The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

A HANDBOOK OF GEOMANCY CHAPTER VI OF THE ESSENTIAL DIGNITIES OF THE FIGURES IN THE HOUSES; OF THE ASPECTS OF THE HOUSES; AND OF THE FRIENDSHIP AND ENMITY OF THE RULERS IN ASPECTS, ETC, By Essential Dignity is meant the strength of a figure when found in a particular House. A figure is therefore strongest in what is called its House; very strong in its Exaltation; strong in its Triplicity ; very weak in its Fall ; weakest of all in its Detriment. A figure is in its Fall when in a House opposite to that of its Exaltation; in its Detriment when opposite to its own House. The following list shows the Essential Dignities; that is to say, they follow the Dignities of their Ruling Planets, considering the twelve Houses of the scheme as answering to the twelve signs, thus: Asc. to v, 2to s,3 tou, &c,...12tox. Therefore ¢ figures will be strong in Asc. and weak in 7th, and so on. See chapter i. for attribution of figures to planets. ‘y is strong in Dignities of y and ¢. is strong in Dignities of h and ¢.
