Many astrologers believe that if a planet is exalted in a horoscope, it will always give benefic results to the native, which means that an exalted planet is always a benefic planet in a horoscope. The same astrologers believe that if a planet is debilitated in a horoscope, it will always give bad results to the native, which means that a debilitated planet always behaves as a malefic planet in a horoscope. Over a period of many years, so many good things have been said about exalted planets and so many bad things have been said about debilitated planets, that a majority of people interested in astrology have fixed their opinions about these planets. These people consider an exalted planet as a blessing in a horoscope and they consider a debilitated planet a curse in a horoscope. However, this is not true and the exaltation status as well as the debilitation status of a planet has nothing much to do with the working nature of such exalted or debilitated planet in a horoscope. Before continuing with this discussion, let’s first get to know the sign of exaltation as well as the sign of debilitation for each planet among navagraha. Sun: Sun is exalted in the sign of Aries and Sun is debilitated in the sign of Libra. Moon: Moon is exalted in the sign Taurus and Moon is debilitated in the sign Scorpio. Exalted Planets - Part II Jupiter: Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer and Jupiter is debilitated in the sign of Capricorn. Venus: Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces and Venus is debilitated in the sign of Virgo. Mars: Mars is exalted in the sign of Capricorn and Mars is Debilitated in the sign of Cancer. Mercury: Mercury is exalted in the sign of Virgo and Mercury is debilitated in the sign of Pisces. Saturn: Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra and Saturn is debilitated in the sign of Aries. Rahu: Rahu is exalted in the sign of Gemini and Rahu is debilitated in the sign of Sagittarius according to one belief of astrology. Rahu is exalted in the sign of Taurus and it is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio according to another belief of astrology. Ketu: Ketu is exalted in the sign of Sagittarius and Ketu is debilitated in the sign of Gemini according to one belief of astrology. Ketu is exalted in the sign of Scorpio and it is debilitated in the sign of Taurus according to another belief of astrology. Moving ahead, the placement of a planet in its sign of exaltation only indicates that the planet is very strong and the results produced by this planet are going to be significant ones. But those results may be significantly positive or significantly negative depending on the nature of such exalted planet in a horoscope. For example, exalted and positive Saturn is capable of producing strong positive results regarding the significances ruled by it, regarding the house it is placed in and regarding the planets and houses it aspects. On the other hand, there is almost no planet in a horoscope which may be as destructive 2 Himanshu Shangari as negative and exalted Saturn. Malefic Saturn placed in Libra can be destructive, very destructive or extremely destructive and it can completely destroy the significances of the houses and planets under the effect of its placement or aspects. I have personally witnessed many cases where Saturn is exalted and negative in the horoscope and the natives are suffering from great pains and difficulties in different fields of their lives depending on the placement of such malefic exalted Saturn in their horoscopes, as well as depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. The most surprising as well as the most upsetting thing is that most people suffering due to such negative exalted planets are finding the cause of their miseries and sufferings in some other planet. This is because these people believe that an exalted planet simply means a strongly positive planet and it is never supposed to cause any harm. Due to this misconception, they are not able to find the planet responsible for their sufferings till late in their lives, and sometimes throughout their lives. These people just keep guessing about which planet can be the cause of their sufferings and misfortunes. In some cases, their misconception about an exalted planet in their horoscope is so strong that they are not willing to believe even an astrologer who tells them that an exalted planet in their horoscope is working negatively and it is the root cause of most of their problems. Such people refuse to believe this astrologer and they look for some other astrologer who can find the cause of their problems with some other planet which is not exalted. When it comes to find such planets, the easiest planets in a horoscope to blame for all the sufferings, misfortunes and problems are debilitated planets. Talking of debilitated planets draws attention to one more misconception that prevails strongly among the people 3 Exalted Planets - Part II interested in astrology. It is generally believed by most people and many astrologers that a debilitated planet simply means a negative planet and it can only cause problems and sufferings to the native having such debilitated planet in his horoscope. This is again a misconception and a debilitated planet simply means that it lacks strength. Accordingly it may not be able to protect the significances ruled by it in a proper way and so the results produced by such debilitated planet may not be significant ones. But whether those results will be positive or negative has nothing to do with the placement of this planet in its sign of debilitation. The positive or negative results produced by a debilitated planet usually lack the strength which is needed to produce significant results and that is why it is called debilitated or weak. However, a debilitated planet can be malefic as well as benefic and it can even be the most benefic planet in a horoscope in spite of being in its sign of debilitation. It is the time to know that just like us humans, planets also possess three essential qualities and to be precise, we copy these three essential qualities from these planets, since they influence us. The first one among these qualities is physical strength which means how strong or weak a planet may be when it comes to work and produce results in a horoscope whether such results are positive or negative. The placements of different planets in a various houses of a horoscope, in various signs, and in various nakshatras are some of the most effective ways of measuring the physical strength of these planets. Even among these common measures, the most effective way to measure the strength of a planet among navagraha is to check its placement in a particular sign among the twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces. Each planet among navagraha is the weakest when placed in one of these twelve 4 Himanshu Shangari signs, it lacks strength in some of these signs, it does well in some of these signs, it is strong in some of these signs and it is the strongest in one of these