I am trying to learn by extending the same principles to all planets he has taught. Please feel free to correct me. > > Sun > > The graha sun stands for Atman and the self. Aries is the first sign in the natural zodiac and corresponds to the self, physique. Aries is a firey sign and Rajasic in nature. What sun enjoys doing is boosting the activity of the Atma. Thus Aries is the exaltation point of Sun. > > The fifth sign in the natural zodiac is Leo. Its Saatwik in nature. The 5th stands for intelligence. This is Sun's duty or Dharma. Thus Leo is the Moolatrikona sign of Sun. This activity is also what sun is comfortable in performing. Thus Leo is sun;s own house too. Leo is also the place for kings. The giver of Raja yoga is Sun!!!! > > The 7th sign in the natural zodiac is the setting sign too. The sun is weak when he sets. Thus this is the place where sun does not like being as compared to east (Aries from the natural zodiac) where he is strong the 7th sign Libra is his debilitation point. > > Moon > > Cancer is the 4th sign in the natural zodiac. The 4th signifies Mother. What moon (mother) is comfortable doing is taking care of the child. Thus Cancer is the own house for Moon. > > Mother is most happy when the child is fed. The second house in the natural zodiac stands for Food. In broader sense this house also stands for sustenence. Food sustains. Thus moon is most happiest when food is provided to the child. Thus Taurus is the Exaltation point of moon. > > The Dharma or duty of moon also is sustenence.This too falls in Taurus. Thus Moolatrikona of moon is Taurus > > > Mars. > > The first house in the natural zodiac is Aries which stands for physique and it's strength. Mars is comfortable providing strength to the physique. Thus Aries is the own house for mars > > The Dharma or duty of mars coincides with the acticity of boosting strength. Thus Aries is it's moolatrikona also > > Mars signifies action or planned karma. Thus mars is most happiest in the 10th house (karma) of the natural zodiac. This is capricorn. Capricorn is an earthy sign. Mars is most happy in performing defined karma. Thus mars is exalted in Capricorn > > Mars is tamasic in nature. The primodial element of mars is fire. Cancer is a saatwik in nature and it's primodial element is water. All this is opposite traits of mars. The element of water is fluid.. again opposite of earthy as in capricorn. Thus mars hates to be in Cancer. Mars debilitation point is Cancer > > Mercury > > Marcury stands for intellect and communications. The 3rd sign in the natural zodiac, Gemini stands for these attributes. This is what mercury is comfortable doing. Thus Gemini is the own house for mercury. > > Mercury loves debates. Matching one;s wit against another, leading often to aruguements. The 6th house in the natural zodiac is Virgo. As mentioned Mercury does best in debates and arguments. Thus mercury is Exalted in the tamasic sign of Virgo. > > While Mercury is comfortable in gemini performing the actions of communications, the dharma or duty of mercury again in debates and matching wits. Thus Virgo is the moolatrikona of mercury > > Mercury's element is earth and taamasic. Mercury is most uncomfortable in a watery and a saatwik sign pisces. Thus Debilitation of mercury happens in Pisces > > Jupiter > > Jupiter is a Saatwik planet. Jupiter stands for knowledge, wisdom, guru of the many things. Jupiter is most comfortable in a watery sign of pisces analogous to religious practices. Thus jupiter;s own house is Pisces > > Jupiter;s duty is the upholding dharma. Thus the 9th house of the natural zodiac which is the firey saggitarius is where jupiter;s duty lies. Thus Saggitarius is the Moolatrikona of jupiter. > > The 4th house in the natural zodiac is cancer. 4th house is knowledge, teachings of the guru. This is what jupiter is most happy performing.. that is imparting knowledge. Thus Cancer is the exaltation point of jupiter. > > Jupiter is Saatwik in nature. He is most unhappy being placed in a tamasic sign of capricorn. Capricorn also is the 10th house (action or karma) of the natural zodiac. Jupiter inherent nature is to be idealsitc. He does not like performing defined (practical) actions. Thus capricorn is the debilitation point of Jupiter. > > Venus > > Venus is the most refined planet. She stands for marriage and related matters. The 7th sign of the natural zodiac is libra. The dharma of venus is to promote marriage. Thus libra is the moolatrikona of Venus. > > Venus is most comfortable performing the above said activity that is of promoting the institution of marriage. Thus Libra is also the own house for Venus > > The 12th house stands for pleasures of the bed. This is what venus is most happy in bringing out. Thus the 12th sign of the natural zodiac, pisces is the Exaltation point of venus > > The opposite traits of venus is debates and/or arugements.

Thus Rahu owns the 11th sign in the natural zodiac, that being Aquarius > > The 3rd house of the natural zodiac is Gemini and rahu gives creative work. This makes him very happy. Thus Gemini is the exaltation point of Rahu. > > Rahu has little respect for well laid down dharma or conventional rules and wisdom. Thus Rahu is debilitated in Saggitarius > > Ketu > > Ketu has no head. Thus he has no desires. The duty of ketu is the ultimate goal of moksha. The 12th sign of the natural zodiac stands for final liberation from this cycle of birth. Thus ketu's moolatrikona is Pisces. > > Ketu is most happy when he is involved with religious activities.
