Firdaria is a Persian time-lord system: life is divided into planetary periods whose order depends on whether you were born by day or by night. Maxis divides each major period into seven equal sub-periods; the lunar node periods are not subdivided, following the classical rule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is firdaria? ›
A Persian technique that assigns successive planetary periods to life; each period’s planet acts as its "time lord" and sets the tone of those years.
How does day or night birth change the order? ›
Day births start the sequence with the Sun, night births with the Moon; the full 75-year cycle stays the same but the periods land at different ages.
How are sub-periods calculated? ›
Each major period divides into seven equal sub-periods, whose rulers proceed in order starting from the period’s own planet. The North and South Node periods are not subdivided, in line with the classical sources.
Can firdaria be used together with profections? ›
Yes; the two techniques run on different scales, and when overlaid, the planets ruling both at once gain special importance.
