Sun and Venus are in mutual reception by domicile, Saturn receives Sun by exaltation. If it is a day chart Sun receives Saturn by triplicity. That was easy.
Well, Sun is in domicile, term of Venus, but the exaltation, triplicity of Saturn, face of Moon.
As triplicity is considered a weak dignity, not to mention face/term, the strong dignities are domicile and exaltation.
I blame Frawley, who seriously ******* up reception, for this confusion. Rather than say Venus and Sun "want each other" (which is not entirely correct) it would be better to say Venus and the Sun are inclined to helping each other. Think of it this way. Reception is about allowing, not wanting. If a planet is received then its dispositor is obligated to see to its needs and allow it to carry out its significations to the best of its abilities. It's a host/guest relationship.
Yes, but the host is the one to put his/her entire services to the guest; so if this is mutual, I think of this as mutual interest.
If it is a career horary, then the sigs are very fond of each other and willing to perfect the matter; if it is a love horary, we cannot talk about helping.
No. This
First of all, if you must insist that one planet is in some way going to "exalt" another, you have it going the wrong way. Because Saturn receives the Sun, Saturn has to allow the Sun to carry out its office, in other words Saturn has to let the Sun do what it wants to do.
Yes - but after further digging and seeing sides, some side with first part [Saturn receives Sun] and others side with the other part [Sun idealizes Saturn].
Which in my opinion, both are correct. Sun surely finds Saturn so interesting and appealing [whatever subject we are talking about] and Saturn receives Sun, just that Sun does not have any means to deal with the situation he is currently facing [fall].
It's like the battle with L1 in 7h and L7 in h1.
Well, of course if L1 is in h7 he is very much into L7. You cannot say he is not interested because he is in detriment, but rather he is weakened by the power L7 has over him.
Can you please elaborate why not ?
One thing missing from this discussion is that true reception requires an aspect, otherwise all you have really is generosity. Sun is separating from Saturn, so whatever that represents is over. Venus currently at 27 Leo is moving slower than the Sun, so the Sun is applying to Venus with mutual reception. That has some promise, but Venus will still escape into Virgo before the Sun can perfect the sextile. So really it doesn't matter whom the Sun wants more.
Actually, the chart I was talking about - I hope I still have it, otherwise I'll talk from the memory I have of it -, Mercury was performing TOL between Sun and Saturn.
Merc rx separated from conjunction with the Sun and was in applying sextile with Saturn, while Venus/Mars/Jupiter were in 7th, but no aspect with the Sun.
Saturn was right on the MC.
I know Mercury was not in good shape; and combust it is seriously debiliated; it rules the 5th house and the 8th in the chart.
Career horaries seem much more easier than love ones - reception and dignities are not in a such continuous debate as love horaries are.
As you've already pictured, I am talking about a love chart.
