How to analyze Exalted Jupiter Exalted sign of Jupiter is Cancer. It is believed that Jupiter gives excellent results in this sign. However for students of astrology it is a matter of utter confusion and a mystery untold as to what results Jupiter will give in Cancer sign. Experience has shown that results of exalted Jupiter are never the same. In addition to exaltation there are other factors also count which are there which modify results in traditional astrology. Some of them are listed as under: Retrogression Combustion Avasthas of planets like bal, shishu, vridh, mrit etc. Strength of planets like directional strength, cheshta bal, Kal bal etc. Ashtakwarga Conjunction and aspect with other planets Placement in any of the 12 houses, trine, kendras, dusthanas etc. Yogas a planet makes with other planets so on and so forth.
By general commonsense the results of a planet can not be drawn at with so many conditions which will contradict each other leaving student of astrology into a confused state of mind. Let us try to understand what Nadi Astrology has to say on this. Let us take an example of exalted Jupiter at 16 degree 42 minutes in Cancer and understand it. According to principles of Nadi Astrology a planet gives strongest result of its sub lord, weaker of its Nakshatra and weakest of its own. Keeping this in mind let us try to understand with two examples whereas Jupiter in two different houses: Case 1 Exalted Jupiter in Ascendant at 16 degrees 42 minutes whereas Mercury is conjunct with Jupiter. Jupiter is in Mercury Nakshatra and Sub lord also of Mercury. Results of Jupiter will be Placement Planet

Result of exalted Jupiter in above case will be long travels and bad health as Jupiter signifies 1,3,6,9,12 houses.
Case 2 Exalted Jupiter in 2nd house at 16 degrees 42 minutes whereas Mercury is conjunct with Jupiter . Jupiter is in Mercury Nakshatra and Sub lord also of Mercury. Results of Jupiter will be Placement Planet

Conclusion is that it is not the exaltation which is important it is the placement and lordship which has to be seen for understanding results of planets. We have to see position and lordship and same for Nakshatra and sub lord and easily results of planets can be concluded which is true for exalted Jupiter also.
