Exaltation Series: Moon in Krittika

An exalted planet means this planet has reached the higher point in its own sky. There, the planet feels free to unleash its power for better... Or worse. The sign where the planet is exalted allows the planet to flourish, as well as the nakshatra where the exaltation degree falls.

Moon Exalted in Krittika

Moon gets exalted at 3° of Taurus which is situated in Krittika nakshatra (Krittika: 26°40 Aries to 10°00 Taurus). Here, the Moon is full of soma, the nectar of immortality. Full of vitality, the Moon has reached an uncommon well-being, which leads to a tremendous charisma and, most importantly, a high dose of desires. Charisma and desires are typical traits of Krittika. Its point of exaltation being in the Taurus part of Krittika, this huge amount of inflamed desires is not perceptible at first. Taurus Krittika natives, especially those with the Moon placed there, will not show the openly Aries-type aggressive and passionate nature of Krittika at first but instead, they will show gentleness, politeness and diplomacy. The Moon full of soma does not need to be violent to get what it wants because the Moon feels SO good. Nothing can resist this charming and attractive Moon here. Krittika is ruled by Agni, the God of fire that sustains life, vitality, health. But Agni is also known for his huge appetite. He possesses 7 tongues and he eats the offerings of the mortals to the Gods. Moon's desires get amplified: love of the material world and luxuries get exacerbated. However, Agni is also the messenger to the Gods hence having two heads, one that looks at the world down there and the heavenly realms. Moon exalted here can offer to the natives a spiritual impulse depending on the rest of the chart. It also shows their capability to adapt themselves in different environments and their ability to communicate well. The Moon is the Queen of your chart, she needs to be surrounded by people and she knows how to gently adapt herself. The interesting part of Krittika is the other co-ruler, who is Kartikeya. Kartikeya has a link with Agni as Agni acted as the incubator during his conception. Kartikeya was not born as a child but as a warrior. He did not wait long to lead the armies to fight powerful enemies. The Moon's emotional strength has reached its peak in Krittika and nothing can stop them: the natives are secretly endowed with a warrior nature. The Moon does not like to be disturbed, the Moon wants peace: the Queen will find associates to get rid of those who dare upset her as well as her loved ones. Agni is fire; Moon is water: Moon's point of exaltation shows the mysterious intimate link between fire and water. The Agnichayana ritual involves a huge fire that brings rain; Kartikeya's conception was supported by both Agni the fire and the waters of Ganges. When the exalted Moon gets afflicted, it ignores the ethics. The desires come before everything else. Agni did not hesitate to pretend to be someone else to seduce the wives of a sage... Self-centeredness of a strong and afflicted exalted Moon can lead to overconfidence. Overconfidence leads to thoughtless actions and multiple disasters. Weak exalted Moon natives (waning Moon) will think twice before taking action and they might feel they are not self-confident enough though. Weak or strong exalted Moon in Krittika natives may deal with phobias, mental health issues and impatience. The queen can quickly feel frustrated and jealous, so, do not bother her... Otherwise, you will be surprised!

spending several days with a Rohini and seeing their family and then coming home to my afflicted Moon-ass family is so emotionally devastating :’)

SATURN ⟶ CANCER AND LEO.

♇ by not being the usual people who are used to comfort and nurture, those with cancer and leo in saturn learn to become nurturers and emotionally intelligent. at first, they can be awkward with signs of physical affection, but they go through the journey of loving their body, their inner-child and the lessons life has taught them about self-acceptance.

URANUS ⟶ LEO.

♇ by not being the usual people who are used to society accepting who they are, people with uranus in leo learn to navigate life with comprehending that not everyone is going to love them because of their big energy. they're people who are usually the life of the party, but the uranus in leo puts a social battery in them which causes them to go into hermit mode, but it helps them go on the journey of understanding themselves without the need or help of other people.

NEPTUNE ⟶ VIRGO.

♇ by not being the usual people who are used to order and preciseness, those with neptune in virgo get confused, especially in their mind. could have a lot of deja vu moments that makes them feel crazy. they become more in touch with the spiritual side of life instead of the physical, reaching out to the higher-self and becoming spiritual moguls.

PLUTO ⟶ TAURUS.

♇ by not being the usual people who are used to vast intensity, they are people who have to learn to control their sensuality, their greediness and even possessiveness, this placement is a huge twist to the usual taurus slow-pace, they learn that life doesnt move the way they want it to move and learn to become adaptable in scenarios that involve them thinking quick on their feet.

when planets are in fall they have to find a different and original way to comprehend themselves, there is a big struggle but they gain knowledge and wisdom through the planet they're in.

