Detriment.
Consideration is the Promise or Performance that flows between the parties to a contract. It is also called legal detriment.
In order for a contract to be legally binding both parties must provide some sort of consideration EG: in the supermarket you hand over money (your consideration) for food (their consideration). In law this consideration is described as benefitting one party, whilst being a detriment to the other party. So in the supermarket you suffer the detriment of handing over your money, and they suffer the detriment of handing over their food, but both parties also make a gain.
The Detriment sign of any planet is always in the opposite sign of its Dignity sign (own sign). So the Detriment sign of the Sun is the opposite sign of Leo which is Aquarius.
