This is a third try these past five days at posting this post which at first was about both of us seeing a shadow on our slanted bedroom ceiling in the same place that we both saw a cat shadow some months ago. During this third try this evening, an announcement was made about an arrest after 5:00 PM related to a young body found before noon five days ago, Sunday morning, which has stuck in mind alongside the unposted posts.
Hellenistic lots depend on sect, i.e., whether the Sun is above or below the horizon. “Day” measurements differ from “night” measurements even if both times are crepuscular proximate. The Lot of Necessity calculates Mercury and Lot of Nemesis calculates Saturn (source Paulus of Alexandria c. 378 CE from text Panaretus via Chris Brennan, pp. 525–526, though these calculations below are via Astrodienst).
