flashes

of insight. A fire person will study something for a long time without

comprehending it, and then the significance will become clear in an

instant.

They tend to be involved with abstractions and, often in an effort to

depth and compassion for others. Water people get information from

emotionally

toned perceptions that may come through the senses, they perceive by

means of

feelings. They perceive in a very personal way, and are less concerned

with

More On Houses

Fire Houses (life or personal houses)

People with many planets in these houses are inspirational and dynamic.

They

have great energy and enthusiasm, motivating power and religious

convictions.

Earth Houses (substance or possessive houses)

People with many planets in these houses are stable and usually are the

backbone of their communities and families. Their outlooks andvocational

aptitudes are concrete and practical.

Air Houses (relationships or relative houses)

People with many planets in these houses are the "people who need

people".

These house placements all describe the individual in relation to other

members of the community.

Water Houses (endings or terminal houses)

People with many planets in these houses are sensitive and feeling,

they are

the psychoanalysts and religious figures. These houses describe theinner most

soul, and the probable way that they will leave this earth. Not when,

just how

Angular Houses (corresponds to cardinal) 1, 4, 7 and 10

Planets in these houses have great potential for dynamic action and

their

influences are intensified. The 1st house represents independence or no

relationship. The 4th represents dependence, or the relationship of one

needing care to those who provide it. The 7th represents

interdependence, or

the relationship between equals. The 10th represents dominance or the

relationship between one in authority and those who are subordinate. The

relationships of these houses are not necessarily social relationships,as

they signify the four main orientations between oneself and anything.

Succedent Houses (corresponds to fixed) 2, 5, 8 and 11

Planets in these houses are not as powerful, but, just like the fixed

signs,

they give stability and purpose. They are also financial houses and

often


22/35

described as houses of resources. Planets in these houses have a

stabilizing

influence and the planetary energies in these houses are not usually

major

sources of crisis.

Cadent Houses (corresponds to mutable) 3, 6, 9 and 12

These houses do not have as much opportunity for action as the angular

houses,

nor do they confer great stability like the fixed houses, but they are

adaptable and get along well with others. They are to as the mental

houses.

The 3rd house signifies the minds routine, daily process. The 9th

house is

straining outward to comprehend the world. The 12th house is the fears

and

phobias (among other things) that may condition its responses. Houses 6

and 12

seem to be critical, in that planets in these houses represent issues

in life

that must be handled well if they are not to become major sources ofdifficulty.

General Guidelines for Aspecting

Keep these general rules in mind when you analyze a horoscope for

aspects.

1. Each sign has thirty degrees in it, from 0 degrees to 29 degrees.

2. Aspects are always figured by counting signs, not houses, otherwise

you

might overlook a sign that is intercepted in a house. Just because a

sign isnot on a cusp does not mean that it is not there. It is, and it has

thirty

degrees just like any other sign. If the first house cusp is in Cancer

and the

second house cusp is in Virgo, the sign Leo is intercepted in the first

house.

Each house does not necessarily contain thirty degrees.

3. When a planet is exalted or dignified it can integrate well and can

handle

all aspects in a more positive manner.

4. Check for out of sign aspects; these occur when a planet is at the

verybeginning or end of a sign. For example: Jupiter at 40 degrees Leo

square

Saturn at 28 degrees Aries.

5. An applying aspect (gaining in light) is stronger than a waning

aspect

(decreasing in light). The applying aspect shows something you are

working


23/35

towards; the waning aspect shows something that has been recently

learned.

6. Aspects to the Sun are the root, seed and plant of the character.

Basic

character is formed by the most exact aspects in the horoscope. Aspects

show

tendencies, abilities and disabilities, rather than attainment. In other

words, the natal chart shows your potential, but your free will

dictates how

much or how little you do with it.

Remember

1. The most important angles are the ones made to the Ascendant and the

Midheaven

2. Planets in strong close aspect to an angle, which are the four points

dividing the chart (especially those in square to it).

