Of-the-eve-ning

/əv ði ˈiːvnɪŋ/

1. A descriptor for a planet, point, or chart associated with the evening portion of the day or the evening sect; typically indicates that the planet is postsolar (occidental) or otherwise aligned with nocturnal conditions.
2. In Hellenistic astrology, used to contrast with of the morning and to mark sectal orientation, visibility in the evening sky, and related interpretive rules.

Of the evening signals an evening or vespertine character in Hellenistic practice: it identifies planets that operate according to evening or nocturnal sect principles and often correlates with planets that are visible after sunset or lie to the west of the Sun. Interpreters use this designation to determine sectal strength, adjust judgments about benefic and malefic roles, and distinguish how similar placements function differently when they belong to the evening versus the morning orientation.