SUN ⟶ LIBRA.

♇ those with sun in libra might struggle with finding their place in society, so this can cause them to become people-pleasers and even walking matts to everyone around them. they need to learn to live for themselves and not for the pleasure of other people.

MOON ⟶ SCORPIO.

♇ those with moon in scorpio struggle with finding eternal peace, its chaos in their mind and heart, they're vengeful as they normally interact with people who have malicious intent, could be friends or family members, what they have to do is end the cycle, becoming people who transform the hateful energy into something that is healing and creative for themselves and even other people, that's why a lot of musicians that are mass-liked have a scorpio moon, ex, beyonce, miley cyrus, kali uchis and the weeknd.

MERCURY ⟶ PISCES.

♇ those with mercury in pisces struggle with finding confidence, they might've been people who have been ridiculed and pushed to the side by others who demean their intelligence and their spiritual views in life. thus, becoming people who find their tribe who aid them on their journey of being assured.

VENUS ⟶ VIRGO.

♇ those with venus in virgo struggle with finding their true self, thus their need for perfection in themselves and other people. they have to learn to become less controlling and be pleased and grateful for the things and people in their lives.

MARS ⟶ CANCER.

♇ those with mars in cancer struggle with being assured, always double-backing or stalling in projects they can thrive in. always thinking what they give is the worst, paranoia strikes for cancer martians, so they become dependent to other people to make them confident, finding their individuality is a big theme in their life.

JUPITER ⟶ CAPRICORN.

♇ individuals with jupiter in capricorn normally do have it better than most capricorn in planet placements as jupiter gives it a great boost, however as it is in fall, capricorn jupiter natives learn to be people who build their foundations from the start to the top, having to be people who had to become responsible and serious at a young age, most of their childhood might've been taken away from them, so people with this placement learn to have fun with childhood nostalgia that might've been taken away from them.

SATURN ⟶ ARIES.

♇ individuals with saturn in aries have to learn to be disciplined, with aries being such a fiery and excited sign, [plus even a bit immature], the saturn essence practically forces the sign to take life more seriously, they end up becoming people who start projects and goals and finish them instead of leaving it midway through the process. stepping into the roles of leaders, saturn in aries natives learn to be people who can exercise their authority position towards events that can have them flourish in the future.

URANUS ⟶ TAURUS.

♇ individuals with uranus in taurus learn to be people who are unique with the ideas they come up with, most uranus in taurus people are uncomfortable in this placement, because it goes against everything they're used to, peace? now there's chaos? slowness? now its fast. though this makes them very versatile people, when it comes to cooking, baking, writing and even having a unique singing voice people can recognise.

NEPTUNE ⟶ AQUARIUS.

♇ individuals with neptune in aquarius learn to be those who have to break out of social "norms" that are actually unhealthy, this is why many of them make up worlds in their own mind. it's like a way to be free from what society puts them through, however, the coping mechanism can become toxic as they slowly begin to get trapped in their own minds, being maladaptive day-dreamers and unintentionally stopping themselves from taking on tasks in the real life, unaware with how much time passes by, when they finally snap out of it they realise how much time they have lost that could've been used for them to progress in life, what they need to learn is being able to separate dreams and reality and not fall into their own built matrix.

PLUTO ⟶ LIBRA.

♇ individuals with pluto in libra learn to be people who dont need chaos in their life, learning that being negative is really draining. they then become people who allow life to carry them, being non-confrontational with disasters that happen in front of them, unfortunately this sometimes causes them to be people who do nothing in their life. howbeit, this can manifest into them being people who take control, being leaders, politics and humanitarians, they're a huge force and people can end up fearing/respecting it.

Exalted house placements

We often talk about exalted placements only about the signs they are exalted in : Aries sun, Capricorn mars, Pisces Venus,…

Rarely do we talk about the house placements that are exalted and actually are a blessing to anyone who have them.

So no matter the sign, the exalted house placement can create an abundant energy in a birth chart.

Sun in 1st house

Strong will power, incredible energy, easily attract attention without even trying, balanced ego (after many ego deaths), can switch up their style easily, great personality and great leaders.

Moon in 2th house

Sensitive, compassionate, balanced emotions and peaceful inner world, not easily overwhelmed, completely in charge of their behaviours/emotions.

Mercury in 1st house

Sharp and details oriented mind, huge intelligence and learn easily any subject, big boss of debates, smart asf.

