A Delineation of the Periods and Subperiods of the Firdar
The following is a complete set of delineations of firdar from Schoener. We prov
ide these as an illustration of how these periods were delineated in traditional
astrology. The modern reader is urged to read these passages impressionisticall
y rather than literally. They are clearly intended for males of a rather high so
cial class living in a late medieval environment. Also, while these delineations
do take some accidental conditions of the rulers into consideration, these deli
neations are largely based the general significations of the rulers plus some tr
aditional elements associated with these rulers which are not easily deriveable
from the planets core meanings themselves. We do not know the ultimate source of
these interpretations, but we have found similar ones in the Liber Aristotilis
of one Hugo of Santalla, a pastiche of Arabic and Persian material translated in
to Latin in the 12th Century by the aforementioned Hugo and attributed to Aristo
tle.
[1.1] Sun-Sun
The alfridary of the Sun in a diurnal geniture governing the life of the native
proclaims that the one so born is reared very well, indeed with an honored and r
oyal rearing, and his parents will have much good, except that sad and serious t
hings happen to them in the first and second month, but yet this will be removed
and will turn back to happiness and joy.
By night however this signifies that the native will have good from kings and no
bles, will have praise and honor above all of his relatives, and wealth or riche
s; happiness and joys increase.
But if the alfridary of the Sun happens in his old age, because it can happen in
one's old age in a diurnal nativity after one passes 75 years of age, it signif
ies that he will rejoice with his comrades and his children; he will have good f
ortune, a full life, and quiet.
And if the Sun in the radix is in its exaltation, or in the terms of Jupiter or
Venus, and he has significations of fortune in the radix, it signifies that he w
ill be sincere and loyal to his comrades, faithful and honored; he will escape f
rom troubles and quarrels; he will grow in understanding, modesty, and intellect
; he will give others good counsel; and men in their dealings or in their causes
will seek counsel from him, and his words will be heeded and accepted; he will
have the power of giving rules in his city or family, and he will do much good f
or his kin; he will have fortune and profit; he will be delighted by precious st
ones and he will gifts from kings wherever he may be; he will be honored, dignit
aries will esteem him, and he will associated with noble men; he will have some
dominion over lands; he will plant trees; or he will be married and have childre
n, or his own parents will have these (good) fortunes and honor, or good will co
me to him and his parents. And if the Sun is not fortunate, the Sun's significat
ion will be weakened. If an oriental planet shines its ray upon the Sun, it will
give great happiness to the native.
[1.4] Sun-Venus
by day signifies that the native will be increased in his vestments, and will lo
ve his parents and they will esteem him; he will be married if it is suitable an
d if there is signification in a nativity that (the native) ought to marry; perh
aps he will make a journey, or one of his relatives will take him on some journe
y; an infirmity in a hidden part of his body will happen to him. However (in a n
ativity) by night it signifies that he will escape from trouble, if he has any;
he will be increased in riches, will rejoice in his wife and children; he will m
ake beautiful things, or he will buy hereditary properties; he will do good and
give alms to the poor; he will make profitable journeys and be honored perhaps f
or the sake of religion; infirmities will happen to him in the private parts.
[1.3] Sun-Mercury
The native will concern himself with various business; one of his relatives will
make evil and trouble for him; he will fall from a height or a horse; he will b
e afflicted by stomach ache, but will quickly recover; sadness and hardship will
happen to him; he will lose in revenue and his wealth will diminish. But if the
nativity is nocturnal, the native will have much loss; he will have lawsuits be
cause of false witnesses; he will fall from a height; he will have haemorrhoids
and will recover from them.
[1.2] Sun-Moon
the native will do some deed which will come back to him to his loss; he will ex
perience losses in his business from theft and robbery; he will dwell in watery
and moist places, or he will journey over water; he will have infirmities in his
eyes and head. And if the nativity is nocturnal, the native will expose himself
to dangers and to things which are not necessary for him (to do) and which do n
ot pertain to him; much gain flows toward the native and his income increases; h
e will have profit in secret; he will concern himself with commerce, perhaps mar
itime commerce, and he will be unfortunate in these matters; he will associate w
ith nobles and men in high places; he will have many friends and comrades; he wi
ll be inclined toward agriculture and to building; he will be afflicted by heada
che and perhaps a swelling (tumor) in his head in the last part of this division
