QSun

Firmicus treats solar time-lord periods as exposure-heavy and disruptive, with loss and solar strain themes that can be moderated by chart sect or benefic assistance.

• 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 treats Venus and Mercury with their own solar condition bands, and gives a Venus latitude exception in which visibility can prevent the normal burned label even at close solar proximity.
• Abu Ma'shar uses lunar visibility relative to solar distance in an exaltation argument, including a general Moon-visibility boundary around twelve degrees while preserving latitude and contextual caveats.
• 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 gives the Wedding lot for men as the Sun-to-Moon arc projected from Venus.
• Dorotheus gives the Wedding lot for women as the same Sun-to-Moon arc projected from Mars.
• 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.
• Liber Hermetis gives the male Wedding or Marriage variant by projecting the Moon/Sun relation from Venus, using Moon minus Sun by day and Sun minus Moon by night.
• 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.
• Skymates describes composite chart construction as averaging the two birthcharts, using midpoints between corresponding planets such as Sun, Moon, and Mercury.

When Jupiter gives time to the Sun in a diurnal chart, Firmicus explicitly says the solar misfortunes are lessened.

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 the Moon gives time to the Sun but Jupiter intervenes favorably, Firmicus says the fever-and-fire branch is mitigated.

When the Sun is the active ruler of time, the period foregrounds exposure, disturbance, loss, and solar-strain topics, though a diurnal chart softens some of it.

When the Sun rules its own period in a diurnal chart, Firmicus explicitly says the solar misfortunes are lessened.

When the Sun rules its own period and Jupiter assists, Firmicus says the solar misfortunes are counteracted.

When the Sun rules its own period and malefics bear on it, Firmicus says the solar misfortunes are aggravated.

When the Sun gives time to the Moon, Firmicus treats the handoff as unstable, reversing, and fluctuant in fortune.

When the Sun gives time to Saturn in a diurnal chart, Firmicus treats the handoff as a prosperity-increase branch.

When the Sun gives time to Saturn in a nocturnal chart, Firmicus treats the handoff as a severe pestilence-and-death branch.

When Venus gives time to the Sun and Jupiter has a favorable aspect, Firmicus turns the separation branch toward necessary journeys rather than raw loss.

If Daimon's ruler is in Daimon with the Sun, the chart receives a fortunate-distinguished-dictatorial indication.

If Daimon is with the Sun and its ruler is at morning rising, the chart receives a fortunate indication.

If the Sun is in Daimon but the stronger Daimon-placement condition is not met in this reading, the chart receives a deferred-fortune indication.

If the Sun is in Daimon, in sect, and the Daimon ruler is strongly placed there, the chart receives a distinction-and-friendship indication.
