Persian & Arabic astrology chart

Your chart in the tradition of Abu Ma'shar and al-Biruni: the firdaria periods, the lots (Arabic parts), the lord of the year and the dignities of each planet.

Your birth data

Day, month, year — e.g. 07/03/1987.

The lots, the houses and the sect need the exact birth time: the rising sign changes about every two hours.

What the Persian & Arabic chart shows

Persian and Arabic astrologers took over the Hellenistic chart and added their own time lords. The best known are the firdaria, planetary periods that cover 75 years of life, and the yearly lord combined with the solar return.

AstroSensus calculates the chart from the same tropical positions as its Western chart, with the same engine as its Hellenistic door, and names every convention it uses.

Questions about the traditional chart

What is Persian and Arabic astrology?

The astrology of the Sasanian Persians and of the scholars who wrote in Arabic from the 8th century, such as Masha'allah, Abu Ma'shar and al-Biruni. They received Hellenistic astrology and developed it further.

What are the firdaria?

Planetary periods of 75 years in total, described by Abu Ma'shar. In a day chart they start with the Sun, in a night chart with the Moon, and each planet's period is divided into seven sub-periods.

Why are the lots called Arabic parts?

Because medieval Europe learned them from Arabic texts. The lots themselves are older: Hellenistic astrologers already used them.

Where do the nodes go in a night chart?

AstroSensus puts them at the end of the sequence, after Mercury, as Abu Ma'shar does. Some later authors, such as Bonatti, placed them after Mars.
