If you want to decipher how planets act in their happiest and saddest moments, you are just at the right place.
So, let’s not make any further ado, and jump into the discussion straight.
What is the Exaltation and Debilitation of Planets?
We all have our most liked and disliked spaces in our houses. Akin to us, planets have their special spots in the zodiac belt. When planets reach the special place aka comfort zone in space (Kaalpurush Kundali), they become exalted and enjoy their fullest power. Natives born with exalted planets can fulfill the goals and desires significant to an exalted planet with less effort.
However, planets lack resources and potential at their weakest spots in the zodiac belt, and this weak spot is known as the debilitation of the planets. Debilitated planets make natives undergo hurdles, struggles, and suffering compared to others. Each spot is signified with a specific range of degrees.
Actions of Planets During Exaltation & Debilitation States
Right after the conversation on exalted and debilitated states of planets, we will explore how different planets act in these positions. We will start with the Sun…
Exaltation & Debilitation of Sun: The Sun gets exalted at 10 degrees in Aries. It becomes debilitated at 10 degrees in Libra. Sun in Aries provides royal status to the natives with power, confidence, and charm. But, Libra Sun makes a native arrogant and insensitive.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Moon: Moon becomes exalted at 3 degrees in Taurus and debilitated at 3 degrees in Scorpio. Natives born with exalted Moon experience luxury, a good flow of money, and happiness in their career and care from their mother. However, Scorpio Moon provides anxiety, stress, poverty, and frequent mood swings.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Mercury: Mercury exalts at 15 degrees in Virgo and debilitates at 15 degrees in Pisces. Exalted Mercury endows natives with sharp minds, intellect, and knowledge. Whereas, debilitated Mercury strains your intellect and creates issues with your siblings.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Mars: Mars exalts at 28 degrees in Cancer and debilitates in Capricorn. Mars at Capricorn bestows natives with courage, success, and higher status. But, Mars in Cancer ruins lives with conflicts, and struggles and lacks property-related happiness.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Jupiter: Jupiter exalts at 5 degrees in Cancer and debilitates in Capricorn. When an exalted Jupiter ensures financial security, happiness, and greater knowledge, debilitated Jupiter provides various setbacks in life.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Venus: Venus becomes exalted at 27 degrees in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo. Natives born with exalted Venus are compassionate, creative, and romantic. Whereas debilitated Venus makes natives dull in romance, and super analytic in every situation.
Exaltation & Debilitation of Saturn: Saturn exalts at 20 degrees in Libra and debilitates at the same degree in Aries. Exalted Saturn secures a prosperous career and business. But, debilitated Saturn makes life struggling, unhappy, and unethical.
