Dominant Planet Calculator Formula
The Dominance Score (D) is calculated based on three input factors:
D = P × E × (1 + A / 100)
Where:
- P = Power Score (in percent, e.g., 75)
- E = Influence Exposure (as a factor, e.g., 1.5)
- A = Astro Authority (in percent, e.g., 30)

Variables Explained
- Power Score (P): Represents the fundamental strength of the planet based on aspects and visibility (input as a percentage).
- Influence Exposure (E): A multiplier factor indicating the breadth of the planet’s influence across different Houses.
- Astro Authority (A): The factor of essential dignity and placement quality (input as a percentage bonus).
- Dominance Score (D): The final quantified measure of planetary influence.

What is the Dominant Planet Calculator?
The Dominant Planet Calculator is a bespoke tool designed to quantify the abstract influence of a single planet within a natal chart. While traditional astrology relies on qualitative assessment, this calculator attempts to assign quantitative metrics (P, E, A) to determine a composite Dominance Score (D).
Understanding planetary dominance is crucial for interpreting core personality traits, life themes, and energetic priorities. A high Dominance Score suggests the planet’s energies are highly salient and likely to shape the individual’s experiences significantly. This calculator provides a systematic, though simplified, method for such analysis.
How to Calculate Dominant Planet Calculator (Example)
- Identify Inputs: Assume a planet has a Power Score (P) of 70 (0.70), an Influence Exposure (E) of 2.1, and an Astro Authority (A) of 15 (0.15).
- Apply the Formula: Substitute the values into the equation: $D = P \times E \times (1 + A / 100)$.
- Calculation: $D = 70 \times 2.1 \times (1 + 15 / 100)$.
- Result: $D = 70 \times 2.1 \times 1.15$.
- Final Dominance Score: $D = 169.05$ Units.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many variables must I input to get a result?
You must input exactly three of the four variables (P, E, A, or D). The calculator is designed to solve for the single missing variable.
Can I input all four variables?
Yes, but the calculator will then check for mathematical consistency. If the inputs do not match the formula within a small tolerance, an error message will display, prompting you to verify your initial data.
What does the ‘Astro Authority (A)’ represent?
It represents the bonus factor derived from the planet’s essential dignity, accidental dignity, and overall quality of its position (e.g., exultation, detriment, or sign/house rulership).
Is the Dominance Score a percentage?
No, the Dominance Score (D) is a unitless index derived from the formula. The Power Score (P) and Astro Authority (A) are the only inputs expressed in percentages.
