UMars

Firmicus treats Mars as time lord as an active and disruptive period, foregrounding major occupations alongside crises, disturbances, and danger.

• A Hephaistio translator note links the Saturn/Mars injury-family material with a Lot of Accusation name in Valens and others, but the cited window does not itself provide a direct Valens-titled formula page suitable for a generic chart use Accusation lot.
• A Mars-in-Cancer example belongs to unfavorable-ruler example material about exile and self-inflicted death, not to a parent-abandonment aphorism.
• 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.
• 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 marriage chart as a valid chart in its own right that can be compared with both partners' nativities and read by houses, transits, and directions; difficult angular malefics and Uranus involvement with the luminaries, Venus, or the seventh house are framed as cautions.
• 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.
• Dorotheus gives the Wedding lot for women as the same Sun-to-Moon arc projected from Mars.
• Firmicus distinguishes a Moon condition in which Venus configured to a waning Moon and Mars configured to a waxing Moon are treated as adverse phase-sensitive witnesses.
• Hephaistio gives the Lot of Injury by taking Saturn to Mars from the Ascendant by day and reversing Mars and Saturn by night, then judging the place, its ruler, and bodily signification.
• Liber Hermetis gives the female Wedding or Marriage variant by projecting the Moon/Sun relation from Mars, using Moon minus Sun by day and Sun minus Moon by night.
• Mars' general significations include separation from parents among other disruptive outcomes.
• 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 varies lunar impediment by lunar phase, malefic, sign gender, and aspect: Mars weighs more against a waxing/hot Moon, Saturn more against a waning/cold Moon, with sign and sect-like conditions modifying severity.
• The Choices war-election passage keeps Fortune and its ruler away from enemy houses and places them with the Ascendant or second when possible, avoids impediment to the Ascendant and its ruler, makes Mars, Mercury, the Moon, and the Moon's lord fit for the war matter, and notes Mars natal testimony in victory judgments.
• Valens treats Mars square the Moon in a day nativity, when configured from the left and in another's degrees or signs, as an adverse condition tied to maternal affliction, rank reduction, travel, and military hardship; lack of Ascendant testimony worsens the outcome, opposition is more severe, and Mars or Moon in their own signs changes the judgment.

When Mars is the active ruler of time, the period foregrounds major occupations together with disturbances, crises, and danger.

When Mars gives time to the Sun but Jupiter has a favorable aspect, Firmicus explicitly treats the harsher outcome as resisted.

When Mars gives time to the Sun and Jupiter does not intervene favorably, Firmicus treats the period as especially dangerous.

When Mercury gives time to Mars but Jupiter intervenes favorably, Firmicus says the accusations and litigation are mitigated.

When the Moon gives time to Mars while full, Firmicus treats the handoff as riotous and revolutionary.

If the ruler of Accomplishment opposes Mars, the chart receives an extravagance indication.

If Jupiter rules Daimon and Mars aspects it from the superior side in this whole-sign reading, the chart receives a mixed distinguished-but-reversal-prone indication.

If Mars conjoins or opposes Accomplishment, the chart receives a pleasures-and-drink waste indication.

If Mars is in Daimon, in the Moon's place in this reading, and with the Moon, the chart receives a ruling-and-distinguished indication.