.
[1.7] Sun-Saturn
There will happen to the native sadness and injuries because of the fellowship o
f his house, illness in the hidden part of his body, or something in the left ey
e, or impediments through fire or hot water; but the native will escape from all
of these dangers; he will make long journeys and troubles will happen to him an
d dangers upon the waters. And if the nativity is nocturnal, he will have quarre
ls because of the fellowship of his house, or with them; he will have an illness
in the eyes or an inflammation of the eyes, and illnesses and pains in the stom
ach, but he will easily evade these; he will also take a long journey, and perha
ps involve himself in maritime trade; dangers and injuries will happen to him, a
nd injury through water, or journeys over water, or he will suffer prostration b
y water and fire because of the commixture of Saturn with the nature of the Sun.
[1.6] Sun-Jupiter
The native will be increased in health, riches and vestments; his relatives will
esteem him and will do good for him; but he will perhaps fall from a height. Bu
t if the nativity is nocturnal, his power will grow in worth, strength, nobility
and fortune; he will have dominion and victory over his enemies, and he will ut
terly destroy them; he will involve himself in agriculture; wealth will come to
him without effort. But near the end of this division he will fall from a height
or from a horse.
[1.5] Sun-Mars
He will be changed from one state to another; he will go on journeys and perhaps
marry; trouble will come to him from the bite of a dog or the stroke of an anim
al, or from a fall or a blow because of which blood will flow from his body. And
it will be worse in this signification in the first four months of this divisio
n. But if the nativity is nocturnal, the native will be changed from one state t
o another and from one magistery to another; he will make journeys and will be p
ained by various hardships; he will do injustice to men and he will have quarrel
s with them; because of this troubles will happen to him, (as well as) the cut o
f a sword, the bite of a dog or other animal; or he will be made infirm for a sp
ace of 9, 15, or 19 days, after which he will recover.
[4.4] Venus-Venus
The alfridary of Venus proclaims that the native will be inclined toward joy and
happiness; profit will flow toward him and perhaps he will marry; and he will u
sually feed many menservants and maidservants. But if the nativity is diurnal, h
e will have much joy and happiness and will rejoice with his wife; or he will ma
rry with a foreign woman; there will be born to him a fortunate child; he will h
ave his daughter betrothed, or another woman from among his dependents; he will
join with a woman, or join a maidservant with a man; he will be involved in seed
ing or planting; he will be increased in his substance, and perhaps he will amas
s treasure; he will conquer his enemies, and he will have friendship with nobles
, great dignity, honor from kings, and precious vestments. And Hermes says that
the first five months and twenty days of this division are evil.
[4.3] Venus-Mercury
This interval of time signifies that there will be taken from him (something) of
his substance and he will lose it; harm will come to him; he will make journeys
; he will be shifted from one place to another land, lest trouble happen to him;
he will become ill. But if his nativity is nocturnal, he will spend much of tha
t which he had managed; he will be overcome by his enemies, they will tread him
under foot, and he will flee from them; many troubles will happen to him, and il
lnesses in his body because of bad food or digestion.
[4.2] Venus-Moon
The native will be of good state; he will associated with men of high rank or po
werful; and by chance he will marry. And if the nativity is nocturnal, he will g
o forth from his misery, and if he is still in misery, his situation and his bus
iness will begin to improve; he will have dominion over his equals; he will gath
er money in which he will rejoice. And if he does not have a wife, he will then
be married.
[4.7] Venus-Saturn
The native will be quite wretched in this division and great troubles will happe
n to him; he will enraged by certain women and will also receive trouble from wo
men. But if the nativity is nocturnal, he will also have many griefs, hardships,
and trouble in life; his wife will die or be made infirm by a grave illness; an
d he himself will become ill as well; he will have quarrels, strifes and content
ions with his wife and perhaps she will place horns on him; or if she is pregnan
t, she will abort and because of that she may perhaps die; and he will copulate
with a second woman, a whore, or a serving maid, or he will impregnate such; he
will do evil to his children and to strangers; and his first wife will not stay
with him for long, or she will be ill.
[4.6] Venus-Jupiter
(If the nativity is) by day, the native will be reared with royal rearing, but h
is father will have good dominion, and wealth; he will be changed from a bad sta
te, and if there was sadness in the previous situation, to good fame; if he was
a pauper, he will quickly become wealthy because he will gain in substance, rich
