Exaltation and Debilitation signs of planets,star signs
The Sun, Mars,
Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are natural malefics. Jupiter and Venus are natural
benefics. The Moon is a benefic when strong and a malefic when weak. On'the
Amavasy a day the Moon loses all her lustre on account of nearness to the Sun
and is rendered absolutely weak. Then begins the bright half of the lunar month
and Moon starts moving away from the Sun. When she is 72 degrees away, she is supposed
to be in some strength. When the Moon is L80 degrees away from the Sun she
attains full strength. Thus the Moon is a benefic when more than 72 degrees
away frorn the Sun and a malefic when
within 72 degrees
of the Sun. Mercury is a benefic when alone or is associatedw ith benefics He
becomes a malefic, when conjoined with malefics.
