Did you know that Reception can occur in an Orgy?
For example, as I write this we have (the):
1. Moon in Cancer
2. Mercury in Taurus
3. Jupiter in Aquarius
This 3 way Reception occurs strictly by Exaltation, as the Moon is pleased in Taurus; Mercury is pleased in Aquarius and Jupiter is pleased in Cancer.
This, as stated, can also occur with even more planets added to the party.
For example, I have a client born 7-31-82 @ 01:05:00 in Buffalo, NY. In his chart you will see he has (the):
1. Moon in Sagittarius
2. Venus in Cancer
3. Mars in Libra
4. Jupiter in Scorpio
This 4 way Reception occurs strictly by Domicile, as the Moon is home in Cancer; Venus is home in Libra; Mars is home in Scorpio; Jupiter is home in Sagittarius.
If planets are in Aspect to each other, they are likely to be the most active of the bunch. It is said by Medieval astrologers that in order for a Reception to occur at all, the planets MUST be in aspect to each other. That was the whole deal. And so Jupiter in Capricorn and Saturn in Sagittarius would not be considered in Mutual Reception, because they are adjacent signs, and adjacent signs do not aspect one another. Instead, this was known as Generosity, a form of Reception, but not quite as powerful. Nevertheless, it is quite active, I am sure.
I have found that Reception or Generosity between more than 2 planets/signs is indeed an extremely fortunate occurrence, especially when none of the planets are in their Fall or Detriment, and that they form aspects to each other, and are present on any of the 4 Angles.
The Multiple Reception indicates that many different facets of life fused together, and able to exchange "words" amongst themselves as to the proper course of action. Instead of words, we can use the classical term Rays. This Reception likely indicates some laziness, similar to that of a Grand Trine, which is an Aspect Pattern.
This concept of Multiple Reception is particularly important, because in certain various horoscopy, especially horary, Reception by orgy may give amnesty to certain Significators who were otherwise thought to be peregrine.
It takes either a good software program or a great eye to spot these occurrences, and I for one, wear glasses.
Also, since we are so close to the topic -- let us address the concept of "Mixed Reception." This is when one Planet finds Reception by visiting an Exaltation of another, and in turn that Planet finds Reception by visiting the Domicile of the Planet to whom he is receiving by Exaltation. The term "mixing" of course comes from mixing Domicile and Exaltation. William Lilly noted this in Christian Astrology.
Our example is from my own natal chart, where we see (the):
1. Moon in Scorpio
2. Mars in Taurus
This 2 way Reception occurs by "Mixed Reception," as the Moon is Exalted in Taurus where he is pleased; Mars is in his Domicile in Scorpio, where he is at home.
This is not as powerful as Reception by purely Exaltation or Domicile, yet it is nevertheless quite strong.
Remarkably in my instance, the Reception between these two planets is considerably valid, because there are two other forms of Reception occurring, for a total of three ways they receive each other.
The other two are: Reception by Triplicity and Reception by Face. This is using the Chaldean order of the planets.
Because Mars is on an Angle, and because these two Planets are in Aspect (by Opposition, applying 9*), there is an extremely potent exchange of courage and steadiness, although as one would expect, it took many years to settle into this more stable pattern than what is normally encouraged by any Moon-Mars Opposition.
This is because the Final Dispositer of the chart has the last word in the life of the native. The Mars-Moon Opposition was active in its aggressive, rash behavior early in my life; later things came to settle in their Dispositorships, as does a Moon in Taurus emotionally, and a Mars in Scorpio energetically.
