Beloved,
Here are the Egyptian Bounds.

Dexter is when the faster moving planet looks backwards in the Zodiac and makes an aspect.
Sinister is when the faster moving planet aspects a planet that is ahead of it in Zodiacal Longitude.
It's very important to understand, because the planet on the right further in Diurnal Motion will always beat out the other planets. And thus, it is better to have a Benefic on the right, rather than a Malefic !
Did you know that the term Aspect actually means "to see," or "sight?" The entire construct of aspects is created by the ability of a planet "to see" another planet. That is why there were no weird sesqiquadrates, or bi-septiles in the classical period (those can after Kepler). Everything was based on visibility.
