Dear Sundeep,

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. :-)

Sun, like Jupiter, is very saattwik and shows Vedanta etc. With Jupiter, he

shows Gnyaana yoga (yoga with god thru knowledge).

Mars shows the rationistic path. Mercury also shows it, but there is a

difference. If you are familar with ShadDarsanas (six basic philosophies of

Hinduism), Mars shows Nyaya and Mercury shows Mimamsa.

 

The rationality of Mars is result-oriented. You made a mistake? It's ok! You

can rectify it later. If you keep perfecting your logic, it will never lead

to an end result. So the rationality of Mars is aimed at drawing quick

conclusions and producing "results". The rationality shown by Mercury is

very profound. It stresses on accuracy, perfection and completeness, but

reaches very few conclusions. Conclusions are not the main goal there.

Yes, Moon shows surrender and bhakti yoga. He shows karuna (compassion) too.

He also shows Sankhya.

There are two energies in this universe - male and female (purusha and

prakriti). Purusha symbolizes the ahamkara (sense of self) and prakriti

symbolizes the nature. Exaltation is a state of being proud. It represents

the male energy of ahamkara. Debilitation represents the female energy of

creation. I am not implying that the male energy is superior.

 

This is why exalted planets show male children in D-7 and debilitated

planets show female children.

 

In the material plane, male energy (purusha/ahamkara) can dominate over the

female energy (prakriti). Thus, exaltated planets are considered to be more

powerful than debilitated planets.

 

However, in the spiritual plane, ahamkara of purusha means nothing. It is

the sakti of prakriti that dominates. Pt. Sanjay Rath taught me that

debilitated planets are a blessing in D-20 and exalted planets are a

liability.

 

In the spiritual plane, it is humility and patience that finally win, not

pride and easy satisfaction.
