Planetary Dignity and Weaknesses

Entering into the knowledge of Astrology you will read that this planet is in exaltation or falling in a certain sign. This is not about moods, nor do you have to think that your planet goes into exile in some distant country. These are terms that we have inherited from the past and contain information that can be useful for measuring the strength of the planet. They are part of the foundations of astrology and we believe you need to know them.

A planet is in its home when its characteristics coincide or are in perfect harmony with the sign that hosts it. In this case, he is also the ruler of the sign and can manifest himself at best. the Sun fully expresses its nature in Leo, a sign that allows it to show its need to emerge and to express vitality, generosity, the taste of showing off.
In opposition to his home, the planet is in exile. Its nature will be attenuated or different. The Sun is in exile in the sign of Aquarius. The Aquarian sun, which dreams of undermining it from the throne and stands as a champion of the community, opposes the Leonine sun that claims to be the king and the best.

It is in exaltation when it has a lot of affinity with the sign that hosts it, the planet is perfectly at ease and acquires strength. In this position, he can also exceed the manifestation of his characteristics. the Sun is in exaltation in Aries. If the Sun wants to shine it will certainly not feel bad in a sign in which it is considered so important to excel and triumph over others.

Falls

A planet is falling when it is in the opposite sign of its exaltation. And in this case, too he will be considered weaker. The Sun is falling in the sign of Libra. Here too it is clear that the Sun must adapt to the nature of the guest. A Sun in Libra cannot afford competitiveness like a Sun in Aries, nor can it consider itself the largest as in Leo, because its purpose is to establish a harmonious relationship with the other, to live in peace and in a peaceful environment.

When the solar system stopped at Saturn. Each planet had two domiciles, one nocturnal and the other diurnal, only the Sun and the Moon had and have the privilege of a single domicile

The discovery of new planets revolutionized old theories and gave rise to new ones. Astrologers almost all agree on the homes of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto and the old pattern has remained almost identical. The position of the exaltations and consequently of the falls has instead been the subject of numerous discussions that still cannot be considered concluded.

According to tradition, the planet in fall or in exile is to be considered as well as weak, also negative and evil. I believe that these statements must be evaluated with common sense. The ancient astrologers lived in a different context, the models they inspired were more rigid and it was enough to freely manifest one's temperament and thought to be judged inadequate.

Perhaps it would be better to define exile or the fall not so much a weakness but rather as a different way of expressing the energy of the planet.

In the past, Mars mainly represented the soldier in war, the man inclined to adventure and in the sign of Aries had all the credentials to become a hero. In Libra, he is in exile and it cannot be the same Mars that we knew in Aries. Mars Aries wants to triumph over the other, Libra instead seeks union, takes into consideration the two sides of the coin, weighs the pros and cons.

At this point, Mars will not be negative but simply different. He will spend his energy in the ways that suit Libra, fight by finding the right words to convince the other of his good reasons, or perhaps use the weapon of seduction. He is in exaltation in Capricorn and here he can use all his determination to achieve the goals of the sign and achieve his social ambitions.

It is falling in Cancer, a sign that obviously does not correspond to the canons of the good warrior but also to that of the official who aspires to social recognition. So how will it express itself? His will be oriented towards the search for his own tranquility and to achieve this it is not said that he needs the sword, he will find a way to defend what interests him, his family or his clan, through tenacity and passive resistance.
