I found it working in practice but leads to this paradoxical situation we find above. So, any ideas? </p> http://www.hellenisticastrology.com/forum/topic/essential-dignity-vs-reception#post-7 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:52:41 +0000 Chris Brennan 7@http://www.hellenisticastrology.com/forum/ <p>Sorry, I didn't realize that you had posted this.

Venus has no essential dignity, so it is peregrine (-5)(or exile, or in aversion) . Theory says that a planet with no dignity can not receive.<br /> Yet the Moon is in its exaltation. The question is: If the Lord of the Zoidia can not receive the Planet in its Dignity, should the affairs promissed by that Planet be considered as if they will not come to pass?<br /> What hellenistic texts deal with this issue? </p>