3. Planets in angular houses 1, 4, 7, 10 are stronger

4. When a negative sign rises, the mother gives the greater impression

When a

positive sign rises, the father gives the greater impression.5. Significators are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven

Astrological Terminology

ASCENDANT = also called rising sign

ACTIVE SIGNS = also called masculine or odd signs

ANGULAR HOUSES = are also called angles or axes, correspond to

Cardinal

Signs they are 1, 4, 7, 10

ASCENDING PLANETS = those between the 4th house and the 9th house

APOGEE = the point in an orbit where the orbiting body is farthest from

the

Earth

BENEFIC PLANET = a beneficial planet. In horary, these are

traditionally Venus

(the lesser benefic) and Jupiter (the greater benefic). In addition,

the Part

of Fortune as well as several fixed stars, most notably Regulus and

Spica are

considered benefic

BESTIAL SIGNS = a traditional division of the signs which appears tocarry no

practical application in modern delineation. Aries, Taurus, Leo,

Sagittarius,

and Capricorn, are bestial signs because these represent four-footed

creatures

BICORPOREAL SIGNS = also called Double-Bodied Signs. Gemini,

Sagittarius,


24/35

Pisces. Originally Ptolemy referred to all of the mutable signs as being

bicorporeal and so Virgo was included

BITTER SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Fire Signs

BLUE MOON = the expression refers to a relatively rare month in which

two Full

Moons occur, one at the beginning and one at the end of the month

BOREAL SIGNS = an archaic term referring to the Northern Signs Aries

through

Virgo

CADENT HOUSES = correspond to Mutable Signs they are 3, 6, 9, 12

COLLECTION OF LIGHT = when the two main significators have already

separated

from each other but each applies by major aspect to a third planet,

this third

planet can act as a transmitter and collect their lights bringing them

backinto aspect again. Whether the planets apply by direct or retrograde

motion to

the transmitting planet is of no importance. Furthermore, the

transmitting

planet is able to collect more than one pair of significators provided

they

are within the moiety of orbs. Although the outer planets are never

used as

main significators they can act as collectors of light

COMBUSTION = when the Sun is within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a

planet,

especially when it is not a significator, either applying or

separating, it

combusts that planet and renders it powerless. Combustion can occur

either in

or out of sign as it is the Sun's moiety of orbs that is the deciding

factor.

Combustion has always been regarded as highly malefic in horary. When

the Sun

is conjunct the ruler of the ascendant it will result in negative

answers.

