A query on planetary strengths

[Guest guest]

I refer to the BHPS.

 

Verses 59 and 60 of Chapter 3 describe that planets in their

moolatrikona give 75% of their full effects.

 

In verses 9 to 12 of Chapter 8, it's stated that the strength of

planets reduce gradually between their exaltation to debilitation

points, and that their strength at intermediary locations can be

arrived at proportionate to their location between the two extreme

points.

 

For me, this seems hard to understand, especially with respect to

Jupiter and Venus. They both have their moolatrikonas next door to

their debilitation rasis.

 

How can there be such a sudden increase in the planetary potency so

close to their debilitation points? Logically, the moolatrikona

positions of Moon and Mercury seem perfect. The moolatrikonas of Sun

and Saturn are beyond their halfway points, while that of Mars

roughly halfway between exaltation and debilitation.

 

Could some enlightened one here spare some time for an explanation?

Please.
