Clarification

I was reading the horary rules for love/romance and re-read this line a few times

"The matter is most promising when the significators are in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), or in the dignities of Venus."

what does "or in the dignities of venus" mean, exactly?

thank you

Same thing.

Venus rules the earth triplicity by day so when Venus is in any earth sign it is in the triplicity of Venus. In a Table of Essential Dignities you'll see that the first six degrees of Capricorn are in the terms of Venus, for example. But be aware that they go from 0?01 to 6?, etc. Terms of Mercury start at 6?01. Same with faces. First 10? of Aquarius is Venus, etc.

Not trying to be difficult but I want to be certain I understand.

When it says to be in the dignities of Venus Does it only mean sign and exhaultation or does it also mean the terms, face or triplicity?

thank you

Granny.

The triplicity, terms, or face are also the dignities of Venus, yes. We normally refer to sign and exaltation rulership as the major dignities, and the triplicity, terms and face as the minor dignities. Obviously, the promising factor of being in the dignities of Venus in this matter is reduced with the lesser dignities.
