Astrology Observations And Theories : Honorary Exalted Signs

Astrology Observations and Theories : Honorary Exalted Signs

Exalt in Astrology is when a planet is at it's best in a sign that it doesn't rule. For Example, the Moon is exalted in Taurus because, outside of Cancer ( The Moon rules Cancer ), Taurus is the biggest home body in the Zodiac. They are all about comfortability and being stable, which the Moon likes and is all about.

So almost all the planets' are exalted in a sign, except Uranus, Neptune and Pluto ( Mercury is up for debate ). Here are the planets that have an exalt sign.

The Sun is exalted in Aries

The Moon is exalted in Taurus

Mercury is exalted in Virgo (Idk why and idk if it is, cuz they rule it already)

Venus is exalted in Pisces

Mars is exalted in Capricorn

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer

Saturn is exalted in Libra

These are all the planets with exalts that everyone knows. But I feel like all the planets can be exalted and do very well in other signs too. which I'm going to give a sign for each planet then a reason for why I think it does so well in that planet.

The Sun Co Exalted in Taurus

While Taurus can be all about luxury and being secure, have you ever really met an insecure Taurus before? Lol. The Sun has to do with ego, the self, and our goals. All of which I feel Sun in Taurus people will almoat always have. Usually it's 'my way or the highway' with these people, but to a less agressive and in-your-face degree than their exalt Martian counterpart, Aries. And more of in a charming, Venusian way. They KNOW their worth and aren't willing to stoop to anything less. But they can be unmovable in opinion and belief sometimes, and but are still willing to hear you out SOMETIMES. Prone to indulging themselves a lot.

Moon Co Exalted in Aries

The Moon is our emotions, how we feel, what we're comfortable with, and our inner needs. Here, Aries isn't trying to hide or supress their emotions. They're usually very open about how they feel. How they say they feel is likely how they feel, no hidden meanings. I feel like people don't give this placement enough credit. Aries here won't focus as much of their energy on others needs and emotions to the point it exhausts them, however they can still relate to you. With them being so honest and open, if they've ever felt what you're feeling about something, they will validate your feeling and emotions by explaining a similar thing they experienced. They can be blunt with others, but more importantly, with themselves. They won't sugercoat anything if there's an issue they have and will probably try to solve it.

Mercury Co Exalted in Libra

Mercury is all about communication, the mindset we have, and what are reoccuring topics when conversing with you. Libra is a peoples' person kind of sign. Libra Mercury natives love to share and hear peoples stories and they love to share other peoples stories too. The words just flow from them naturally, silky smooth like honey. They can be very charming with their words and they always think before they speak because they know how words can affect people. Libra, the sign of partner ships, negotiation and sharing does very well in the planet of communication, thinking, and how we express ourselves.

Venus Co Exalted in Leo

Venus is a planet all about relationships, luxury, how we indulge, and how we spend our money. Like Taurus, Leos like to indulge; in themselves and in others. Leo's passion, creativity and pride seeps out and into others, making them a joy to be around. Like a typical Venusian, they can be generous and vain at the same time. There's never a dull moment with people like these and by the end the day they know how to settle down and chill too. Leos are lions, and like lions, they have their pride of people they always hang out with. Which coincides with Venus's relationship nature. Plus, Venus Leo natives are the ones to go big or go home, they like indulge on luxurious things too like a Venusian would.

Mars Co Exalted in Gemini

Mars is a planet energy, action and passion, so for some it may come as a suprise that Gemini actually does very well in this planet but it makes sense because Gemini, while not as fiery as an Aries or Leo, is still a highly energetic ans bubbly sign. Gemini can jump from topic to topic, person to person and interest to interest at a very fast rate because of their constant need for stimuli. And here, Mars is supplying energy to a sign that uses a lot of energy, so it's a symbiotic relationship between planet and sign. This is a placement that is tireless and always on the move, just how Mars likes it.

