aspen where Kobe was staying accused him of raping her. My advanced astrology class and I wanted to investigate the situation. So we ran an horary chart to answer four related questions: 1) did he rape her; 2) would he be prosecuted; 3) would he go to jail; 4) what really happened in a classical she-said, he-said situation.

For each question you must have at least three yes or three no results before you can say the question is answered. so we tackled each question individually and received resounding and definite answers. Did he rape her? No. Would he be prosecuted? No. Would he go to jail? No.

So what did happen? First, we took the horary chart and treated it as an incident chart. It indicated that the desk clerk was not telling the whole truth; neither was Kobe. The next step was to glean from the newspaper and sports magazine accounts the time the desk clerk said she went to Kobe's room and used it to run another incident chart showed what was going on at that time, in that place. It definitely showed that the clerk went to his room with sex and money on her mind -- even if it wasn't her primary reason for going up there. Maybe any young woman would have fantasized about having sex with such a dynamic young man, and what that might lead to, even though he was married. I don't know. I don't know. I do know Kobe sized the moment up as a sexual opportunity, and acted upon it. The events played out so that both of them achieved their thoughts. They had sex, and she eventually settled for an undisclosed amount of money to drop the whole thing.

Undoubtedly there were other factors which figured into what happened that night, but we had enough to give us definite answers to the questions we asked.

Next time I will begin to explore a local incident in which an 8-year-old-boy was accused of murdering his father and the man who rented a room from him.
