Exaltation and Debilitation in Astrology – The Why ?

Exaltation and Debilitation points has to be given to every matter, object, animate or inanimate, conscious
unconscious or in semi conscious state.

1) The stone finds Exaltation point as a Gemstone or Shiv Linga or another carved form of Deity.
Its debilitation point is the stone floor where an accused Criminal stands before his execution.

2) A flower gets its Exaltation point as an offering to a most revered and worshipped idol of the Lord.
Its debilitation point is the space on the prostitutes head band where it lies to entice the customer.

3) A youth who is newly married or about to be married get his exaltation point when he visits his sasural
(father in laws place). His debilitation point is the roadside Bar where he visits to meet his favorite bar tress to enjoy some moments with.

4) A marriage reaches its Exaltation point at the time of Honeymoon. Its debilitation point is the Divorce Court.

The exaltation points of the planets too have been given to show the power of punishment or rewards each
individual deserves in his Life, as per the planet being in Exalted or debilitated state of being in his chart, or being just normal to make him a common man. This power is given in the measure scale of the degrees.

Does a Planet get Exalted or debilitated by Just being placed in a sign???
For instance just because Jupiter is placed In the Zodiac Sign Cancer, must we treat it As Exalted ?

We were originally talking about whether a planet must be considered as Exalted or debilitated by just virtue of being in a particular sign, or not.

Jupiter is Exalted in Cancer at 5 degrees. Here the Nakshatra which appears is Pushya, ruled by Saturn.

Suppose Jupiter is at 5 Degrees in Cancer, for a Capricorn native. This Jupiter would give the native a good
physical strength, happiness through marriage, wealth, wealth also by marriage, and happiness of family.

Suppose this same Jupiter was in 18 degrees Cancer for the same native. Then what would have been the results?

Would we still call it Exalted (which mistake most of the astrologers make)? The native would have been prone to ill health. No connection of this Jupiter to wealth or family happiness. No connection to happiness through marriage, instead would have been worse for marriage and created strife’s in the married Life.

In both above cases The Jupiter is exalted for the same native in the same Lagna and sign and house, but results diametrically different when degrees are different.

So the Degree does matters. All this is not written clearly in the Books available with us, because this knowledge is not meant to fall in wrong hands. It’s when we have the fortune to meet a good Guru and learn from him, that we realize that what appears on surface, may not be what is intended to be known by all.

Triads - Trikonas in Astrology

The Triads-Trikonas in Astrology
1,5,9

Means the present, future and past.
Native-his children-His Father. (The circle of Evolution).
The 9th house of last birth is 5th house of this present Birth.
The 10th house of the Last Birth is the 6th house of this Birth.

To have a remedial measure work in this Life, one needs to have his 5th and 9th house strong.
The 5th and 9th house reveal the real inbuilt nature of the native.

The Trikonas have their own meanings.
For Profession 2-6-10
For Marriage 2-7-11
For Child Birth 2-5-11
For Foreign 3-9-12

4-8-12
Is the GraveYard of all planets.
Here the wealth is hidden.
8th is the mystery house.
Through here you get unearned income.
12th is the house of expenditures and also investment.

2-6-10
10th is Name and fame through Profession.
6th is day to day work. Without work one cannot have name-fame and Dhana.
2 is Dhana or Income.
Even If all these houses are spoiled yet the 10th never lets a person down for 2 square meals if one works sincerely and honestly.
That is why we never find any ordinary worker also sleeping hungry at night.

3-7-11
For business one requires efforts, and 7th house connections and 11th of course for gains.
3rd would be for communications with people represented through 7th through whom you
will acquire gains -11th.

3-9-12
Without these activated one cannot go abroad.

I will come later on the mystery houses, especially 8th, which was the 12th house of our previous Birth. But when I am more free to write on same.

Maya and Retrogression of Planets

Everything is Maya here till one understands the actual truth.

The Sun setting is a Maya for many who don't know that the Sun is always there..
The Flat earth was a Maya till they understood it is round.
You and me are Maya until we go up.
Pluto was a Maya until now till they understood that it is not a Planet.
When we say that two planets are in conjunction in same degrees, does not mean that they are actually kissing each other.
Because when we watch from a point on earth the angular distance makes them to be seen
together from here, whereas they may be millions of Miles or Light Years away from each other. This is Maya.
The 7 colors of the Rainbow may be Maya for us, for actually there may be many more, but we will have to reach the heavens to know the truth.
The space we know of as empty, may not be actually so, there may be many worlds there in the Universe, which may not be seen with our eyes through the mortal body.. There may be many more Universes we may not know of.
The 3 dimensions we know may be Mayavic truth, whereas there may be another dimension too which this physical body may not be able to fathom, and which may be the truth.

