Why Venus exalts in Pisces and Jupiter in cancer a thought process for the layman.




 

Talking about exaltation signs of planets people who oppose Astrology often quote the illogical allotment of exaltation points for example Jupiter is enemy of Venus yet Venus exalts in Pisces.
Venus is neutral to Jupiter and does not consider Jupiter as enemy.AS to why Jupiter considers Venus as enemy please refers to *
Lets first explore Jupiter and Venus exaltation points. I  will try to keep it as simple as possible without going  into complex details.
Both of them are Brahmins by Varna.
Both of them are natural benefic.
Both of them exalt in water signs, cancer and Pisces.
Water element is ruled by Venus, while ether or link to spiritual realms is ruled by Jupiter.
Tastes- Jupiter is associated with sweet taste and Venus is associated with sour taste.
*Jupiter is dev guru and is  very protective. Venus ids daiteya  guru and powerful  with the knowledge of vidya like mrit sanjeevani vidya  where he is able to bring back to life the dead daiteyas or asurs.So note that while one guru is protective the other can bring dead to life.
Jupiter is tawny colored  and Venus is variegated.
Both cancer and Pisces are signs without legs ,the other sign Scorpio is a keeta sign.
All watery signs come under Brahmin varna,so where would Brahmin be happy off course  in a Brahmin  sign. All the watery signs comprise of moksha trikona therefore we find the the two Brahmin gurus exalting here in watery signs. So We find the two Brahmins exalting in 4th and 12th sign of kaal pursh.
The 8th sign is left out for humanity to find the deeper hidden meanings and it also signifies tantra and the tantric  way of realization .
Within their triplicity, the water signs each belong to another group known in astrology as qualities. For the water signs, Cancer is a Cardinal sign, Scorpio is a Fixed sign, and Pisces is a Mutable sign. In basic terms, Cancer leads and initiates, Scorpio goes deep with a fixed focus and Pisces is changeable, hard to pin down.
Being a watery planet, Venus governs imaginative and creative work. Being an ethery planet, Jupiter governs wisdom, intelligence and perceiving knowledge.
Sign cancer – stands for moksha, Gyana, water, emotions, mental peace.
Sign Pisces- stands for end of all conflicts and confusions, rebirth or moksha, pilgrimages, Brahma Gyana, insight, sixth sense
Sign Scorpio- stands for War field ,darkness, murder, cremation grounds ,violent and aggressive, secret parts Aghora tantra etc. Morever the sign is owned by a fierce warrior and commander in chief of devas Mars.
The sign scorpio is therefore not preferred by Both Brahmins.
Jupiter exalts in cancer and is friendly to moon the lord of cancer.
Venus exalts in Pisces as it is neutral to Jupiter the sign lord and as such Pisces stands for end of all conflicts and confusions, rebirth or moksha, pilgrimages, Brahma Gyana, insight, sixth sense.
Just as glass of water is adaptable to colors and substances put in, barring insoluble solids like rocks and metals . In case of insoluble solids the water retains its character and does not change ,coming to fats oil and tar here also the adaptability is very limited or none at all. Water acts as a very good filter for aatmik gyan ( knowledge of soul ) so its no surprise that we find the two Brahmin gurus exalt in watery element and watery signs.
Talking about scientific composition of water its two atoms of Hydrogen +one atom of oxygen, Hydrogen is found in large amounts in giant gas planets and stars, it plays a key role in powering stars through fusion reactions. what is Jupiter made of is one of the most common. Jupiter is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium just like a star. So here we establish a link of Jupiter with water element. The atmosphere of Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, 96.5% by volume the formula is Co2 meaning one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. Venus in 12th house and 12th sign of kaal pursh exalts due to the spirituality promise of the house and sign pieces. As the quality of Venus is to regenerate it finds itself comfortable in this sign of pisces.


Vishnu’s Avataras
This world contains two essences – jeevaamsa (living essence) and paramaatmaamsa (absolute and supreme essence). Planets are the manifestations of different aspects of these essences. Vishnu’s incarnations happened with these essences taken from various planets.
Meena/Matsya avatara (fish) came from Ketu. Koorma avatara (tortoise) came from Saturn. Varaaha/sookara avatara (boar) came from Rahu. Narasimha/Nrisimha avatara (half-man, half-lion) came from Mars. Vaamana avatara (learned dwarf) came from Jupiter. Parasu Rama/Bhaargava Rama came from Venus. Rama came from Sun. Krishna came from Moon. Buddha came from Mercury.
All these incarnations came into being with a significant percentage of paramaatmaamsa (supreme essence) than jeevaatmaamsa (living essence). Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha avataras had only paramaatmaamsa.
Other living beings are born with a significant percentage of jeevaamsa and a little of paramaatmaamsa from the planets.

