You're probably right. I actually made a study about people with planets in

their sidereal detriments (62 charts out of 10339 that had four or five

planets in detriment) and there was a lot of lawyers, scientists,

policicians and soldiers - people who have had to struggle, who like

challenges. There was quite many inventors, people who had discovered

something completely new. So the common theme was daring to go onto unknown

terrority, to walk unbeaten paths, going bravely where no one has previously

gone.

 

Esoterically speaking, if you want a challenging life and want to do

something unusual and daring, it's better to choose a chart with many

detrimented planets. Planets in detriment are in the 7th house from their

own domiciles, they're as far from the home as they can be. That symbolism

was visible in the charts with detrimented planets. There was a telling

quote from Auguste Renoir (Mars, the Sun, Venus and Mercury in detriment):

" ...I am still suffering from experimenting. I'm not content and I am

scraping off, still scraping off. I hope this craze will end. I am like a

child in school. The white page must always be neatly written and bang! - a

blot. I am still at the age of blots - and I'm forty. "

 

But those detrimented planets don't make anyone a depraved person or

anything like that. It may be different with planets in fall. I studied 10

charts with four planets in fall, but it was too small a sample to make any

conclusions. There was two " nasty " persons out of these 10 charts (Pablo

Picasso and a Finnish serial murderer who dated older homosexual men and

poisoned them).

 

Best, Sari
