QUESTION: Is mars in Venus signs (Libra, Taurus) considered to be in its “fall”?
No, that is called “detriment.”
These are English words, and I myself have used them incorrectly in the past. Its not too much of a big deal, especially when you are actually using Indic/Vedic dignity systems. But, to clarify…

| neecha (lit. “low”) | “fall” (or “debilitation”) | ♋︎ ♂ |
| śatru (lit. “enemy”) | ~ “detriment” (lit, opposite to domicile) | ♉︎ ♎︎ ♂ |