Mars in 10th house

Powerful presence, big boss energy, plenty of drive and energy, get things done, goal getter, ambitious and career oriented, bde.

Venus in 12th house

Compassionate, loving, giving, love unconditionally, love has no boundaries, artistic abilities, hidden talents, romantic asf.

Jupiter in 4th house

Great wisdom, fast learner, blessed, spiritual, age gracefully, comes from wealth/big family and if not will have a wealthy life, a big house or a big family of their own.

Pluto in 1st house

Powerful presence and overall energy, divinely protected, high regeneration skills, always come back stronger, power comes from their identity, know who they are deeply.

Neptune in 5th house

Great acting skills, the real drama queens/kings, creative asf, sublime artist, perfect placement to be an actor/singer/entertainer, romantic and mesmerising presence and energy, good intuition.

Uranus in 8th house

The real phoenixes, rise above, constant fast and life altering transformations, cold head, acceptance of changes, always evolving, cannot be tamed, know what’s up, stand in their power, masters of the underworld.

Saturn in 7th house

Establisher of stable and long lasting relationships, work for the greater good, blessed with natural discipline and perseverance, powerful.

This post is based mostly on tropical astrology and also on Vedic astrology because some of these placements are considered the same way in Vedic astrology aka Sun in 1st house, Venus in 12th house, Saturn in 7th house and Mars in 10th house.

Explaining Dignities: Exaltation

The reason why I want to talk about them is because I've actually seen dignities play a big role in readings, as they do describe how well or adverse certain matters can play out for the querent...so here's a little analogy to understand them better!

Context: In Hellenistic (traditional) astrology, exalted planets are said to be like the favorite guests of a given sign (host), so the resources they have at their disposal are equal or even greater than the host's. In other words, imagine a queen or king being invited to a neighboring kingdom, they will be treated with the greatest of honors and commodities! In a practical aspect, this means that the qualities of that planet (the guest) will be able to shine at their maximum, making that particular area of life (house) easier or more fortunate for the owner of the birth chart.

*Mind that below I’m speaking metaphorically of “house” as the SIGN the planet is exalted, and not the astrological house as such (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). *

Sun in Aries: Sun is a friend of Mars, as both rule fire signs and are leaders by nature. Mars is delighted to receive his royal friend, as he’s anxious to show him how noble, honorable, brave, and pioneer he is, and just how much he has achieved on his own. His job is to win wars for the kingdom after all! He’s thrilled to share his best tactics and borrow his friend his most treasured weaponry. The Sun feels comfortable because he has all he needs to command freely in this household, as his creativity, charisma, leadership and authenticity are praised by his friend. Together, they come up with solutions and strategies to conquer whatever they want! They are not afraid of competition or enemies, as both are equally ambitious and powerful in their own ways. Mars trusts the Sun, as he believes nobody is as visionary and talented enough to lead as he does. The Sun, in return, feels even more driven and powerful to accomplish his goals, as he has access to an incredible arsenal and his mission is thoroughly supported by his friend’s energy and fiery ability to execute his plans.  

Personality keywords: high self-esteem, passionate, entrepreneurial, courageous, independent, self-reliant, proactive, resourceful, inspiring, competent, combative, non-stoppable.

Moon in Taurus: The Moon feels really welcomed in one of Venus’ places, as both value beauty, security, domestic life and emotional closeness. They speak the same language, as both love to connect and celebrate relationships. They allure through tact and sweetness instead of brute force as their counterparts (the Sun and Mars) do. The Moon loves Taurus’ palace since she’s fascinated by beautiful art, exquisite food, overgrowing nature, dreamy romance, and abundant wealth… she’s just so inspired and fulfilled with this kind of luxury and magnificence! In here she has firm and solid grounds to step on, so her moods and emotional needs are stable as well. The Moon is able to relax and enjoy life effortlessly as she becomes more in tune with her physical senses and the things that bring her genuine pleasure. With Taurus’ gentle and grounded approach, the Moon lets her love flow naturally in all directions without the fear of being judged, ridiculed, or getting hurt. Like her friend, she is moved to become the glue between the people she’s fond of and attracts what she desires through her feminine and gentle nature. The Moon is so pampered and taken good care of that she’s able to channel her emotional depth and excellent organizational skills towards the growth and embellishment of her relationships and surroundings in a lasting way.  

Personality keywords: soothing, calming, relaxed, adorable, loyal, possessive, down-to-earth, practical, trustworthy, maternal, cozy, warm, gentle, nourishing, wealthy.

