![]() You might think of the hyleg as the person's vitality or energy level and the alchochoden as the form or physical shape and orderedness of the body. There was also an eidos/hule (form/matter) relationship between the hyleg and alchochoden, where the hyleg was the "material" that the alchochoden "formed" into a living entity. It is a bit like determing the life expectancy in the sense of determining the longest possible lifespan. The alchochoden therefore limited the hyleg by determining the length of time according to the major years of the planetary period (the period length of the alchochoden) which it could not exceed. To the Greeks the bound lord was peforming a limiting principle upon the planet occupying it's bounds. ![]() The difference between the Greek and Medieval definitions of the alchochoden is due to differences in the way they perceived the function of the dignities. By the time of the medieval era, the alchochoden was considered to be the "almuten" of the hyleg, where the planet which has the most dignities in the place of the hyleg is the alchochoden. The alchochoden is at least, according to Greek definition, the bound lord of the place found to be the hyleg. In a sense, this place performs like an almuten for the chart itself, sort of like the chart ruler, except the rules for finding it are very different and it's usage is for determining the length of life of an individual. ![]() The meaning is derived from an arabic word that means "the giver of life". The hyleg is that planet (or point) which is strongest in a birth chart.
