Planets in exaltation and fall

[Guest guest]

I've been looking over the charts in ADB with Jupiter conjunct the

ascendant (5 degree orb) in Cancer (exaltation) and Capricorn (fall). It

seems that there are two factors going: personality traits which are fairly

constant no matter what sign Jupiter is in (Ed K. is correct there) and

events/circumstances. Here is where the differences show up. This is

similar to the results I found with Mars in either exaltation or fall

aspecting a 10th house Moon.

 

We end up with a picture that correlates with what the Indian books say: a

planet in exaltation (in a prominent position in the chart) brings some

kind of fame and fortune and a planet in its fall brings no particular

distinction or it brings misfortune along with fame. If Jupiter conjunct

the ascendant in its fall doesn't hinder fame (because of counteracting

planetary influences), then there is likely to be some problem or

misfortune in the life related to Jupiter.

 

As an example there is Jane Fonda (Asc 5.3, Jup 7.3 Cap) who was bulimic

(afflicted Jupiter?) and her mother committed suicide.

 

Orbs should perhaps be wider. Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's

disease has 25.3 Cap rising with Jupiter at 13.5. He was famous and

popular, but developed a debilitating disease. Yet, he appears to have

Jupiter's optimism and cheer. (Mars in its fall--Cancer--opposes the

ascendant (body-brain) to the exact MINUTE.

 

Although I consider mainly the Moon and its aspects to designate

personality, if planets are conjunct the ascendant, they seem to also

relate to personality.

 

Also if a planet in its fall opposes another planet in its own exalation

sign (unless that planet is also in its fall), that seems to negate any

neagative influence of the planet. So Jupiter in Capricorn aspecting the

Moon in Cancer would behave like an unafflicted Jupiter. But in Michael

Fox's case, two planets in their falls oppose each other. There are a

number of ways in Jyotish that the effects of a planet's fall can be

cancelled. (Jyotish does not use the western signs of debilitation opposite

a planet's own sign.)

 

ADB was set for the Lahiri ayanamsa.
