Chart as above generated by Astrolog; edited to include Part of Fortune (POF) and Asteroids (Chiron, Ceres, Juno, Pallas, Vesta).
1. Day birth? Y/N
Y = Begin with the Sun ==> Go to #2
2. Evaluate the Sun ==> Go to #2a
2a. Is it in an angular house (1, 4, 7, 10)?
N = Go to #2b
2b. Is it in a succedent house (1, 5, 8, 11)
Yes ...
and in a masculine sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius)?
N = Go to #2c
2c. Is it in a masculine quarter (houses 4, 5, 6, or houses 10, 11, 12)
and in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
[NOTE: These are also referred to as the lords of the five dignities.]
(See Table of Dignities.)
Aspect to Mercury, ruler of sign ==> No
Aspect to Jupiter, ruler of term ==> Yes, trine
Aspect to Mercury, ruler of exaltation ==> No
Aspect to Venus, ruler of triplicity ==> No
Aspect to Venus, ruler of face ==> No
NOTE: In the times of Al-Khayyat and those of Heller and Schoener (the
translators from Arabic to Latin), the triplicities were handled
differently than they are listed in the Ptolomeic chart. For this
example, I am using the table as given on this site. You may wish
to explore the Chaldean dignities, which are linked on the
dignities page at the bottom, and these alternative triplicities
from Lee Lehman's site, (http://www.leelehman.com/pages/Triplicity.html).
DISCUSSION: Notice that upon the examination of aspects from the lords
of the five dignities, it becomes apparent that the Sun is not
strongly aspected overall, lending further weight to my decision to
keep looking. Examining the other aspects, and seeing that the Sun
is badly aspected by both of the major malefics, I am particularly
uncomfortable with the idea of selecting it for the Hyleg. Jupiter,
the lord of the Sun's term, is in Capricorn in its fall, adding yet
more concern.
N = Go to #3
3. Evaluate the Moon ==> Go to #3a
3a. Is it in an angular house (1, 4, 7, 10)?
N = Go to #3b
3b. Is it in a succedent house (1, 5, 8, 11)
and in a feminine sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces)?
N = Go to #3c
3c. Is it in a feminine quarter (houses 1, 2, 3, or houses 7, 8, 9)
and in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
(See Table of Dignities.)
Aspect to Mars, ruler of sign ==> Yes, trine
Aspect to Venus, ruler of term ==> No
Aspect to Sun, ruler of exaltation ==> No
Aspect to Sun, ruler of triplicity ==> No
Aspect to Mars, ruler of face ==> Yes
DISCUSSION: Notice that upon the examination of aspects from the lords
of the five dignities, we find that the Moon, while a more likely
choice than the Sun, is also not strongly aspected overall. Mars,
the lord of the sign, is peregrine (lacking in dignity), again not
able to lend much strength to the Moon as a potential Hyleg.
N = Go to #4
4.The SAN ("Syzygy ante nativitatem") is the degree of
the full or new Moon immediately prior to the natal chart,
whichever is closest to but prior. For the SAN,
was it a New Moon or a Full Moon?
Full Moon ==> Go to #8
8. Evaluate Fortuna (the Part of Fortune) ==> Go to #8a
8a. Is it in an angular house (1, 4, 7, 10)?
Y = Go to #10
10. Is it in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
[NOTE: These are also referred to as the lords of the five dignities.]
(See Table of Dignities.)
Aspect to Venus, ruler of sign ==> Sort of, inconjunct, but Venus strongly dignified
Aspect to Jupiter, ruler of term ==> Yes, trine
Aspect to Moon, ruler of exaltation ==> No
Aspect to Venus, ruler of triplicity ==> Sort of
Aspect to Saturn, ruler of face ==> No
DISCUSSION: Fortuna is much more strongly placed, although not really
any better aspected than the luminaries. The aspect from Jupiter
carries the same issues it brought to the Sun, that being Jupiter
is in its fall. Technically, Fortuna is an acceptable Hyleg. Since
I am not entirely satisfied that it is the best choice, I'll go
ahead and complete this with Fortuna, but then return to question
8, and change my answer, continuing with some of the other options
which could be considered for the Hyleg.
Y = Of the lords of the five dignities, the one with the greatest
dignity is now considered the Alcochoden ==> Go to #12
12. You have discovered the Hyleg.
** CONTINUING FROM 8, AS IF FORTUNA IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE HYLEG **
8. Evaluate Fortuna (the Part of Fortune) ==> Go to #8a
8c. Is it in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
(See Table of Dignities.)
N (arrived from any number other than #7) = Go to #7
7. Evaluate the Ascendent ==> Go to #7a
7a. Is it in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
(See Table of Dignities.)
Y = Go to #10
10. Is it in aspect to the ruler of its sign, term, exaltation, triplicity, or face?
[NOTE: These are also referred to as the lords of the five dignities.]
(See Table of Dignities.)
Aspect to Venus, ruler of sign ==> Yes, conjunct, and Venus strongly dignified
Aspect to Mars, ruler of term ==> Yes, square
Aspect to Saturn, ruler of exaltation ==> No
Aspect to Saturn, ruler of triplicity ==> No
Aspect to Jupiter, ruler of face ==> No
DISCUSSION: The Ascendent is conjunct its ruler, Venus, the most
dignified planet in the chart and the chart ruler. I like this, and
feel much more comfortable with the Ascendent as Hyleg than
anything else I've seen yet. Given that Venus is the most strongly
aspected planet in the chart, I doubt we could find anything
better. The only option remaining is the SAN, in Pisces opposed to
the Sun. I think I'll stick with the Ascendent. NOTE: Some
astrologers say a person may have more than one Hyleg. Personally,
I'm not persuaded, however you could certainly try watching
this native for transits or progressions to both the Ascendent and
Fortuna.
Y = Of the lords of the five dignities, the one with the greatest
dignity is now considered the Alcochoden ==> Go to #12
12. You have discovered the Hyleg.
