A planet in detriment or fall is in a precarious condition, more so if it is peregrine or otherwise afflicted. In horary the use of this symbolism is often remarkably literal and can be used to describe someone who has 'fallen' from grace or is incapable of maneuvering a situation to their advantage. In charts drawn to find a missing object, for example, a significator in detriment may suggest the object has been damaged; in its sign of fall it may have physically fallen to the floor. To have many planets debilitated in this way in a nativity is considered a sign of obscurity and low birth.
