The First-Quadrant Dignities and the Four Rings of the Metaphysical Chart Correlated with Divine Numbers 3-7

Metaphysical Chart

In the center, there are five rows of planetary glyphs. The top row, labeled “Triad,” consists of the dignities of the first quadrant in four groups: rulerships, exaltations, detriments, falls.

The next row, labeled “Tetrad,” consists of the rulerships of houses 1-12, grouped by quadrant.

The next row, labeled “Pentad,” consists of the exaltations, grouped by quadrant.

The next row, labeled “Hexagon” [sic], consists of the Soul detriments, grouped by quadrant.

The last row, labeled “Septad,” consists of the falls, grouped by quadrant.

To the right of these rows is a partially completed 6-column by 7-row table. The columns divide the four types of dignities into rulerships (Being), rulerships (Life), exaltations (Intellect), detriments (Soul), detriments (Nature), and falls (Body). The rows are the seven Chaldean planets. The Mars, Venus, Sun, and Moon rows are completed. The Moon in Capricorn is a Soul detriment, so it should be listed in the Soul, not the Nature, column. If the table were completed, the rows would constitute the henads of the planets and the columns would constitute the monads of Being, Life, Intellect, Soul, Nature, and Body.
