Question about "peregrine" planets
Hi! I've been reading about "Essential Dignities" and I noticed something. Each planet seems to have, at most, THREE signs it does particularly "well" in. Thus, it has three that it does particularly "poorly" in.(I put "well" and "poorly" in quotes because modern astrologers are of the opinion that every placement has its strengths and weaknesses. Which is a good position to have, since some people may have few, or even no planets in traditionally "good" placements.) For example, Venus has domiciles in Taurus and Libra, and exaltation in Pisces. Meaning she is in detriment in Aries/Scorpio, and fallen in Virgo. The essential dignities state that domicile is worth +5 points, exaltation +4. Detriment and fall are -5/-4, respectively. But another dignity (or lack thereof) is "peregrine"-a planet that is neither in domicile/detriment, nor exaltation/fall. Apparently, peregrine planets get the same -5 as planets in ...