Mercury in Virgo: Mercury is always eager to pay a visit to Virgo´s realm, as he feels productive and useful here. As the guest, Mercury has all the mental and practical resources to give his thoughts structure and build all the great things he imagines into reality. Virgo gladly grants her friend access inside her huge library so he can explore his wide range of interests and gives him the key into her laboratory and workshop, places where he can experiment and practice all his learnings and become an expert on what he chooses to. She knows how anxious and critical he can get when he doesn’t rest or when things don’t go his way, so she also allows him to use her gym and provides him the best doctors and nutritionists to ease his stress. Virgo is pleased to see that Mercury quickly understands the importance of wellness and health, as she knows he cannot get his job done without proper self-care. Once relaxed and restored, he feels inspired to be of service, as he believes his quick wit and knowledge are put to good use. Mercury, thus, is motivated to grow, upgrade himself, achieve mastery and share his gifts with the world to make it a better place thanks to the wisdom, tools and care her friend borrows.

Personality traits: methodical, skilled, expert, wise, smart, discerning, perfectionist, high-standards, inventive, detail-oriented, practical, productive, industrious, quick wit, self-made.

Mars in Capricorn: In this sober and ancient residence, Mars is forced to cool down a bit and think before he acts. He understands that there is no one to conquer or outdo but himself. As guest in other households, Mars, as explosive, impatient and ambitious as he is, sometimes can get lost in the way, initiating projects and strategies that he later on drops because he gets bored quickly or doesn’t get the immediate results he wants; he also throws tantrums and whims when this happens, and his anger makes him do reckless and foolish things at times, something other hosts find puzzling or repulsive, where they either encage him or make him submissive, something that irritates and demotivates him even more. Capricorn, his patient and wise host, on the other hand, knows just how impulsive and enthusiastic his friend gets, so he kindly but firmly teaches him the art of discipline to achieve his goals, explaining him that violence is of no use here, but instead, self-control and resilience. After many trials and tests, Mars sees how his dedication pays off, and finds out that with constancy and practicality, his immense passion and drive can get him to unimaginable heights! Capricorn teaches him the required organizational and leadership skills to leave a renowned legacy well beyond his years. With his inborn initiative and fiery spirit channeled into the material realm, Mars is ready to raise an empire if he wanted to!    

Personality traits: ambitious, self-made, responsible, go-getter, director, powerful, resilient, pragmatic, dedicated, strategist, organized, efficient, problem-solver, relentless, strong.

Venus in Pisces: When Venus enters the sacred and watery temple of Pisces, she is mesmerized by the enthralling type of beauty she finds in here. His generous and candid host takes her for a walk throughout the entire temple and reveals to her the mysteries of the universe. He grants her access to his secret chamber, where he teaches her the art of magic and spiritual healing, and lectures her about ancient and mystical knowledge, long forgotten to humankind, but very present and real nonetheless … these are wonders she didn’t knew existed before! Pisces knows how to inspire her soul in the most delicate and virtuous ways by reminding her of her true nature, that of divine precedence. Venus cannot help to spill what’s in her heat, so she asks her friend the tools to create beautiful music, paintings, and poems so she can share them with the world. Magnanimous and wise as he is, Pisces grants all her wishes, but also shows her the secret suffering that people are burdened with, and how cold the hearts of men have become before this pain. Awed and deeply touched, Venus’ empathy and understanding grows, and she starts to see the veil between the material and spiritual realms dissolve before her. She’s never felt such calling before! She knows her mission is to spread beauty, compassion and kindness, and she does this with unconditional love and devotion.    

Personality keywords: romantic, good-natured, fair, balanced, connected, spiritual, creative, artistic, imaginative, warm, gentle, generous, understanding, devotional, forgiving, tolerant.  

Jupiter in Cancer: When Jupiter enters the sanctuary of Cancer, he becomes even more lucky and faithful in life. He radiates joy and candor! This is because Cancer teaches him that without love, good-will alone is not enough to make himself and others truly happy. Jupiter is aware of this, but he sometimes can lose himself in fantasies and utopic scenarios, where he wishes things could be different instead of trying to build them into reality. He dreams and preaches, but he can sacrifice practicality in the process. When Cancer has him over, she shows him how to extend the bridge between good intentions and actions, as she’s amazing at ordering her surroundings and making a heart-felt home wherever she goes because of her innate gift for nurturing. She also helps his friend to tap into his intuition and use his common sense to tame his emotions, which can be boundless at times. She does this by treating him with praise, understanding and acceptance, so he can practice them with himself and others. Jupiter finally feels a sense of belonging, as his good intentions are not abused, misunderstood, or minimized... they are used to make good things happen. Through accessing his more feminine side, Jupiter is compelled to give selflessly more of himself to others, and since he’s in a house that governs creation and karma, what goes around comes around multiplied. By practicing morality, ethics, charity and unconditional love without expecting nothing in return, as Cancer does, he finds out that he attracts the best of fortunes.