signs. The sign in which a planet achieves maximum physical strength is called its sign of exaltation and the planet so placed in this sign is called an exalted planet. On the other hand, the sign in which a planet achieves maximum physical weakness is called its sign of debilitation and the planet so placed in this sign is called a debilitated planet. However the presence of different planets in different signs is a measure of their physical strength and such placements do not have much impact on their working nature, though they may certainly affect a part of their working nature in some cases. The second essential quality possessed by the planets among navagraha is their working nature and the third quality possessed by them is their level of activity. The working nature of a planet is decided based on a complex set of calculations and it is undoubtedly the most complex as well as the most difficult job for an astrologer, when he analyzes a horoscope. The placement of a planet in any one of the twelve signs including its sign of exaltation and its sign of debilitation can have some weight in deciding the working nature of a planet, and nothing more than that. The third essential quality called the level of activity is the virtue which tells us how active or passive a planet may be in a horoscope. It should be noted that physical strength and level of activity are two different things and they should not be confused with each other. For example, a physically well built person may be passive or lazy whereas as a physically average looking person may be quick and hardworking. Similarly, a physically strong or weak planet may be very active, active, less active or least active in a horoscope. 5 Exalted Planets - Part II Hence the working of each planet in a horoscope is defined primarily after calculating these three aspects for such planets in a horoscope, though there are many other factors which may affect the working of a planet in a horoscope. Among these three essential qualities, the exaltation or debilitation status of a planet is just a measure of its physical strength and not much more than that. For example, debilitated Moon placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio may be very weak by virtue of its debilitation, it may be benefic in that horoscope as decided through a set of calculations done to find out the working nature of a planet, and it may be very active in that horoscope as once again calculated through a set of calculations for the same purpose. It means that such debilitated Moon will try to do good things for the native every now and then, but it may not be able to produce sufficient good results as it is weak. Hence the native may come across many good opportunities in many spheres of his life from time to time, but most of them may not materialize due to such weakness of benefic Moon. On the other hand, if the same debilitated Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope, it is malefic and active; it may produce bad results from time to time, though they may also not be significant ones. Hence the native may have to face small issues and tensions from time to time, but they may get sorted in most such cases. Similarly, exalted Moon placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus may be benefic and active. In this case, such benefic exalted Moon will try to benefit the native and such benefits may be actively felt by the native, many times in his life. This is because such benefic Moon is strong by virtue of its exaltation and hence it can initiate good things, as well as complete them. On the other hand, if exalted Moon 6 Himanshu Shangari is placed in the first house of a horoscope, it is malefic and active; it can trouble the native with intense types of problems which may be actively felt by the native from time to time. This is due to the reason that such malefic Moon is strong and hence it can initiate bad things and then complete them. Hence the presence of a planet in its sign of exaltation or the presence of a planet in its sign of debilitation is only a measure of its physical strength or weakness and nothing more than that, to a great extent. Therefore a debilitated planet can also be a benefic or even the most benefic planet in a horoscope whereas an exalted planet can also be a malefic or even the most malefic planet in a horoscope. The placement of a planet in a particular sign is not a measure of its working nature and it is more a measure of its physical strength or its style of working in a horoscope. Vedic astrology lays many important guidelines for deciding the working nature of a planet in a horoscope and those guidelines should be used to decide the working nature of a planet in a horoscope. It should be understood that even a debilitated planet can form some of the best yogas in a horoscope if it is benefic in that horoscope. On the other hand, an exalted planet can cause some of the worst types of problems to the native under its impact, if it is working negatively in his horoscope. 7 Exalted Venus in 1st House A ccording to Vedic astrology, Venus is exalted in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Pisces, which in simple words means that Venus gains maximum strength when placed in Pisces compared to its placement in all the other signs. Exalted Venus is associated with many good things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that exalted Venus always works positively in a horoscope and it brings good results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and exalted Venus can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration. The word exalted simply relates to the strength of Venus in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Venus in a horoscope. Accordingly exalted Venus placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Venus as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when exalted Venus is placed in different houses of a horoscope. Exalted Venus in 1st House: When benefic in nature, exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results related to his marriage, profession, finances, fame, overall well being and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across Himanshu Shangari some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic exalted Venus can especially give very good results related to the professional sphere of the native due to which the natives under its influence may get good results through many professional spheres. Since Venus is the planet of beauty and creativity, benefic exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with these qualities and accordingly the native may succeed in professional spheres where these qualities are valued. Some natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Venus may enter into professional spheres like acting, singing, dancing, writing and many other types of professional spheres which require beauty, creativity or certain special abilities in order to give good results. