Detriment and Fall Lords
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:19 am
Hello,
I listened to Maria Mateus lecture on her version of Profection and she uses domicile and exaltation lords (no problem there) but she also uses detriment and fall lords!
She uses all 4 lords (domicile, exalted, detriment and fall) of the profected sign of the ascendant (and she profected one sign per year). So, when the profected sign of the ascendant reaches say, Aries, she would use Mars, Sun, Venus and Saturn as Lords. She says that while Sun may want to exalt the native, Saturn would want to make him fall. So, take the house that Sun rules as the area of life that native will be "exalted" and houses that Saturn rules as the areas of life that will pull the native down (for that year as profection governs one year period).
Is this traditional? If it is, which text should I refer to? If it is not, do you think this method has merits?

) is powerful and the lord of the dignity powerful? Let us assume that someone's profectional ascendant fall into Aries (the fall of Saturn) this year; her method would label houses ruled by saturn negative. But, the ruler of this debility (I really don't like this construction 
) is exalted at the moment - would that mean that the dangers and negativities described by Saturn win and that the native is most likely to have a lousy year?
