Then you are using the unreversed formula in effect.

I feel so much better I've finally understood your point and will gratefully accept your offer of a drink, recalling a radio presenter at the Rosenburg match the other day was complaining that a pint cost as much as ?3 in Norway!Bingo! But it has a different meaning and conveys a different message! Remind me to by you a drink when we meet
That must have been non-alcoholic then. A pint will cost you ?6,- with ease. Fortunately I brew my own beer, so that won't offer any problem. Yeah - we can have fish!Gem said:

I'm not sure this solves the problem. The part of fortune is also called the part of the Moon and it is the part of the Moon in a day chart. In fact the part of fortune is the position where the Moon would be if the Sun were on the ASC, and this is in a day chart. I do not understand given these definitions why sect is so important in the formula.Because the Sun comes first during day and the Moon comes first during night.
If reversal originated with the Arabs I would agree that they complicated a nice simple system. Unfortunately Paulus, a fourth century Greek calls for reversal despite Ptolemy not doing so. But all of this begs the question: if there is a reason for reversal, what is it? If we grant priority in a day chart to the Sun, why call the part or lot the part (or lot) of the Moon, and then reverse it in a night chart so that we get the day time part of the Sun? I don't think there is any logic to this at all, but it definitely does have authority on its side.The arbians must have had a reason for this division - or were they simply at err and trying to make things difficult.
