Lord of the Orb

Lord of the Orb is a persian medieval time lord technique. It was described by Abu Mashar and later by Diego de Torres.

In order to calculate the Lords of the Orb go to the Forecast/Time Lords/Lord of the Orb... menu and select the following parameters:

• Planetary Sequence. This is the order in which planetary cycles are going to follow each other. The following options are available:

1. Single Cycle. After the first 12 years, the Lord of the Orb of the first year becomes the Lord of the Orb again.
2. Continuous Looping. Planetary hours sequence will be used for the first 24 years.
   

• Year. This is the option to specify the Year duration. 365.25 days year (Sidereal year) is used by default.

The Lord of the Orb table contains the list of dates when each period and sub-period starts and the ruling planet of that period (Lord of the Period).
