Exaltation (Essential Dignity)

A planet placed in the sign where it is honored and elevated, performing at its highest potential with amplified expression.

What is Exaltation (Essential Dignity)?

Exaltation is the second-strongest essential dignity after domicile. Each planet has one sign of exaltation: Sun in Aries, Moon in Taurus, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Libra. An exalted planet is like an honored guest—it performs with distinction but may tend toward excess since it lacks the natural authority of being in its own sign. Exaltation amplifies the planet's best qualities while sometimes overemphasizing them.
