Ufkun Şekilleri ve Göğün Dört Köşesi

Others also say that the planets, so to speak, masculinize and feminize according to the figures which they form in their comparison with the sun. For when they precede the sun and emerge in the East, they are masculine; but when they follow the sun and are in the West, they are called feminine. This same thing is also proven by the figures they form on the horizon. For when they are in the places from the East up to the mid-heaven, or from the West up to the opposite of the mid-heaven under the earth, they are masculine; this is because when they are in the East, they linger in that part from which the wind called aslabe proceeds. In the two remaining quarters, however, they are feminine, because they occupy that part from which adabo proceeds.
