The Influence of the Stars: A book of old world lore. Rosa Baughan

      It will be seen, at once, from this table that the Sun and Moon have each only one house assigned them. All planets are most powerful in that sign which constitutes one of their houses. Planets receive detriment in the signs opposite to those of their houses. Thus, Saturn would receive detriment in Cancer and Leo, which are the signs opposite to his houses, Capricornus and Aquarius. There are some signs in which the planets are found to be very powerful, though not to the same extent as when in their own houses; these are called the "exaltations" of the planets, and the signs opposite to these are those in which they receive their "fall" when they are considered to be weak in power. Saturn has his exaltation in Libra; his "fall" would therefore be in Aries. He governs the airy triplicity, which is composed of the signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius by day, and in all the twelve signs he has these degrees (zodiacal signs) allotted him by Ptolemy for his Terms:

In Aries	27, 28, 29, 30.
In Taurus	23, 24, 25, 26.
In Gemini	22, 23, 24, 25.
In Cancer	28, 29, 30.
In Leo	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Virgo	19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
In Libra	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Scorpio	28, 29, 30.
In Sagittarius	21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
In Capricornus	26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Aquarius	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Pisces	27, 28, 29, 30.

      The meaning of which is that if Saturn should rise in any of these degrees it is a sign that he is not void of essential dignities; or, if he is posited in any of the following degrees (which he is allowed for his Face or Decanate) he is still not devoid of dignities. This is to be understood of all the planets.

      Saturn is allotted for his Face these degrees:

In Taurus	21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Leo	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
In Libra	11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
In Sagittarius	21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Pisces	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

      Jupiter has his exaltation in Cancer and his fall in Capricornus. He rules the fiery triplicity, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, by night.

      He has these degrees allotted for his Terms:

In Aries	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Taurus	16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
In Gemini	8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
In Cancer	7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
In Leo	20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
In Virgo	14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
In Libra	12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
In Scorpio	7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
In Sagittarius	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
In Capricornus	13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
In Aquarius	21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
In Pisces	9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

      He has for his Face, or Decanate:

Of Gemini	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Of Leo	11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Of Libra	21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
Of Capricornus	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Of Pisces	11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

      Mars has Aries for his day-house and Scorpio for his night-house. He is exalted in Capricornus, and has his fall in Cancer.

      He governs the watery Triplicity, viz., Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and he has these degrees in each sign for his Terms:

In Aries	22, 23, 24, 25, 26.
In Taurus	27, 28, 29, 30.
In Gemini	26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Cancer	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Leo	26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Virgo	25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
In Scorpio	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
In Aquarius	26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
