The dignities
A planet's strength according to the sign it lands in — the classical system. In domicile (at home) or exaltation it speaks at full volume; in detriment (opposite its domicile) or fall (opposite its exaltation) it works against the current — which often makes it more interesting, not weaker. No mention means the planet is simply neutral.
- In domicile
- At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
- Exalted
- Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
- In detriment
- Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
- In fall
- Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
