Horary astrology consists in deciphering the natal card at the time a question is asked, that is to say, a horoscope is calculated at the moment that a question is asked and then it is interpreted.

Mundane astrology does not apply only to persons, for example, every country has its natal card which indicates the events that happen in it. For instance, the sign of Argentina is Cancer ascendant in Libra. The natal card is calculated based on the day and time the country's independence was declared.

Meteorological astrology is the type of astrology that helps to track climate changes that are generated on earth, for example: droughts, hurricanes and floods.

Elective astrology consists in finding a place, time and date that is suitable to start a business, close deals, form groups, conduct interviews or appointments, among other things.

Predictive Astrology includes different methods to predict responses to various needs and situations. Among the most commonly used methods, are the solar revolution (consists of one year), transits (planetary contacts with important points of the horoscope), lunar revolution (consists of one month) and natal astrology (birth chart).
