I have been doing some furthur reading into Horary technique and I have a couple of questions.
Im a little confused about the "lord of the hour" and "the lord of the asc".
Lilly recommends that a chart is fit to be judged if the lord of the hour and the lord of the asc are receptive. That is, they are in the same triplicity of nature.
Im not sure what the lord of the hour is. Am I right in assuming the the lord of the asc is the ruling planet of whatever sign is on the asc? So if Aries is on the asc then Mars is the lord of the asc? Is the lord of the hour the ruler of the sign that mars is in in the horary chart? For example, Mars in cancer would have the moon as the lord of the hour? Would this make the lord of the hour and the lord of the asc receptive as Mars rules the water triplicity in horary?
Also, regarding diurnal and nocturnal rulers. If the sun is in the southern hemisphere (as in below the horizon) in a chart then is the chart considered a nocturnal chart. If that is the case do we use nocturnal rulers for the whole chart or just those below the horizon.
Any assistence and enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
