Equal Power
"the parts which are equally removed from the same tropical sign, whichever it may be, are of equal
power, because when the sun comes into either of them the days are equal to the days, the nights to the nights, and the lengths of their own hours are the same. These also are said to "behold" one another, both for the reasons stated and because each of the pair rises from the same part of the horizon and sets in the same part."

"For example, suppose you receive a letter or
message from someone and you wish to know the intentions of the sender, whether the message was tampered with in some way, etc.; to find these things out, cast the chart for the moment you received the letter. Or suppose you wish to know the course of someone's illness; cast the chart for the moment he took to his bed." See Decumbiture.
Event-Oriented Astrology
Psychological Astrology, this more traditional view presupposes a way of looking at the world as a series of events, rather than psychological states. In this way it can be
seen as a product of Descartes and Newton, but there is more to it than the "clockwork universe". Human beings are seen as products of the environment, but this primarily consists in the interaction of cosmic energies, the expression of the Anima Mundi, or world-being. Although on the surface it may seem deterministic and even fatalistic, it actually reflects the underlying view that the
world is more a being than a thing and that ritual and other remedies such as gems, mantras etc can affect destiny, attracting good fortune and deflecting the slings and arrows of misfortune.
Exaltation

Exile
detriment, opposing its home sign, or domicile. A debility. When a planet is in exile (detriment) it generates contrary influences. Now rare.
