Firdaria

Firdaria is a Persian time-lord system that assigns life chapters to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the lunar nodes in a fixed sequence, with a single period lasting no more than 4,760 days. Day charts begin from the Sun and night charts from the Moon. The variants separate each ruler's major and sub-periods; read the major ruler for the broader chapter, then the sub-period ruler for the active emphasis.

In detail

Firdaria selects its starting lord from chart sect, meaning whether the birth occurred by day or night: day charts begin with the Sun, while night charts begin with the Moon, then proceed through a fixed sequence. The planetary major periods are Sun 10 years, Venus 8, Mercury 13, Moon 9, Saturn 11, Jupiter 12, and Mars 7, followed by shorter periods for the lunar nodes. Each major period is subdivided into sub-periods in sequence. Interpretation takes the major lord as the broad life chapter, the sub-period lord as its current emphasis, and then compares whether their topics reinforce or constrain one another.

FAQ

How long does each Firdaria major period last?

The lengths differ by ruler: the Sun has 10 years, Venus 8, Mercury 13, the Moon 9, Saturn 11, Jupiter 12, and Mars 7, followed by shorter nodal periods. Exact calendar boundaries depend on the day or night starting sequence and the birth data, so they must be calculated from the individual chart.

What is the difference between a Firdaria major period and sub-period?

The major period sets the broad life chapter, while the sub-period identifies the active emphasis within it. Their rulers can reinforce each other or pull toward different topics, so interpretation begins with the major lord and then compares the sub-period lord.

Why do day and night charts have different Firdaria periods?

They begin from different rulers. A day chart starts with the Sun and a night chart with the Moon before moving through the prescribed sequence, so people of the same age may be in different periods; establish chart sect before checking the current lord.
