Lunar Monomoiria:
Bill Johnston laid out the algorithm for Lunar Monomoiria and he defined it as follows:
--------------------------
The one described herein is pretty straightforward, and is described in Chapt. 26 of Valens' Book IV (pg 62) as the Division of the Times, In Accordance with the Seven-Zoned Sphere Upwards, in the manner of Critodemos. Bob hasn't decided what to call it yet; for a working title you can use Lunar Monomoiria. The periods assigned to the planets come from the ascending order of the spheres: Moon, 1 year; Mercury, 2 years; Venus, 3 years; Sun, 4 years; Mars, 5 years; Jupiter, six years; Saturn, 7 years. They total 28 years. The starting point is determined by the monomoiria of the Moon. The monomoiria are the type listed in Paulus, where the first degree of a sign is ruled by the sign's domicile lord, and the successive degrees follow in the descending Chaldean order.
The ruler of the Moon's degree is the first time lord; successive lords follow in the order they fall in the nativity. After 28 years, you start again from the planet that was the second time lord. Example:
The Moon in Hitler's chart is in the 7th degree of CAP, who's ruler just happens to be the Moon, so the Moon gets the first period which is one year. The next planet in zodiacal order is Jupiter, so it's the second time lord, for a period of 6 years. Mercury gets the next 2 years, the Sun gets the next 4 years, Mars the next 5 years, Venus the next 3 years, and Saturn the last 7 years of the first 28 year cycle. The next cycle starts with Jupiter as the planet following the planet that started the first cycle. After Jupiter's 6 years comes Mercury's 2 years, the Sun's 4 years, and so forth until the Moon's 1 year completes the second 28 year cycle. The third 28 year cycle starts with Mercury's 2 years. If he would have lived past 84, the fourth cycle would have started with the Sun's 4 years.
There are no sub-periods or co-operating lords.
