Cosmic dignity of the rulers: the ability for self-realization

It is a measure of the quantity and quality of planetary energy, which will give us a
idea of the individual's capacity for achievement, without external help, in a specific context
area of life, whether by presence, regency or analogy. And all this aside from the
facilities or difficulties that the subject may encounter due to a possible aspect
harmonic (ease) or dissonant (difficulty).

We will say that a planet is cosmically worthy when it is domiciled or

exalted by its position in a certain sign; and unworthy if it is in exile or in fall. If
this pilgrim will be worthy only for matters that are his own, but he will be
subordinate to the dignity of its disposing planet (the ruler of the sign in which he
find).

Tradition attributes very specific positions to the exaltation of the planets, a degree
exactly of the zodiac. Take the exaltation of the Sun as an example, which is found at the degree
20º (twentieth) of Aries (between the 19th and the 20th). The zodiac is not considered as a
indefinite succession of points of infinitesimal amplitude, but as spaces of 1/360 of
the circumference (the infinite, the whole). It is correct to attribute to all Aries, from 0 to 30 degrees,
the quality favorable to the expression of the solar (spirit, conviction, assertiveness,
energy, irradiation), but perhaps it is in the vicinity of the 20th degree, where the Sun is

When a planet is in fall, it experiences the opposite of exaltation: "it lacks

The decanates are divisions of 10° in which the planets act with some effectiveness, although it would be necessary to
consider whether they are unworthy at the opposite points of the zodiac:

To know if a person tends towards satisfaction or, on the contrary, towards frustration,
we will observe the dignity of the AS regent. This is not in contradiction with the
possibility of achieving what one proposes (planet worthy cosmically present in
the ASC). This would be the case of an ASC in Aries, with Mars, its ruler, in Taurus.

it will never seem enough.

We can do the same with the cosmic dignity of each peak if we want to see the
satisfaction or frustration in every area of life. But in the overall picture, who is most
the ruler of the ASC will weigh. The ruler of the angular houses (ASC, MC, DSC, IC) will be
the one that will weigh the most compared to the other houses.
However, instead of just classifying a person as 'satisfied' or
"frustrated", which would constitute a simplistic appreciation, we must distinguish the degree
of satisfaction according to the nature of the realms of life or areas of experience:

PERSONAL (fire): AS, house 5, house 9.

MATERIAL (earth): MC, house 2, house 6.
SOCIAL OR INTELLECTUAL (air): DS, house 11, house 3.
EMOTIONAL (water): FC, house 8, house 12.

Whenever we are going to interpret a house, we must first consider the

degree and satisfaction that the subject aims for. Figures 1 and 2 show us the example of
a house 7 with Venus (exiled) and Mars (domiciled) in the sign of Scorpio.

Fig. 1: Ruler of 7 exiled and planet currently domiciled.

In the case of figure 1, with the cusp of 7 in Libra, the subject tends towards dissatisfaction.

As an example to analyze the frustrations in the complete natal chart of a character

we will use the case of Sigmund Freud, who dedicated a good part of his life to
analyze the frustrations, and we will proceed considering the cosmic dignity of the
regents of the houses grouping them according to areas of experience:

PERSONAL
AS: Mars exiled (and Pluto too).
House 5: Jupiter domiciled (and Neptune too).
House 9: Wandering Moon; Mercury (its dispositor) as well; Venus (its dispositor)

between Venus and Mars (and Pluto), which helped him overcome his personal frustrations: His
good education (Venus) proved useful for achieving its objectives (Mars, as ruler
of AS).

MATERIAL
MC: Wandering sun; Venus (its dispositor) in exile.
House 2: Jupiter in domicile.
House 6: Exiled Mars.

Also here the tendency to frustration is considerable, and also overcome with the
help from the aforementioned mutual reception. Jupiter in domicile assures an achievement.

SOCIAL
DS: Exiled Venus.
House 11: Mercury peregrine; Venus (its dispositor) in exile.
House 3: Wandering Saturn; Mercury (its dispositor) as well; Venus (its dispositor)
exiled.

Here we would find their greatest frustration, but we have already seen that Venus can
resort to the combativeness of its disposer (Mars) to overcome its limitations in the
relationships with others.

EMOTIONAL
FC: Wandering Saturn; Mercury (its dispositor) as well; Venus (its dispositor)
exiled. Uranus in fall.
House 8: Mercury in exile; Venus (its dispositor) in exile.
House 12: Exiled Venus.

Here we could say the same. And we will add that the fact of not having any planet
