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.