Personality traits: kind, compassionate, loving, caring, sympathetic, cheerful, charisma, altruistic, supported, rooted, lucky, fortunate, cozy, happy, benevolent, comprehensive, soft, guided, protective.

Saturn in Libra: When Saturn is in Libra, his sobriety and coldness start to wash off and trade for diplomacy, elegance and a profound pursuit of justice and fairness. In the friendly home of Libra, Saturn feels the need to connect, as her host reminds him the importance of friends, allies, and partnerships. After all, he cannot get ahead in life alone! Saturn’s industriousness and wisdom are channeled into building loyal and lasting relationships, where all parties get what they need equally. Libra knows his reputation well, and although she recognizes that his friend can be a bit stubborn, stern and gloomy at times, she loves to lighten him up and remind him of his noble character, and how it can create enduring and strong bonds. She gives him the mission of justice and impartiality, as she knows nobody is better suited than him for his seriousness and sense of responsibility. Saturn protects and respects Libra and feels empowered because she realigns him with balance and high ideals. He does not feel rejected or lonely anymore. Libra teaches him to relax a bit and to seek pleasure from the warmth of social interactions, and in consequence, Saturn learns to apply his maturity and discipline to persuade others into creating a kinder, fairer and wiser world.   

Personality traits: noble, just, dignified, committed, loyal, elegant, eloquent, responsible, diplomatic, mature, moral, impartial.

Rahu-Ketu Dosha and Marriage 💍❤

I've been seeing this question all over the internet, so I wanted to clarify regarding the Rahu-Ketu dosha and whether you can marry a person without the same dosha and about the cancellation of this particular dosha.

Since there are very few details on this confusion, I wanted to make this post, hope this helps! 🤗

What is Rahu-Ketu Dosha? 🐍

In your birth chart, if Rahu/Ketu is positioned in the 1st & 7th houses, you are said to have Rahu-Ketu Dosha. If you have it in 2nd and 8th houses, there is a partial dosha.

For clarification, Rahu= North node, Ketu = South node (If you are new to vedic astro terms)

Dosha generally means that the planets/shadow planets are afflicted and will give unfavorable results to the individual.

Imo, a Dosha doesn't make you weak, it makes you different from others. Your ideologies and desires differ a lot from the common population, hence you will be incompatible with them.

In this case, a person with Rahu in 1st and Ketu in 7th can be detached from partnerships and dependencies like marriage and would like to concentrate more on their own personal growth and have huge dreams to achieve. With the reverse of the axis, the individual may not want to settle with commitments but can be interested in flings, their confidence is lacking in themselves and dependent more on their partnerships, they may have dreams to have their own business.

Both of these tendencies are extremes and are considered to be not ideal for the general population, hence, People with Rahu-Ketu dosha are advised to marry the person with the same dosha resulting in its cancellation. It's more like marrying a person who shares ur ideologies and way of life and can understand you better.

What if a person you like has Rahu-Ketu dosha and you don't? Or vice versa? Can you marry each other? 🤯💝

This dosha is strictly considered during marriage match making in Vedic astrology, people who don't have the dosha are advised to not marry a person who has it. But what if you are in love with a person having such placement?

Rahu-Ketu dosha is cancelled up to 90% if the birth chart satisfies any of this two rules:

Rahu/Ketu aspected by Jupiter:

Jupiter 's aspects falls in 5th, 7th and 9th house from where he is positioned. Ex.: A person has virgo ascendant and Rahu on the asc, Jupiter is is Taurus sign, now count the 5th, 7th and 9th house from Jupiter's position. Here, Jupiter's 5th aspect falls on Rahu, hence the dosha is cancelled up to 90% in this birth chart.

The house lord where Rahu/Ketu is present is exalted:

Rahu/Ketu are shadow planets and follow the nature of the zodiac sign it is present in. So if the lordship of the house they are present in is strong, the ill-effects of Rahu-Ketu dosha will be cancelled. Ex.: A person has Cancer ascendant and Rahu on asc, the house ruler of cancer where rahu is present is Moon. Moon is positioned in Taurus (exalted), hence the dosha is cancelled up to 90% in this chart.

