So your chart is considered fucked if you are one of the following?

Weak: a planet in detriment, fall, or the corresponding house (by number).

Detriment: a planet is said to be in its detriment in the sign opposite the one it rules. Here a planet's power is blocked, its full expression hindered, or it has difficulty expressing its positive or optimistic side (in a sign so uncongenial to its nature).

The Sun is in its detriment in Aquarius
The Moon in Capricorn
Mercury in Sagittarius or Pisces
Venus in Aries or Scorpio
Mars in Libra or Taurus
Jupiter in Gemini
Saturn in Cancer
Uranus in Leo
Neptune in Virgo
and Pluto in Taurus


Fall: said of a planet in the sign opposite to its Exaltation; the weakest and least favorable placement for a planet, resulting in a restriction of its nature and an inability to express its positive or optimistic qualities. This is personally significant only for...

Moon in Scorpio
Mercury in Leo
Venus in Virgo
Mars in Cancer

and, to a lesser extent...

Jupiter in Capricorn
Saturn in Aries

Two of my planets are in detriment.

Jupiter in Gemini
Jupiter expands what it touches, then I imagine this would be an extremely busy and active Jupiter indeed...

She could have a real aptitude, for example, in working as a simultaneous translator at conferences. Or she could be a very inspiring language teacher. The traditional detriment of Jupiter in Gemini indicates that she will need to be careful not to take on too much or to get over-stimulated or too scattered, which could result in an element of stress and nervous tension. Functioning positively, Jupiter can bring an overview, an appreciation of the whole picture, find a larger context for all the bits and pieces, and help Gemini develop a sense of trust and confidence.

Jupiter in Gemini is in detriment giving enthusiasm for learning, communication, thought, and versatile intellectual interests. The mind is always moving and restless, but may tend to scatter itself or be split by conflicts. One is usually interested in many things but may have difficulty becoming deeply involved in any of them.

Jupiter in Gemini:
You are lucky when you do things in twos??_and while you are riding a bicycle, or double dating, or playing doubles tennis. The second time you do things will more likely bring success. If you have Jupiter in Gemini in your 7th house you will probably marry more than once and your later marriage(s) will be happier. Jupiter is in its detriment in Gemini and doesn't like the superficiality of this sign. Networking, teaching, communication, remedial education, cars and other modes of transportation and your extended family will all offer you lucky breaks from time to time. This placement is very likely to have more than one marriage and one of your marriages will likely break up due to family problems. Keep your family at a distance if you want to maintain marital bliss.

As for how it impacts me, when I'm working, I have a tendency to fixate on the minor details. I can obsess over fixing the minor aspects and focus very little on the bigger picture. As a result, my productivity is diminished and if it weren't for the staying power of Taurus, I'd never get anything done...late, but done.



My planet in detriment is Venus in Aries.

Venus in Aries: in it's detriment, Venus in it's detriment means that Venus is just learning and could make mistakes in love, passion and indulgences. Mistakes need to be corrected in order to be happy. Fond of travel, artistic endeavors, such as sculpting, painting, poetry, theatre, and gentle sports, Wouldn't be caught died without a membership to a swanky sports club.

Here venus is ardent, passionate,generous, and demonstrates their love and affection openly and willingly. Popularity comes easily and Venus in Aries has many friends. This placement can indicate an early or hasty marriage. There is always a push pull affect with relationships. They are passionate about new relationships then as time goes on can question the worthiness of the relationship.



This differs from ViS which is also in detriment how?

Venus in Scorpio: Venus is in her detriment in Scorpio. Here Venus can be lavish and free spending and even generous. Money can be earned or gained by partnerships or through sales commissions. Through those elements ruled by water , such as catering to the public, dealing with the dead, gifts, inheritances, and marriage. Venus is passionate here and the emotions are ardent and sensual. A love of luxury, and pleasure. Some difficulties with relationships due to jealousy, death or loss of courtship.

Venus in Aries = Self-Centered, Selfish, Cheaters

Venus in Scorpio = Gold Diggers and Stalkers

i'll do another post on good placements as i dont want to confuse the two.

i'm reading more on this jupiter and gemini and i'm wondering how many people with this placement might suffer from OCD. i literally can not get anything done because i am constantly dissecting. it's infuriating. even when i write, i revise excessively and it can take me hours to produce a solitary paragraph.

anyway, the jupiter in gem splains a helluva lot.

venus in aries too. i'm not a cheater but i fear it. i fear being so bored in a relationship that i might stray and lose the love of my life for no other reason than i forgot they matter or they bored me into another's arms.

