The Dignities of the Third and Fourth Quadrants and the Henads Associated with Them

Henads

This diagram is a continuation of image J01. The top line of planetary glyphs consists of the ten dignities of houses 7-9 (third quadrant), and the bottom line consists of the ten dignities of houses 9-12 (fourth quadrant). Each line is divided into four groups: rulerships, exaltations, detriments, and falls.

Each planet has zodiacal signs listed below, above, or both below and above it. These signs are the other signs in which that planet is in dignity, 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 rulership (Being) comes before the rulership (Life) and the detriment (Nature) comes before the detriment (Soul). The result is that some signs are listed above and others below the planet in the list. (In some similar diagrams, the Nature detriment comes after the Soul detriment.) The blue handwriting at the bottom seems to refer to some other diagrams in this sketchbook because of the reference to the colors red, green, and blue—namely, J03-J05.
