How to read the table
Read one ascendant row at a time. Under whole-sign houses, the 5th house is one entire sign, counted from the ascendant as the 1st. Venus in that house is in that sign. Exalted, own sign, and debilitated come from the sign alone. Any other dignity cell is only the natural relationship between Venus and the lord of that sign. Compound dignity also depends on where that sign lord sits, so it is not in this table. The last column is the houses Venus rules from that ascendant.
What this page does not say
The house names the life area: creativity, children, romance, and intelligence. A planet in that house is not an event, and this page does not turn the label into a forecast. A reading of your own chart still needs the birth time, and a finished Mahadasha you can score, before any claim about what happens next.
Calculate it on a birth chart
Pick the row only after the ascendant is calculated. Use the Vedic Birth Chart Calculator for the sidereal, whole-sign chart. The period that makes this planet active is a separate step: Mahadasha Calculator.

Does Venus in the 5th house mean the same sign for every person?
No. In the whole-sign houses used here, the ascendant sign is the entire 1st house. Venus in the 5th house is in a different sign for each ascendant. The table lists all twelve.
Is the dignity column my personal strength?
Only Exalted, Own sign, and Debilitated are fixed from the sign alone. Friend, enemy, and neutral are the natural relationship to the sign lord. Compound dignity also needs the house of that sign lord in the birth chart.
Can this page tell me what will happen in that area of life?
No. It places Venus and names the houses Venus rules. A life reading needs the birth chart and a finished period you can score. This is an educational reference, not a basis for a decision.
