Hi all 🙂
I vaguely remember hearing that if exalted planets are opposite each other the exaltation cancels? How would this be read in the chart? I know a few people with mars in cap and jup in cancer.
Thanks!
Yes, there is that thumbrule but I think it only applies to sun and saturn as they also starve each other when opposite each other.
Ah okay that makes sense, thank you!
I know of a person whom I am close with who has Sun and Saturn both exalted opposite. Boy oh boy, do those afflict each other based on avasthas. This person can be quite controlling and always seems wound up, and their is a sense of 'friction' with her as well. But she also has Saturn with Mo and Ma starving Saturn as well which adds a whole other component. Though, since Saturn and Sun are strong (Taurus rising) she has some strong yogas which really aid in success.
She can be successful outside because of yogas (check the strength of yogas ) but she will be over identified with her body (Saturn rules snayu- muscular system) and all its enemies are starving it. Also there can be ego and anger issues. So enjoyment of success is tainted with lot of internal conflicts. So happiness is missing.
