Jupiter is Not peregrine.On the contrary,
although Jupiter is STRONGLY PLACED
because of being ANGULAR in 4th as mentioned
HOWEVER
Jupiter is far from happy
because
this natal charts shows natal Jupiter is in Exile and Peregrine
as far away from home as Jupiter can possibly be
because
Jupiter is in the Sign OPPOSITE to Jupiter's home territory, Sagittarius
Mixed Mutual Reception does not save Jupiter from being peregrine
i.e.
Jupiter has no dignity at 29 Gemini
because at that degree
Jupiter has no essential dignity of either domicile, exaltation, triplicity, term or face
HOWEVER
Jupiter does have the ACCIDENTAL DIGNITY of being STRONGLY PLACE IN 4TH ANGULAR HOUSE
and so
your natal Jupiter is not particularly happy
BUT
IS strongly placed
and
therefore able to act
According to Robert Hand ANY mutual reception, including a mixed mutual reception involving even minor dignities such as term and face will cancel out peregrine status. I agree with Hand, youre free to think however you like, just dont try to pawn your opinions off as universal truth.
Although a sextile is a promising aspect
Your natal Mercury only just escapes being peregrine
because Mercury's dignity in Aries is SOLELY by TERM in only 7 of those degrees according to LILLY
but 8 of those degrees according to THE EGYPTIAN TERMS
as clearly shown by these tables
MERCURY IS not peregrine. Youre arguing that mercury is nearly out of his term, even though he still is in it natally? Ok.
According to Maternus: a planet in its own term it is just as if its located in its own sign. I woulldnt go this far, but I definitely think that term is a bit more substancial a dignity than the 2 point value that Lilly assigns it.
Triplicity is not as strong a dignity as domicile? Really??? Tell me more....Any reception is better than none
however reception by Triplicity is not as strong as reception by domicile
And Mercury is being received by an unhappy,
but strongly placed to act,
Peregrine Jupiter who has no dignity and lacks resources
and
therefore Jupiter is not of much assistance to Mercury
who receives a debilated Jupiter who is lacking in resources
Jupiter's sole strength is angularity
and since Jupiter is generally in a debilitated state
then that's increasing Jupiter's misery
Again Jupiter being peregrine is just an opinion, one that many would disagree with.
A mutual reception imo is an exchange of dignities with each recieving the dignity the planets would recieve in the others place. Some authours have said that the 2 planets exchange places, this statement can be found in Astrology for the authentic self by Demetra George. I dont go that far, but I have found it best to add up whatever dignity and debility there is for the planet in whatever sign it is in and then add whatever dignities it would get in the sign of the planet it has mutual reception with.
If you feel different thats fine, but dont try to impose your limited view on the world, for someone with jupiter in the ascendant youd think youd have more understanding of how different ways of doing things may work for different astrologers.