Glaucoma is a disease that damages the eye’s optic nerve. The optic nerve is connected to the retina — a layer of light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye — and is made up of many nerve fibers, like an electric cable is made up of many wires. It is the optic nerve that sends signals from your retina to your brain, where these signals are interpreted as the images you see.

Hi,

Not sure what the take-home message is from your ophthalmology-000.1 statement in the exaltation of Ju-Ve thread &nbsp;:smt017 but I think the retina is more like the optical sensor (chip) in digital cameras! It is made up of <pixels> that can either sense colour or intensity of light (cones and rods) etc., and this is illustrated by the interesting dichotomy which makes us sense movement in peripheral visual field and interestingly that allows us to sense faint stars at night as long as we are not looking directly at those!

I wonder if Jupiter is like rods (wisdom vision) while venus allows us to see the colourful things in life better? And when we are looking directly at something in good light (sun and moon astrologically?), if the two (ju and ve) are balanced then we can see life both sharply as well colourfully and thus with CLARITY! &nbsp;:smt020

Some may feel that I am stretching the analogy a bit too far. Please register a complaint with my mercury! <LOL>

Love and Light and Reality!

This is from my article at my website :-
=============================================
Logic Behind Exaltations of Planets

The Parashari scheme is based on the following scheme in which every planet is exalted in the sign of next planet : - Sun : Mar : Sat : Ven : Jup : Moo ; Mercury is excluded in this circular ring because Mercury is exalted in its own sign but in different degree, while Rahu is exalted in sign of Venus ( Saturn is also exalted in other sign of Venus), and Ketu is exalted in sign of Mars.

In the circular ring, there are two halves. In each half, malefics are exalted in signs of other malefics (Sun : Mars : Saturn) while benefics are exalted in signs of other benefics (Ven:Jup:Moon), Mercury being neutral kept aloof. Both halves are joined together by Saturn being exalted in sign of Venus, which suggests that the otherwise benefic planet Venus has some maleficence also , which is dues to its natural affinity to Kaama.

Mercury is neither natural benefic nor natural malefic, hence it is exalted in its own sign and not in the sign of any benefic or malefic.

Moon is exalted in the sign of another natural benefic Venus, and Venus is exalted in the next benefic Jupiter. Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Moon, which completes the cycle of exaltations of benefics.

Sun is exalted in sign of another natural malefic Mars, Mars is exalted in sign of Saturn.

Hence, natural benefics become strong in signs owned by next higher natural benefic, while malefics gain strength in signs owned by next higher natural malefic.

But unlike benefics, the cycle of malefics is not completed by making Saturn exalted in sign of Sun. On the contrary, Saturn is exalted in the sign owned by a benefic Venus. Why ?

Because Venus is a benefic but it also signifies Kaama, which is God incarnate if it is dharmic as Gita states. Otherwise Kaama is the worst malefic factor and the worst killer. Vrish is the benefic sign of Venus, while Tula is the malefic sign of Venus representing Kaama. Moreover, Sun and Saturn are exalted in opposite signs.

This is a very nice scheme that you have presented about the exaltations and debilitations, Vinay ji! I am not a philosopher but even to me tiny perceptual worldly window, it has always been felt apparent that desire (an aspect of kaama) is perhaps key to what appears to many as the doctrine of Karma. On one side of which is the greatest malefic Saturn while on the other is its able other extreme, prime benefic Jupiter. Indeed, it seems that venus must be the key factor and clue to what many see as salvation. Kaama running away from malefic pressures and moving towards liberation (exaltation?) represented by Jupiter. Even mythologically, Shukracharya was endowed with the secret of sanjeevani vidya. One may conceptualize it as a rather engaging allegory in the writings that represent Sanaatan Dharma as some prefer to call (others call Hinduism or Hindu Religion), or one may see in it a useful mnemonic which captures the nugget of spiritual reality which is an essential fundamental in astrology, though sadly mis-represented and underutilized in pedestrian jyotish.

It is another matter that most astrologers are focusing on, conjuring up rather "interesting" scenarios for utilizing the astrological indicators to fathom the journey of the soul as some call it and completely side-stepping and ignoring simplicity that is at least obvious if not objective!

In such a scenario involving the three planets and the relative-geometry of the planets perhaps hides (though should be obvious) the significance of drishtis of the planetary factors, for example sun:saturn; mars:jupiter; venus:mercury, etc.

To me, the terms subjective:objective had always been perceptualized as conceptual analogs not so much of distance (close:distant), but enmeshed/involved:detached! I suppose one can see that as the physics of distance vs reaction in chemistry, as well!

May Peace truly prevail in the minds of ALL who make planet earth a home (or at least a halfway-house!)
