1. (astrology) Before the sun (of the rising of a planet or star); that rises before the sun (of a planet or star).Examples: "1817, Ebenezer Sibly, The New and Complete Illustration of the Celestial Science of Astrology, Volume 2, Revised Edition, 1822 printing, page 1031, If, at the time of the matutine ſetting of the Dolphin, there be ſhowers, there will be none at the riſing of Arcturus. […] The matutine riſing of the greater Dog begetteth heat, troubleth the ſeas, and changeth all things."; "Matutine planets are those which in their rising precede the Sun.[…]We must also know in what conditions the matutine star rejoices and in what the vespertine star rejoices, for they are protected in a favorable position whenever they precede the Sun."; "The star indicates much trouble for the native in whose chart it is matutine rising or setting, but if the aspect is matutine culmination Arcturus brings riches and honor."not-comparable
