Brightness of Venus signifies dense Atmosphere, rules an Air-sign.
Except that the Moon is actually moderately heating according to Ptolemy and modern scientists https://www.nytimes.com/1995/03/10/...-found-to-play-role-in-warming-the-earth.html
Leo is a solid fiery sign, no doubt, solstitial Cancer precedes it.

Yes, indeed - Taurus!
Solid, land-dwelling animal signifies Fixed-Earth.

Solid moisture and moderate heat = Air
Most temperaments in physics change from Air to Fire to Earth to Water to Air. The ecliptic, the four seasons, the four ages, the phase of the Moon and the phases of the three outer planets, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars all exhibit this natural change of power.
Occasionally, some movements produce backward change - Air to Water to Earth to Fire to Air. Only the phases of the two inner planets, Venus and Mercury, and the diurnal movement of the angles illustrate this awkward change.
You should never be able to see a change from Air to Earth, Fire to Water, or vice versa. This is because these elements contain two opposite qualities and have absolutely nothing in common. It can be clearly seen from the following observations.
Moon is moistening and moderately heating from new moon to first quarter
Moon is heating and moderately drying from first quarter to full moon
Moon is drying and moderately cooling from full moon to last quarter
Moon is cooling and moderately moistening from last quarter to new moon
Morning additive planets are moistening and moderately heating
Morning subtractive planets are heating and moderately drying
Evening subtractive planets are drying and moderately cooling
Evening additive planets are cooling and moderately moistening
Spring, First Age and Setting are moistening and moderately heating
Summer, Second Age and Midheaven are heating and moderately drying
Autumn, Third Age and Hour-Marker are drying and moderately cooling
Winter, Fourth Age and Anti-Midheaven are cooling and moderately moistening
Aries, Taurus and Gemini are moistening and moderately heating
Cancer, Leo and Virgo are heating and moderately drying
Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius are drying and moderately cooling
Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces are cooling and moderately moistening
You have a label or name for this pattern?

the angles illustrate this awkward change
Air is made of two active and fertile qualities that bring things together and increase them, Earth of two destructive and passive qualities that separate and decrease them. Fire and Water are common for they each possess one beneficent and one maleficent quality, though fire is slightly more beneficent than water because it abounds in greater active quality.
Fire is BlueThe Red Planet is color-coded: Rules a Fire-sign.
So, there IS proof that Morinus was tropical!
I call it Aristotle's alchemy.
