Face
|
|
A face is a ten degree slice of a sign, three to a sign and thirty six in the whole circle, each assigned to one of the seven planets. It is the lightest of the five essential dignities, worth a single point in the scored tables against five for a planet standing in its own sign.

This Egyptian tool is 100X better than your birth chart
Most people read their horoscope daily.
Some even study their birth chart.
Ancient Egyptian priests figured it out 5,000 years ago:
There's a frequency that awakens your cosmic DNA instantly.
This secret has been hidden in temple vaults for millennia.
I found it buried in an Egyptian cave…
But you can access it with a single click.

The smallest dignity in the system is worth a single point and almost nobody mentions it any more. The Moon stands at fourteen degrees of Leo tonight, having overtaken Mars at four degrees before dawn, which puts her inside the second face of the sign. A face is a ten degree slice. There are thirty six of them in the circle, three to a sign, and every one belongs to a planet.

They run in the old planetary order, slowest to fastest: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, then round again. Begin at zero degrees of Aries with Mars, keep counting, and all thirty six fall out of the sequence without anybody having to decide anything. Leo takes Saturn, Jupiter and Mars across its three. So the slice she occupies tonight belongs to Jupiter, and at 10:22 UTC tomorrow she reaches Jupiter himself, at twenty degrees, which is the last aspect she makes in the sign.

The weight of it is almost nothing. The older writers treated a planet holding nothing but its own face as barely in possession of anything at all, a tenant with a week left on the lease. What the thirty six bought was completeness. Between domicile, exaltation, triplicity, bound and face, every degree in the circle has an owner at five different scales, and no part of the zodiac is left unassigned to anybody. She is in Jupiter’s slice tonight and reaches Jupiter in the morning. The tables score the first of those at one point and the second at rather more.
