其用法分日生與夜生盤兩種不同順序，日生盤的順序為：

• 太陽（10）
• 金星（8）
• 水星（13）
• 太陰（9）
• 土星（11）
• 木星（12）
• 火星（7）
• 北交（3）
• 南交（2）

夜生盤順序為：

• 太陰（9）
• 土星（11）
• 木星（12）
• 火星（7）
• 北交（3）
• 南交（2）
• 太陽（10）
• 金星（8）
• 水星（13）

Now that Birchfield has identified the original source, the controversy appears to be settled. The Moon's North Node rules ages 70-73 and South Node, ages 73-75 for all of us, whether we have day or night births.
也有人认为：对所有的人来说，不管日生或者夜生，月北交都掌管着70-73岁，月南交为73-75岁


Every individual's life then, has a period that is in the larger context ruled by Mars. How that period plays out depended on the factors Abu Ma'shar lists in the previous quote and I can recap simply as follows:

每个人的生命中，都有很大一部分由火星掌管，而那一段时间是如何演绎的，则可以根据以下ABU MA'SHAR大师列出的要点来分析：

Look at the age ruler in the nativity;
1. Its zodiacal condition
2. The house it is posited in
3. The house(s) it rules
4. The testimonies of the other planets to it (aspects)
首先看大限守护星在本命盘的情况：
1. 所落入星座
2. 所落入宫位
3. 所主管的宫位（可以是多个宫位）
4. 与其他行星所行程的相位

Look at the Age Ruler in the SR of the year it assumes its lordship:
1. Its zodiacal condition
2. The house it is posited in
3. The house(s) it rules
4. The testimonies of the other planets to it (aspects)
然后看年份主管行星的情况：
1. 所落入星座
2. 所落入宫位
3. 所主管的宫位（可以是多个宫位）
4. 与其他行星所行程的相位


Compare the two testimonies:
1. If both are good, it indicates great advantage and profit
2. If both are bad, it indicates great disadvantage and upset
3. If they do not agree in testimony, the ruler indicates only mediocre advantage and disadvantage; many ‘ups and downs’.
然后比较两个象征星的状况：
1. 如果两个象征性都良好，则喻示着优势和获利
2. 如果两个象征星都不良，则喻示着不利和动荡
3. 如果两个象征星表现情况不一直，则不好不坏，大部分情况会比较起伏不定

简介:

法達星限由波斯人發明，其用法與印度占星Dashas大限類似，法達（Firdaria）一詞其實就是「期間」（Period）的意思，它是一種藉 著值限星排列的推叻绞剑═ime Ruler System），而其排列法則延續著迦勒底星序的傳統（Chaldaean Order of Planets）。法達星限哂昧巳赵挛逍且约澳媳苯稽c共九個星體與虛點。

其中太陽掌管10年，太陰掌管9年，土星為11年，木星12年，火星7年，金星8年，水星13年，北交點3年，南交點2年，加起來總共75年。

其用法分日生與夜生盤兩種不同順序，日生盤的順序為：

• 太陽（10）
• 金星（8）
• 水星（13）
• 太陰（9）
• 土星（11）
• 木星（12）
• 火星（7）
• 北交（3）
• 南交（2）

夜生盤順序為：

• 太陰（9）
• 土星（11）
• 木星（12）
• 火星（7）
• 北交（3）
• 南交（2）
• 太陽（10）
• 金星（8）
• 水星（13）

每個星限中又分副限，每個副限先從本限星依序輪值，每一副限掌管1/7的時間。例如，太陽限的第一副限由太陽開始輪值1.428571429年 （10/7=1.428571429），第二副限為金星輪值1.428571429年，第三副限由水星輪值1.428571429年，依此類推，但南北交 不再分副限。

法達星限看流年的用法很簡單，看該年由何星輪值主限與副限，再看該星在本命盤中所掌管的宮位，以及受剋與得吉程度，來斷定該年的吉凶。法達星限不會單用，通常需要配合小限法，才能準確判斷該年的吉凶以及吉於何事、凶於何事。用法詳見其他案例。

要額外說明一點的是, 主吲c副呤且粯又匾, 例如, 
火星大哐e的火金, 並不會因為主邽榛鹦歉边為金星, 就特別強調火星的影響, 
在火金呦, 金星跟火星是同等重要的. 
但主要大呷杂衅渲笜诵砸饬x, 如水火大, 在水星呦碌幕鹦歉边, 
該咂陂g的相關事件與事務, 多少會帶有水星主呦嚓P的主題性影響. 
再者, 若主咝桥c副咝侵g有相位關係時, 
也會強化主咝桥c副咝窃谠摯筮期間的影響力. 


