Yes-unless you check the box indicating "day formula only", they calculate relative to day or night; in the Lot calculator (Arabic Parts Calculator site) however, you must put the formula in yourself (for all the Lots), ie, you must adjust for day or night placement.

I wonder if my computer program takes that into account. You would think that they would automatically account for that because you enter a birth time to erect the chart in the first place...

Traditionally, the fourth house is assigned to the father and is ruled:

- Sun - by day
- Saturn - by night

The 10th house is assigned to the mother and is ruled:

- Venus - by day
- Moon - by night

The assignment of the Moon ruling the fourth house, (and the mother), is a recent invention by modern astrologers who decided to use "natural rulers" of the houses.

I personally use the fourth house for the "dominant" parent who had the most influence.

Maybe that's why I was originally taught that it changes according to the native.
