_Hayz_ is when a masculine diurnal planet is situated above the horizon in the daytime, or when a feminine nocturnal planet is placed below the horizon in the night-time; this is fortunate in its influence. _Node._--That part of the ecliptic where a planet passes out of north into south latitude is its south node; that where it goes into north latitude is its north node. _Oriental and Occidental._--A planet, when oriental, rises before the Sun; when occidental sets after him and is seen above the horizon when the Sun is down; consequently, when a planet is oriental it is posited in the east, and when occidental, in the west.
