The Dignities of the First Quadrant (the One) and the Henads Associated with Them

Henads

The row of planets, labeled “The Idea of the Good,” is the dignities of the first quadrant in four groups (rulerships, exaltations, detriments, falls), which are labeled “One,” “Being, “Essence or Life,” “Intellect.” The signs above and below each planet are the other dignities of that planet and all together they constitute the henad of the planet. The signs in which the planet is in dignity, when read from top to bottom, are in the following order: rulerships, exaltations, detriments, and falls (and when a planet has two rulerships or two detriments, the sign that comes first in the order of zodiacal signs comes first). The result is that some signs are listed above and others below the planet in the list.