Combustion may occur as a result of collection or translation of light

where

planets are either separating or applying to combustion. Combustion

can also

occur when planets are within 8 degrees and 30 minutes of a parallel ofthe

Sun, especially when applying and the Sun is not a significator in the

question. This condition will also occur when a planet is conjunct the

Sun's

antiscion point. When the Sun is conjunct the ascendant degree either

separating or applying it can render the horary invalid. In other

words, there

is no way of telling the outcome to the question


25/35

CONTRA-PARALLEL = two planets possessing the same degree of

declination, one

in the north and one in the south

CO-SIGNIFICATOR = along with the significator which is the ruling

planet,

Lord, or ruling sign, in horary astrology the co-significator refers

additionally to a traditional planet or sign that relates to the matter

under

consideration because of certain astrological rulerships or associations

CULMINATION = 1. the arrival of a planet at the Midheaven (M.C., upper

meridian). Sometimes called "southing." 2. Culmination also refers to

the

perfection of an aspect

DEBILITY = a weakening of a planet because of its placement in certain

signs

and houses which are considered to be incompatible with the energy or

characteristics of the planet. A planet is said to be debilitated when

adversely aspected, in the sign of its detriment or fall, or in acadent house

DECANATE (Decan) = each sign of the zodiac occupies 30 degrees. Every

sign is

further sub-divided into 10 degree segments called Decanates ruled by

the

three signs of the same element. Thus, while all three decanates are

first and

foremost Arian/Martian in quality, the first decanate of Aries is the

strongest because it is also sub-ruled by Aries, the second decanate is

sub-ruled by Leo and therefore takes on an additional Leonine/Sun

flavor,

while the third decanate of Aries is sub-ruled by Sagittarius, taking

on a

Sagittarian/Jupiter flavor. There is a Chaldean division of each sign

into

three 10-degree faces ruled by the seven classical planets in Chaldean

order

starting with Mars ruling the first Face of Aries

DETRIMENT = a sign opposite the one ruled by a planet. For example, the

detriment of the Moon is Capricorn because the Moon rules the opposite

sign

Cancer. Being in detriment weakens a planet and is a debility. A person

represented by a planet in detriment may feel out-classed or be

obligated to

work, and in general will function at a disadvantage

DEXTER ASPECT = dexter means "on the right-hand side." A dexter aspect

is one

in which the faster planet is waxing, or increasing in light, with

respect to

the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to the

right

(dexter) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet lies on

the


26/35

right side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. Lilly

says, "Dexter Aspects are contrary to the succession of Signs;" that

is, the

rays of the faster planet flow clockwise around the wheel to reach the

slower

planet as viewed from the Earth. If planets are direct in motion, a

dexter

aspect forms as a result of increasing angular distance between them so

that

the planets are moving toward an eventual opposition

DIGNITY = a condition which strengthens a planet's influence. Dignity

may be

essential due to an affinity or sympathy of a planet with a particular

region

of the zodiac, or accidental due to house position, planetary motion,

favorable aspects, etc. For example, if Mars is in Aries it is said to

be

dignified. If Mars is in the 1st House it is said to be accidentally

dignified

DIRECT MOTION = eastward movement of a planet in the order of the

zodiac signs

from Aries to Taurus to Gemini, etc. Retrograde motion is opposite to

direct

motion

DISPOSITOR = the planet that rules the sign or dignity another planet

occupies. For example, if Mars is in Libra, the dispositor of Mars is

Venus.

In addition, a planet can Dispose (Receive) another planet through any

of its

essential Ptolemaic dignities. Thus, the Sun will dispose by exaltation

any

planet in Aries because the Sun is exalted in Aries

DIURNAL CHART = a reference to a chart where the Sun is in houses 7

through

12, when the individual is born during the daylight hours

ECLIPTIC = the path through the heavens that all the planets appear to

follow

ELEMENT = also called triplicity and are fire, earth, air and

water,

they share certain common characteristics

EQUATOR = also called the horizon is the horizontal axis of thehoroscope

and refers to consciousness

EARTH SIGNS = the three signs in the Earth element are Taurus, Virgo and

Capricorn. Earth signs are considered practical, in touch with the

physical

world and having the strength of persistence and endurance


27/35

EGRESS = astrologically, the point at which a planetary body, or

luminary,

leaves a sign

ELECTIONAL CHART = a horoscope chart cast to determine the best time to

take

action. Electional astrology is the reverse application of horary

procedures

ELEVATION = the angular distance of a body above the horizon. An

elevated

planet in a natal chart is generally at the top of the chart near the

10th

House. Elevated planets are said to exert a strong influence on a chart

EQUAL HOUSE SYSTEM = a house system in which all houses are equal in

width.

Someone born with 5 Leo on the Ascendant would then have each House

cusp at 5

degrees of the succeeding sign; therefore their 2nd House cusp would be

at 5Virgo, the 3rd House cusp at 5 Libra etc

EQUINOX = the two points in the year when the length of the day is

equal to

the length of the night

EXALTATION = a sign in which a planet functions well. A form of

essential

dignity. Exaltation is next in power to dignity by ruling sign

FEMININE SIGNS = also called passive or even signs* are the Earth

and

Water signs, (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces).

Feminine

signs are said to be more receptive and introverted

FRUITFUL SIGNS = Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. They are known as the

generators

of life atoms

FORTUNATE SIGNS = Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius.

