I am wondering if astrologers nowadays still use -5 points for a retrograde planet, - 4 points for 8th/6th houses, or for example -5 points if a planet is in hard aspect with a malefic.
I use traditional planets as rulers btw, outers as 'co-rulers'. Guess you could say my approach is somewhat unorthodox.. but I'm trying to score my planets precisely as possible. The scores solar fire gives seem somewhat off... my Jupiter gets +11 points though it is exactly opposing malefics/retrograde/out of sect. any help is appreciated
