Sanai's Description of Planetary Auspiciousness and Aspects in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah
In Section 49 of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai outlines the medieval astrological categorization of planetary influences and aspects:
Classification of the Seven Planets
- Auspicious (Benefic): Two planets are inherently auspicious, acting as doers of good and sources of generosity (traditionally Jupiter and Venus).
- Inauspicious (Malefic): Two planets are inherently inauspicious, ruinous, and bad (traditionally Saturn and Mars).
- Moderate (Neutral): Two planets are moderate or average, balancing good and evil (traditionally Mercury and the Moon).
- The Sun: Described as the ruler or master (kadkhoda) of the celestial sphere.
Planetary Aspects
- Sextile (Tasdis): Mentioned as a favorable or auspicious aspect.
- Trine (Taslis): Mentioned in contrast as an unfavorable aspect in this specific categorization.
