Dignities
Source notes
- 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 page does not claim that dignity alone determines a planet's entire condition or event outcome.
- The page treats those assignments as raw dignity factors, not a final condition judgement.
- The public page 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 seed page does not turn the current standardized table choice into a universal doctrine claim.
- This page supports public explanation of dignity categories and table-based assignment.
