peregrine belongs to Traditional astrologers terminology...peregrine
“Definition of PeregrineForeign, alien. Said of a planet posited in a sign where it possesses no essential dignity: where it is neither dignified nor debilitated. It is employed in Horary Astrology, where it is usually reckoned as a debility. In a question of a theft, a peregrine planet in an angle or in the second house, is the thief. However, no planet is reckoned peregrine if it be in mutual reception with another. “ http://www.astrologyweekly.com/dictionary/peregrine.php
Dr.Farr says –“I personally have long ago come to reject the peregrine concept as invalid” http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showpost.php?p=297610&postcount=3
Traditional astrology uses lots of complex terms, sect, that are not used in modern day astrology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_dignity
“Many modern astrologers take little heed of essential dignities, with the exception of domicile rulerships (see article on ruling planets.) This is most likely the result of the simplification of astrological technique that occurred when astrology lost popularity beginning in the eighteenth century” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_dignity
occidental and oriental
“Oriental means to rise before the Sun, occidental means to rise after the Sun. The qualities, significations and humoral qualities of the planets can change considerably according to whether they are oriental or occidental. For example, most planets gain in height and hair when oriental.” http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/oriental.html http://www.khaldea.com/planets/oriental_intro.shtml http://www.khaldea.com/planets/oriental_houses.shtml
