How are circumambulations (perambulation) used to distribute significators through bounds over time?

The article points to a specific page (./how-are-circumambulations-perambulation-used-to-distribute-significators-through-bounds-over-time) that details the use of circumambulations for distributing significators.

How are circumambulations (perambulation) used to distribute significators through bounds over time?

Circumambulations, or perambulation, move a chart’s significators (planets, lots, or points) through the system of bounds (also called "terms") in a fixed order. Each bound covers a specific degree range of a sign, and as the significator passes through each bound, it activates the themes associated with that bound. This method provides a step‑by‑step timing map that can be overlaid with other techniques for finer resolution.

How are Level 2 (L2) subperiods measured within an L1 sign?

Within each L1 sign, Level 2 (L2) subperiods are measured in months using the same order and proportionality as the planetary year.

How are micro‑cycles generated?

They are generated by applying the month‑for‑year ratio in minor progressions.

How are minor progressions integrated with other timing techniques?

They are most effective when combined with the natal promise, dignities, condition of time lords, transits, secondary progressions, annual profections, and the solar return, providing a complementary layer of detail.

How are planetary positions determined for the Nth year after birth in minor progressions?

The planetary positions for the Nth year after birth are taken from ephemerides roughly N lunar months after the birth date.

How are planetary years assigned to the zodiac signs in Zodiacal Releasing?

Mars = 15 years (Aries, Scorpio); Venus = 8 years (Taurus, Libra); Mercury = 20 years (Gemini, Virgo); Moon = 25 years (Cancer); Sun = 19 years (Leo); Jupiter = 12 years (Sagittarius, Pisces); Saturn = 30 years (Capricorn, Aquarius).

How are secondary progressions calculated?

Secondary progressions equate one ephemeris day after birth to one symbolic year of life; the progressed Sun advances about one degree per year, and the progressed Moon completes a roughly 29.5‑year lunation cycle.

How are sub‑firdaria allocated within a major period?

Sub‑firdaria are allocated proportionally within the major period, meaning each sub‑period receives a share of the major period’s influence based on a proportional division.

How are the Lot of Fortune and the Lot of Spirit calculated?

The Lot of Fortune is calculated by day as Ascendant + Moon − Sun and by night as Ascendant + Sun − Moon; the Lot of Spirit reverses the Fortune formula.

How is the arc of motion converted into a time estimate?

The arc is converted into years by applying a directing “key,” which produces an estimated date for the development in the native’s life.

How is the arc of motion converted into a time estimate in primary directions?

The arc required for the significator to encounter the promissor is converted into years by applying a directing “key,” producing an estimated date for the development in the native’s life.

How is the arc value for Solar Arc Directions calculated?

The article points to a separate article named "How is the arc value for Solar Arc Directions calculated?" for the calculation method.

How is the arc value for Solar Arc Directions calculated?

The arc is usually based on the mean daily motion of the Sun, known as the Naibod arc, which is approximately 0°59′08″ per year—commonly rounded to about one degree of arc per year of life.

How is the arc value for Solar Arc Directions calculated?

It is calculated based on the Sun's mean daily motion (the Naibod arc), which is about 0°59′08″ per year, and is commonly rounded to about one degree per year of life.

How is the “lord of the year” determined for a given year?

The lord of the year is identified by finding the planet that rules the sign that has been profected, using its domicile rulership; some later authorities also consider the planet’s exaltation as a secondary lord.

How is the “lord of the year” identified in the profections method?

The lord of the year is the planet that rules the profected sign by domicile; exaltation is sometimes noted as a secondary lord in later sources.

How is the profected house determined for each year?

Annual profection is a counting procedure that begins from the natal Ascendant. Each completed year of life advances the focus one whole sign forward in zodiacal order: age 0‑1 corresponds to the 1st house/sign, age 1‑2 to the 2nd, age 2‑3 to the 3rd, and so on, wrapping around every 12 years. The activated sign in any given year is the profected house.

Advanced timing techniques are predictive methods that go beyond simple transits to calculate when specific planetary influences become active. They often use time‑lord and arc‑based systems, applying per‑method calculations and cross‑references to create layered forecasts. These techniques include zodiacal releasing, circumambulations, secondary and minor progressions, and profections, each offering a different temporal resolution and focus on the chart’s inner or outer dynamics.
