Detriment (astrology)
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. 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.
The sign detriments are as follows:
| Body | Domicile | Detriment |
| Sun | Leo | Aquarius |
| Moon | Cancer | Capricorn |
| Mercury | Gemini
Virgo | Sagittarius
