They rise into a cadent House though, which supposed to be a weak position compared to an angular House.

It is inoperative, because it is declining from an angle. Personally I regard the 12th as more operative than the 6th and 3rd though.

Angles are the places where the planets reach their maximum influence and where they directly strike the place of birth, though I follow Ptolemy in regarding the Dsc and Ic as weaker than the ascensions and post-ascensions of the Asc and Mc (1,2,10,11), for the qualitative (Dsc) and quantitative (Ic) reasons I mentioned.

Earth is a solid object, with considerable mass. So, Earth would block their rays. But now you're saying that they aren't emitting an influence, so why would distance from the Earth be a factor?

As I mentioned, light has never been the only factor in astrology since then we should give equal status to the brighter non-wandering stars with some of the planets, which is silly.

Btw, how do the Nodes fit in with the size/distance ratio theory?

The nodes are abstract mathematical points of the Moon, the closest heavenly body and one that is very influential.

When Ouranos/Caelus was castrated by his son Kronos/Saturn, his genitals fell into the sea. He became the sperm donor for the goddess personifying the sea, Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon/Neptune, and the sea gave birth to Aphrodite/Venus. Ouranos/Caelus is the biological father of Aphrodite/Venus!

Does this silly myth tell us anything about life?

This also makes Poseidon/Neptune her stepfather.

Caelus was the Roman name for Ouranos.

I have a "thing"
about the dishonest, disrespectful name "Uranus",
which masquerades as a Latin name for the ancient god
that the Romans actually called "Caelus".

It's neither Greek nor Latin.

In Hurria in eastern Anatolia the Hurrian god Anus
was originally the cup bearer
for an even older heavenly ruler, Alalus.
After nine years Anus defeated and overthrew his master
dispatching him to under the earth
Similar to Zeus' overthrow of Kronos or his defeat
 and casting into Tartaros of the Titans
The sky god Anu aka Anus equates to the Sumerian An/Anu, Ouranos, and Varuna
though there was no Earth consort in this myth.
However, the overthrow of this primordial sky god
closely parallels both the Sumerian and Greek versions :smile:
He took his seat on the throne and had Kumarbis as his cupbearer.
Likewise, after nine years
Kumarbis rebelled and usurped the rule of Anus who fled to the sky.
Kumarbis also bit off and swallowed his phallus
which detail parallels Kronos' castration of Ouranos.

In this act Anus had some revenge
by impregnating Kumarbis with the Storm-god
the god of the Aranzahas (Tigris) river, and Tasmisus.
Anus then hid himself in heaven.
After the Storm-god's 'birth' or regurgitation
this triad plotted to destroy Kumarbis
and, with his other children, succeeded.

Although this part of the Hurrian story diverges somewhat from the Greek
we can still recognize that this impregnating of Kumarbis equates to Kronos' swallowing his children before both finally regurgitating them.

In Spanish, it's "Urano", which is an honest contraction of the Greek, again,
NOT Roman name, "Ouranos", meaning "of the Heavens".

The respective children overthrew both of these gods
of whom the 'Storm-god' was the leader in both myths.
The 'impregnation' of Kumarbis also reflects another theme
recalled in such myths as Zeus' swallowing of his pregnant wife Metis
before 'giving birth' to Athena from his head
 - a theme that is otherwise very strange to the other Indo-European peoples.
