It also monitors the passage of the planetary hours, current planetary positions and horoscope angles for use in horary astrology. It is like having an "astrological weather forecast" on a continual basis. Timaeus loads a planetary glyph/icon into the system tray showing the planet that has lordship over the current hour. When you hover the mouse over the icon, a popup hint appears showing the current hour lord, time elapsed and time remaining in minutes, the ascendant and midheaven degrees. For indepth information on Timaeus, take the tour.
