## 🎯 Major Updates Just Deployed

### 1. ✅ **FIXED: Venus in Aries Dignity Bug**

**What Changed**:
- Added complete **Detriment** and **Fall** calculations
- Essential dignity system now includes all 7 dignity types

**How to Test**:
1. Go to **Chart Analysis** tab
2. Select **Venus** as planet
3. Select **Aries** as sign
4. Choose **Day Chart**
5. Click "Assess Dignity"

**Expected Result**:
```
Essential Dignity Analysis

Planet: Venus
Sign: Aries
Chart Type: Day Chart

Dignity Assessment:
○ No major dignities

Debilities:
✗ Detriment (-5)

Total Dignity Score: -5 points
Planetary Condition: Debilitated

Interpretation:
Venus is severely debilitated in Aries, being in detriment.
The planet struggles to express its nature and may act
contrary to its essential significations.
```

**Before**: Showed "Peregrine" (incorrect)
**After**: Shows "Debilitated" with Detriment (-5) (correct)

---

### 2. 🆕 **NEW: Complete Dignity System**

All essential dignities now calculated:

**Positive Dignities**:
- ✅ Domicile (+5) - e.g., Sun in Leo
- ✅ Exaltation (+4) - e.g., Jupiter in Cancer
- ✅ Triplicity (+3) - Sect-aware (day/night/participating)

**Negative Dignities** (NEW):
- ✅ Detriment (-5) - e.g., Venus in Aries, Mars in Libra
- ✅ Fall (-4) - e.g., Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Aries

**Test Examples**:
| Planet | Sign | Expected Result |
|--------|------|----------------|
| Sun | Leo | Domicile (+5) - Strong |
| Jupiter | Cancer | Exaltation (+4) - Strong |
| Mars | Cancer | Fall (-4) - Debilitated |
| Venus | Aries | Detriment (-5) - Debilitated |
| Saturn | Aries | Fall (-4) - Debilitated |
