Dorotheus of Sidon 西元一世纪占星家(早于拖乐密Ptolemy)，在其着作占星之歌(Carmen
Astrologicum)第一册中提到后天十二宫的强弱，供有兴趣者研究。

On the superiority of the places.

Keep what I tell you of the places and the superiority of one of
them over another in power. 

So the best of the places is the ascendant, then the midheaven,
then what follows the midheaven, which is the eleventh from the
ascendant, 
then the opposite to this eleventh place from the ascendant, which
is the fifth from the ascendant which is called the house of the
child, 
then the opposite to the ascendant, which is the sign of marriage,
then the cardine of the earth, then the ninth place from the
ascendant. 

Thus these are seven places which are preferred to the places which
are not recognized as good: 
the third from the ascendant because it is said that it is the
place of the joy of the Moon, and the second from the
ascendant, 
then the eighth from the aseendent, which is the sign of death. Of
these places which I told you, the first is the
strongest. 
There remain equal to this two places which are the worst of the
worst, and they are the sixth and the twelfth.

译文——王小亚译

◆宫位力量上的优越性：

最强之宫是上升（1宫），中天（10宫）次之，第三位是从上升数起的第11宫，然后第四位是第11宫的对宫——第5宫，它也被称之为子女宫。

第五则是上升对面的第7宫，即婚姻宫；第六是天底（第4宫），第七是从上升数起的第9宫。

◇同样也有些宫位我们认为不吉：

首先是自上升数起的第3宫，因为它是月亮喜居之地，而后是第2宫；再是第8宫，也是司掌死亡之宫。
上述这3、2、8个宫中最强的是第3宫。
剩下两个宫则是凶上加凶的第6和第12宫
========================

我自己的简单理解：
宫位从强至弱、吉至凶的排列顺序——1、10、11、5、7、4、9、3、2、8、6、12（其中从第3宫开始算不吉之宫）
