00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Good morning beautiful people welcome to my channel. Thank you for your like, share and subscribe.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I want to do a mini series. I like to do it in many parts and this one is about the principle of exaltation and debilitation.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
You go to these traditional Vedic astrologers and they'll just mind blow you out with these concepts.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
I'm trying to demystify it a little bit, simplify it a little bit probably.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000
And my hope is towards the end of these sessions if you're coming across this video midway then watch the rest of them also.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Because we have to cover about seven planets and all the twelve ascendants.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So it's going to take a little time and I'm breaking it up into parts, number of parts, how many parts that takes.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
So it's not exhausting to digest the concepts.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And my hope is at the end of this exercise we will have a better idea, all these parts combined, about what is defined as a functional benefit and a functional malefic.

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
As defined by the Vedic Astrology Principles.

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And why it is the importance of ascendant and ascendant sign, zodiac sign is so crucial to understand.

12
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Because we each one of us has a limited perspective depending on what ascendant we are and we tend to look at the world and everything around us that way.

13
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So I had a download which I am translating into all these slides which is very interesting because I will try to personify the planet.

14
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
As if the planet walks into a room or walks into a bar, sun walks into a bar and sees what around.

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Like a public place, like a bar or a restaurant or a party.

16
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So I am trying to personify the planets too for ease of understanding.

17
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
How the perception varies and therefore what it translates to each and every one of the twelve ascendants.

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:06,000
This is just so that you get a good understanding and a grasp of what is the limited perception of every ascendant.

19
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And how it plays out from houses one to twelve in each of the ascendant chart and why it is so.

20
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And it is not necessarily all the time bad and good that is a very limited way of perceiving the world as you know.

21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
So let us get right into it.

22
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And I will stick this same video in every one of them so that you know whichever one you come across see the rest of them.

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Take care, be safe.

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
So that is the chart of exaltation and debilitation which is here in the top left corner.

25
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
All the planets are there, seven planets, sun, moon, mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

26
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Now the first column says the friend of each one of them.

27
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Middle column says the enemy of each one of them.

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
And the last one gives the neutral which they are neutral towards.

29
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So this we shall analyze with respect to each one of the ascendants and each one of the planets.

30
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Now planet first one will take his sun.

31
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
So I have stuck the symbol of the sun on the top and I will personify the sun right now.

32
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So sun is a friend of moon, mars and Jupiter, enemy of Venus and Saturn and it is neutral to Mercury.

33
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
So what would this show up as sun?

34
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
When you think of sun what ascendant do you think of Leo?

35
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So sun walks into the room and says I like that woman who is emotional and sensitive like the moon.

36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I like that guy who is driven and action oriented like the mars.

37
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
And that woman who is wise and learned like Jupiter.

38
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
And I have declassified the classical archetype of telling man is always wise and woman is always artistic and so on.

39
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Okay I have mixed up the rules to be careful not to think of man as the wise and woman only as the emotional.

40
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
You will get it wrong.

41
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Next enemy.

42
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I can't stand the art guy who goes on about music and drama which is what Venus, sun not liking Venus.

43
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Or that woman who is just a workaholic and keeps talking about commitment all the time.

44
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Saturn.

45
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Whereas the neutral guy he says I do not mind that cute intellectual chap who analyzes everything.

46
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
That's what sun thinks of Mercury.

47
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Okay now let us see how this plays out in the Leo as intent.

48
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So now you have the blank chart of a Leo ascendant with nakshatras with lots of things marked there as you can see.

49
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
It's quite complex but let's just take this one aspect.

50
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
We are talking right there about sun.

51
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Sun is enemy with moon, mars and Jupiter.

52
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Sorry friend with moon, mars and Jupiter.

53
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Enemy with Venus and Saturn.

54
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Neutral to Mercury.

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
How does this play out in the Leo ascendant?

56
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Now you can see Leo ascendant as five marked there.

57
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
It's a fire sign.

58
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
So because it is the first house is ruled by the sun.

59
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Pay attention to my words.

60
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It is ruled by the sun.

61
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Therefore it's his second house of Mercury as neutral.

62
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Remember the Mercury is the neutral guy there.

63
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Therefore it sees house of Libra which is false in the third house as enemy.

64
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Therefore it sees the fourth house as a friend which is ruled by Mars.

65
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Sun is friend with Mars there.

66
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Therefore it is the fifth house as a friend because it is ruled by Sagittarius.

67
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
It's friend with Jupiter.

68
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Therefore it sees the sixth house of work and everything as an enemy.

69
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Whatever falls here, it's irrespective.

70
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Any planet, anything falls here.

71
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It look at it from an inimical view.

72
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
That's what I'm talking about.

73
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's the house itself takes on a color.

74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Therefore Leo ascendant will see the house of spouse as an enemy.

75
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Because it comes in Saturn.

76
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Sun does not like Saturn.

