Among the 12 Zodiac signs, there is one specific sign in which a
planet functions at its optimum. This is called its sign of
“Exaltation.” The sign which is opposite or 180 degrees apart in the
Zodiac is known as the sign of “Debilitation” for that particular
planet. In debilitated sign, the planet is weak and it causes many
challenges and difficulties in the life of a native.

Basically in the sign of exaltation, the planet functions
freely as per its true nature and delivers positive results in our life.
Conversely, in the sign of debilitation, the planet cannot function
freely because the nature of sign does not
harmonize with the nature of planets. For all planets except Mercury, the signs of exaltation are
different from the signs which are ruled by each planet. For Mercury,
Virgo is the sign of exaltation and it is also ruled by Mercury.
Each Zodiac sign has a dimension of 30 degrees. There is a
specific degree of exaltation and hence a specific degree of
debilitation which are different for every planet. The
Exaltation/Debilitation effects for each planet is highest in the
specific degree of exaltation/debilitation. For the practical purpose of
interpretation of chart, a planet is considered exalted/debilitated in
a particular sign no matter at what degree, it is actually located in
the specific sign.
In this article I want to share with you the explanation
from the nature of the sign and the nature of planet why a particular
sign is considered as the sign of exaltation/debilitation for the
planet. The nature of a sign /planet is mainly determined by the
elements it represents. Let us take each planet and understand for
ourselves.
Sun : Its
exaltation sign is Aries.
The degree of exaltation is 10 degrees. Therefore, the sign of debilitation is Libra and degree of debilitation
is also 10 degrees. The sun represents the fire element. It is the
source of all energy which sustains the entire solar system including
all life form on earth. When Sun is located in Aries which is a cardinal
sign type with fire element; Sun functions best because of the
commonality of the element. The cardinal nature of Aries gives it a
clear direction for action. Fire element gives strong will, ambition,
determination, leadership. On the higher level, Sun in Aries gives
independence,clarity strong judgment and high values.
However, when Sun is located in Libra, it has to interact
with Air element of Libra sign. The air and Fire together will create
uncontrolled energy. It will become like a forest fire which will
destroy everything without creating anything. In an individual, it will
create pride and arrogance which in reality will be because of deep
seated insecurity because Sun is weak and will be malefically disposed
in its inimical sign ruled by Venus. It will give poor perception, lack
of intelligence, low vitality , melancholy and fear, and deviousness or
dishonesty.
Moon : Its
exaltation sign is Taurus and debilitated sign is Scorpio. The degree of
exaltation is 3 degrees. The moon represents water and indicates the
water element in general in the chart. Taurus is a fixed sign with
earth element. W
hen water flows through earth it makes the earth fertile; fixed sign indicates nurturing. Fertile earth nurtures all
planets and all living organisms. Fixed types are firm ,stable and
determined about who they are and what they do. Exalted Moon in Taurus
brings the best of lunar qualities in the person. They seek balance and
harmony in individual relationships and in their organizations of
immediate environment. It gives a strong sense of form and beauty, the
best of lunar qualities It can make them very romantic and devotional
and are often votaries of the idea that all is love manifesting the
highest qualities of Venus, the ruler of Taurus combined with the
highest qualities of Moon.
Moon gets debilitated in
Scorpio which is a fixed sign but with water element. This is kind of excess water like flood which
destroys all the crop. Being fixed sign the water does not flow. It gets
stagnated. In a person this creates excess of unbalanced lunar energies
of past baggage of emotion and feelings. Afflictions to the moon can
show personality disorders, difficulties in relating to other people and
emotional disturbances. It causes lunacy ,as our language reflects in
extreme circumstances specially if it conjuncts with lunar nodes in
Scorpio. However, there is an exception, Scorpio being ruled by Mars is
also a highly mystical sign and can be a vessel for strong psychic
powers, occult etc. Mind is purely dependent consciousness, it has no
real nature of its own. As such, it can function in one of the two ways.
It can reflect inner nature of things or their outer appearance. If
there are favorable Jupiter/Venus or Saturn in the chart, Moon in
Scorpio can actually harness the excess water for high spiritual and
psychic development and is often found in the charts of highly evolved
Yogi and Tantrics.
