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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- Bonatti transmits a Hermes marriage lot for men and women that takes Venus to the degree and minute of the wedding angle, explicitly identifying that wedding angle as the seventh angle, then projects the distance from the Ascendant.
- 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 gives a Pleasure and Wedding lot by taking Venus to the degree of the seventh sign and projecting that arc from the Ascendant.
- 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 men as the Sun-to-Moon arc projected from Venus.
- 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.
- Liber Hermetis gives a Wedding lot by projecting the Venus-to-Saturn relation from the Ascendant by day and reversing Saturn and Venus 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Valens treats Venus square the Moon as potentially favorable when condition is supportive, but reverses the judgment toward instability and disrepute when dignity, sect, or degree conditions are contrary; opposition is worse under those same adverse conditions.