If your partner who has this dosha, fulfills either of these conditions, get ready for the wedding bells! 💍💕

What about the remaining 10% of Dosha? How will it play out in case of 90% dosha cancellation? 🤔

You don't have to worry about the remaining 10% of dosha. Only during the Mahadasha (Major planetary period) of Rahu/Ketu, you may feel a tiny amount of ill-effects like confused mental state, uncontrollable desires, minor clashes with your spouse etc.

What if you don't have the dosha cancellation aspects in your chart? Can you still marry a person without this Dosha? 😢💍

Good news, Yes you can! Now, cheer up ❤

This Dosha mainly affects your desires and way of looking at life. If you are in love and have a person who understands you, your views & desires and supports you through everything, it doesn't matter whether they have this dosha or not to match with yours.

Doesn't sound convincing enough?

Here's another good news, there is a concept called 'Gandharva Vivaha' in Vedic terms, which means choosing a person you want to marry, in modern terms- A love marriage. It is said that you don't even have to match birth charts between two people whose hearts have been connected beforehand because it is destined to happen this way.

Are there any remedies for this dosha? 🙏

I personally don't believe that much in remedies but if it works for you, I would advise you to visit Kalahasti temple at Andhra Pradesh, India and participate in the Rahu/Ketu pooja.

Please feel free to comment down your thoughts or questions 🤗

In astrology, the planets rule specific zodiac signs, some rule one and some even rule two, they are called the Lord of that particular zodiac sign. But they can also be poweful (exalted)🧬 or powerless (debilitated)🩼 in some of the other zodiac signs which can change the course of the horoscope reading. 🔮

So in this post we are going to talk about the power struggles of each planet in different zodiac sign.📿

⬇️

👑The Rulers

Sun rules Leo

Moon rules Cancer

Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces (Sidereal)

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo

Venus rules Taurus and Libra

Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius (Sidereal)

Mars rules Aries and Scorpio (Sidereal)

Note:- In tropical Pluto rules Scorpio♦️, Uranus rules Aquarius🪬 and Neptune rules Pisces🎏. The zodiac which the planet rules has the basic characteristic of the planet.

💪The Exalted

Exalted means to be in a higher position, so when a planet is exalted, its energies are expressed in a positive way and that planet automatically gives favourable result to the course of horoscope.🎖 If you have any of the planets in their exalted place, you will experience the best of that planet and the area of life it rules.⭐️

Mercury in Virgo

Venus in Pisces

Saturn in Libra

Mars in Capricorn

Rahu (North Node) in Gemini

Ketu (South Node) in Sagittarius

Note:- There is no planet which is exalted in Leo♌️, Scorpio♏️ and Aquarius♒️.

🥀The Debilitated

The debilitated planets are those that are considered to be in their weakest state within a particular zodiac sign and their energies are the one which needs to be work upon by the native in order to make them express positively. 🥉This occures due to the fact that the debilitated zodiac is ruled by the planet which is of the opposite nature of the planet which is debilitated so the clash of energy leads to the weakening of the planet. 🪐

ASTRO BASICS #4: UNDERSTANDING DOMICILE, EXALTED, DETRIMENT AND FALL PLACEMENTS (ESSENTIAL DIGNITIES)

personal planets version

THE ESSENTIAL DIGNITIES:

domicile: the planet is in it's home sign (comfortable)

exaltation: the planet is elevated (comfortable)

detriment: the planet is opposite to the home sign (uncomfortable)

fall: the planet is opposite to the exalted sign (uncomfortable)

when a planet is in domicile or exaltation it means the planet is comfortable in the sign it is in. this results in:

the placement becoming powerful (strong)

the placement being "too much" (overabundance of the planet's energy)

when a planet is in detriment or fall it means the planet is uncomfortable in the sign it is in. this results in:

the placement becoming weak and poorly expressed

the placement becoming "embarrassed" with how to behave or express itself (leads to coping)

i was expecting moon to be exalted in Rohini since Rohini was Chandra’s chief consort :0 interesting how it exalts in a Sun nak. i guess Sun truly does illuminate the moon !!

Yes, it's interesting to see that Moon is exalted in Krittika and not in Rohini. It gives more details about the Moon herself. Of course, Moon feels very comfortable in Rohini as she feels good in Taurus sign and Rohini, where Chandra Moon god plays an important role. 🌛 🌞

Exalted Planets

When a planet is exalted in a sign that means its energy is easily expressed through it. There is potential and motivation when a planet is exalted. While mostly considered a favorable placement, even when planets are exalted, they still have challenges they may face.

