Fall (Essential Debility)

Fall is the opposite condition to exaltation—a planet in the sign opposite its exaltation sign. Sun falls in Libra, Moon in Scorpio, Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Capricorn, and Saturn in Aries. A planet in fall has its significations diminished—not destroyed, but operating at reduced capacity. Like detriment, fall requires the native to compensate through effort and often produces a distinctive, hard-won competence in that planet's domain.

A planet in fall in your chart indicates an area where natural expression is muted. With awareness and effort, you can develop this area into a quiet but genuine strength.
