With the planetary hour mars, we are looking for a reddish colour shade based horse on the al kindi method?

I think so, Vas.

In chaper 36.1 al-Kindi say's red for Mars. Then you have to check what planet is applying to Lord of the Hour. Not sure if we count a semi-sextile of the Moon...if we do then I think you need to mix the white of the Moon with Mars.

Then he goes on to say if Lord of the Hour is in East it signifies a young horse; in the West, aged.

John has much more experience of the system.

JupiterMk4,

Thank you very much for this information.

Al-Kindi method:

The first thing to remember is that this method was described at a time when Arabian horses raced, rather than Thoroughbreds. Arabians tend to have greater variations in colour, so this needs to be considered when looking at Thoroughbreds.

Todays chart:

Planetary hour - Mars - equals chestnut horse. With Thoroughbreds this can be the more common bay colour with a reddish tone, rather than a plainer brown.


Next - nearest planetary aspect to Hour Lord (classical aspects and classical planets only). Venus squares Mars but very wide. Venus would darken the chestnut colouring.


Finally - the chart is turned so the Hour Ruler is in the first house. The decan ruler is considered in relation to this. Decan ruler is Jupiter.

Some planets indicate markings, others don't. Jupiter indicates markings.

Jupiter is in the 7th on the turned chart, this indicates a tail lighter than the rest of the horse.

John,

This is very interesting and thank you very much for this information.
