Do you have a day or night chart?

In Hellenistic Astrology, there is a distinction between Day and Night charts. This is called the Doctrine of Sect. Different planets are considered to be more positive in Day charts and more difficult in Night charts, and vice versa.

If you were born during the day then the Sun will be over the horizon line or above your ascendant in your natal chart. If you were born at night then the Sun will be below the horizon line or below your ascendant in your natal chart.
