What about questioning our own beliefs from time to time? Ask Mercury in Sagittarius.Ī while back, I made a video about this subject called The Grace in Debility. Can questioning and doubting ourselves be a path to greatness? Ask Jupiter in Virgo. Can we fight for peace? Ask Mars in Libra. Conversely, when a planet is in the opposite sign – in detriment – it must deal with complexity and paradox – and that is not necessarily such a bad thing. Their energy flows like a geyser, no questions asked. But is strong the same as good? When a planet is in the sign it rules, they agree with each other. Instead of calling it “good” when a planet is in the sign it rules, I find it is much more accurate to call it strong. Did that mean he had no spiritual life or that he lacked a visionary imagination? Martin Luther King had a “bad” Neptune – in Virgo, the sign opposite Pisces, the sign it naturally rules. I suspect he excelled at talking his victims into vulnerable positions. The infamous Yorkshire Ripper had a really “good” Mercury – in Gemini, conjunct his Gemini Sun. This common notion is simply incorrect, in my experience. The term they use there is ”detriment” – obviously, not such a good thing. To many astrologers, that makes them automatically “good.” To those same astrologers, for a planet to find itself in the opposite sign is unfortunate. Everyone with an interest in astrology soon learns about how particular planets rule certain signs.
