J.N. Bhasin's translation of Vyankatesh Sharma's Sarvarth Chintamani has a nice

explanation of why planets are in exaltation at a certain degree in a sign. I

have reproduced here reason for Sun's exaltation at 10 degrees Aries. The

translation gives explanation for all the planets.

"A question may be raised as to why a particular Planet gets exalted in a

particular sign & degree. So far as we are aware no author has answered this

question. We, however, think that this can be explained on the basis of

spirituality to which astrology owes allegience being its main limb. The 10th

degree of Aries falls in the asterism Ashvini whose lord is Ketu. Ketu has been

declared by astrology as the "Moksha" karka i.e. the significator of salvation.

The Sun is very well known as the "Atma" in the Vedas.

Thus Sun in the 10th degree of Aries means Atma in Moksha, obviously the highest

state that the Atma can aspire to. Thus the exaltation of Sun in the 10th degree

of Aries is perfectly in consonance with the spirutual principles. Now, why is

Sun exalted in Aries and not in Leo or Sagittarius, for if availability of Ketu

is the criterion, this asterism is equally available in Leo & Saggitarius. The

answer to this part of the question is that Leo and Sagittarius belong to the

"Satvik" Sun and Jupiter. The signs of these planets can hardly constitute a

testing ground for the exalted Sun. It is only the sign of the sinful Mars

which can offer a suitable testing ground for the purpose, for the Atma in

Moksha is untouched by sin."

Best Wishes,

Ashwin.
