Source basis

A relationship doctrine in which a planet is received by another planet through rulership conditions, affecting how support or access is described.

Any claim that reception produces a specific result needs a more specific source-backed rule.

It links to dignities and planetary relations for more specific interaction language.

Reception can be discussed through domicile, exaltation, or other dignity relationships, and it may interact with aspects or planetary condition.

Reception describes a planet's relationship to the ruler of the sign or dignity it occupies.

Reception is closely tied to dignities, aspects, planetary condition, and medieval relation doctrines such as transfer or collection of light.

The local notes use modern traditional explanation with classical and Perso-Arabic context for rulership relationships.

The public copy paraphrases the reviewed note and keeps technical rule handling separate.

The row avoids claiming one single reception formulation across all source families.

The row does not publish concrete event outcomes from reception alone.

The seed row treats reception as a relationship and condition doctrine, not as a standalone outcome prediction.

This public row keeps that variety visible without prescribing a universal weighting scheme.

This row supports reference pages explaining reception as a way to describe planetary support or relationship through dignity rulership.
