Exaltation and Debilitation in KP Astrology

Hello Everyone,

I wish the new year finds you in great spirit and you along with your family enjoy and stay happy forever. . . Amen

Today I will talk about various doubts over 2 very important aspect in KP Astrology i.e. Exaltation and Debilitation of planets.There appears to be some prevailing confusion about exactly what Exaltation and Debilitation actually mean in evaluation of a KP chart. So below is a brief overview of the planetary interactions, followed by my attempts at explaining the effects of exaltation and debilitation, and their usage in KP, according to my understanding of the basic and primary teachings of the KP system.

We already know that a planet moving under the influence of his star lord, will act according to the dictates of that star lord. With that in mind, we are also well aware that the planet will predominately offer the results of the house in which the star lord is posited, in addition to the house(s) owned by the star lord. Then, the planet itself, offers the results of the house it occupies and the house(s) it owns. So basically each planet has a role to play, and both the star lord and the planet combine their influence to determine whether the event will be favorable or not.

Hope all of you find this article nice. . . Until next one . . . God Speed :)

Hello Everyone,

Today I will tell you how the strength of lagna lord is determined. Also, how is lagna lord considered to be either strong or weak in any birth chart. The following 4 are the indicators of strength versus weakness.

1. A very strong levels of the lagna lord.

2. Middle levels of strength of the lagna lord.

3. Weak levels of the lagna lord strength.

4. Very weak levels of lagna lord strength.

1. A very strong level of the lagna lord means that the lagna lord should occupy any one of the following houses: the 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 11th, or 4th, and tenant the stars of the lords of the 2nd, 10th, and/or 11th houses.

2. Middle level strength of the lagna lord means that the lagna lord is not found occupying the 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 11th, or 4th, but instead occupies the 5th, the 8th, or the 12th and tenants the stars of the lords of the 2nd, 10th, and/or 11th.

3. For Weak levels of a lagna lord there are 2 ways to look at it.

First:

Weak levels of a lagna lord means that the lagna lord - though occupying any one of the following houses - 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 11th, or 4th - tenants the star lords of the 5th, 8th, or 12th houses.

Second:

A different way of looking at this would be to say that the lagna lord occupying the 5th, 8th, or 12th house and tenanting the stars of the lords of the 2nd, 10th or 11th, makes the lagna lord appear to be strong but is actually considered to be one step below that of the middle level of strength.

4. Very weak levels of a lagna lord means that the lagna lord is occupying the 5th, 8th, or 12th house and also tenanting the the stars of the lords of the 5th, 8th, or 12th houses.

All birth charts you come across will not always be found to contain the positions as explained above, while certain other charts will be descriptive exactly as explained above. Other than the Sun and the Moon, all planets have lordship over two houses. One house may give pleasant results while the other house may offer unpleasant results. Keep in mind that what has been explained above with respect to a strong or weak lagna lord are only approximations. Lagna lord subjected to the 5th, 8th, and 12th houses is considered weak while lagna lord subjected to the 2nd, 3rd, 10th, and 11th houses is considered strong, but this is a general and approximate conclusion, as more synthesis is necessary before a final evaluation can be determined. For example, we have to study the house occupied by the lagna lord and the constellation it tenants, along with the aspects formed, integrate our findings, and then sort out the strength/weakness at the fundamental level before a final assessment can be made.

An example would be a person born with a Leo lagna, and the lagna lord Sun occupying the the 2nd house, posited in the star of Hasta owned by the Moon - who is 12th lord. By this position alone, this information would initially suggest a weak lord. But at the same time the Sun- by virtue of occupying the 2nd house - does not make it a totally weak lagna lord. Now by the same token if the Sun occupies Cancer - the 12th house - and is posited in the star of Mercury owned Aslesha - who owns the 2nd and 11th houses, you would initially consider the Sun to be a strong lagna lord - however - Sun as as an occupant of the 12th house does not make it a totally strong lagna lord. Therefore, with a little more effort in our analysis, we should be able to determine the correct strength of the lagna lord. A chart gifted enough to have 100% favorable results all the way around will be a rare one, as the reality is that very few births are blessed to be those of great scholars, or to be blessed with both name and fame. The majority of the population belong the the middle level, or even below the middle level. So it becomes necessary to keep all of the above in mind as you assess and evaluate the strength of the lagna lord.
