Ive been reading Planetary sect by robert hand, the pdf you gave me a link to a little while ago.
I thought i understood it, but im now confused by something, ill give you an example, it won't allow me to copy/paste chart or txt, so ill have to explain the best i can.
You know what im referring to, as you left the link yesterday on another thread too, so you can refer back to it.
Referring to the chart on page 9, he says venus (starting on page 10) is in sect. But venus is a nocturnal planet in a night chart below the horizon, from what i thought i knew, venus should be above the horizon with the moon, so why is he saying venus is in sect here ? I don't get it, as venus in the chart is a nocturnal planet in a diurnal placement, so why is venus in sect ?
He goes on to say, venus is combust (yes) and in a diurnal sign (yes) i get this....but regarding "horizon" i don't.
He then goes on to say "mars a nocturnal planet is nocturnally placed"...well yes, mars is nocturnally placed, as its above the horizon with the moon, in a masculine sign and in the 10th house, so mars is indeed in hayz, i totally understand this.
So has he gone wrong with venus or am i understanding it wrongly ?
