A planet in his fall is very weak in his influence. The Houses count first in dignity, then the Exaltation; afterwards the Triplicity, the Terms, and the Faces.
The meaning of this is, if a planet is in any of the signs we call his house or houses, he is essentially strong, and he is allowed five dignities.
If he is in the sign in which he is said to be exalted, he is allowed four dignities.
If he should be placed in any of the signs allowed him for his Triplicity, he is allowed three dignities.
If in any of the degrees in the signs which are given as his Terms, he has two dignities.
If in any of the degrees of the sign given to him as his Face, he is allowed one essential dignity. Accidental dignities are when a planet is swift in motion, angular or in sextile aspect with Jupiter or Venus.
