inactive astrological concept

χρηματίζοντες ⟨ἀστέρες⟩ λέγονται οἱ ἐπὶ δυνάμεως ἐπίκεντροι ἢ ἐπίκληροι καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ φάσεως ἢ οἱ τρίγωνοι Ἡλίου γινόμενοι. συγχρηματίζοντες δὲ οἱ κοινῶς ἔγκεντροι ἢ ἔγκληροι καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ φάσεως. ἀχρημάτιστοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ μὴ οὕτως ἔχοντες.

‘Stars that are active are called those in force (and) in cardinal points, or “heirs” (or, in lots), and those in phase, or those in trine with the Sun. (Stars) that are jointly active are those generally at cardinal points, or “heirs,” and those in phase. Inactive are those that are not in this disposition.’
