Definition:
In astrology, the a planet can be said to be either in its "dignity" or in its
"detriment." When a planet is in its "dignity," it is in its own "house" - for
example, Mars being sign in the sign of Aries. When a planet is in its "detriment," it
is in the opposite house - for example, Mars being in the sign of Libra. Being in its
dignity means that the power of a planet is strengthened, while being in its
detriment means, obviously enough, that the power of this planet is weakened.
