The Idea of Man in Soul or Life, with Demiurgic Intellect and Particular Soul

Idea of Man

The circle is divided into four quadrants representing the zodiacal signs of Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio (houses 5-8). The planets inside the circle are the dignities of these houses in the following order: rulership, exaltation, and detriment and fall together.

There are two sets of planets around the outside of the circle. The set closest to the circle consists of the exaltations of houses 9-12, then the detriments of houses 9-12, and then the rulerships of houses 9-12. Damiani sometimes refers to this configuration of dignities as the “Partial Soul ring” or “[Dragon’s] Tail ring.”

The set outside this consists of the dignities of houses 9-12 distributed so that the house-9 dignities are in the first quadrant, the house-10 dignities are in the second quadrant, the house-11 dignities are in the third quadrant, and the house-12 dignities are in the fourth quadrant. Damiani sometimes refers to this configuration of dignities as the “Jupiter ring” or “Demiurgic Intellect ring.”
