Hello Govardhan ji,

as it is always nice to se you back and process of learnign continues

Govardhan ji i have read something similar a while ago though I cant comment on it.

Can you also explain about mooltrikona raashi also....how and why they are chosen....


Let me put my views here...
Wat I remember is of that planets are given exhaltation or mooltrikona in particular raashi
NOT BASED on its lordship but rather on bases of how comfortable that planet is in that
raashi and how much it represents planets basic properties..
Thus it is more about raashis basic and inherent nature

For example:- (I vaguely remember this)

Mars is given exhaltation in Makar bcoz makar represents cemetery, battle front and south direction
and mars is the quite comfortable in that raashi coz it being a commander or war lord..represents them..

Now karaka is opposite to makar, now since makar represents cemetery cancer represents Life which is opposite to
death.....and who else can represent LIFE better than jupiter.....the source of life...

Thus jupiter is exhalted here in karaka

Also we can see Saturn is exhalted in Tula raashi which is significator of BALANCE and so is saturn..
Thus Saturn is very well exhalted in Tula raashi..Where planet's property gets easily dwells with
Raashis..

Govardhan ji and other members Please do comment.