Are

considered most fortunate when on the ascendant, because they are of

positive

and have greater power naturally to cope

FIRST NATAL PLANET TO RISE = the first planet counter-clockwise from theAscendant

FRUSTRATION = when two significators apply by major aspect to each

other but

before perfecting the slower of the two, the planet doing the

frustrating,

aspects a third planet therefore frustrating the faster significator and

leading to a "no" or negative answer to the question. Although the

three


28/35

outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be

involved in

frustration. This is the first of two rules where inhibiting planets

have the

power to prevent major aspects from perfecting between significators

even

though they are within the moiety of their orbs at the time of the

question

FALL = a sign opposite the one in which a planet is exalted. A

significator in

its fall may indicate an unfortunate, helpless, insolvent, or cruel

person. A

planet in its fall may literally refer to a person who has fallen, been

disgraced, or suffered some kind of limitation. In charts about a

missing

object, it may have fallen down from where it was originally

FERTILE SIGNS = sometimes called fruitful signs; they are Cancer

Scorpio and

Pisces. These signs are said to be productive. When the Moon is inthese water

signs it is said to be a good time for planting

GEOCENTRIC = the Earth (geo) centered (centric) view of the solar

system. The

way the heavens appear from point of view Earth. Also, any measurement

taken

from the center of the Earth

HOROSCOPE = means hour pointer

HELIOCENTRIC = when taking the Sun as the center

HARMONIOUS ASPECTS = also called flowing, pacifying, mollifying

and easy

HORARY = the branch of astrology in which a chart is cast for the time

that a

question is asked in order to determine the answer to that question

IC = called imum coeli meaning the lowest heavens

INHARMONIOUS ASPECTS = also called challenging, tension

producing, stimulating, irritating and hard

INFERIOR PLANETS = Moon, Venus and Mercury. Called this because they are

inferior in size and influence

KOCH HOUSE SYSTEM = a modern intersection house system yielding similar

results to the Placidus system

LUNAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a Full Moon, when the Sun and

Moon are

in opposition

LUNAR RETURNS = lasts for 28 daysSolar returns for 1 year


29/35

LONG ASCENSION = are signs that take longer to pass over the ascendant.

The

signs of long ascension are 00 Cancer through 29 Sagittarius

LILITH = often considered a small or 'dark' moon or asteroid, Lilith is

a

recent addition to astrology and research seems to show that it may be

variously associated with conflict resolution, self hatred in women,

related

to power and control issues, repression and misogyny

LUNATION = a complete cycle between two new moons, also referred to as a

synodic month. Lunations average 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.7

seconds.

The term Lunation is also sometimes used interchangeably with new moon

MIDHEAVEN = also called medium coeli meaning the middle of the heavens

MERIDIAN = is the vertical axis of the horoscope and refers to power

MASCULINE SIGNS = in one of many classifications of the signs of the

zodiac,

they are divided into masculine or feminine. Masculine signs are the

Fire and

Air signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. These

are

said to be more extroverted and active than the Feminine signs

MEAN MOTION = the mean or average daily motion of the planets is a

measure of

their average speed in degrees and minutes per day over the course of

several

years. The mean or average daily motion should not be confused with the

mean

or average value of the fastest and slowest possible speeds of the

planets

MIDPOINTS = a point half way between two other points. In astrology it

is the

halfway point between two planets or sensitive points in the chart, and

indicates a place where their combined energies are strong. If a third

planet

or sensitive point is close to or in hard aspect to a midpoint this

adds to

its significance in the chart

MUNDANE ASTROLOGY = the astrology of world affairs

MUTUAL RECEPTION = this occurs when two planets receive each other in

one of

their essential dignities. For example, Mars in Gemini and Mercury in

Aries

are in mutual reception because Mars rules Aries and Mercury rules

Gemini.

Mutual reception by ruling sign is the strongest. In order of strength,

there


30/35

can be reception by sign, exaltation, triplicity, term, or face. There

are

also mixed mutual receptions, as when planet A is in the terms of B

while

planet B is in the exaltation of A

MUTABLE SIGNS = qualities are a division of the signs of the zodiac

into three

areas Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. The four Mutable signs are Gemini,

Virgo

Sagittarius and Pisces. Mutable signs are said to be more adaptable and

flexible but can also be too changeable or easily swayed

NATAL CHARTS = also called radical and nativity charts

NORTHERN SIGNS = Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo. These

signs in

natural position constitute the northern portion of the zodiac

OCCIDENTAL = term applying to the western portion of the chart and a

planethere is descending or setting. Planets in the 10th to the 4th house

cusp are

occidental

ORIENTAL = refers to the eastern portion of the chart, any planet placed

between the 4th house and the cusp of the 10th is oriental

PLANETARY RULER = the planet that is harmonious in temperament with the

sign

it rules

PROHIBITION = a "no" or negative answer will result when two

significators are

applying by major aspect to each other but before perfecting, the first

receives a major aspect from a third faster planet such as Mercury or

Venus

which then in turn applies by major aspect to the second significator.

