The Sun and Venus are termed father and mother respectively of the seed sown during the day; Saturn and the Moon during the night. Failing to play the role of parents each of these pairs of planets get the designation of paternal uncle and maternal aunt. They become propitious to the pair they represent when they occupy the odd and even signs.
