Hi everyone,
Have been considering lately some models of planetary temperament and affinity between a planet’s innate temperament to sign placement, according to element.
Created a table with all of the possible placements, in order to check which combinations are more and which are less beneficial for the planets.
I’ve used the most popular and widespread scheme of planetary temperament:
Mars/Sun – Hot+Dry
Moon/Venus – Cold+Wet
Merc/Sat – Cold+Dry
Jupiter – Hot+Wet
---
Fire - Hot+Dry
Water - Cold+Wet
Earth - Cold+Dry
Air - Hot+Wet
Example for how to use the table:
Mars is a hot and dry planet, so whenever Mars is in a fire sign there’s affinity between Mars’ temperament and him being in Aries/Leo/Sag. Thus, mars is ‘boosted’ and can act more naturally and organically, you can say. I consider it as a form of accidental dignity.
The contrary is also true. Since Mars is hot and dry and water signs are cold and wet, Mars would feel hampered in Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces. I would consider it as a form of accidental debility.
This model gets more interesting when you combine it with essential dignity, and especially domicile, exaltation and triplicity. All manner of interaction ensues, in such a way.
For example, Mars in Scorpio is both in domicile and in triplicity dignity, but mars would be accidentally weak according to the temperament condition. So you get a mixed bag of sorts.
With other planets, like Mercury for example, you get a strong boost via both essential dignity and temperament. Say Mercury in Virgo (Mercury being cold and dry, in a cold and dry sign, and in domicile plus exaltation).
Or strong debility according to both conditions, like in the case of Jupiter in Capricorn (Jupiter being hot and wet, in a cold and dry sign, plus the fall condition in Capricorn).
* I use the Hellenistic model of triplicity scoring; [+3] to all three planets
* And a 'thank you' is owed to Charles Obert, who was first to make me aware of these interesting interactions, through his book “Using Dignity in Astrology”
Also posted about this, more in-depth, on my blog.
