Quickly determine the essential dignity and debility score for any planet in a specific zodiac sign. Gain insights into its astrological strength, weakness, and potential influence in a birth chart. Calculate points for domicile, exaltation, triplicity, detriment, and fall, helping you understand its contribution to Almuten Figuris.
Formula:
This calculator determines a planet's essential dignity or debility score based on its position in a zodiac sign. The points are assigned hierarchically, meaning the most potent dignity or debility takes precedence:
- Domicile: +5 points (Planet is in a sign it rules, indicating strong comfort and power)
- Exaltation: +4 points (Planet is in a sign where it performs exceptionally well and is highly honored)
- Triplicity: +3 points (Planet is a traditional ruler of the sign's elemental triplicity. We use the Ptolemaic day rulers for simplification.)
- Detriment: -5 points (Planet is in the opposite sign of its domicile, indicating weakness and discomfort)
- Fall: -4 points (Planet is in the opposite sign of its exaltation, indicating severe weakness and disgrace)
The highest applicable positive or negative score for a single planet-sign combination is displayed. These points represent a fundamental part of more complex astrological analyses, such as determining the Almuten Figuris for a full natal chart.
