According to the translator "gegensatz" means "contrast, opposite".
Is there an astrological term for the opposite of prorogator?
Regarding the two Greek words, Google didn't translate 'anetes', but 'aphetes' was translated as "releaser".
The Latin verb 'prorogo' is defined as "extend, prolong, defer". While the English verb 'prorogue' has "protract, defer, postpone". All of which were marked as obsolete.
Furthermore, these definitions have implications which seem to be in opposition to the idea of a "releaser", something to do with freedom as contrasted with the prolonging and protracting of the present state. That would indicate then that the prorogator is being called the opposite of the releaser.
While the idea of a 'goddess of procrastination' is amusing, it doesn't possess any historical substantiation, AFAIK.