This is

the traditional description of prohibition. Nevertheless, if any planet

applies to one of the significators before they perfect their aspect,

this

will also function as a prohibition and will produce a negative answer

to the

question. This rule is the second example of an inhibiting planet in

action.

Although the three outer planets are never used as main significators,

theycan be involved in prohibition. These kind of prohibitions can in no way

effect aspects or other rules involving the Moon and main significators.

Prohibition involving the outer planets does not necessarily mean a

"no" or

negative answer

PONDERABLE PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. Called this

because


31/35

they move slower than the others, requiring more time to complete their

cycle

and their influences are therefore slower to manifest

PEREGRINE = foreign, alien. Said of a planet posited in a sign where it

possesses no essential dignity; where it is neither dignified nor

debilitated

and appears to operate almost independently of other planets. It is

employed

in Horary Astrology where it is usually reckoned as a debility. In a

question

of a theft, a peregrine planet at an angle or in the second house is the

thief. However, no planet is considered to be peregrine if it is in

mutual

reception with another. Has come into more modern usage referring to a

planet

which is unaspected

PERIGEE = the point where two celestial bodies are as close as they can

get to

each other in their orbits, i.e., when the Earth and Moon are as closeas they

can get, the Moon is at Perigee to Earth

PRIME MERIDIAN = the Meridian that passes through the zenith, north,

nadir,

and south points of Greenwich, England's Horizon from which both time

and

Earth's longitude is measured

QUALITY = also called quadruplicities, these have certain qualities in

common, these are cardinal, fixed, mutable

QUERANT = in horary astrology, the individual asking the question is

referred

to as the querent

QUESITED = in horary astrology the quesited is the person, event or

thing that

is the subject of the question being asked

REFRANATION = perfection is denied when one significator applying by

major

aspect to the other significator turns either stationary retrograde or

direct

before completing the aspect. Although the three outer planets are

never used

as main significators, they can be involved in Refranation. This doesnot

necessarily mean a "no" or negative answer

RIGHT ASCENSION = the east and west measurement of a celestial body

along the

Celestial Equator. To plot a celestial body on the Celestial Equator,

the

declination is needed as well


32/35

SUCCEDENT HOUSES = correspond to fixed signs they are 2, 5, 8, 11

SATURN CHASING THE MOON = when the Moon and Saturn are in conjunction

and the

transiting speed of Saturn continues to equal that of the Moon

SIGNIFICATORS = are the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven

SOLAR ECLIPSE = happens at the time of a New Moon, when the Sun and

Moon are

conjunct

SHORT ASCENSION = signs that take a shorter period of time to pass over

the

ascendant. The signs of short ascension are from 00 Capricorn through

29 Gemini

SOUTHERN SIGNS = Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and

Pisces.

When placed in their natural positions are found to be south of the

equator inthe southern half of the chart

STRONG SIGNS = Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Aquarius. This term is

used for

the reason that these signs rising, gives the native a large muscular or

athletic frame

SUPERIOR PLANETS = Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Called

this

because they are superior to the Earth and beyond it from the Sun

SIDEREAL PERIOD = the amount of time expressed in Earth years that it

takes a

celestial body to make one complete orbit around the Sun

SIGNIFICATOR = a planet symbolizing a person or matter related to the

horary

question. The main significator is the planet ruling the cusp of the

relevant

house. Co-significators include the Moon for the querent and any

planets in

the house in question, or the planet ruling a sign intercepted in the

relevant

house. Some planets are natural significators, as Venus in questions of

relationship, and Saturn in matters of obstruction, etc.

