Explanation on this Table

The 1st column headed 'Sign' shows the essential planetary

dignities/debilties that apply to all the degrees in the sign. For further
information see:

Understanding Planetary Dignities and Debility.

Ptolemy's Table of Essential Dignities.

The 2nd column headed 'Dg.' lists the degrees. Remember that:

'dg. 1' refers to the first degree which incorporates 0°00' - 0°59;
'dg. 2' thus equates to 1°00' - 1°59;
and so on, ending with 'dg. 30' which equates to 29°00 - 29°59

10 von 13 21.05.23, 03:47

Zodiac Degree Influences https://www.skyscript.co.uk/deginf1.html#note

The 3rd column headed 'T.' shows the planet that rules the degree by
term. For further information see:

Understanding Planetary Dignities and Debility.

The 4th column headed 'F.' shows the planet that rules the degree by
face. For further information see:

Understanding Planetary Dignities and Debility.

The 5th column headed 'G.' (for 'gender') indicates whether the degree
is masculine or feminine according to Lilly's 'Two necessary TABLES of the
Signs, fit to be understood by every ASTROLOGER or Practitioner' (CA.,
p.116). Consideration of whether the Moon and principle significator falls in
a masculine or feminine degree is used in horary matters relating to the sex
of a thief or unborn chld. Lilly writes of this:

Masculine or feminine

Many times it happens, that it is of great concernment to the Querent to

know whether a woman be with child of a male or female; or whether
the thief be man or woman, &c. When it shall so chance that neither the
angles, or the sex of the planet, or the signs do discover it, but that the
testimonies are equal; then if you consider the degrees of the sign
wherein the Moon is, and wherein the planet significator of the thing or
party quesited is, and the degree of the cusp of the house signifying the
person quesited after; and see whether they be in masculine or feminine
degrees, you may pose your judgement, by concluding a masculine
party, if they be posited in masculine degrees; or feminine, if they be in
feminine degrees. (CA., p.117)

The scheme is also presented in Al Biruni's Elements (v.457) with the

following variances (marked in the table by an asterick):

In Aries, the 8th degree is marked as female, not male.

In Aquarius, the 13th, 14th, 15th, 28th, 29th and 30th degrees are
classified as male not female. The 19th, 20th, 21st, 26th and 27th
degrees are classified as female not male.

In Pisces, the 13th, 14th, 15th, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th degrees
are denoted male not female.

Al Biruni makes it clear he is presenting the method, not approving of its

use.

The 6th column headed 'L.' (for 'luminosity') indicates whether the
degree is light (L), dark (D), smokey (S), or void (V) according to Lilly's
'Two necessary TABLES of the Signs, fit to be understood by every
ASTROLOGER or Practitioner' (CA., p.116). A similar table, with some
variations, is also found in Al Biruni's Elements (v. 458). These are
considered for the ascendant and Moon in horary and natal judgements in
determining physical structure and capability. Lilly writes:

Light or dark

Let a sign ascend in a Nativity or Question, if the Ascendant be in those

degrees you see are called light, the child or querent shall be more fair;
if the degree ascending be of those we call dark, his complexion shall be

11 von 13 21.05.23, 03:47

Zodiac Degree Influences https://www.skyscript.co.uk/deginf1.html#note

nothing so fair, but more obscure and dark; and if he be born deformed,
the deformity shall be more and greater; but if he be deformed when
the light degrees of a sign ascend, the imperfection shall be more
tolerable. (CA., p.117)

Void

And if the Moon or the degree ascending be in those degrees we call

void, be the Native or Querent fair or foul, his understanding will be
small, and his judgement less than the world supposes, and the more
thou conferest with him, the greater defect shall be found in him. (CA.,
p.117)

Smoky

If the Ascendant, the Moon or either of them be in those degrees we call

smoky, the person inquiring or Native, shall neither be very fair nor very
foul, but of a mixed complexion, stature or condition, between fair and
foul, between tall and of little Stature, and so in condition neither very
judicious or a very ass. (CA., pp.117-118)

The 7th column headed 'Others' indicates the degrees listed as 'pitted or
deep' (Deep), 'deficient or lame' (Lame), or 'increasing fortune' (I.F.)
according to Lilly's 'Two necessary TABLES of the Signs, fit to be understood
by every ASTROLOGER or Practitioner' (CA., p.116). Lilly defines them thus:

Pitted or deep

Degrees deep or pitted … have this signification, that if either the Moon
or the degree ascending or lord of the Ascendant be in any of them, it
shows the man at a stand in the question he asks, not knowing which
way to turn himself and that he had need of help to bring him into a
better condition; for as a man cast into a ditch doth not easily get out
without help, so no more can this querent in the case he is without
assistance. (CA., p.118)

Lame or Deficient

Called by some azimene degrees, … the meaning whereof is thus, if in

any question you find him that demands the question, or in a nativity, if
you find the native defective in any member, or infected with an
inseparable disease, halting, blindness, deafness, &c., you may then
suppose the native hath either one of these azimene degr. ascending at
his birth, or the lord of the Ascendant, or the Moon in one of them. In a
question or nativity, if you see the querent lame naturally, crooked, or
vitiated in some member, and on the sudden you can in the figure give
no present satisfaction to your self, do you then consider the degree
ascending, or degree wherein the Moon is in, or the lord of the
Ascendant, or principal lord of the nativity or question, and there is no
doubt that you shall find one or more of them in azimene degrees. (CA.,
p.118)

Increasing fortune

These degrees … tend to this understanding, that if the cusp of the

second house, or if the lord of the second house, or Jupiter, or the Part

12 von 13 21.05.23, 03:47

Zodiac Degree Influences https://www.skyscript.co.uk/deginf1.html#note

of Fortune be in any of those degrees, it's an argument of much wealth,

and that the native or querent will be rich. (CA., p.118)

The 8th and final column indicates the fixed stars located in each degree.
Those listed in red, link through to details of the influences ascribed to the
star, which are best understood with consideration of the meaning of their
parent constellation. 1st magnitude stars are listed in bold.

The star catalogue is a work in progress and new links to stars will be
added as they become profiled on the site.
