Source basis
A sign-based condition doctrine that identifies planetary rulerships and debilities such as domicile, exaltation, detriment, fall, triplicity, bounds, and faces.
Dignities describe how planets relate to zodiacal signs and subdivisions, giving a structured vocabulary for condition.
Dignities interact with reception, sect, planetary condition, and electional workflows when a page needs to explain support or impairment.
Dignity tables and weighting policies can vary by tradition and by implementation purpose.
It is suitable for listing and detail pages that need to distinguish dignity factors from broader planetary condition.
Scores, weights, and synthesis rules need narrower citations.
That source mix supports a practical public table without claiming that every table tradition has the same details.
The active calculation identifies sign rulership, exaltation, detriment, fall, triplicity, bounds, and face assignments from standardized tables.
The public row presents dignities as one condition layer rather than a complete interpretation of a planet by itself.
The public text is paraphrase-only and should not expose table source filenames or review paths.
The reviewed source notes use modern traditional presentation for table clarity while anchoring the doctrine in classical sign-rulership and exaltation witnesses.
The row does not claim that dignity alone determines a planet's entire condition or event outcome.
The row treats those assignments as raw dignity factors, not a final condition judgement.
The seed row does not turn the current standardized table choice into a universal doctrine claim.
This row supports public explanation of dignity categories and table-based assignment.
