Is it better to have your planets in your natal chart exalted or to be in their own rulership???

Question

Also if you guys want to let me know how many planets you have exalted or in their own rulership :)

Answer 1

That is a good question. I would say they are both strong, but when it is exalted it is especially favorable, and when it is in it's own domicile, it would be comfortable. I'm curious to see what the more experienced astrologers will say, though.

My Planets:

Moon-Cancer (Ruled)

Jupiter-Cancer (Exalted)

Saturn--Capricorn (Ruled)

Pluto--Scorpio (Ruled)

Answer 2

Hello Moondie

Any planets in their own sign is strong and I am sure you know that already. But when they are exalted, that is when a planet is in its strongest state of dignity.

When a planet is in its own sign, you will notice that the sign and the planet are similar in may ways like Moon (humid) in Cancer or Sun/Leo, Mercury (Gemini) etc..

But in an exalted stage, the power of sign and planet re-enforce each other. The difference for any planet in an exalted dignity is that, the person will tend to abuse of this power.

So to tell you which is better, at home or exalted, is irrelevant if it lacks stressful aspect to build character. If everything is too easy, nothing will ever get done and that person will wait for things to happen or for someone to knock on their door to give them money.
