What does “Venus in Scorpio” mean?

It means that when you were born, Venus was in the part of the sky called Scorpio. The planet shows the area of life (Venus: love, pleasure, money). The sign shows how the planet acts (Scorpio: with deep, private and strong feelings).

How do I find my planets?

You need your birth date, time and place. Our free birth chart calculator shows the sign and degree of every planet. It calculates them in your browser.

Why do the outer planets matter less personally?

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto stay in a sign for seven to thirty years. So everyone born in that period has the same placement. They describe a generation. They become personal when they make close aspects to your Sun, Moon, personal planets or rising sign.

What are dignities?

Dignities are a traditional way to describe how well a planet works in a sign. It can be at home (domicile), very strong (exaltation), opposite its home (detriment) or weak (fall). Dignities show how easily a placement shows its qualities.
