Three Perspectives on Saturn in Aries

Saturn in Aries

The top row consists of the dignities of house 1, labeled “The One” and correlated with the divine number 1. Each planet has two lines raying out below it, which indicate the double act or Dyad, correlated with the divine number 2.

The next row consists of the dignities of houses 1-3, grouped as rulerships, exaltations, detriments, and falls, labeled “Triad” and correlated with the divine number 3.

The next row consist of the rulerships of houses 1-12, grouped by quadrant from first quadrant to fourth quadrant (reading left to right). This is labeled “Tetrad” and is correlated with the divine number 4.

Below the rulerships of houses 10-12 are the exaltations, detriments, and falls of houses 10-12. The dignities of houses 10-12 (the fourth quadrant) are bracketed under Saturn in Aries (in the Triad), indicating that the latter is the source of both the mind and matter of the fourth quadrant, but they are also bracketed by Jupiter (Jupiter in Sagittarius) because the forms imposed on matter come from the Demiurge.

In the lower left, there are two columns of signs below Saturn in Aries (which is in fall in Aries). On the left are the rest of the planets in fall, which together with Saturn in Aries, constitute the Body monad, and on the right are the rest of the signs in which Saturn is in dignity, which constitute the Saturn henad.
