Exaltation and debilitation signs for lunar nodes

[Guest guest]

Please share, if possible:

 

1. Which signs you consider as the exaltation and debilitation signs

for rahu and ketu?

 

2. Classic source if known or even modern source if known, for this

information.

 

3. Do you use these signs when considering the nodes in general

considerations (yogas, dashas etc) or in special situations (chara

dasha, for instance)?

 

Information provided with examples would be most helpful but I would

not mind hearing general and anecdotal views about this topic.

 

Thanks for your help and time.

 

Namashkaar,

Dear RR,

 

I have used three types of exaltation and debilitation signs

for the lunar nodes as follows:

1. Rahu is exalted in Taurus and Kethu in Scorpio

(rahostu vriShabham ketorvrishchikam tungasamjn~akam) from

the classical BPHS- Ch 47 - dashaaphalaadhyaaya - verse 35.

Since no degree etc are given, I have chosen 15 degree as

the paramoccha(maximum) point in Vrishabha and Vrishchika

for Rahu and Kethu. Being mid-sign, they reduce confusion.

Debilitation is 180 degree opposite, obviously. But somehow

it looks like a later addition to BPHS. Whenever there is'TU',

as in 'rAhostu'(In sanskrit TU has no meaning, but an emphatic

meter-completing syllable), I doubt its originality!

 

2. A Node gets exalted in whatever sign it is, if the owner

i.e. the dispositor or the sign lord is exalted. This is

purely my concept, based on the logic that the nodes follow

the owner/dispositor. Though this, is not unconditional,

has worked well in judgement. This logic can separate nodes

for study, by not accepting unconditional exaltation of BOTH

nodes at the same time. Similarly, the node is taken as

debilitated whenever its sign lord is debilitated.

 

3. A lunar node gets exalted when Luna(Moon) gets exalted.

This also is purely a result of my studies. This, in my

experience, is a key to know nodes acting as THEMSELVES,

and not like their owner/dispositor nor like Saturn-Mars.

Similarly, the debilitation follows debilitation of Moon.

 

 

I have used all the above in timing events using Vimshottari Dasha.

I think I have all three individual eg. charts and even those

which satisfied 2 or all 3 of the above three conditions. One such

chart belonged to an ex-millitary serviceman turned-teacher.

Let me post his chart shortly.

 

yours humbly,

KAD
