Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology Part I - Zodiac...Scorpio....
The image of the Scorpion is feminine, nocturnal, solid, terrestrial, creeping, servile, silent, fertile, poisonous, unchangeable, fierce, thievish, with many limbs, lying and of the west wind. It indicates inquiries, deception, lawsuits, fights and mysticism. Depending on the placement of the houseruler, men born under the influence of Scorpio are disproportioned and awkward, tricky, turbulent, base, covetous, lying, bitter because the Scorpion is stingy, competitive, powerful, with short head, delicate voice, round light green eyes, sharp nose, lower lip bent, coarse hair, dark, military commanders, generals, destroyers of property, thieves, murderers, traitors, burglars and haters of their own families. The front is weaker, but the back is robust.
Domicile of Mars, depression of Moon, it controls the reproductive organs, the muscular system, the urinary system, the lower gastrointestinal tract. It causes skin diseases on account of the rough skin and blindness on account of the sting. It is like-empowered with Capricorn, like-ascending with Gemini and like-engirding with Aries, and medium in both Hemispheres. It is autumnal, cold and dry for the north, and vernal, hot and moist for the south. Scorpio obeys Cancer for the north and commands it for the south. Scorpio controls Metagonitis, Mauritania, Gaetulia, Syria, Comangene and Cappadocia. The claws are rising up to the 7th degree, the head up to the 11th, the body and Antares up to the 19th, the back up to the 24th, and the sting up to the 30th.
The first 7° belong to Mars - embezzlements, dangers, travel
The next 4° belong to Venus - fortune, those who advance unexpectedly through others
The next 8° belong to Mercury - abiding, some become bankers and administrators
The next 5° belong to Jupiter - increase, advancement, inheritances
The final 6° belong to Saturn - necessity, constraint, infertile
Forehead - Mars and moderately Saturn
Body - Mars and moderately Jupiter
Joints - Saturn and moderately Venus
Sting - Mars and Mercury
M7 - Mars and the Moon
Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars as made by our predecessors. Let us now proceed with the seven-zone.

[Deleted quote of deleted attacking post. - Moderator]
Capricorn is the only sign with a rulling entity that isn't a Planet.
from a whole sign perspective.
Signs do have power
as declining Pisces has little power
while angular, especially rising or culminating Pisces has a lot of power
(as the ruler is benefic and controls a good house).
royal, bestial and solid do not equate to strong necessarilyMaybe. But consider the following:
If Leo is known as a beastial, solid and royal sign
then
is it not ''...stronger...''
than the changeable and mysterious Capricorn?
If you say it depends on the area
then that would apply for all astrology.
Hellenistic and Medieval astrologers alike (Valens and Lilly for example)
all view Capricorn as indicative of lean people, hunchbacks and barren
not characteristic of the previous with the exception of barren.
They both have the same angularity, but different strength
because of their qualities, associated with their imagery.
Traditional astrologers consider angular houses as best
so
they also make a planet - the ruler more powerful - ''...accidentally...''.
Sun in Leo > all
Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology Part I - ZodiacSun in Leo > all
Not in traditional astrology.
Keep in mind that this is the traditional board.
Only traditional astrology may be discussed here.
Sun in Leo has essential dignity by sign, yes, but
that gives it the same weight as Moon in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini or Virgo, Venus in Taurus or Libra,
Mars in Aries or Scorpio, Jupiter in Sagittarius or Pisces, and Saturn in Capricorn or Aquarius.
No more and no less.
Sun also has essential dignity, by sign, in Aries, Moon in Taurus, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Capricorn,
Saturn in Libra, and Jupiter in Cancer, because those are their exaltation signs:
an important consideration in traditional astrology.
And then we have house placement to consider.
If that Sun in Leo is tucked away in a cadent house, it's not as strong
as if it's in an angular house, or
even a succedent house.
The image of the Lion is masculine, diurnal, solid, terrestrial, quadrupedal, feral, royal, vocal, semi-infertile, passionate, fierce, running and of the north wind. It indicates action, reputation, superiors, harsh matters and quarrels. Depending on the placement of the houseruler, men born under the influence of Leo are large, distinguished, independent, reliable, just, despising flattery, haughty, irascible, daring, with fine face, smooth, small ears because the Lion rarely listens to the talk of others, higher upper part of the body, thin-set teeth, rugged, flushy, bright, imperious, stable, haters of evil, beneficent and inflated with lofty thoughts. The front is robust, but the back is weaker.
Domicile of Sun, it controls the sides, the circulatory system, the nervous system and the eyesight, especially the right eye. It causes blindness on account of the Coma Star Cluster. It is like-empowered with Aries and like-ascending with Virgo, tall in the Northern Hemisphere and short in the Southern Hemisphere. It is summery, hot and dry for the north, and wintry, cold and moist for the south. Leo commands Libra for the north and obeys it for the south. Leo controls Italy, Gaul, Apulia, Phoenicia, Chaldaea and Orchenia. The head and Regulus are rising up to the 6th degree, the front up to the 11th, the belly up to the 18th, the back up to the 24th, and the tail up to the 30th.
The first 6° belong to Jupiter - elevation, friendships with superiors
The next 5° belong to Venus - good fortune, friendships with superiors
The next 7° belong to Saturn - magnitude, of many years, infertile
The next 6° belong to Mercury - intelligent, some are winners of games
The final 6° belong to Mars - misfortune, dangers, passionate
Head - Saturn and moderately Mars
Throat - Saturn and moderately Mercury
Regulus - Jupiter and Mars
Hip and Denebola - Saturn and Venus
Thighs - Venus and moderately Mercury
Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars as made by our predecessors.

These planets are POWERFULLY PLACEDWhat will a “weak” planet in a “strong” position do?
Eg Mars in Cancer but conjunct the Asc (to a very strong degree)
or Moon in Capricorn conj Desc?
Will they be powerfully weak?
Asking out of curiosity as well as personal interest, as
I have powerfully weak placements! (Lol)
No sign is intrinsically strong or weak.
It is made so by the planets in it (or the lack thereof,)
and by its position amidst the house cusps.
Just for example, as the mutable water sign, we might see Pisces as "...weak..."
but if someone has Pisces in the 10th house with the MC, sun and Jupiter (domiciled) there
with Jupiter trining the (domiciled) moon in Cancer,
Mr. Pisces has a lot of strength in this situation.
Much more so than the sun intercepted in Scorpio (fixed water) in the 12th house.
You get the picture.
There is no such thing as a weak sign.
There are weak placements, but no weak signs.
Signs are neutral.
They have descriptions, sure
like human, mute, violent, bestial, fertile, barren
crooked, long ascending, and on and on,
but at the end of the day, the signs are neutral.
It's the planets both in and that rule them that bring them to life.
Hi
There are No weak sun signs.
To say there is, it is belittling astrology.
There are natal charts that indicate a weak personality.
Charts lack of hard aspects,
(especially from saturn to personal planets)
with full of trines and sextiles may point to a weak person.
when there are tough transits, they easily feel depressed and they become paralyzed and Can't cope with problems.
Because,they are not familiar to that kind of stressful energy.
keep in mind the table of ESSENTIAL DIGNITIES"there is no such thing as a weak sign"
