Here is an excellent table from Gia Horary listing the accidental dignities and debilities, as well as their weighting system (her site will be linked at the bottom of the thread with sources) The weighting system is a newer concept, as the ancient astrologers treated all essential dignities as equally important. William Lilly, however, claimed they descended in importance from domicile to decan, and this is the system most commonly used and my personal preference.