大叩暮脡模槙撑c否取決於星體在命盤裡的狀態與狀況， 
亦即星體在命盤裡所呈現出的質 -- 
主要由 
1. 星體的天性與座落星座度數的交感， 
2. 與其他星體的相位， 
3. 以及其定位星這三者所共同構成。 

而星體質的好壞與否, 是個體間走相同大邊s有高低差異的關鍵之一， 
因為同樣是日生盤的人， 
會同樣在十八歲生日的時候交水星大撸 
也同樣會在三十一歲生日的時候交月亮大撸 
然而每個人的金星摺⑺沁都會有個體差異產生, 
畢竟每個人金星座落的星座度數、與其他星體的相位，定位星等等 
多少都不盡相同。 
當然，星體座落的宮位以及與其他星體的相位也會是造成差異的原因之一. 南交的年限，对一个中年人来说是非常关键的

關於星體質的表現，有其他因素也需要被考慮的， 
例如，逆行，燃燒，在陽光下，咝兴俣瓤炻 
被兇星傷到否，是否靠近MC，HAYZ，等等。 

目前市面上雖然有占星軟件支援此種大叻ǖ挠嬎, 
如 solar fire, 或者 kepler 等等, 
但如果沒有這些軟件, 
其實它的算法也不會很難, 或許可以背一下各星體主宰的年數, 
交叩臍q數, 大概幾歲的時候會走什麼樣的主吲c副, 
應該很快就可以上手的

例：
Firdar: Sun - Saturn
法达：日-土
Profected House: 7th
掌管宫位：7宫

Kahlo was in the Firdar period ruled by the Sun and sub-period ruled by Saturn. The Sun is the Ruler and Almuten of the 1st house, (this house is associated with the life and the physical body of the native ‘Anatole’) and it makes an opposition to Mars, Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body ‘Cace Tyche’). Saturn, the great malefic, is the Ruler and Almuten of the 7th house, active by Profection, and Ruler of the sub-period of Firdar, it is posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses ‘Epicataphora’).
法达星限处于主限太阳，次限土星的期间。太阳是1宫的主星，也是一宫最强旺的行星（此宫与活力，外表，身体有关），并与6宫主火星形成冲相位（6宫主管身体疾病）。土星这颗大凶星是7宫主，主限中行至8宫（象征死亡，恐惧，通往地狱之门）

1925: 18 and 19 years old
1925年 18岁与19岁
Firdar: Mercury - Mercury
法达：水星-水星
Profected Houses: 7th and 8th
主管宫位：7宫和8宫
Kahlo was seriously wounded on September 17, 1925, in a collision between a streetcar and a bus in which she was travelling from school to her home in Coyoacán. The multiple traumatisms that Kahlo suffered were so serious that even her own doctors doubted that she would survive.
KAHLO在1925年9月17日，被车辆严重撞伤，医生当时几乎判定无法生还

Firdar period and sub-period is ruled by Mercury. Considering Mercury as the Ruler and Almuten of the 2nd house and 11th house in her nativity, it would not point out this tragic episode in Kahlo's life. However, for being posited in the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities ‘Cacos Daemon’) it shows the events very clearly. The Profected House by the time of the accident is the 7th house. The Ruler of the 7th house is Saturn, a planet that indicates limitations, which is posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses) and it also is co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body). When she was sick and using several plaster casts, the Profected House was the 8th house. The Ruler of the 8th house is Jupiter, conjunct to the cusp of the 12th house, mentioned above. Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature, but in the case of Kahlo's nativity in spite of being in Exaltation and Term, it is Cadent, Combust, and afflicted by an opposition from Mars and it is the Ruler of a bad house ‘Epicataphora’. Saturn, the co-Almuten of the 6th house, is posited in the 8th house.
法达主限期间以及次限期间都由水星主管。水星是2宫和11宫的宫主星，但是水星位于12宫弱宫。主限法中，事故期间大限走到7宫，土星为7宫主，落入8宫。而8宫主为木星落入12宫宫头。虽然木星天性不算凶星，但是在KAHLO本命中，虽然木星旺相，但是落入弱宫，被焦伤，也被8宫主火星冲到，而6宫主土星则落于8宫之中。


1930: 22 years old
Firdar: Mercury - Saturn
Profected House: 11th
法达： 水星-土星
主管宫位：11宫

In the beginning of the year, Kahlo interrupted her pregnancy due to the incorrect position of the fetus.
年初，KAHLO因为胎位不正而流产。

Firdar period ruled by Mercury and sub-period ruled by Saturn, both planets and their positions are mentioned above. The Profected House is the 11th, whose Ruler and Almuten is Mercury, posited in the 12th house, also as mentioned above.
法达期间为水星-土星，两个行星根据上述情况，主导宫位为11宫，而其宫主星为水星，落于12宫。同样也是凶相。


1932: 24 years old
Firdar: Mercury - Jupiter
Profected House: 1st

On July 4, 1932 Kahlo’s second pregnancy was interrupted with an abortion in the Henry Ford Hospital. This event affected Kahlo immensely, which one can see in her works, especially in the "Henry Ford Hospital" or "The Flying Bed".