Jupiter Co Exalted in Aquarius

Jupiter is the planet of travel, philosophy, and beliefs. Which is why I think it does well in Aquarius, because this sign is well known for it's humanitarian views and constantly pushing to revolutionize society. Like Sagittarius ( and by extension Jupiter ), Aquarius are more susceptible to being open minded. They're always trying to understand the world, and most importantly, the people around them. They can do this by travel and connecting with people. Which will satiate the questions they have about people, cultures, and life in general. They attract luck by connecting communities and trying to see both sides of the same coin in anything, much like a typical Jupitarian.

Saturn Co Exalted in Virgo

The main themes for Saturn are Discipline, Life Lessons, and Reputation. And Virgo, Like Capricorn (Domicile) and Libra (Exalt), this placement will always try to be nothing short of perfect. This placement cares a lot about how they present themselves to others, and more importantly, themselves. Virgo is a sign notorious for being judgemental and perfection, but how they judge others is 10 times worse when judging themselves. This is a very disciplined placement. This placement indicates being VERY self aware of your flaws and problems, and having the power to develop into a better version of over time if you're always honest with yourself, about yourself.

Possible Planetary Exalts

I'm not sure why Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto don't have an official exalt. But I'm here to do them justice. These aren't the official ones, but my own speculation and theories 💕

Uranus Exalted in Scorpio

Uranus represents how our generation rebels against previous traditions and societal expectations, what boundaries of the previous generations we push. Which is why Scorpio, the sign literally known for the taboo and being misunderstood would work so well in this planet. During times with this placement, Society may go through many huge changes in the political and social world. A point in time where we break many societal stereotypes, barriers and push to make the taboo the status quo. A highly transformative period, will likely be filled with many controversies and issues, but in the end, will help better our society. After all, theres no rainbow without rain.

Neptune Exalted in Sagittarius

Known as the planet of dreams, hopes, the unconscious, how our generation thinks, and how we're delusional, Neptune surprisingly does very well in Sagittarius. This placement is about a generation that makes their dreams come true. These are people with vivid and abstract thoughts, and know how to put them into action. A placement that isn't afraid of trial and error until they achieve their dreams, and can also indicate being a trendsetter. Because of Sagittarius' constant exploration and truth seeking nature, it can kind of negate Neptune's delusional, cloudy nature, making this a generation that is very self aware and good at disecting others and themselves.

Pluto Exalted in Pisces

Pluto represents a generation's power, how we transform society in our era, what legacy we leave behind as a generation. And Pluto in Pisces represents a generation that pours it's power into making our society into a more empathetic and connected place. Here in this placement, Pisces' many hopes and dreams give Pluto an outlet to pour their power into. Marking an era where many people pursue their visions for the world, become more accepting of others and put their creativity to use.

Lilith Square Ascendant seems like a Scorpio Rising. What other aspects can soften the blow?

Placements that Empower your Lilith

Lilith in the bible was Adam's first wife, and when he tried to make her submit to him, she rebelled and forged her own path. Truth to be told, I think there's no real way to soften Lilith's influence. I just think there's things that may strengthen Lilith's hold on you and it's power, like having-

🥀

Scorpio Ascendant

( or any water ascendant but mostly Scorpio )

🥀

Pluto, Moon, or Mars in the 1st, 4th, 8th or 10th house

🥀

Neptune in the 1st, 8th or 12th house

🥀

Lilith in the ruling house of the ascendant

( For example, my rising is Sagittarius, and Lilith is in my 9th House ( ruled by sagittarius )

🥀

Lilith in Aries, Aquarius, Pisces or Scorpio

🥀

Sun, Mars, Neptune, Pluto and/or North Node aspecting your Ascendant or Lilith

🥀

Chiron and Lilith in the same house or opposite houses.

hayy guys! I'm gonna be posting astro observations part 3 soon and after, what would you like to see next?