Sun in Aires is exalted, this is the easiest place for the Sun. This makes since considering Aries is closely tied to individuality, independence, forwardness, assertiveness, and confidence. The Fire element is very self-focused but Aries tends to carry the stereotype the most. They do represent the head of the body, beginnings, the first, the winner, there is a special self-interest and definition of self for this sign. It is all about personality and ego in a very raw form. But Aries can still worry about what others think - they may care from a more selfish point of view, but they aren't totally immune to self-doubt. This is an impatient and brash sign, and due to their focus on competition, conflict, wants, and ambition they may lack introspection or easily be blinded to their flaws.

Moon in Taurus is exalted, this placement for the Moon is comfortable. The Taurus Moon is steady, takes their time making decisions, can find inner security, and relies on their down-to-earth strength and intuition. They can easily get in touch with both their creativity and practicality. But Moon in Taurus can be incredibly stubborn and find it hard to change their mind - especially about how they feel. They can be naturally cautious, but this can sometimes be pushed to the extreme of being suspicious. Taurus's traits of jealousy, possessiveness, and materialism can still exist here. Moon in Taurus can have a deep insecurity surrounding stability and wanting.

Mercury is exalted in Virgo, Mercury is expressed with ease here but is also refined. Mercury is still quick-witted, clever, curious, and can have a silver-tongue in Virgo - but Mercury in Virgo is also more patient, logical, practical, and efficient. Mercury gets less scattered in Virgo, it is still flexible, funny, maybe gossipy, and certainly smart, but attentive and detail oriented. But Mercury in Virgo can over think, have a lot of restless energy or anxiety, their perfectionist trait can be both a pro and con, and their critical side can be challenging, they likely are their biggest critic. Because Virgo is sometimes sourced as being associated with prudence, shyness, humility, and being accommodating it may surprise that talkative and social Mercury is most comfortable here. But maybe this placement can help clear up misunderstanding for the sign, also it is important to remember Mercury doesn't just rule communication.

Venus is exalted in Pisces, Venus here gets to be the hopeless romantic, the poet, the dreamer, the artist, the lover. Venus in Pisces is very romantic, is imaginative, giving, self-sacrificing, likely affectionate, passionate, and adaptable. Venus in Pisces is not afraid of intimacy in fact this placement is known for trying to join or become one with a partner, sometimes at risk of losing themselves in a partner. Pisces has sometimes been referred to as the one sign that can seem to be compatible with any other sign (Gemini also has gotten this reputation too). But while Venus in Pisces can find it easy to get along with others and easy to love they can be used, put others on a pedestal, may fall in love with an idea or fantasy rather than the actual person, can be manipulative or easily manipulated themselves, and find it hard to separate.

Mars is exalted in Capricorn, Mars in this placement has its sh#@ together. Mars may not seem as impatient or hot-headed here but this is where the planet of war can be strategic, disciplined, thoughtful, and ambitious. While Capricorn usually has a reputation for being cold know this placement is still fully assertive, hungry, and sensual. Mars in Capricorn has good judgment for being cautious and waiting vs. taking action. There can be a ruthlessness about them or a controlling side, which can be seen as flaws, but Mars being the planet of force, aggression, passion, action that can be debatable. Mars in Capricorn can sometimes lack the wisdom or luck that can come with brash decisions and instinct. They can also be hard-headed at times or rely too much on practicality or logic. Mars in Capricorn can also find it hard to express or accept their more physical and passionate side in terms of love and intimacy, despite having a high libido or having ambitious desires in relationships.

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, expanding and generous Jupiter may feel cozy in this sign. Here Jupiter is nurturing, caring, romantic, giving, sensitive, intuitive, and creative. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and with the depths of Cancer many describe this placement has having never-ending generosity, understanding, and sympathy. Abundance comes in warm, healing waters or "killing with kindness". This placement can be loyal, protective, and craves emotional attachment. Jupiter may at times dramatize the flaws of Cancer through being over-protective, easily used by others, may have a touchy or moody side that blinds them, and their attachment may become smothering and/or toxic. There is a soothing and gentle side to this placement but there can also be a stormy side. They may indulge in emotional thrills which could turn a normally cautious and compassionate sign to more of a risk taker or reckless. This placement has potential for experiencing the human condition in a beautiful and sensitive way, they can be great counselors, teachers, and healers. This placement may learn a lot about listening to their intuition and feelings - but they have to be careful of never giving into their own ghosts and waves.

