S01-M02-L04 · Chapter 3, Part 4 — Planetary Characters and Description

Recall¶

Explain why Mercury's case (exaltation + Mooltrikona + own sign all in Virgo) is unique among the seven planets.
Explain the relationship between an exaltation sign/degree and its corresponding debilitation sign/degree.

Is the claim "debilitation is always the 7th sign from exaltation, at the same degree" explicitly stated as a single rule in one verse, or is it something you derive by comparing v.49–50's two rows yourself?

Check Answers

Pisces, 27° (v.49–50).
Pisces, 15° (v.49–50 — Mercury's debilitation).
Because it's the only planet where exaltation, Mooltrikona, and own sign all fall in the same sign (Virgo) — every other planet has these spread across multiple signs.
The debilitation sign is always the 7th sign counted from the exaltation sign, at the same specific degree.
Saturn/Libra 20° = Exalted, at the exact deepest exaltation point.
Mars/Aries 20° = Own sign (within Aries's 12–30° own-sign range, past the 0–12° Mooltrikona zone).
It is not stated as a single explicit rule in one verse — it is a pattern you derive yourself by comparing the exaltation and debilitation rows of v.49–50 (both correct: BPHS states the two facts side by side, and the 7th-sign/same-degree relationship is a student-observed internal consistency check, not a separately declared rule — label it "Interpretation inferred from surrounding BPHS material" if asked to classify it).
