The Four Pillars — Saju (사주) in Korea, Shichū Suimei in Japan. Not planetary at all: a sexagenary calendar whose only astronomy is the Sun crossing each fifteenth degree.
Horary · 28 Oct 2026 16:50. Purple Star astrology — Tử Vi in Vietnam. Twelve palaces and the stars placed in them by rule from the lunar month, day, hour and year.
Over one day the furthest-travelling body is Moon, moving 8.67°.
Considerations before judgement
None. The chart is fit to be judged.
Lilly's cautions: an Ascendant under 3° or over 27°, the Moon void of course or in the via combusta (15° Libra to 15° Scorpio), Saturn in the seventh or the first. They do not forbid judgement; they say to judge carefully.
Significators
The querent: Venus, ruler of the Ascendant, and the Moon at 12° Gem 45' in the 2nd. Each matter by the ruler of its house:
| House | Ruler | At | In | Dignity | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Venus | 27° Lib 54' | 6 | +7 | domicile, term, retrograde, combust |
| 2nd | Mercury | 19° Sco 27' | 7 | 0 | retrograde |
| 3rd | Moon | 12° Gem 45' | 2 | 0 | — |
| 4th | Moon | 12° Gem 45' | 2 | 0 | — |
| 5th | Sun | 05° Sco 29' | 7 | 0 | — |
| 6th | Mercury | 19° Sco 27' | 7 | 0 | retrograde |
| 7th | Mars | 17° Leo 03' | 5 | 0 | — |
| 8th | Jupiter | 23° Leo 56' | 5 | 0 | — |
| 9th | Saturn | 09° Ari 29' | 12 | -5 | fall, retrograde |
| 10th | Saturn | 09° Ari 29' | 12 | -5 | fall, retrograde |
| 11th | Saturn | 09° Ari 29' | 12 | -5 | fall, retrograde |
| 12th | Jupiter | 23° Leo 56' | 5 | 0 | — |
A day chart. Dignity by the five essential dignities (domicile 5, exaltation 4, triplicity 3, term 2, face 1; detriment and fall −5). The judgement — whether the significators apply by aspect, and in what order — is yours; this page lays the chart out the way Lilly did.

Two readings of the same degree: 26° Tau 58' is degrees and arcminutes, 26.967 is the same position in decimal degrees — the form Prima prints. 0.967 of a degree is 58 arcminutes, not 96.
