Exalted and Debilitated Planets
E
xalted and debilitated planets have always remained a
major point of discussion among many astrologers as
well as among many readers interested in astrology. 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 III
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 III
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 III
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.

Exalted Saturn in 1st House
A
ccording to Vedic astrology, Saturn is exalted in a
horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Libra, which
in simple words means that Saturn gains maximum strength
when placed in Libra compared to its placement in all the other
signs. Exalted Saturn is associated with many good things by
many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers
that exalted Saturn 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 Saturn 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 Saturn
in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Saturn in
a horoscope. Accordingly exalted Saturn placed in different
houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic
results depending on the nature of Saturn 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 Saturn is placed in different houses
of a horoscope.
Exalted Saturn in 1st House: When benefic in nature,
exalted Saturn placed in the first house of a horoscope can
bless the native under its influence with good results related
to marriage, profession, finances, health, lifespan, power,
authority and many other types of good results. Accordingly
the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may
Himanshu Shangari
come across some of these good results depending on the
overall tone of their horoscopes. Benefic exalted Saturn in the
first house of a horoscope can bless the native with a post
of power and authority through some job or through politics,
depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. In fact, the
placement of benefic exalted Saturn in the first house of the
horoscope is one of the best placements of this planet when
it comes to bless the native with a post of power and authority.
However, it should be noted that Saturn is planet of
patience and hence it generally doesn’t render the best types
of results to the native during his early age. Even when Saturn
is very good in a horoscope and it has an agenda to bless
the native with some very good results through business or
through some job, it can easily make the native wait till his
age of 35, 41 or even longer. This is due the fact that benefic
exalted Saturn in a horoscope first tries to render more and
more wisdom and practical experience to the native under its
influence so that when it blesses the native with some of the
best things, the native may be wise enough to handle them.
Hence a native who becomes a powerful politician during
the second half of his life under the effect of benefic exalted
Saturn is not likely to be impulsive at all and he is likely to
behave as a seasoned politician.
It means that such politician may not give instant
reactions on some events or on some critical questions asked
from him and he may be very good at keeping his calm, even
during the most adverse type of circumstances. The same
may not happen with natives who become politicians under
the effect of some fast acting planets like Mars and they may
not engage in behavior suitable for a seasoned politician, even
after spending more than 20 years in the field of politics. For
example, if two different politicians are accused of being
9
Exalted Planets - Part III
involved in corruption or in some type of scandal, by media;
their reactions may be different depending on the planets
which influence them the most. The native who has become a
politician under the influence of Mars may engage in counter
allegations and he may even manhandle some media persons.
On the other hand, the politician under the effect of
exalted Saturn may not react in such a way and he may not
lose his temper at all, even when the worst type of allegations
are made against him. This native may keep his reactions
under control and he may simply say something like, “Let
things take their due course and the truth shall come out.”
Even if he is provoked by media to take the names of some
other politicians who may have conspired against him, he may
refuse to blame anyone, unlike the politician under the impact
of Mars, who may take many names even without being
provoked. Hence the natives under the benefic effect of
exalted Saturn in the first house are likely to behave in a wise
way, irrespective of their field of profession. It is due to their
qualities like patience, wisdom, discipline, perseverance and
other such qualities given by such benefic exalted Saturn that
they may keep getting better and better with time, and they
may keep achieving more and more with time. Hence benefic
exalted Saturn in the first house of a horoscope tends to make
the native wiser and more settled with passing years of his age.
Some natives under the effect of such benefic exalted
Saturn may engage in the field of politics and they may
achieve good or very good amount of success through this
field, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. For
example, if benefic exalted Saturn is placed in the first house
of a horoscope in the sign of Libra, benefic Moon is placed in
the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn
and a combination of benefic exalted Jupiter and Venus is
10
Himanshu Shangari
placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of
Cancer, the native may become a politician. Such native may
also engage in some other type of profession before politics
and he may actively engage in politics after his age of 35. For
example, the native under the combined effect of all these
benefic planets may become a doctor and he may achieve
good amount of success as a doctor.
However he may be interested in politics at the same time,
and he may stop practicing as a doctor to join politics on full
time basis, anytime after his age of 35. The native blessed by
such benefic exalted Saturn, benefic exalted Jupiter and other
benefic planets may witness good amount of success through
politics, soon after his engagement in this field of profession.
For example, a well established political party may offer this
native to contest in a public election on their behalf when this
native may be practicing as a doctor. The native may have a
very good reputation as well as a good image due to which, he
may be offered an election ticket by a well established political
party. The native may accept this offer and he may run for
such public election. If benefic Mars is placed in the eleventh
house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo when benefic
exalted Saturn and all other benefic planets are placed in the
already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the native may
win his very first public election.
The native under the combined effect of all these benefic
planets may win his very first public election with good margin
and he may witness very good results through this field of
profession after that. As more benefic influences add to this
horoscope, the native blessed by all such benefic influences
may achieve even better results through field of politics. For
example, if benefic Mercury is placed in the first house of
this horoscope in the sign of Libra along with benefic exalted
11
Exalted Planets - Part III
Saturn; and benefic Sun is placed in the second house of this
horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native may achieve even
more success through the field of politics.
Some other natives under the effect of benefic exalted
Saturn in the first house may achieve a post of power and
authority through many types of government jobs, depending
on the overall tone of their horoscopes. For example, if benefic
exalted Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in
the sign of Libra, a benefic combination of Venus and Mars
is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign
of Aries and benefic Jupiter is placed in the third house of
this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native may join
the army. The native under the combined effect of all these
benefic planets may directly get selected for a high rank the
army and he may achieve good amount of success through
this field of profession. At the same time, if benefic Mercury
is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of
Libra along with benefic exalted Saturn; and benefic Sun is
placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of
Scorpio, the results may improve a lot.
The native blessed by all these benefic planets may appear
in some competitive exams for selection in the army and by
means of success in such exams, he may get selected for the
highest possible direct rank in the army. The combined effect
of all these benefic planets may also bless the native with very
good amount of success and recognition through this field
of profession. At the same time, if benefic Rahu is placed
in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer
and Ketu is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in
the sign of Capricorn, the equation may become even better.
The native under the effect of such benefic exalted Saturn
and all other benefic planets mentioned in this example may
12
Himanshu Shangari
achieve much more success through this field of profession.
Such native may get blessed with the charges of some very
important army operations, he may get many promotions and
he may also serve on a very high level in the army before his
retirement.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Saturn placed in
the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with
problems related to marriage, profession, finances, 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. Malefic exalted Saturn in the first house can
especially prove bad for the professional aspect of the natives
under its influence and it can cause many types of problems
related to their fields of professions. Some natives under
the effect of this malefic influence may not be able to find
permanent jobs or professions till late in their lives and they
may have to remain jobless or they may have to engage in jobs
below their abilities.
Some other natives suffering from such malefic exalted
Saturn may have to face setbacks and losses through their
fields of profession and such problems may intensify if
some other malefic planets support this malefic influence in
a horoscope. In extreme cases, such malefic exalted in the
first house, with the support of some other malefic planets
can make the native remain jobless for many years of his life.
Apart from this, malefic exalted Saturn in the first house of
a horoscope can also delay and disturb the marriage of the
native under its influence and it can also make the native suffer
from financial problems.