There are hundreds of such truths we know as truth, till we come to know what actually the
truth is. Till then, it is all Mayavic truth for us.

Remember truth is a relative term. For the person who has never come out of a island in remote jungle, a tape recording voice of a tiger growling may be truth to him, that a tiger is there nearby.
For a very great astrologer just watching a Natal chart without planetary degrees given , for few moments glance may bring out the truth whereas for mediocre astrologers, it may not come out
even with hundreds of statistical Data sheets taken out of the Printer .
The quotient is realization. The more realization and intuition coupled with studies one may have devoted to, the more nearer to the truth would he be.

In a Divine science like astrology, it is very necessary and a boon for all of us, that there are no single shot rules working for cause and effect in reality. And rightly so, for
astrology is not meant to be in hands of every Harry,Dick and Tom. There has to be a mixture, a synthesis of rules, with proper study of Bhanga (Cancellation of these Rules)part of these, along with the other requisites I mentioned above, for one to predict. It cannot be everyone's cup of tea.

Talking of retrogression, when we are traveling in a train, sitting near the window, and when another train passes speedily on the parallel track next to ours, we feel sitting in our train, that our train is actually going behind, when the truth is that it is also moving forward, but slow in comparison to the other train which we are watching. This is the same state of retrogression of planets. All imaginary.

We can never be able to interpret retrogression completely because there are various angles to each.

1) Retrograde Planet in The Kendras.
2) Retrograde Planet in evil Houses.
3) Retrograde planets as Lords of evil Houses.
4) Retrograde planets as benefic Lords
5) Retrograde planets in conjunction with other retrograde planet.
6) Retrograde planet in conjunction with Exalted Planet.
7) Retrograde Planet in conjunction with Debilitated Planet.
8) Retrograde planet in own house.
9) Retrograde planet in inimical house.
10)Retrograde planet coming out of debilitation.
11)Retrograde planet moving towards exaltation.
12)Retrograde planet in 6,8,12th in Natal but in good house in Navamsha chart.

I can write another 20 placements like above. Can anyone possibly answer the results of all above? Then there are 9 Planets and 12 houses. How to contend with so many permutations

and combinations ? It is not possible humanely.

But individually answers can be sought and found. Every astrologer has to search for his own way and style of judgment which should be changeable and flexible throughout his Life. Intuition has to be developed, which would give the answer when one is
watching a chart. There can be no hard and fast or rigid rules for retrogression. Everyone has to find his own answer. Because there are contradictory results written by various famous astrologers, so which one to believe and which one to not ?
This has to be an individual decision.
Therefore we may be able to/ and we may not be able to so far interpret retrogression completely. Depends on individual to individual.

Yet we do have some basic rules on retrograde planets which we shall take up some other day.

Astrological Pointers to Education

Astrological Pointers to Education
The 4th, 9th and 11th are the houses to be studied in any Horoscope if one wishes to
check ones education . 4th is to be seen for academic, school upto SSc level or school level and B.Com graduation or College levels maximum. 9th to be seen for Higher educations or Phd,Research, Chartered Accountancy, Law, Actuary, Doctorate, etc. and others where deep study is required. 11th connected to above would show fulfillment. 3rd connected to above would show hindrances. 8th connected to above would show stoppage or disconnections. 6th house too would denote a person preparing for competitive examinations like CET,CAT, entrance as such , because 6th shows laborious hours given to study and also 12th from 7th which means loss to others and gains to You in competition.

Mercury and Jupiter would be natural Karakas (Significators)for Education.

Break in Educations
This is individual destiny that even with best of intellect,
resources, and conducive atmosphere, one is not able to complete his education.
Normally if you see the reasons in thousands of cases it all comes
down to 3rd and 8th houses and also the 10th figuring in the Calculations.
These are 12th or negation to the houses of completion of study
i.e. 4th ,9th and 11th.

