Table of the Essential Dignities of the Planets, &c.

[p. 73] Every planet has two signs for his houses, except Sol and Luna; they but one each. ♄ has ♑ and ♒; and ♃ has ♐ and ♓; ♂ has ♈ and ♏; ♀ has ♉ and ♎; ☿ has ♊ and ♍. One of these houses is called diurnal, noted in the second column by the letter D; the other is nocturnal, noted by the letter N. The planets have their exaltations, as the third column points out: thus ☉ in 19 ♈; ☽ in 3 ♉; ☊ in 3 degrees ♊, &c. are exalted. These twelve signs are divided into four triplicities. The fourth column tells you which planet or planets, both night and day, governs each triplicity; as over against ♋, ♏, ♓, you find ♂, who governs by day and night in that triplicity; and over against ♈, ♌, ♐, you find ☉ and ♃, viz. that ☉ has domination by day, and ♃ by night, in that triplicity: the first six degrees of ♈ are the terms of ♃, from six to fourteen, the terms of ♀, &c. &c. Over against ♈, in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth columns, you find ♂ 10, ☉ 20, ♀ 30; viz. the first ten degrees of ♈ are the face of ♂; from ten to twenty, the face of ☉; from twenty to thirty, the face of ♀, &c.

In the thirteenth column, over against ♈, you find ♀ detriment, viz. ♀ being in ♈, is in a sign opposite to one of her own houses, and so is said to be in her detriment. In the 14th column, over against ♈, you find ♄, over his head fall, that is, ♄ when he is in ♈ is opposite to his exaltation, and so is unfortunate, &c. Though these things are expressed in the nature of the planets already, yet this table makes it appear more evident to the eye, and is useful for reference.
