Exaltation of Graha's - Trimsamsa and Shastyamsa

Dear Sarajit and list,

If the exaltation of planets is defined in terms of

a degree, which is with reference to D-30 chart:

 

" HOW DO WE JUSTIFY THE 'EXALTATION SIGN' READINGS IN

I hope that the question is sufficiently

self-explanatory. If anybody has the answer to this,

it will be worth sharing and discussing.

 

regards,

nitish
