Planetary Dignity Results
What Is Planetary Dignity in Astrology?
Planetary dignity describes the quality and strength of a planet based on the zodiac sign it occupies.
Think of it like this:
- A planet in the right sign feels “at home”
- A planet in the wrong sign feels restricted or uncomfortable
The more comfortable a planet is, the more clearly and positively it works in your life.
Why Planetary Dignity Matters
Planetary dignity helps you answer important questions, such as:
- Why does one planet feel powerful while another feels blocked?
- Why do some talents flow naturally while others need effort?
- Why do similar birth charts produce very different results?
Dignity explains how well a planet can perform its job, not just what it represents.
The Five Main Planetary Dignity States
Your calculator uses the five most widely accepted dignity states in traditional astrology.
1. Domicile (Rulership) – Strongest Position
A planet is in domicile when it is in the sign it rules.
- This is the planet’s natural home
- Energy flows easily and clearly
- Results are usually constructive and confident
Strength Score: 5 / 5
Meaning: Excellent expression of planetary power
2. Exaltation – Highly Favorable
A planet is exalted when it is honored and uplifted in a sign.
- The planet performs very well
- Expression may be refined or idealized
- Strength is strong but slightly less stable than domicile
Strength Score: 4 / 5
Meaning: Strong and beneficial influence
3. Peregrine (Neutral) – Balanced Expression
A planet is peregrine when it is not in rulership, exaltation, detriment, or fall.
- No special support or resistance
- Results depend on aspects and life choices
- Neutral but flexible energy
Strength Score: 3 / 5
Meaning: Balanced and adaptable
4. Detriment – Weak Position
A planet is in detriment when it occupies the sign opposite its rulership.
- The planet struggles to act naturally
- Energy feels awkward or blocked
- Growth comes through conscious effort
Strength Score: 2 / 5
Meaning: Weak or strained expression
5. Fall – Most Challenging Position
A planet is in fall when it is opposite its exaltation sign.
- The planet feels restricted or diminished
- Confidence and clarity may be low
- Lessons come through difficulty
Strength Score: 1 / 5
Meaning: Challenged expression requiring awareness
