Detriment means that the planet is the furthest away from it's natural state (or as Vedic Astrology would say, it's "home"), so it will generally be weaker, and seem to not work toward the path of that particular planet, but rather go it's own way, depending on that particular detriment placement, according to my theory.
It differs from debilitated (fall) in a sense that the planet in debilitation "cannot" work well with the planet's energies, or at least have a lot of trouble and struggle to maintain the planet’s purpose, as opposed to to planet in detriment, which "will not", as it has it’s own way of dealing with the situation, which isn't (or pretty much the opposite) the particular planet’s ideal utilization of it’s energy for the solution.
A Keyword to attribute for the differentiation of the two dignities are “confliction” with Debilitated, and “opposition” with Detriment.

What do you think?

What is venus in scorpio then? In detriment?
I know my venus is weak, but it works fine for me, cause it is only nice aspected… I have never had trouble with finding love, or love that lasts, it is only myself who is the real problem

Yes, Venus in Scorpio is in detriment.

hmm makes sense, Now how about if a planet in debilitation gets aspected by another planet that rules or co-rules the planet thats debilitated like me for example, my mars is in cancer so BAYUM! its debilitated BUT my pluto is in scorpio in its home and pluto is co-ruler of mars and it tightly trines my mars almost less than 1 degree,

i have no problem with going for what i want or being competitive BUT i should have problems there since my mars is debilitated,I think aspects to a detrimental/debilitated planet are "more" important and more welcoming of the helping energy from other aspects to help it function normally

---

Yes, I agree... although I wouldn't say completely function normally in terms of a detriment placement, which is rather functioning accommodatingly. But with a debilitated placement, yeah. Especially in your case, since it's not only Scorpio's co-ruling planet, but also since they are both water signs and trine.

Actually your Saturn is in co-detriment, as Aquarius is only co-ruled by Saturn. So it's not as detrimental like a full-on detriment placement... like Saturn in Cancer, for example.

And your Saturn being in the 10th House is very good, as it's in it's domicile house. So it's in good dignity as well.
Scorpio Uranus is an exalted Uranus, so that's excellent. And since it's a square, it will make you work harder, and with an eccentric work ethic that is sure to keeps things innovative and transformative for the better. Also since it's trine the planet's sign placement's ruler (Leo); Sun, it will make it run even smoother than just a regular trine... so it's like a double trine, haha, in terms of the interaction with your Sun and Saturn - and that will manifest as a smoother Saturn placement overall as well, because of that special trine of yours.