The Firdar period is ruled by Mercury and the sub-period by Jupiter. Mercury as indicated previously is posited in the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). Jupiter, the Ruler of the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses), is posited in the cusp of the 12th house and it is also Ruler and Almuten of the 5th house (this house is associated with the pregnancy and with children ‘Agathe Tyche’). The opposition from Mars, posited in the 5th house, to Jupiter, is a strong indication of Kahlo's difficulties in having children and confers to this issue a very violent character, pertaining to the nature of Mars. The Profected House is the 1st, the Sun is the Ruler and the Almuten of the 1st house, (this house is associated with life and with the physical body of the native) and it receives an opposition from Mars, Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body) and as mentioned above, posited in the 5th house. If the opposition from Mars to Jupiter already indicates Kahlo's difficulties in having children and the violence that Mars confers to the circumstances, the opposition to the Ruler and Almuten of the 1st, increases the difficulty of Kahlo to accomplish her desire of having children, since the 1st house is by nature the house associated with life.







«Henry Ford Hospital» or «The Flying Bed», 1932




1938: 31 years old




Firdar: Moon - Moon



Profected House: 8th



In October/November Kahlo made her first individual exhibition in the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, with which reached a great success and received several orders for her works.

Firdar period and sub-period is ruled by the Moon. In Kahlo's nativity the Moon is the ruler of the Midheaven by Exaltation and it is practically conjunct to it, in Exaltation and Triplicity. The Moon is disposed by Venus, in the cusp of the 11th house (this house is associated with hopes, groups, organizations and friends ‘Agathos Daemon’). This configuration points out the success of the exhibition and also Kahlo's prestige among the social circle of the time, Venus in the 11th house dispositor of the Moon.

In January of 1939, during the same Firdar period, Kahlo embarked to Paris to carry out an exhibition, which did not go so well as the previous, due to several factors.

Kahlo was in the Profected 8th house (31 years old), ruled by Jupiter (delineated above), but with the malefic Saturn posited in the same house. Furthermore, Venus, the dispositor of the Moon, receives a square from Saturn, justifying in this manner the limitations and delays of the exhibition in Paris.



1950: 42-43 years old




Firdar: Saturn - Jupiter and Saturn - Mars



Profected Houses: 7th and 8th



Kahlo spent nine months in the ABC Hospital, in Mexico City, where she was submitted to a total of 7 operations to the column. “I was sick during a year … I still am in a wheel chair and I don't know when I will be able to walk again. I have a plaster cast that, instead of being horribly boring, it helps me to better support my column. I don't feel pain, only a great weariness …, and, as it is natural, sometimes despair. An indescribable despair. However I want to live …”.

When Kahlo was submitted to the operations, she was in the Firdar of Saturn - Jupiter which had begun in 30-01-1949, entering the Firdar of Saturn - Mars in 26-08-1950. Saturn is the Ruler and co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body), posited in the 8th house (this house is associated with death, fears and losses) and Jupiter, Ruler of the 8th house, posited in the cusp of the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). Mars, Ruler of the Firdar sub-period (26-08-1950), Almuten of the 6th house, makes an opposition with the Sun, Ruler and Almuten of the 1st house (this house is associated with life and with the physical body of the native). The Profected Houses during this disturbed period of Kahlo's life are the 7th and 8th houses. The 7th house is ruled by Saturn posited in the 8th house. The 8th house is ruled by Jupiter posited in the cusp of the 12th house, all these configurations were already delineated above.



1954: 47 years old




Firdar: Saturn - Venus



Profected House: 12th



Seriously sick with pneumonia, Kahlo died during the night of 12 to 13 of July, 1954, seven days after her 47th birthday.