Mercury in Sagittarius
(Detriment)
Mercury in Sagittarius is sarcastic, these are the braggers,
they want you to think that the sags are painfully honest,
but it is not true... they are just blunt and rude. They are
philosophical and like college and higher learning, it makes
them feel important and knowledgeable. They present a worldly
image but Sagittarius energy only skims the surface, they
don't know a lot about anything but they want you to think
they know it all.

Sun in Sagittarius / Mercury in Sagittarius
This combination indicates a love of travel with an aptitude for talking and writing interestingly about a wide variety of experiences. Your mind is far-sighted and frequently more concerned with ideas than with personalities.

Audience: I have Mercury in Sagittarius. I suppose that means I talk a lot.

Clare: Yes, and also you may find yourself embellishing or exaggerating what you say, turning otherwise ordinary events into a drama, into theatre, feeding the fire. So for example, the weather will be absolutely terrible, an ordinary unfortunate event will be a complete disaster, a holiday will have been fantastic, amazing, wonderful - all big words. Mercury in Sagittarius is also said to have 'foot in mouth' disease, the tendency to speak before thinking, and to interrupt. On the other hand, it is highly intuitive. There is an extraordinary ability to perceive and anticipate the future, what lies around the next corner.

LMAO

my Aqua sis used to get thoroughly annoyed by my "theatrics."

She'd be like, here's what Briana said happened:
OMG the cat darted across the street, almost got hit by like 4 cars, they swerved, almost got into an accident, and the cat just trotted off like nothing happened.

Here's what really happened: the cat crossed the fucking street.


😄 I can't be mad, it's kind of true.

I HAVE ANOTHER ONE!!!

Saturn in Leo is in detriment giving responsibility for power, leadership, and creativity that must be carefully controlled and limited. The ego structure tends to be large if not grandiose, and humility can be a hard lesson. Strong will and organizing ability can become authoritative and ambitious, but compassion needs to be developed.



Saturn in Leo is in what is called its DETRIMENT. This is because Saturn rules Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo, so in Leo, Saturn works against its own best interests-- especially when maintaining POWER is at stake. In LEO, Saturn is dignified, regal, and looks out at the crowd from a higher regal stance. Pomp and royal splendor can surround major leaders as they sit on their thrones, safe within their conservative positions, and secure behind their status, masks, and costumes. Yet, all the regal splendor can be concealing the true personality and leaders may really feel like small children behind the mask of leadership, unable to truly connect and insensitive to the feelings of individuals, caught up in seeing the outer superficial reality, but not able to build from their heart or true inner center or love, because they are limited and constrained by the image they project to the public and are busy playing the role. Saturn in Leo is all about the show and setting the stage, while the heart is engaged only as a prop.

I'd like to know more about what medical astrology has to say about Mars in Libra.
Here'a bit from a profile of mine:

MARS in LIBRA
The natives who have Mars in Libra usually possess refined tastes, intuitive minds and an
idealistic temperament. When well-aspected, it indicates an ardent nature who is greatly attracted
to the opposite sex and therefore inclines to an early marriage. The faculties of perception,
observation and clear vision may also be well-developed in these individuals. They are enthusiastic
lovers of art and beauty and are popular with the public, or in societies of a social or religious
nature.
This location of Mars is ideal for a lawyer or surgeon and indicates many friends among
scientific, religious, philosophic, legal or business people. These people are good strategists,
able to accomplish things through diplomacy and charm instead of physical force. The direct action
of Mars is somewhat limited, here, by the need for the approval and co-operation of others. If Mars
is afflicted, it makes such people very unpopular and subjects them to the opposition and criticism
of the community; and to scandal due to unfaithfulness in marriage or business partners. Mars afflicted
by Uranus or Saturn is a true sign of separation, broken ties, unsuccessful lawsuits and all things for
which the seventh house stands. An afflicted Mars in Libra usually causes kidney or urinary complaints,
especially after injury. The native should drink adequate amounts of water (6-8) glasses daily to keep
the kidney channels clear and clean.

PATHOLOGICAL TENDENCIES: Diabetes, liver and kidney disease, nephritis; skin eruptions, sores
and ulcers related to renal dysfunction; facial neuralgia; back pains; venereal infections,
syphilis; itching and burning sensations in the eyes.

ANTIPHLOGISTICS/COOLANTS: Apple juice, passion fruit, mango, feverfew, vervain.

VULNERARIES: Comfrey, eucalyptus.

KARMIC TENDENCIES: Death by assassination; given to sensual pleasures.

SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS: Feet, kidneys, sex organs, skin.
