I mean, the querent produces or forms

My take is that H5 represents "children" in the broadest sense, including non-animate roles like artwork. Everyone/everything the produces or forms.

1. H5, if the teacher is the querent (H1), and the teacher-students dynamics are being investigated.
2. No. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't use natural significators for main roles in the question.

I wonder if there's a lucky corner on the planet where most of them aren't clowns and/or baboons.

I agree. Rhetorius conflated a number of sources, including the model of the poets of the Manethoniana and, I believe, Teucer on the barbarous sphere.

“If Mercury and Venus are in fall in their own or each other’s terms, they make imitators or politicians, especially in Capricorn due to the Ape’s co-rising.” (Rhetorius)

I will discuss Babylonian evidence related to the planets’ rising, culminating, and setting, as well as Egyptian contributions. We will also investigate the development of place interpretations in detail.

Titled “The Dawn of Horoscopic Astrology and the Development of the Twelve-Fold and Eighth-Fold Spheres,” this talk will focus on the history of the idea of the Ascendant and the two interpretative systems of places, known as the dōdekatropos and the oktatropos.

Please accept my invitation to HOROI Talk #16, scheduled for Sunday, June 22, at 4 pm GMT.

So, if you are running an astrological website, be aware of this and don't let them scam you.

and a representative of "company" itself, who tells you they insist on registering these domain names. Then, the "registrar" offers you to buy the .cn domains yourself, which is exactly what the scheme is about: giving them your money.

UPDATE: It seems to me that scammers are targeting victims among those who operate astrological websites. Separate emails are sent to the name of a "registrar," who informs you that .cn domains with the domain name of your website are requested for registration by a "company"...

...and therefore all individuals or companies running or planning to run any business or website under the horoiproject designation are scammers unrelated to the genuine HOROI Project.

...I want to state that no other webpages than horoiproject.com, patreon.com/horoiproject, facebook.com/horoiproject, x.com/horoiproject, and bsky.app/horoiproject.bsky.social are related to the HOROI astrological translation project of mine...
