Rulership
A planet posited in the sign it rules is said to be in its rulership, domicile, or home. Thus, it is able to totally fulfil its role, and it is most likely that its action plays out very positively.

Detriment
On the contrary, when a planet is in the sign opposite the sign it rules, it is said to be in detriment. Thus, its action is negative, misused, or non-existent or weakened.

Exaltation
A planet in a sign of a similar nature, but which it does not rule, is said to be in exaltation. The planet gets strength and energy from its exaltation, and thus, its influence is positive.

Fall
A planet in the sign opposite the sign of its exaltation is said to be in fall. Therefore, contrarily to the exaltation, the planet loses its strength and influence.

Here is the rulership list:

The Sun

Rulership in Leo, exaltation in Aries, detriment in Aquarius, fall in Libra.

The Moon

Rulership in Cancer, exaltation in Taurus, detriment in Capricorn, fall in Scorpio.

Mercury

Rulership in Gemini and Virgo, exaltation in Virgo too, detriment in Sagittarius and Pisces, fall in Pisces too.

Venus

In sign of its dignity or 'rulership' a planet's vibration resonates harmoniously with that sign. Mars is the principle behind Aries. Both vibrate red. Here the planet is in its most natural expression.

In sign of its detriment, a planet is in a sign of least natural mode for its expression.

This is not good vs bad, merely whether the planet's energies can be expressed very naturally or are not. This is not a way of determining whether a planet's energies will be 'misused' or 'negative' or 'weakened' or 'non-existent'. That is to personify the planets in the act of predicting human behavior from this alone.
