Exalted Planets – Results: When Aspect by Exalted Planets and Debilitated Planets

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

 

1)    Exalted planets in a horoscope are generally considered to be very good and strong but at time malefic aspects make the whole difference and may not give the needed results. Similarly, if the exalted planet is bereft of strength for any astrological reason, it may not give the desired results.

2)    The Sun exalts in Aries, the Moon exalts in Taurus, Mars exalts in Capricorn, Mercury exalts in its own sign Virgo, Jupiter exalts in Cancer, Venus exalts in Pisces and the known malefic, though actually not so in all cases, Saturn exalts in Libra. These are exaltation signs and the corresponding 7^th sign become the debilitation sign. The deepest exaltation degrees are 10 for the Sun, 3 for the Moon, 28 for Mars, 15 for Mercury, 5 for Jupiter, 27 for Venus and 20 for Saturn. Each planet assumes significance in its exaltation sign or debilitation sign i.e. highly favorable or highly detrimental depending on the placement of the planet concerned, aspect on the planet, degree-wise strength and how it is placed in other Vargas  including Navamsa.

3)   According to Prasara Hora Sastra, the Sun is exalted in Aries and is the most powerful on the 10^th degree i.e. deepest exalted point and may be worst in its debilitated sign Libra at the same degree. Similarly, the positions of other planets need to be interpreted.

4)   The Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus have only 7^th aspect whereas Saturn aspects 3^rd, 7^th and 10^th houses, Mars aspect 4^th, 7^th and 8^th house and Jupiter aspects 5^th, 7^th and 9^th house. Accordingly, the results of the planets would be different and the traits of the house concerned shall be affected either beneficially or otherwise depending on the force of planets and when they are in retrograde motion.

5)   The Sun in Aries (exaltation sign) can only be aspected by Debilitated Saturn and that when Saturn transits Libra. The Moon in Taurus (exaltation sign) cannot be aspected by any exalted planet as none of the planets exalts in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces can only aspect exalted Mercury but that cannot happen as Mercury and Venus can never be 180 degrees apart from each other. Similarly, the aspect of other planets can be discussed.

6)   Without multiplying examples of exalted planets, I would just say about the effects of the Moon in Taurus. Male natives born with Moon in Taurus are found to be steady, have controlled natures and tempers and may lose balance of mid if aspected by Mars/Saturn/Rahu. They make good citizens and assume responsibility easily and naturally. Though inclined to be lazy but will work hard. Fon of music and really passionate and are fond of family life specially of brothers/sisters. Unless the position is improved, the native on marriage shall have more daughters. Female natives born with the Moon in Taurus are usually good looking have small round faces, eyes are lustrous and beautiful and have nicely formed lips. The ladies are stubborn but not aggressive, shrewd but not clever and cannot be ranked 'brilliant'. Normally, such ladies are pleasure loving and fond of opposite sex. Because of their sex appeal and beauty, the husband is dominated. They eat less to keep the figure lean. Mark the difference between male and female natives with Moon in Taurus.