77
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
See there.

78
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Enemy of Venus and Saturn.

79
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Therefore Leo ascendant will see the house number eight which is Pisces in this case as a friend.

80
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Because it is ruled by Jupiter.

81
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Ninth house as a friend wherever I have marked.

82
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Tenth house as an enemy because it's ruled by Venus.

83
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Sun is an enemy of Venus.

84
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Therefore it sees the eleventh house as neutral because it is falling in the sign of Gemini.

85
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
As you can see there number three.

86
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
And it is neutral.

87
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Mercury.

88
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
See there.

89
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And therefore it will see the twelfth house which is ruled by Moon as a friend.

90
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So the Leo ascendant therefore to conclude will see.

91
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
The all matters of the fourth house as friendly.

92
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Fifth house as friendly.

93
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Eight and ninth house as friendly.

94
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
And twelfth house as friendly.

95
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Doesn't matter which planets or points fall here.

96
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
It will look at it with a friendly attribute.

97
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So therefore whatever falls here will be these houses for Leo ascendant are called functional benefits.

98
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
On the other hand the ones which are enemy houses marked as enemy here.

99
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Which you can see which is the third house.

100
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
The sixth house.

101
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
The seventh house.

102
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
The tenth house.

103
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
All of these aspects it will see as enemy.

104
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000
So the planets which ever fall here it will fall into the functional enemy.

105
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Functional.

106
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Functional meaning from the Leo perspective only.

107
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
From the Leo ascendant perspective.

108
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Ascendant is here always.

109
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
This is what it means to have functional benefit and functional malefic.

110
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Let us now see which one is next Moon.

111
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Cancer.

112
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Now let's talk about the Moon.

113
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
The Moon has Sun and Mercury for a friend.

114
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
There is no enemies as perceived by the Moon.

115
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Very important to understand.

116
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Because as we see the list down there Mercury, Venus and Saturn all perceive Moon as the enemy.

117
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
So it depends.

118
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Moon does not perceive anyone as the enemy.

119
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Others people perceive Moon as the enemy.

120
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Important to remember that.

121
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
So Moon sees Sun and Mercury as a friend.

122
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
No enemies.

123
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And rest of them it perceives as neutral.

124
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
So Moon walks into a bar.

125
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Into a room.

126
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000
And says, I like that woman who is confident and leader like the Sun.

127
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
I like that guy who is intellectual and has so much knowledge.

128
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Like Mercury.

129
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I do not particularly care about the rest of them.

130
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
So Moon is turned on in the ascendant by only the power of the Sun leader like.

131
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And the one who is intellectual.

132
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Guess who this affects?

133
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The Cancer Ascendant.

134
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Let's see.

135
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
So now we see the Cancer Ascendant.

136
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
A blank chart of a Cancer Ascendant.

137
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So we have Moon over there which is a friend of Sun and Mercury.

138
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Meaning what?

139
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Which houses does this Cancer Ascendant perceive as its friend?

140
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
The house of the Sun which is the second house in this case.

141
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
And the house of Mercury which is third house in this case.

142
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Rest all being neutral.

143
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000
We go all the way up till 12th house which is again proved by Mercury in Gemini.

144
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
So it perceives the 12th house issues also as a friend.

145
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
So for Sun, the all the...

146
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
So sorry for the Moon Cancer Ascendant.

147
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
For the Cancer Ascendant.

148
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I correct myself.

149
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
All the houses from 4.

150
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
All the way up till 11 become neutral.

151
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
It doesn't really care about all these areas of life.

152
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
It is neutral to it.

153
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Neutral means I don't care.

154
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Whereas house number 2 and 3 and 12 become important for it because it's friends.

155
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Guess what we all focus on as human beings?

156
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
We focus more on our friends.

157
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Oh such and such is my friend.

158
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I will go towards that.

159
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
You move towards your friend.

160
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
You move away from any piece.

161
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
There are so many other people in this world.

162
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
We don't care about.

163
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
We just ignore them.

164
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
They are there on the sidelines.

165
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
We don't care, right?

166
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
That's the neutral factor.

167
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:23,000
So this is how Cancer has functional benefits which is house number 2 and house number 3.

168
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Especially if the exalted planets fall in it.

169
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Now I have marked there if you want to be observant in the third house.

170
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Mercury's exalted Venus is debilitated.

171
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Why?

172
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Because it's a sign of Virgo.

173
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Forget it.

174
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Dipper aspects.

175
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000
So if Mercury falls in the third house for cancer ascendant becomes exalted because it's in the friendly house.

176
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Functionally many fake as well as it falls in the friend's house and Mercury is exalted in Virgo.

177
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Mercury is the peak of in Virgo.

178
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
So it becomes more exalted.

179
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
This is the way we analyze.

180
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Next we shall take up the other planets.

181
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
I think in the list we have next Mars.

182
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:30,640
