The calculation of dignities is fundamental for understanding the state in which a planet is in a particular chart. The more cheerful or joyful it is, the more able it will be to fulfil its promises in the native's life. 

​

While essential dignities are easier to identify and memorise, accidental dignities vary greatly in criteria and can be difficult to remember, albeit very important.

The calculation tool provided below has been developed to facilitate the process of evaluating a planet in a chart. The purpose here is not to teach the concept behind each item but to provide a study tool, so prior knowledge of the concepts is expected. Good luck in your studies!
