Exaltation & Debility
Know the exact exaltation and debility longitudes of the navagraha. What is the implication of the exaltation of the Sun in the 10th degree of Aries which is Mesha Rashi and Mithuna Navamsha. ‘Mithuna’ becomes the uccha soochaka rashi for the Sun while ‘Dhanus’ becomes the nicha soochaka rashi for Sun. Sun in Gemini navamsa of any sign tends to take the soul (native) towards bhoga/enjoyments which lead it away from emancipation while the Sun in Sagittarius is the reverse. Example President George Bush with Sun in Mithuna and Vivekananda with Sun in Dhanus.