SINISTER ASPECT = sinister means "on the left-hand side." A sinisteraspect is

one in which the faster planet is waning, or decreasing in light with

respect

to the slower one. The faster (applying) planet is casting its rays to

the

left (sinister) to form the aspect because the more ponderous planet

lies on

the left side of the applying planet as viewed from the Earth. With

sinister


33/35

aspects, the rays of the faster planet flow counterclockwise around the

wheel

to reach the slower planet. If planets are direct in motion, a sinister

aspect

forms as a result of decreasing angular distance between them so that

the

planets are moving toward an eventual conjunction

SUMMER SOLSTICE = cardinal point in the zodiac 00 Cancer. The point on

the

Ecliptic that is farthest north of the Celestial Equator. The Sun

reaches the

Tropic of Cancer, and the northern hemisphere experiences the longest

daylight

hours

SYNASTRY = the comparison between the interaction of two or more

charts, this

is a popular technique for evaluating romantic relationships but can

also be

used for partnership ventures or parent-child relationships

TRANSLATION OF LIGHT = this occurs when a transiting planet is

separating from

an aspect with one planet while simultaneously applying an aspect to

another

planet. The idea is that the transiting planet briefly connects the

other two

planets, imparting the influence (the light) from one to the other

TROPICAL ZODIAC = the zodiacal view based on correspondence with the

seasons

of four cardinal points along the Ecliptic; beginning at 00 Aries at the

Vernal Equinox. Sometimes referred to as "Moving Zodiac." The difference

between the Sidereal and Tropical Zodiac is a result of the precession

of

equinoxes

UNDER THE SUNBEAMS = between 8.5 degrees and 17 degrees from the Sun.

This is

a mild accidental debility. Greater than the moiety but less than the

orb from

the Sun's center. The origin of this concept may be the heliacal rising

of the

Moon which is obscured by the Sun's light until it is 17 degrees away

from the

Sun. Jonathan Clark added, "Although instructions for celebrating the

New Mooneach month are contained in the Old Testament, there was traditionally a

second celebration which occurred a couple of days later at the time

that the

moon could actually be seen for the first time; at the time of the New

Moon it

was, of course, invisible

URANIAN ASTROLOGY = sometimes referred to as the Hamburg School of

Astrology,


34/35

established in the early 20th century. It relies on hard aspects and

midpoints

and uses eight hypothetical planets in analyses

VOICE SIGNS = Gemini, Libra, the last part of Virgo and the first part

of

Sagittarius. When any of these signs are found on the ascendant or the

1st

house and Mercury and the Moon are strong and unafflicted, the native

will be

a good speaker

VOID OF COURSE MOON = the Moon is void of course when it cannot apply

within

the moiety of orbs to other planets. It cannot therefore: a. Apply or

move

towards another planet by major aspect. b. Apply or move towards the

parallel

or contraparallel of another planet. c. Apply or move towards the

antiscion

or contrantiscion degree of another planet. The Moon is not void ofcourse if

it applies to the ascendant degree within the moiety of its own orbs.

It is

not void if it applies to any of the outer planets within the moiety of

their

combined orbs. A void of course Moon may appear at the beginning,

middle or

end of a sign

VOID OF COURSE PLANET = a planet is Void of Course for that period in

which it

is devoid of major aspects (0, 60, 90, 120, 180 degree aspects) on its

course

through the zodiac. In the modern definition, the Moon or a planet is

void of

course if it makes no further Ptolemaic aspects before leaving its

current

sign. Also, the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are included

in the

modern definition

VERNAL EQUINOX = the first day of spring, the Sun enters the vernal

equinox in

the sign of Aries Cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Aries. The point

where the

Ecliptic meets the Celestial Equator in the east. When the Sun hits this

point, we have equal hours of day and night

VERTEX = the point in space where the Ecliptic meets the Prime Vertical

in the

west

VIA COMBUSTA = the region from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio

considered an ancient malefic tumultuous zone of the nature of Mars,

Saturn,

and now also Uranus. Used mostly in Horary astrology, the Moon here is a


35/35

consideration before judgment and traditionally may render the chart

not fit

to judge

WINTER SOLSTICE = cardinal point of the zodiac-00 Capricorn. The point

on the

Ecliptic that is farthest south from the Celestial Equator. The Sun

reaches

the Tropic of Capricorn, in the south, so they experience the longest

daylight

hours at this time
