Dignities Doctrine
Definition
Dignities describe how planets relate to zodiacal signs and subdivisions, giving a structured vocabulary for condition.
the overview presents dignities as one condition layer rather than a complete interpretation of a planet by itself.
History and sources
The reviewed cited materials use modern traditional presentation for table clarity while anchoring the doctrine in classical sign-rulership and exaltation witnesses.
That source mix supports a practical public table without claiming that every table tradition has the same details.
How it is calculated
The active calculation identifies sign rulership, exaltation, detriment, fall, triplicity, bounds, and face assignments from standardized tables.
these methods are treated those assignments as raw dignity factors, not a final condition judgement.
Variants
Dignity tables and weighting policies can vary by tradition and by implementation purpose.
This overview does not turn the current standardized table choice into a universal doctrine claim.
What this doctrine covers
The cited material supports public explanation of dignity categories and table-based assignment.
It is suitable for listing and detail pages that need to distinguish dignity factors from broader planetary condition.
Scope and limitations
the overview does not claim that dignity alone determines a planet's entire condition or event outcome.
Scores, weights, and synthesis rules need narrower citations.
Related practices
Dignities interact with reception, sect, planetary condition, and electional workflows when a page needs to explain support or impairment.
