Noted Planetary Placements
The table below contains the noted placements of the planets. Planets in their exalted and home signs are stronger in their influence over one's personality and life's affairs, than when in their signs of detriment and fall. This also includes transiting planets. In the natal chart, look to the affairs ruled by the house containing the sign ruled by the planet and the affairs of the house that the planet is posited in. For example, a Leo Sun will be much stronger than an Aquarius or Libra Sun [signs of its detriment and fall] if it is aspected by Saturn or Neptune, both of which can undermine one's self-esteem and vitality [ruled by the Sun]. The strong Sun also functions better regarding the life affairs of the house with Leo on the cusp and also the affairs of the house containing the Sun.
In contrast, a strong Saturn as in Libra can be more malefic. Always remember, through power meditation, the aspects and planetary placements can be sublimated and directed.
Planets in their detriment and fall do not function as well as when in their exalted or home signs.
