docs-only
- A Mars-in-Cancer example belongs to unfavorable-ruler example material about exile and self-inflicted death, not to a parent-abandonment aphorism.
- A public-reputation lane can support project-launch goals when visibility is the actual topic: Choices emphasizes the eleventh house, Jupiter, the Sun in the tenth, Moon applications by supportive aspects, and received significators for good name and manifest completion.
- Abu Ma'shar derives several house topics by analogy to planetary indications: the fourth from solar father/origin language, the fifth from Venus and Jupiter themes of children and pleasure, the sixth from Mercury's hiddenness and instability as illness/service, the seventh from lunar meetings and marriage, the eighth from Saturn and death, and the ninth from Jupiterian religion and travel.
- Abu Ma'shar gives a staged superior-planet synodic sequence from heart-of-Sun through burning, under-rays, strong easternization, stations, opposition, westernization, setting degrees, and renewed under-rays, with thresholds varying by planet.
- Abu Ma'shar's Hermes marriage-time lot uses the Sun-to-Moon relation from the Ascendant by day and night, and its timing testimony is read when marriage is already indicated in the nativity.
- Bonatti frames the root of elections as adapting the Moon, the Sun, the planet naturally signifying the intended matter, and the sign fitting the matter, keeping the chosen sign free from malefic impediment when possible.
- Davison treats the public or legal wedding ceremony as the operative beginning of the marriage chart and recommends choosing a time with supportive marriage-chart factors, including favorable luminary, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Ascendant, seventh-house, Moon, and Fortune conditions, while avoiding difficult Moon and malefic testimony.
- Dorotheus distinguishes Saturn-Jupiter and Saturn-Mars configurations: Saturn-Mars is tied to property loss, bodily weakness, family/father harms, and sibling grief, while Jupiter testimony mitigates the misery.
- Dorotheus gives a transit lot concerning children by taking Mars to Jupiter from the Ascendant by day and reversing the direction by night; later contacts to that lot supply children-related testimony.
- Firmicus gives a narrow eighth-house Moon condition that is qualified by nocturnal nativity and Jupiter testimony, keeping the judgment tied to house, luminary, and benefic support.
- Paulus describes the planetary-hour sequence as a planet going about for the day while successive planets execute the hours in Chaldean order, beginning with the day lord and repeating through day and night.
- Paulus gives a thirteenfold twelfth-part procedure for stars, pivots, and lots, then distinguishes benefic and malefic twelfth-part contacts to lights, Mercury, pivots, Fortune, Spirit, Necessity, and the prenatal lunation.
- Purchase elections have direct topic witnesses: buying-for-profit and common-purchase pages emphasize adapting the Moon, Mercury, the second and eleventh houses, Fortune, benefic support, and avoiding Mars and the Tail.
- Purchase is a topic family, not one universal page: estate, house, land, and similar purchases use specific Ascendant, Moon, fourth-house, Fortune, Saturn, benefic, and malefic-avoidance considerations.
- Sahl defines transfer of light as a lighter planet separating from one significator and applying to another, carrying the first planet's nature to the second and indicating mediation through go-betweens in the example.
- The new-love preset has direct support only as a love/friendship-seeking lane: the witnesses emphasize the Moon, Venus, the eleventh house and its ruler, reception, Jupiter support, and freedom from impediment.
