|Sri Varaha| Exaltation and Debility of Graha's

[Guest guest]

|Hare Rama Krishna|Dear Frank,

This was discussed several times on other lists, where each planets dristi, and also their exaltation, moolatrikona and swakshetra and debilitation signs were discussed.

 

The focal points are;

Exaltation : The planets place of greatest enjoyment.

Moolatrikona : The planets office, its dharma.

Swakshetra : The planets home, or where it feels like home and is satisfied.

Debilitation : The planets place of least enjoyment.

 

Example for Moon:

Exaltation & Moolatrikona: Taurus is the natural 2nd house, and moon being the mother and sustainer of the universe finds her duty and greatest enjoyment here, just as a mother enjoys feeding her child.

Swakshetra: The Own sign of the Moon is the natural 4th - Cancer, where the mother feels literally at peace and at home.

Debilitation: Scorpio is the debilitation sign of the Moon and being the natural 8th house, is the place of Rudra, which is the opposite of sustenance - hence the Moon finds her least enjoyment here.

 

In this mannor each planet is understood. Jupiter does not represent purity, planets represent a person or deva. The sign and house indicates the state and activity of the deva.

|Sri Varaha| Exaltation and Debility of Graha's

Om Sri Rama Jai Jai RamaNamaskr,Can some one assist…. I ask this question from time-to-time yet have not yielded any clarity or response on this matter. To form a firm foundation as a sisya I need to understand why is a Graha exalted or debilitated in any one sign? We use this every day in a chart, yet do we ( I) do not fully comprehend why?Why is Surya exalted in Aries? If I read Sarvarth Chintamani the author (Bhasinji) suggests that Surya falling in the first 10 degrees of Aries is in the Nakshatra of Ashvini , owned by Ketu. Ketu is the Mokshakara , and Surya is the Atmakaraka,Hence ATMA in MOKSHA or the highest state atma can attain.This makes sense. Yet, Ketu also owns other Nakshatera I would think also favorable to the exaltation or Surya [ Leo, Sun's home, or Sagittarius, owned by Guru, and what is the goal of Guru if not the highest levels of Dharma yielding Moksha?]For Debilitation , I can see why Guru ( purity) is debilitated in Capricorn, owned by Sani – with Sani owning dirt its covering the purity of Guru forcing debility, yet why not in Aquarius where both Rahu & Sani own the signand a double dose i.e.Dirt and diabolical behavior from Rahu?So, what principles do I look to apply common sense? The Tattva of the planets?e.g. Agni, Vayu, Prthivi, Jala and Aksha, and how one may overwhelm the other i.e. Water over fire? OR perhaps Shadripu weakness comparisons? If some one can assist I would appreciate the help to form a solid base of knowledge.Thank you,Frank in San Diego|Om Tat Sat|http://www.varahamihira

|Hare Rama Krishna|Dear Ajit,

First we assign the various parts as signs, and these signs are defined as a form of the kaala purusha, as this actually tells us what the signs are trying to give us. Also refer to the explanation of the Dwadasa-aditya.

Next we can define the Nakshatra (mentality), Pada(ayana/goal) and Trimsamsa(??) to see the details about the graha's nature of exaltation, etc.Best wishesVisti---Sri Jagannath Center: http://.orgBhagavad Purana: http://www.srimadbhagavatam.orgiTRANS 99 Font: http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org

hamsa om soham

 

Dear Visti,

 

When exaltation, debilitation, moolatrikona and swakshetra are defined in terms of rasis (and not houses), does it not follow that the true reason for these assignments should also be in terms of rasis (and nakshatras, and padas, and degrees) alone?
