Detriment (astrology)

Detriment (astrology)

In astrology, a celestial body is said to be in detriment, or exile, when it is posited in the zodiac sign opposite the sign it rules (over which it has domicile). When a celestial body is in detriment it is said to be not comfortable in that sign and to tend to operate with the least strength.[1]

The sign detriments are as follows:

Body Domicile Detriment
Sun Leo Aquarius
Moon Cancer Capricorn
Mercury Gemini
Virgo		 Sagittarius

Venus Taurus
Libra		 Scorpio
Aries
Mars Aries
Scorpio		 Libra
Taurus
Jupiter Sagittarius
Pisces		 Gemini

  • Signs of detriment for the non-visible planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are not firmly established or as widely applied as those of the seven classical planets.
