What is the result of an exalted planet?
Exalted planet is considered to be either strong or good. It is not clear which one is correct, strong or good. Exalted planet is considered to be weak when it does not have directional strength or it is debilitated in Navamsa. This is advised by certain astrologers. This is their view point. If exalted planets are the lord of dusthanas or go to a dusthana then the student of astrologer gets confused, what will be the result of such a planet. For an example Ascendant is Leo and Jupiter is lord of 8th get exalted in 12th house. Now what to do? Jupiter is lord of 5th goes to 12th house. Is it good or bad? 8th lord goes to 12th and gets exalted. What to follow is it vipreet Raj yog or what? Another case now that Ascendant is Gemini hence Jupiter is having Kendaradhpitya dosh. Jupiter will get exalted in 2nd house. Now if Jupiter will give good results then reason given by traditional astrologer will be that it is exalted on the other hand it will give bad results then you have another rule in traditional astrology i.e. Kendraipitya dosh and another Karak Bhav Nash.
A simple riddle as to why in Gemini Ascendant exalted Jupiter gives bad results professionally can be easily understood. Simple theory is planet gives stronger results of its Nakshatra. Now Exalted Jupiter will give results of 2,7,10 for Gemini Ascendant. And if Jupiter is in Nakshatra of Saturn and Saturn is placed in 12 house then Saturn will give results of 8,9,12 houses for Gemini Ascendant and results of exalted Jupiter will be bad and traditional astrologer never understands this simple theory. Student of astrology tries to understand but he can not understand whom to follow. My experience is simple people follow simple theory and get results and difficult people will even question Lord Krishna when He will be in front of them.
For students of Astrology, who really want to go for results in astrology rather then just reading books and waste there time on forums of astrology, forget exaltation and check Nakshatras and you will find you are able to predict better and once you include sub lord also your predictions will become accurate than any of the traditional astrologer who have been working from ages.
