Planets are in detriment when they are in the sign opposite to their rulership. For example, Uranus is in detriment in Leo traditionally, Aries esoterically, and Libra hierarchically. Neptune may also be considered to be exalted in Cancer or Pisces, and in fall in Capricorn. Vulcan may also be considered to be in fall in Pisces.
