Essential Dignities

♅︎Dignities of Uranus

No traditional dignity · modern ruler of Aquarius

Uranus's standing in the dignity scheme — unknown to the old astrologers, named by modern practice as ruler of Aquarius.

Uranus was discovered long after the dignities were set, so it holds no traditional rulership, exaltation or fall; modern astrologers give it Aquarius, where its urge to break the pattern and think for itself feels most at home. Read it as where you meet change and independence, without a fixed verdict of strong or weak.
