Planetary rulership: Detriment
from Astrology Bytes with Theresa Reed · host Theresa Reed | The Tarot Lady
Episode 48: Detriment. Detriment occurs when a planet is in the opposite sign of the one it rules. The energy becomes weakened. This is not the weakest position but it’s compromised nonetheless. An example: Mars rules Aries. In Aries, the energy is forceful, passionate, and assertive. Mars in Libra would be detriment. Mars in Libra would be more concerned with approval and cooperation - which can dilute the aggressive Mars energy. This isn't all bad but again, it's not functioning at full speed.
