Refimprove date November 2007 In astrology , accidental dignity occurs when a planet gains strength for any reason other than its zodiacal position. Accidental dignity should not be confused with essential dignity which is where a planet gains strength from its position in the zodiac ref http www.skyscript.co.uk dignities.html ref . To understand the difference between accidental dignity and essential dignity, think of essential dignity as being relevant to the nature of the planet and accidental dignity as relevant to how that planet finds itself , or its power to act . As an example, in a Horary astrology horary question, the significator for a lost valuable ring may have good essential dignity it is valuable , but may have little accidental dignity it is lost . A planet can gain accidental dignity through a number of ways, but most often it is gained when the planet is found in a house of its rulership, is cazimi , conjunct a benefic fixed star or is found on an Angle astrology angle . Essential and accidental dignity have particular importance in some branches of astrology, such as Horary astrology horary and Electional Astrology electional astrology. Accidental Debility Conversely planets may also lose accidental dignity and become accidentally debilitated. Several factors may contribute to a planet being accidentally debilitated, including the planet being slower than its average speed, Retrograde Motion retrograde , Combust astrological aspect combust or aspecting a malefic planet or fixed star . Accidental Dignity by House Association Traditional astrology regarded house rulerships differently than is currently en vogue in modern Western astrology.
