Table for Calculating Planetary Values
Note: Accidental Dignity is more significant than Essential Dignity in the interpretation of a chart, although both are important. The unfortunate influence of a malefic is usually diminished when in dignity, whilst the fortunate influence of a benefic is increased. Please consult our online Glossary of Astrological Terms for more information.