Saturn is exalted in Libra, here Saturn can stay cool-headed and logical but is lightened by this Air sign. Saturn in Libra is able to see both sides of an argument, is objective, patient, and seeks harmony. However Saturn in Libra likely seeks harmony through justice, laws, rules, and structure. This highly intellectual, independent, and calm placement has the advantage of appreciating beauty and believes in fairness but may find that they struggle with intimacy, can be overly detached or logical in relationships, and may always struggle with give and take dynamics or finding balance and equality. Here Saturn is the judge, lawyer, debater, diplomat, and mediator. Maturity involves listening to others, compromise, and cooperation. But Saturn in any sign will still struggle or be challenged when Saturn Return comes around. The relationship between self-love and self-discipline is an important lesson or theme for this placement.

***the most outer planets are debated on their exaltation, some believe all 3 (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) have no assigned exaltation. It is also a common belief that only Pluto has no official exaltation.***

Uranus is exalted in Scorpio, in the sign of transformations + the planet of chaos and change make an intense and unpredictable placement. Here Uranus finds empowerment, liberation, freedom, and rebellion. Uranus is comfortable outside their comfort zone and it doesn't fear anything Scorpio has for it. Here someone is compelled to have a deeper understanding and curiosity for the occult, taboo, power, spirituality, or the human condition. The metaphysical is strongly connected to this placement. Uranus in Scorpio soars high and swims deep. Their "higher mind" is focused on intuition and emotional power and understanding. Here Uranus can also become manipulative, cruel, power hungry, and emotionally draining. Here selfishness and separation can be intertwined in obsession, a search for knowledge, or a desire for control. Self-destruction is not a stranger to this placement despite Uranus being easily expressed in Scorpio.

Neptune is exalted in Leo, finding joy and thrills in this sign's grandeur. Neptune is brave in their creativity, romance, and compassion when in Leo. Self-confidence, a healthy ego, bravery, and honor are important values to this group. But pride, arrogance, and illusions around the self may be their challenges. This generation can dream big and a portion of their goals may come to fruition, while others are left as impractical journeys or experiments. There is a generous and maybe righteous power and warmth about them. At best this placement inspires, motivates, protects, and respects others. At worst there are issues revolving around power imbalances, authority, selfishness, and possible self-delusions.

Pluto is commonly considered not to be exalted in any sign, but a popular theory is that it is exalted in Aries. Pluto in Aries burns a freezing fire, helps Pluto to step out of the shadows and embrace the light and flame, and gives this planet movement with decisiveness and action. Pluto can take its hidden and deep passions and intensity and allow it to shine through with Aries's bravery, openness, and independence. But Pluto in Aries may find that a temper or anger issues are related to their undoing. Aries is associated with aggression, destruction, and war. This generation may witness or be a part of many power struggles. Aries is also associated with rebirth or newness, this group may bring a lot of changes to society, they may redefine leadership, and they could reenergize movements or passions. This generation may have a selfish streak, can be insightful about selfishness vs. selflessness, may easily burn out, can struggle with asking for help or be overly independent to where it encourages isolation and unhealthy competition, may be overly focused on individuality and ego. The last time Pluto was in Aries was early to mid 1800s, the next time it will be in this sign is 2068. Because exaltation is usually seen as a positive influence - this generation may bring about many successful and beneficial changes. But because Pluto is a planet of extremes, destruction, regeneration - the negativities may be on a large scale or very intense. Pluto has also been claimed to be exalted in many other signs as well.

In the tradition of Ozzy Osbourne asking the long-dead Aleister Crowley what went on in his head, this week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we ask the very much alive Max Moon what’s going on in his. As it turns out, he’s working on a third volume of The Abyss of Hallucinations, his RPG setting that merges MÖRK BORG with themes pulled from Crowley’s Book of Lies. The first two volumes, as well as a reprint of Book of Lies were produced as gorgeous zines, but the third will be a frankly stunning hardcover that also collects the contents of those first two volumes. How do you get such a beguiling bauble? On Kickstarter, of course, launching on October 31 in partnership with Exalted Funeral. Happy day!

I have no idea how long this comic will go, I make no promises that it's a long-running thing, or even that it'll get a real and/or complete story arc of any kind. But I'm having fun with it so far, so you get more.

moon into taurus

hopefully i am not the only one who looks forward to the exaltation of the moon every month. more than just letting this lovely lunation *happen* to you, you can *use* it as a very restful, very luxurious, very pleasurable few days to recharge or just do your best to forgive piddly little tedious tasks. what matters can be done very well in this period, and what does not matter should be abandoned or pushed to a more trifling moon.