Astrology Observations 1

‍‍‍I'm no professional and this is my first time writing astro notes these are all personal observations so take with a grain of salt!💕

While the rising and midheaven sign are very important and promient in the birth chart houses, I feel like the 12th house can be just as important as the rising sign.

Like, while the rising sign is what you show on the outside and how you generally interact with people and your surroundings, the 12th house sign can show you what you need to be fundamentally fufilled and satisfied. Like your rising is what you project and what everyone thinks you want and need, but your 12h sign is what you truly want and need and could be what you lack (henceforth why you need and/or want it).

It may be apart of yourself that you may unconsciously shun and hide from the world. You might not like not like someone with planets in your 12th house or you could be obsessed with them. The 12th house is all about delusion and hidden things.

For example I'm a sagittarius rising, my 12h is Scorpio. While I am laid back and It might seem like I don't take anything seriously cuz I'm always joking or laughing something off, but deep down I wish I more people would take me seriously. Someone I can talk about taboo things with and for them to not ridicule or be appalled. And sometimes I shun people for being so open with things I would keep secret if I were them because of this. And I sometimes feel ashamed about being obsessed with certain things.

I might do a more in depth post about all signs in the 12th house  one of these days.

No offense 😭 but Gemini moons CANNOT for the life of them focus on a singular topic or person at a time. If there is more than one person around. I know a couple people close to me with this placement who always alternate between talking to different people at a time, which can be kinda annoying if one of the many things they bring up during conversation is something you really wanna talk about and delve deeper into, and they might skim past it while jumping to the next topic or person.

I feel like they do this to keep up with the tempo for their need for mental stimulation during socializing. When in a high energy environment you can always rely on a Gemini moon to keep up with the beat of the group 💕

Air Venuses can also be guilty of this. They will switch from topic to topic and person to person during conversation very frequently. They do this to keep up with the pace and everyone in the group. However if they have a fixed Mars sign (especially Leo or even Aquarius) then this could be worse as they will try to command everyone's attention and have the spotlight on themselves so they can finish up, only to start up again with another topic instantly, it can be really hard to get any words in when talking to these people while they are passionate in the moment. It's more of an instinct to these people, so they don't try to do this on purpose but they feel like they need to get out what is on their minds before they forget about it or the topic changes.

Saturn aspecting any planet or placement, especially if it's a stronger aspect like Conjunction or Opposition, can restrict certain parts of your life regarding the planet it's aspected to.

For example if you have Mars/Saturn aspects, you may have excellent anger and emotion control, it may feel like you are unable to express your anger for fear of losing control of yourself and the way people view you (Saturn rules reputation). And while you are tactful with the way you speak, it may feel like some people will walk all over you and you still won't lash out because you feel like all your pent up rage and emotions will come out in an unecessary display of rage from always bottling up your emotions.

Or for another example Venus and Saturn aspects, it may put a damper on your love and indulgent life. Certain things you enjoy to do may constantly feel more like a chore that you have to keep up with. May look at ways to make money or build a reputation from doing what you love which could be one of the reasons where this feeling stems from. Also you might be slow to the love game and feel like it isn't your biggest priority. Wants any relationship that happens to be serious so they will take it slow or not at all and focus on themselves and their endeavors.

-

People with Uranus in the 3rd house may have an unconventional childhood and relationship with their siblings. Same can go for the Uranus 4th house.

-

The 5th house could show how you like spending your birthday and what you want from it.

-

You might not like someone who has your 12th house sign as their rising sign. Because they will project traits and have things that you secretly yearn for and wish you had yourself. You might feel insecure or uncomfortable around them because you'll feel like they have everything you wish you had.

-

Having Mercury and Mars in the same house could make you have consistently intrusive thoughts on that area of your life, and sometimes it's unwarranted but you can't help it either way.

For example, having them both in houses 5th or 8th means you probably always have sex on your mind. It's just something that is always on the back burner of your mind. Sometimes you might be embarrassed if people bring up sex during conversation just because it reminds you of how much you think about it.