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Mercury is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and benefic Jupiter is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may become a singer. Such benefic combination of these planets may produce better results in the horoscope of a female than in the horoscope of a male. The female native under the combined effect of such benefic exalted Venus and all other benefic planets may become a singer and she may achieve good amount of success as a singer. At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and benefic Mars is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the equation may improve. This is because the presence of such benefic Moon in its own sign and benefic Mars in its sign of exaltation can provide much more positive energy to this equation. Accordingly the female native under 9 Exalted Planets - Part II the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve much more success as a singer and she may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition as a singer. The addition of benefic Ketu to the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and that of benefic Rahu to the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries can supply much more energy to benefic exalted Venus in the first house and all other planets in this example. Accordingly the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may not only be famous on national level, but her fame may spread to some other countries also. The addition of benefic Saturn to the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer can further enhance this equation. Hence the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may now become a famous international singer and she may have millions of fans in many countries of the world. Such female native may earn huge amount of money and fame as a singer and she may become an iconic star or an iconic celebrity. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the female native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may achieve even more success as a singer. Such benefic exalted Venus in the first house of a horoscope can also bless the native under its influence with a post of power and authority in some government department, by virtue of a job or through politics. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Mars is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native may become a revenue officer in some government department. Such native may work in 10 Himanshu Shangari some revenue department or in some taxation department of government. At the same time, if a benefic combination of Sun, Moon and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the native may become an income tax officer or some other similar type of officer. However if the same benefic combination of Sun, Moon and Mercury is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets may become a revenue intelligence officer. Such native may investigate big matters related to revenue frauds and he may achieve good amount of success as a revenue intelligence officer. At the same time, if benefic exalted Saturn is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus, the equation may improve. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a well recognized and successful revenue intelligence officer and he may not only investigate revenue frauds on the national level, but he may investigate some revenue frauds committed by some international groups also. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets may achieve even more success through this field of profession. On the other hand, malefic exalted Venus placed in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, health, lifeline, reputation and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some of these natives may have to feel the heat of this malefic influence in the sphere of their professions and accordingly the may not be able to properly 11 Exalted Planets - Part II establish in their professions, till late in their lives. Some other natives suffering from malefic exalted Venus in the first house of their horoscopes may have to face losses, failures, setbacks and bad reputation through the sphere of their professions. Such problems may intensify if there are other malefic planets in their horoscopes, which support such malefic exalted Venus in the first house of their horoscopes. For example, if a malefic combination of exalted Venus and Jupiter is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and malefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the native under the combined effect of these malefic planets may witness problems in his profession. It should be noted that though Jupiter is placed in its own sign in this example and Venus is placed in its sign of exaltation, this combination can still bring bad results for the native, if it turns malefic in the horoscope. Hence the native may not be able to find a proper profession till late in his life. At the same time, if malefic Sun is also placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with malefic Saturn, when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become even worse. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may not only have to remain jobless for long periods of time, many times in his life, but he may also have to face losses and bad reputation through his field of profession. At the same time, if malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with Moon; and malefic Ketu is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with malefic Saturn and Sun, the equation may become disastrous. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may not be able find a permanent 12 Himanshu Shangari profession till the end of his life. Frustrated by being jobless, such native may enter into the life of crime and he may have to face a long term imprisonment by virtue of some crime committed by him. Such native may also get killed in a planned or unplanned violence, while engaging in some type of crime. 13 Exalted Venus in 2nd House W hen benefic in nature, exalted Venus placed in the second house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, fame, education and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic placement of exalted Venus can render some creative or special abilities to the native and accordingly some natives under its effect may succeed in professional fields which require creative or special abilities. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and a benefic combination of Saturn and Rahu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra when Ketu is placed in the third house of this horoscope, the native may become an actor. Such native may act in some television programs or he may act in some movies in supporting roles and he may achieve good amount of success through this field of profession. At the same time, if benefic Jupiter is present in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with benefic Mars, the equation may improve a lot. