Term Type

There are two different term definitions from which you may choose.

•Ptolemy - As defined in his book “Tetrabiblos”. This set of term rulerships is also sometimes referred to as “Chaldean” (as translated by Lilly)

•Egyptian - As defined in Ptolemy’s “Tetrabiblos”.

The following tables indicates the terms of each sign, giving the planet ruling each term and the number of degrees into the sign at which its rulership ends, e.g. in the Ptolemaic Terms table, Jupiter rules the first 6 degrees of Aries (i.e. from 0°00 to 5°59’59”), and Venus rules the next 8 degrees (i.e. from 6°00 to 13°59’59”).