Kahlo was in the Firdar period of Saturn and sub-period of Venus. Venus is the Almuten of the 8th house, house associated with death, and it makes a square to Saturn, Ruler and co-Almuten of the 6th house (this house is associated with diseases and defects of the body), posited in the 8th house, which reiterates the meaning of the 8th house, death. In spite of a Mutual Reception by Triplicity that exists between Venus and Saturn, both are Peregrines, not mitigating this configuration. Besides the afflictions mentioned above and in spite of Venus being a benefic planet by nature, it is also afflicted for being Succedent, in Triplicity and in the Terms of the great malefic, Saturn. Jupiter, Ruler of the 8th house, the house associated with death, is conjunct to the Profected House, the 12th house (this house is associated with serious diseases, hospitalizations, imprisonments and adversities). As it was said previously, Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature, but in the case of Kahlo's nativity, in spite of finding it in Exaltation and Term, it is Cadent, Combust and afflicted by an opposition from Mars and it is the Ruler of a bad house ‘Epicataphora’. Notice that the Ruler of the Profected House, the Moon, is Void of Course.




Last page of Kahlo's diary, "I hope the exit is joyful and hope never to return."




In 1958 the Frida Kahlo Museum was opened, in the "Blue House" where Kahlo was born and died, the Museum was presented to the Mexican nation, in agreement with Diego Rivera's whishes, who died in 1957.



Conclusion



The purpose of this study is not to be a deepened delineation but an approach of some important events in Frida Kahlo's life, using Medieval predictive techniques like Firdar and Profection. It is necessary to have in consideration that these techniques are not enough for an exhaustive delineation of a nativity, however, these two techniques are tools of an immense predictive value. For a complete study it would be necessary to apply other types of techniques, such as transits, solar returns and primary directions, which would complement the predictive techniques of Firdar and Profection.

As one could verify by the delineation above, the techniques used in this study provides a clear and objective analysis of some key-points in the artist's life.

Let's say we have a chart with Jupiter in the Midheaven and rules the ascendant and the fourth. In its firdar then the events will be those pertaining to the life and livelihood of the native (ascendant) as well as those that concern the natives parents, heritage, and lands and secret things etc, (the fourth). It will also signify events concerning profession and magistries and his destiny. Now let's say the Sun is participating for its time in Jupiter's firdar. It is a diurnal chart and let's say the Sun is in the 11th. How will the Sun manage what Jupiter dispenses? Well first we can say that in a diurnal chart Jupiter is the proxy and benefactor of good things of the Sun - they are of the same sect and the Sun is its sect Lord. Therefore we might say that the Sun will do well to distribute what Jupiter dispenses because of their kinship and friendship and the affections of those times (how the sun reacts) is going to be in its typical solar and life giving fashion. It might be a period of exceptionally good health and wealth from the native’s livelihood. If the Sun ruled the 9th then it might indicate the native’s knowledge in providing a livelihood etc. Now if it were Mars participating and Mars was in say the 7th and in a superior square to Jupiter we might say Mars is the mortal enemy of Jupiter and given to destruction and enmities and its passions with regard to Jupiter’s matters are going to be destructive and overwhelming, so we might find events concerning livelihood are full of contention and disagreement or his health is threatened by accidents which separate him from his profession etc.

It would be necessary to know what relationship the participating planet has to the ruler and whether those houses for which the ruler dispenses are benefited or detrimental by the participating planet and whether or not that planet has any testimony in those matters etc.

This is all very simplistic and does not include such considerations as where the participator falls in the solar revolution and whether or not it has a signification to year and how it is configured to the ruler in the solar return etc.

The tapestry that Abu Ma'shar weaves between all the elements of prediction is a masterpiece in my opinion although at times difficult to fathom <g>.

OK so I'll stop here because I never intended to write an essay here, but it’s difficult to discuss some things without really understanding something of their original meanings.



在2005年4月之前，firdaria走到水-月時期，月亮天蠍到命盤9宮，月亮雖入弱，卻得到10宮火星入廟的幫助， 月亮為群眾，火星在10宮為尊榮，這就是所謂鎂光燈下焦點的寫照。

    到了2005年4月之後，firdaria走到水-土時期，土星天蠍到命盤9宮，雖然也得到火星入廟定位， 但由於土星本身主壓抑，狀態又屬外來的(peregrine)，主孤單，也是盤中12宮主(cadent)主閉藏，再加上最近流吆Ｍ鯇_土星， 所以容易有無依、自閉、不悅的情形。

      近 期流吣就習合，木星會稍緩土星之危， 而今年小限(profection)命度在11宮，宮內見木星，原局水星也入廟，心態上如果能稍加調整就會好一點的。但水-土時期會持續到2008年2 月，2008年2月後，會進入直到水-木時期，屆時整體邉莶艜稍稍增強。

      附帶一提，兩個時期月、土分別刑日，在人際關係上有點互相較勁的味道，走水-土時期建議低調一點，以避免不必要的人事紛爭。」