Or another example is if they're both in the 1st or 11th house. This could make you always think about how people perceive you and what they think about you and others. They might always ask you questions pertaining to themself or about others. In the 11th house they might always want someone's input on a certain thing just because they're curious about it.

Either way, mercury and mars sharing the same house can make you obsessed with the stuff related to that house.

-

Scorpio Suns with a Sagittarius Moon are AMAZING to talk to. They know just the right amount of lighthearted and seriousness. They're some of the most wisest and intuitive people. It feels like you can talk about ANYTHING with these people and they'll listen to you, without brushing off what you have to say, and give you their most honest opinion and advice.

-

People that have Leo or Capricorn stelliums can have an almost royal aura to them, however they can come off as stand-off ish. This is because when they want something, they WILL get it eventually. And whatever they do or anything others do for them, they want 100% full effort and dedication. They only want and only will accept the best that is offered. This can be amplified if the stellium is in the 6th or 2nd house.

-

All cancer suns I've met either fit the Cancer stereotype perfectly or don't at all. Including myself.

-

Speaking of, I feel like if someone has the same sign as you, but has a personal planets in the same moditalitiy but different signs (Squares), you might feel irritated by them in many aspects. Because they'll feel similar to you, but do things in a different way or unconventionally (to you).

-

If you have recurring degrees from certain signs in your chart then, you may attract a lot of people with placements in those signs. I have a lot of placements in Gemini degrees and so many people I'm close to have prominent gemini placements.

-

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONJUNCTIONS OR "GOOD" ASPECTS DOES NOT MEAN LIFE WILL BE EASY FOR YOU!! It may indicate that there is a lot of POWER but not a cake walk.

I know some people (Including my dad) who have this and life has constantly hit them with curve balls and a lot of downs and ups. My dad has many conjunctions in his chart and he has gone through A LOT of difficult situations throughout his life, some of which have actually almost killed him a couple times.. But he always manages to get back on his feet and stay strong during extremely hard times.

The main take away from this is that having a lot of conjunctions or good aspects does not secure you an easy or bountiful life, but it may give you the power to always pull through very tough times and succeed if you harness it's power properly. So in a way, it truly can be a gift from the universe.

-

Affirming my one point about Leo and Capricorn, do NOT date somene with Venus in Capricorn if you aren't in it for the long term. They already do not tolerate bullshit, and take their relationships very seriously.

Like Scorpio Venus, once invested, they can become very infatuated and attached to someone they deem as their lifelong partner. This is why you might not see many of them in relationships until they're in their later years because they would rather not date at all then entertain something that isn't for the long run, like most things in life, they're in it to win it 💕

What are yalls thoughts on these? Did you like my first astro observation post? If so, let me know because I might do more like these in the future 💖

Do you guys think astroids in the 1st house are still important if they aren't conjunct to any planets or the ascendant?

let me know in the comments 😅

Because when I see astrology posts talking about astroids, I usually only see people talking about them if they conjunct a planet/placement, and usually within a 3° orbit or less.

I still like to consider them important if they don't conjunct anything but still make aspects to a lot of planets/placements in one's chart. Also I still think they hold a small bit of significance in the 1st house even if they don't conjunct anything, but let me know what yall think!

If my mercury is in the 9th house and my Venus is in the 10th house, what does it mean is a conjunction?

Venus in the 10th and Mercury in the 9th

What this means is if you pursue your career, you'll have the most luck building a reputable status and legacy from talking about your experiences with foreign lands, people, cultures, ect. Being knowledgeable all around and giving your thoughts and opinions just about anything, people will likely always be willing to hear what you have to say about anything, even if they don't agree.

Mercury rules over our mindset, things we're good at, and what we likely have lots of knowledge in. So having it in the house of philosophy, beliefs and higher education is beneficial to activating your 10th house Venus in building yourself a fruitful career and reputation because this is a placement known for being widely liked and known by others, and to some people it may look like you can do no wrong.
