From Handwiki In astrology, a celestial body is said to be in detriment, or exile, when it is positioned 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 Pisces |
| Ceres | Virgo | Pisces |
| Venus | Taurus Libra |
Scorpio Aries |
| Terra | Taurus | Scorpio |
| Mars | Aries Scorpio |
Libra Taurus |
| Jupiter | Sagittarius Pisces |
Gemini Virgo |
| Saturn | Capricorn Aquarius |
Cancer Leo |
| Uranus* | Aquarius | Leo |
| Neptune* | Pisces | Virgo |
| Pluto* | Scorpio | Taurus |
* 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.
