To rohiniranjan:Ishta Devata - planet exalted or debiliated???

[Guest guest]

Hi Rohiniji,

 

I came across a few messages where you have discussed Ishta

Devata ...I would like to know what happens if the plant that

signifies Ishta Devata is either exalted or debilitated??

 

I have Mars signifying Ishta Devata exalted in Capricorn (in navamsa

lagna) but a friend of mine has Mars as Ishta Devata debilitated in

Cancer (sixth house from navamsa lagna). What would be the difference?

 

Thanks
