Astrological fall 4219026 223619762 2008-07-04T22:36:43Z Grrrlriot 5909634 added astrology stub template In [[astrology]], the '''fall''' of a planet is the sign or "zoidion" which is opposite that planet's sign of [[exaltation (astrology)|exaltation]]. Planets in ''fall'' are uncomfortable and weak, having much less power to assert their own identity. A planet's "fall" is the sign that seems to resist the planet's nature the most, resulting in impasse & failure. ''Fall'' is a form of debilitated [[essential dignity]] which is among the most ancient of all [[astrological]] concepts still in use, having its origin in [[Mesopotamian]] omens, before the beginning of [[horoscopic astrology]].
