Dear Mark,

I also think we maybe need to take a further virgoan step and say "essentially strong[er]" and "accidentally strong[er]" to clearify the term "strong".

Obvious reason behind this is that 'strong' is ambiguous as it is applicable to both essential strength and accidental strength of a planet.

Otherwise things often get complicated (for me at least). Because when an astrologer simply(?) say that 'a planet is strong' I stop and ask myself whether s/he means :

a) that that planet is essentially strong, or
b) that it is accidentally strong, or
c) that it is strong in both terms
