Accidental Dignity

The best positioning in Angular Houses is of the Unintended Dignities: first, the Tenth; then, in order, the First, Seventh and Fourth Houses. Next up are the Successor Houses, with the weakest Cadent Houses.

According to older authorities, other unintended dignities are: favorable aspects to Fortune; liberation from combustion; favorable aspects of benefics; quick in motion and growing in light; and in a house corresponding to the Sign of its Vital Dignity, corresponding to Leo, as the Sun in the Fifth House; Moon in the Fourth House, corresponding to Cancer; Mercury, equivalent to Gemini and Virgo in the Third or Sixth House, and so on.

However, contemporary officials generally confine the usage of the term to placement or height of the building. Accidental honor is not inherently benevolent. If conveyed by unfavorable features, the increased intensity can result harmfully. A character - index of value is the number of planets that are mistakenly dignified. A earth positioned by means of Necessary or Unintended integrity so as to achieve power does not inherently confer a benign nature.

A significator that is exalted, angular, and not afflicted, for instance, implies a person of brazen vanity, expecting more than is due to him. From Charles E. 0. Carter assumes that a planet gains quantitatively, but not qualitatively, through its own sign; i.e., its influence is enhanced, but not inherently beneficial. As described by Wilson, point values by which to measure the relative intensity of the Accidental Dignities are:

In relation to the totals of the Debilities, the totals of the Dignities provide a determination of the planet's possible power. Owing to the intensity that each assumes in a birth, the ability to trigger will become apparent:

Sun......builds

Moon.....nourishes

Mercury..communicates

Venus....allures

Mars.....energizes

Jupiter..expands

Saturn...endures

Uranus...perceives

Neptune..dissolves

Pluto....consolidates
