to rule the day astrological concept

ἀλλ’ οὐ προσέσχον πρῶτον τὸν πολεύοντα καὶ διέποντα Ἑρμῆν εἰς πάθος ἐμπεπτωκότα· καὶ γὰρ μεγίστην ἀπόστασιν ἀπεῖχε τοῦ Ἡλίου καὶ ὑπὸ Κρόνου μόνου ἐθεωρεῖτο· ὃ καὶ βιαιοθάνατον ἀπετέλει.

‘But (those who previously interpreted this horoscope) did not pay attention first of all to Mercury, the one inhabiting and managing (the day and hour), which had fallen into suffering, for it had its greatest elongation from the Sun and was in aspect with Saturn only, and that caused violent death.’

— CCAG VI pp. 66–67

Genre: horoscope
