So Frawley says
cadent house = fast
Mutable sign = medium
Fast signs are cardinal.
He says unless you get fast + fast or slow + slow, you get the medium time unit. So fast + medium = medium. We had mutable=medum and cadent=fast.
That is why I thought weeks. I went off of the days, weeks, months timeframe. Medium= weeks.
If the likely timeframe was hours, days, weeks, we would have gotten days. I didn't think hours was possible, therefore chose, days, weeks, months.
But... I think what actually happened here is my friends influence perfected this faster- she is the Sun, in a Cardinal sign and angular and strong. I think the antiscia perfected it. The Moon carried the light of the Sun by antiscia (even though antiscia is not really carrying technical light but is a "reflection")to Venus. The Moon is also conjunct the MC by anticsia.
