Accidental Dignity (Strength by Position)
A significator — the planet that stands for a person or thing — does not draw its strength from its sign alone; in this module you will learn how closeness to the Sun, direction of motion, speed and house position can strengthen or weaken a significator.
TOPICS
- 1Combustion and CazimiThe Sun can be a significator's greatest enemy and its strongest ally alike; which one it becomes depends on how closely the significator approaches it.
- 2Retrograde MotionWhen a significator appears to walk backward in the sky, it is said to be retrograde; in horary this is a marked sign of weakness.
- 3Angularity and SpeedThe house a significator stands in and the speed at which it moves determine its capacity to act.
