Strength of a planet [Astro*Index]

In traditional astrology, a planet's strength is calculated by such factors as position by sign, house, and aspect. These are numerically weighted, and the combined total is referred to as the strength of a planet, with the strongest planet judged the ruler of the nativity.

Strength of Aspects [DeVore]

The relative strength of aspects is a debatable factor, for so much depends on the intrinsic character of the rays. If you consider the rays as energy, each altered in character by virtue of the sign position of the planet from which it is emitted, the aspect determines the direction of the influence upon you as an individual. It is in the synthesis of qualitative, quantitative and directional factors that the practice of Astrology becomes both an art and a science.