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may now become a lead movie actor and he may work in some very good main stream movies. Such native is likely to work in a big movie industry and he is also likely to get some movies with big budgets, due the combined effect of benefic exalted Venus in second house and all other benefic planets mentioned in Himanshu Shangari this example. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native may achieve even more success and fame as an actor. For instance, the presence of a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini or in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo can increase the amount of success achieved by this native through this field of profession. Taking another example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Ketu is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, Rahu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native may become a singer. Such native may achieve good amount of success as a singer and he may also become famous among a good number of people in a geographical region within a country. However the addition of benefic Moon to the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra can improve this equation a lot. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may now become a singer of national fame and he may earn very good amount of fame, money and success as a singer. The addition of benefic Mars to the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus can add even more positive energy to this equation. Hence the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a very famous singer in a country and he may attract very good amount of money, fame and success through his gift of singing. Such native may appear in many live performances and he may become known for his energetic style of singing as well as for his energetic and vivid 15 Exalted Planets - Part II type of live performances. The addition of benefic Jupiter to the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus can enhance the results even more. Accordingly the native may now become one of the most famous and successful singers in a country and he may witness great amount of money, fame and success coming his way, through his gift of singing. The combined effect of such benefic exalted Venus in the second house and all other benefic planets can also bless the native with some formal awards for some of his songs. However this is not the end of good things this native can get and these good results can increase a lot by the presence of the most important planet in this horoscope, in a specific house of this horoscope, as well as in a specific style. If benefic Saturn is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus and Mars, the native may become a singer of international fame. At the same time, if benefic Saturn placed in the second house of this horoscope turns retrograde, the results may become wonderful. The native under the combined effect of this benefic combination of retrograde Saturn, exalted Venus and Mars in the second house of his horoscope in the sign of Pisces; and all other benefic planets already mentioned in this example may achieve wonderful results. Such native may become one of the most successful as well as one of the most famous international singers of his time and he may witness huge amount of financial incomes, fame, success and recognition through this field of profession. Apart from making the native succeed in creative fields, benefic exalted Venus in the second house can also bless the native with a post of power and authority in some government department, when supported by the rest of the horoscope. For example, if benefic exalted Venus is placed in the second 16 Himanshu Shangari house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, benefic Saturn is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo and benefic Ketu is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer when benefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house, the native may become a revenue officer in some government department. At the same time, if benefic Mars is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the equation may improve a lot. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may directly get selected for a high rank in a revenue department or in a taxation department of government and he may achieve very good amount of success through this field of profession. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may witness even more success through this field of profession. For instance, the presence of benefic Moon in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus can increase the good results witnessed by this native through this profession. Similarly, the addition of benefic Jupiter to the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus can improve the results even more. Apart from this, benefic exalted Venus in the second house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results through many other professional spheres. Such benefic influence can also bless the native with very good marriage and overall finances when supported by the rest of the horoscope. On the other hand, malefic exalted Venus placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, finances, 17 Exalted Planets - Part II health and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives under the effect of this malefic influence may face problems in their professional spheres and they may not be able to get a proper profession till late in their lives. Some other natives suffering from malefic exalted Venus in the second house of their horoscopes may have to face losses and setbacks through their fields of profession. Such malefic influence can also trouble the native on account of health problems and such problems may intensify, if at the same time, there are some other malefic influences in the horoscope of a native under consideration. For example, if malefic exalted Venus is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, malefic Ketu is in the seventh house in the sign of Leo, malefic Rahu is in the first house in the sign of Aquarius and malefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may become a drug addict. At the same time, if a malefic combination of debilitated Sun and Mercury is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra, the problem may intensify. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may become addicted to some harmful drug and he may consume it in heavy quantities on regular basis. If at the same time, malefic Saturn is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo along with malefic Ketu, the worst may happen. The native under the combined effect of such malefic exalted Venus and all other malefic planets mentioned in this example may die at a young age due to drug overdose or due to some disease inflicted on him by the regular use of a harmful drug in heavy quantities, unless there is some life saving planet or combination present in the horoscope of this native. 18 Enjoyed reading this sample?