es, and lands. And if the native is noble, he will increase in nobility to the p
oint where he may come to be like of a king, and he will rule over cities and la
nds. If with this, Venus is with the Dragon's Head and Jupiter is in the Ascenda
nt, the native will be a great king, crowned, and he will give rule to sea and l
and.
[4.5] Venus-Mars
The native will have much misery; he will do evil to his brothers; and perhaps h
e will be married; he will associate with men of high station and powerful. And
if the nativity is nocturnal, his miseries will be multiplied; he will do evil t
o others; his brothers, or his comrades will fare badly becuase of him; he will
delight on account of women; he will be associated with powerful men; he will pu
rsue great fame; he will have a relationship with a woman of great lineage or he
will be well married with her; however grave things will happen to him because
of women; he will have some dominion over his estate.
[4.1] Venus-Sun
The native will be afflicted with great illness, and he will recover from it; he
will be associated with noble, powerful men; his wealth, and vestments, but als
o modesty and learning will increase; he will perhaps marry well with a woman of
good character. But if the nativity is nocturnal, he will be afflicted with a g
reat illness, and he will be healed of it; he will be increased in substance, se
rvants , women and associations; he will put on regal, silken vestments; he will
enter the houses of kings; he will tread his enemies under foot; he will be uni
ted with a learned woman or to one who knows how to write. And if Venus or the S
un in this division is the moderator of the year, and is in a good state, there
will be a better signification in nobility, and power; he will be happy, and the
victor over his adversaries; he will receive many gifts. And if Venus in this d
ivision is in any of the angles, in good state, his gains and advantages will be
multiplied; he will be associated with kings and they will entrust their secret
s to him.
[3.3] Mercury-Mercury
This signifies that the native will have prosperity in the first half of this di
vision and in the second evil and hardships; he will go from one country into an
other. And when he does something, because of his works and because of his own d
eeds, harm happens to him, all of his words, his statements are turned to harm;
some of his comrades will die or some of his beasts; he will become ill and have
modest success from medicines and drugs. And if with this Saturn is in an evil
state and aspects Mercury with an evil aspect, and is unfortunate by house, he w
ill die in that year; however if Mercury is in a good state, the harm which we h
ave described is diminished and made better.
[3.2] Mercury-Moon
There will be abundance in eating and drinking; he will expose himself to danger
s and injuries, and if he buys a manservant, the servant will flee or similarly
with maids in waiting and serving women; and if he begins to build, he will not
complete it. And if he is married, the wife will die, or he will separate from h
er. And if he is not married and he becomes betrothed in this division, the marr
iage will not be completed; he will be afflicted by a long illness or perhaps fa
ll from a height; and he will incur a great danger of death.
[3.7] Mercury-Saturn
The native's substance will increase, but he will not have more to eat or drink
because of it; he will do good for someone, afterward it will be stolen from him
by thieves; the native will become poor; he will have few friends; his wife wil
l die; he will go from one country to another; troubles and hardships willhappen
to him on his journeys.
[3.6] Mercury-Jupiter
His substance will be increased from diverse countries; he will associate with t

is adversaries; he will make a long journey. And if he involves himself in comme
rce, he will be ruined in this. If he lays out money of his own with another of
his fellowship, that comrade will do to him betrayal and fraud; trouble will hap
pen to him through imprisonment, the impediment of fire or through something hot
; he will fall from a height, or as if (from a height), or he will be afflicted
by a long illness or because of this his physical constitution and his understan
ding will be damaged; and he will recover. And if in this time he will marry, hi
s wife will die in this year, or will come almost to death. And if his parents a
re alive, his mother will die and his father will be arrested; or the gravest di
fficulties will happen to him.
[3.1] Mercury-Sun
Each day the native's merriment, joy, profits and his vigor will be increased; a

afterwards he will descend from that degree and revert to a modest time; and in

rom the sword, or that which is similar to one, or prison. And if the nativity i
s nocturnal and the Moon in an evil state, illness and injuries will happen to h
im; his parents will shun him. And if the Moon is in a good state, it signifies

m from one place to another; he will go on journeys, and an injury will happen t
o him on the journey; and some of his servants will do evil to him and things wi

ed by a grave illness so that he comes to danger of death; he will have an illne

every trouble to every good and happiness; his fortune and his wealth will incr
