Rosered,

Even I was confused about the same. There are certain dignities of planets :

Where a planet is exalted or in its domicile or fall and exiled.

Quote:

In astrology, exaltation is one of the five essential dignities of a planet. Each of the seven traditional planets has its exaltation in one zodiac sign. The exaltations are:

Sun in 19 Aries
Moon in 3 Taurus
Mercury in 15 Virgo
Venus in 27 Pisces
Mars in 28 Capricorn
Jupiter in 15 Cancer
Saturn in 21 Libra

Planets in Exaltation, Detriment and Fall
In addition to the planetary rulerships, there are also planets which are exalted in the signs, which again means that they are comfortable and tend to function well in those signs. The table below indicates which planets are exalted in the various signs. Planets will be in detriment, however, in signs opposite the signs they rule. Planets in detriment are traditionally considered to have difficulty operating positively in these signs. Finally, in addition to planets in detriment, planets are also said to be in their fall in certain signs, which means that they are debilitated in those signs.

That now makes sense - not too sure what it all means but I will get to the appropriate lessons and then I'm sure it will help clear some of the mud away.

You REALLY dont need to be looking at Exhaltion and Fall of sun signs and planets at this stage. Just stick to basics

These things will come in much later and add information at that time, try not to complicate matters too much. Baby steps, baby steps

Keep to the Lesson and theme....
