Greetings, fellow dialists,
An ancient sea captain of my acquaintance suggests, for sunrise, an open
circle with a short straight line tangental to the bottom of the circle
and for sunset a similar circle with a tangental straight line at the top.

P.S. So many sundialling sailors!
On analemmatic (human) sundials with sunrise and sunset markers (Bailey
points) I use a half a sunburst sitting on a horizontal line, but with
no distinction between them other than the words 'rise' and 'set' below
the line respectively. Illustration needed? If so, what's the best way
to send
Dear David,
I use a half a sunburst sitting on a
horizontal line, but with no distinction
between them other than the words 'rise'
and 'set' below the line respectively.
I rather like that. Half a sun clearly
suggests that the sun is on the horizon
and the words 'rise' and 'set' resolve

Dear Fer,
You are right, of course!
I wrote houses when I meant circles.
I still believe that the eastern half
of the horizon circle corresponds to
Domifying Circle #1. As soon as the
sun crosses that circle (at sunrise) it
is in House #12 (as you say). It stays
in that house until it crosses
Dear Willy,
This is an interesting point...
For astrologers, the time of sunrise
and sunset is not necessary...
Is this true? What about astrologers
who use domifying circles?
These circles divide the sky above the
horizon into the Regiomontanus Houses
and the sun passes through each of
I sent this note to Frank King and forgot to copy to the list:
I know little about historical sundial use. However, it seems
quite accepted among cartoonists that a sun with RAYs close
to the horizon represents sun RISE.
I suppose the opposite, no rays, is sunset.

Dear Willy, Gianni, Carl, Larry, et al,
Thank you all for the splendid selection of
symbols which I shall pass on.
The only ancient one, so far, is the Chinese
symbol sent by Carl. This is the kind of
thing my designer friend was looking for.
I rather like the simple signs myself.

Dear All,
A designer friend has asked about symbols
for sunrise and sunset on sundials.
Given the obvious importance of these two
points of the day I would expect there to
be many examples but I cannot recall any
on sundials and hardly any elsewhere.
I have seen the usual astronomical symbol

Dear Willy,
I like your symbols very much!!!
There is just one problem...
I think my designer friend wants to put
these symbols on the horizon line at the
beginning and end of the winter solstice
curve...
Of course, with a rising sun, the shadow
of the nodus starts downwards

Not everybody is smiling when the sun rises and frowns at sunset.!
Smiling and frowning faces thus are not unambiguous symbols.
