The preceding table is designed to give the ages at which each subperiod ends. It is divided into two major sections, one for day births on the left and one for night births on the right. The first column contains the one or two planets that rule each subperiod. The column marked 'Years.' contains the number of years elapsed since birth, that is, the individual's age as each period ends. The column marked 'Day.' gives the number of days in addition to the years of the previous column.
To use the table, first ascertain whether the chart is a day or night chart. Then in the appropriate part of the table look for the lowest age in years and days that is greater than the native's age at a particular time. This indicates the native's age at the end of the period. The rulers of that subperiod are the firdar rulers at the time, the left one being the long-period ruler, the right one being the short-period ruler.
A Delineation of the Periods and Subperiods of the Firdar
The following is a complete set of delineations of
firdar from Schoener. We provide these as an illustration of how
these
periods were delineated in traditional astrology. The modern reader
is urged to read these passages impressionistically
rather than literally.
They are clearly intended for males of a rather high social class living in
a late medieval environment.
Also, while these delineations do take some
accidental conditions of the rulers into consideration, these delineations
are
largely based the general significations of the rulers, plus some
traditional 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 into Latin in the 12th Century by
the aforementioned Hugo and attributed to Aristotle.

The
Alfridary of the Sun
Table of Alfridaries
-
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 royal rearing, and his
parents will have much good, except that sad and serious things 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 nobles, will have praise and honor above all of his relatives, and wealth or riches; 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 signifies that he will rejoice with his comrades and his children; he will have good fortune, 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 will be sincere and loyal to his comrades, faithful and honored; he will escape from 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 for his
kin; he will have fortune and profit; he will be delighted by precious stones and he will receive gifts from kings wherever he may be; he will be honored, dignitaries 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 children, or his own parents will have these [good] fortunes and honor, or good will come to him and his parents. And if the Sun is not fortunate, the Sun's signification will be weakened. If an oriental planet shines its ray upon the Sun, it will give
great happiness to the native.
Table of Alfridaries
- Sun-Venus
- by day signifies that the native will be
increased in his vestments, and will love his parents and they will
esteem
him; he will be married if it is suitable and if there is
signification in a nativity that [the native] ought to marry; perhaps
he
will make a journey, or one of his relatives will take him on some
journey; an infirmity in a hidden part of his body will
happen to him.
However [in a nativity] 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 make 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 for the sake of
religion;
infirmities will happen to him in the private parts.
Table of Alfridaries
-
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 be 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 because of
false witnesses; he will fall from a height; he will have haemorrhoids
and
will recover from them.
Table of Alfridaries
- Sun-Moon.
- the native will do some
deed which will come back to him to his loss; he will experience 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 not pertain to him; much gain flows toward the native and his income
increases; he
will have profit in secret; he will concern himself with
commerce, perhaps maritime commerce, and he will be unfortunate
in these
matters; he will associate with nobles and men in high places; he will have
many friends and comrades; he will be
inclined toward agriculture and to
building; he will be afflicted by headache and perhaps a swelling [tumor]
in his head in
the last part of this division.
Table of Alfridaries
- Sun-Saturn.
-
There will happen to the native sadness and injuries because of the
fellowship of his house, illness in the
hidden part of his body, or
something in the left eye, 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 and dangers upon the waters. And
if
the nativity is nocturnal, he will have quarrels 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 stomach, but
he will easily evade these; he will
also take a long journey, and perhaps
involve himself in maritime trade; dangers and injuries will happen to him,
and injury
through water, or journeys over water, or he will suffer
prostration by water and fire because of the commixture of Saturn
with the
nature of the Sun.
Table of Alfridaries
-
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. But 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 utterly 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.
Table of Alfridaries
-
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 animal, 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 division. But if the nativity is nocturnal, the
native
will be changed from one state to another and from one magistery to
another; he will make journeys and will be
pained by various hardships; he
will do injustice to men and he will have quarrels with them; because of
this troubles will
happen to him, [as well as] the cut of a sword, the bite
of a dog or other animal; or he will be made infirm for a space of 9,
15, or 19 days, after which he will recover.
The
Alfridary of Venus
Table of Alfridaries
-
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 usually
feed many menservants and maidservants. But if the nativity is
diurnal, he
will have much joy and happiness and will rejoice with his wife; or he will
marry with a foreign woman; there
will be born to him a fortunate child; he
will have 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 seeding or planting; he will be
increased in his
substance, and perhaps he will amass 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.
Table of Alfridaries
- 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 that 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 illnesses in his body
because of bad food or digestion.
Table of Alfridaries
- Venus-Moon.
- The native
will be of good state; he will associated with men of high rank or

marry. And if the nativity is nocturnal, he
will go forth from his misery, and if he is still in misery, his situation
and his
business will begin to improve; he will have dominion over his
equals; he will gather money in which he will rejoice. And
if he does not
have a wife, he will then be married.
Table of Alfridaries

native will be quite wretched in this division and great troubles will
happen to him; he will enraged by
certain women and will also receive
trouble from women. 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; and he himself will become ill as well;
he will
have quarrels, strifes and contentions with his wife and perhaps she will
place horns on him; or if she is pregnant,
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.
Table of Alfridaries
- Venus-Jupiter.
- [If the
nativity is] by day, the native will be reared with royal rearing, but his
father will have good
dominion, and wealth; he will be changed from a bad
state, 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, riches, and lands. And if the native is
noble, he will increase
in nobility to the point where he may come to be like of a king, and he
will rule over cities and
lands. If with this, Venus is with the Dragon's
Head and Jupiter is in the Ascendant, the native will be a great
king,
crowned, and he will give rule to sea and
land.
Table of Alfridaries
- Venus-Mars.
- The native will have much misery; he
will do evil to his brothers; and perhaps he will be married; he

Table of Alfridaries
- 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 also modesty and
learning will increase; he will perhaps marry well with a

character. But if the nativity is nocturnal, he will be afflicted with a
great illness, and he will be healed of
it; he will be increased in
substance, servants , 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 united with a learned woman or to one who knows
how
to write. And if Venus or the Sun 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 division 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 secrets to
him.
The Alfridary of Mercury
Table of Alfridaries

- This signifies that the native will have prosperity in the first half of
this division and in the second evil
and hardships; he will go from one
country into another. And when he does something, because of his works and
because
of his own deeds, 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

diminished and made better.

abundance in eating and drinking; he will expose himself to dangers and

separate from her. And if he is not married and he
becomes betrothed in

a long illness or perhaps fall
from a height; and he will incur a great
danger of death.

trouble will happen 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 understanding will be damaged; and he
will
