Cosmodynes - Background

 

by Allen Edwall

 

Power - The power of a planet is determined by its house position, its closeness to the cusp of that house, and the number and closeness of its aspects.

The planet with the most cosmodynes is the Ruler of the chart, as it depicts the strongest energy potential.

The quality of the power can be determined by translation of power in three ways: 1) the nature of the planet itself, 2) the nature of each of its aspects, and 3) its essential dignity (sign occupancy), including mutual reception. House position (accidental dignity) does not affect harmony or discord; it affects power.

Water (emotion, putting your heart into things)

    The strongest planets in a chart indicate aptitudes that can be cultivated most easily into abilities. The best (most harmonious) planets shows the things with which the individual can associate to bring good fortune. The strongest (and most harmonious) houses emphasize environments or areas of life where the native will find it easier to practice his vocation, the extent that department of life will be active in the life, and the harmony or discord that may be expected in that department of life. The signs give a picture of the natural, instinctive motivation (likes and dislikes, attitudes and reactions) and enable one to judge whether or not the vocation will bring personal satisfaction.
