IRAI:Dignities and Debilities

Table of essential dignities and debilities

Each astrological sign and house is governed by at least one planet (or body). The planet is said to rule that sign or house. In the opposing sign and/or house, the planet is in its detriment or fall.

Example: Aries is ruled by Mars and is opposite of Libra. Mars in Libra would be considered in detriment. A planet that is positively placed is considered exalted if in the sign that is complementary. Example: Mars in Aries would be considered dignified or dignity. It would be exalted in Capricorn and Fall in Cancer the opposite of the exaltation. See the Table of Planetary Rulership. Depending on the practice of the Astrologer, there are three different sets of Planetary Rulers: Modern, Ancient and Esoteric.
