An Introduction to Planetary Dignity and Debility

Astrologers' Community

Help Support Astrologers' Community:

A planet will feel supported + nurtured
in signs that feel comfortable
such as:
Domicile
Exaltation


and
inhibited - challenged
in signs that feel uncomfortable
such as:
Detriment
Fall.
 
.

It's important to note
if the chart is diurnal or nocturnal
because that's going to tell you
which of the planets is in charge of
that triplicity at that time.

Day charts, ruled by the sun
have Jupiter as the benefic
and
Saturn as the malefic.

Night charts, ruled by the moon
have Venus as the benefic
& Mars as the malefic
.
You'll have an easier time with the benefic in sect
and
a harder time with the malefic in the opposite sect.

However, going to the sect light
& identifying its triplicity lords
is a technique related to quality of life
and eminence of an individual.
&

Doesn't have to do with
the assignment of the dignity itself :)

I never use the traditional Dignities & Debilities. I believe that it is essential to use Uranus, Neptune and Pluto for complete insight and balance in the interpretation of the horoscope. The planets as a whole are essential in their use with the society we live in.