Example-
Suppose in case when a school going childs father gets transferred quite frequently to various cities due to his profession or service, then in the boys chart every time his 3rd house would be activated. Or if sudden accident or hospitalization occurs at time of SSC or Board examinations then his 8th house would be activated.
Or at B. Com level starting if any boy who has family business and his father needs him in the business then his 10th house would be activated. In all above cases breaks would be there in education.

I want to write more on this, but some other time. because other houses also play a part like 5th
(would cause laziness), 9 + 10th, 8 + 9th and many other such combinations which will cover all practical
cases where we don’t find apparent reasons for one not completing his education though person is very smart and born in affluent family with own study room, enough money, tuitions, coaching classes, and access to all modern means of increasing ones levels of understanding
the subject he is into.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE POINTERS IN ASTROLOGY

Marriage and Divorce Pointers in Astrology

Marriage
Normally only the 7th House is seen for marriage,in a Horoscope, but this is not the case always, even if the 2nd and the 11th house is activated, by MahaDasha or antarDasha then the marriage can take place in that period. Why ? because the 2nd house also means the family would grow and 11th also means longterm relationship or friendship in otherwords. 7th we already know very well about.

Seperation or Divorce
For seperation for some time or divorce one may also check the houses 1st, 6th and the 10th for
the cause, whether these show up in any way when the incident took place. Here these
houses come up because 1st is the 12th to 2nd, 6th is the 12th to 7th and 10th is the 12th from 11th.

further
One may also find in case of legal seperations ie. documented seperation or legal divorce,
the third house also figuring most of the times, alongwith the aforesaid ones.
The 12th also comes up if either of the spouse runs away or leaves the other and goes
in another place.
In cases where either husband or wife leaves another if one is suffering from
diseases like AIDs etc. check if the Dasha shows the 6th and 12th house in action.

Venus would be the natural karaka or Significator for Marriage.

PROFESSION AND FINANCE

Profession and Finances - Which Houses to check in a Horoscope ?

The Sun is the main Governor for Profession and independent business, while Saturn for Job or service, or employment.

The Role of the 6th house in Finance, Business or Employment
The 6th house shows the service one will do and also money received from those services given. Not many astrologers remember that the 6th house being 12th to the 7th shows loss to others or of opposite party and gain to self. Normally most see the 6th house only for disease. The 10th house shows one profession which may be both, either service or business.

Service or Job
So for service always check 2nd, 6th and 10th house.

Independent Business or Profession
For independent businesses check houses 2nd, 7th and 10th. 7th is the main house
for dealing with others.

Loss of Job- termination from current Job or employment
Whenever the 1st 5th and 9th House operates,there would be change of profession in ones life. Why because they are 12th from the 2nd, 6th and 10th respectively, Therefore would negate their previous ones.

Promotion
To see any promotion, rise in career, or fortune, or re-instatement in old service,see houses, 2,6,10 and 11.

Transfer
For transfer check the houses 3, 10 and 12. Why ?
3rd house indicates journey, being 12th from the 4th shows removal of present residence,or being away from it, i.e..change of place. 10th shows employment we know already from above. and 12th shows life in completely unfamiliar atmosphere or surroundings.

Suspension from Job
For getting suspended from ones job, check houses 1,8,9 and 12.
Again Why ? because 1st is the 12th from 2nd - which means absence of self earning. 8th means suspension in any form or penalty. and since 9th is 12th from the 12th, denotes absence of status, position,power and fame. 12th we all know is loss in general.

Retirement
For retirement from service or dismissal check houses 1,5,9 and 12. also for loss of
status in any walk of life. Because 5th is the 12th from 6th which denotes absence of
attendance of native from regular duty. Regular attendance in duty is also shown by
the 6th house.

Gratuity and Provident Fund
The 8th House will also show gratuity and provident Fund,if the native is asking about
this at his time of retirement and if 8th house appears in front of astrologer, he should
surmise thus. Of course this 8th house must appear alongwith figures of either, 2, 6 or 11.

Gain of Finance
Houses 2,6th and 11th should be consider for gain of money in any manner.

Lottery
2nd , 3rd, 6th and 11th should be considered for gain from lottery. 3rd also shows help
received from others by the way.The 8th also shows unearned income.

Speculations and Horse racing
2,5,6 and 11 for gain from speculation and races. 5th also shows inclination of
one towards speculation. Jupiter here becomes the chief significator for Money.
