Gemini north node is the highest upward ↑ declination over the ecliptic not aries.
Yes I guess that is true. Maybe as we aspire to our NN we develop some of the Aries confidence. Or maybe that’s irrelevant. I know evolutionary astrologers say we evolve into our Pluto polarity point the more we aspire to the NN. I don’t know if that means our personality begins to model that sign overall or if we just start to integrate those traits that we’re missing… Anyway, I would have a hard time getting behind the idea that we should universally aspire to Gemini lol. I love Geminis but I’d have to think really hard to piece that one together. I guess boundless curiosity is a universally beneficial trait. Aquarius is easier to see.

the sun is exalted in aries because it's the sign of the self, and the natural ruler of the first house (the house of self), all exaltations are opposite their debilitations. For the sun Libra rules a house of others in intimate relations, where self sacrifice is necessity. The sun being the self, lives up to its greatest potential of the self in Aries, but in Libra it's more caught up in other people in a very material world sense, locked in from the free expression of itself. Aries is childlike, no one is themselves more than a child who hasn't been corrected about who they should be for other people, and no one is less themselves than someone who's caught up in showing what they ought to be and living with everyone else's comfort in mind to be fair. The sun needs to be self centered in order to function correctly. that's long winded and i couldvs kept goingoh well 🤷♀️ i lose IP: Logged |

And one other different opinion is that 'exaltation' is better than 'dignity.' My opinion is that the Sun is 'best' in Leo. My two cents only.
exaltation is based on the nature of the planets. the sun is the ego, aries is a child leo is a king. an ego that's bound to rule neees to be great, but it's not free the way a child's is. the ego does best when it's free, for itself, unfettered ego is good, boundless in the ways ego desires to be. it's not about personal ideas of better or worse only the definition. that's subjective and based in people's individual charts and how they perceive the world. sun is ruler ot leo because the way a strong ego functions in the world is to become a leader. when it's "mature" it rules over its domain and others, it stands out. this is the desire of the ego, which libra goes against. this is not to say libra lacks ego completely, its ego is based in its image though and in upholding values of what ought to be even if it cuts into them getting more. "nothing personal" the ego gets stripped away when moral ideals come away. this is debilitation, but it doesn't create a bad person or someone who's undesirable or better or worse than someone else etc so "better than" in practice works out different than on paper.

the best for whom? venus embodies love, and when we talk about love as a concept its highest form is unconditional and divine, it has no restraint. it's love for the sake of love at its most pure. in day to day life that can look like rose colored glasses or a false perception of people ("love is blind") something hinged on otherworldly and not grounded. that's definitely not for everyone and doesnt always lead to ideal outcomes 😁 it's about venus' identity and where it's able to reach its highest point in philosophical terms. it's not necessarily healthy in practice in a low form, but at its highest? what's stronger than unconditional love that's tied to the soul. this goes for pleasure and such as well, the things venus rules over. you have to suspend your own stuff and think about it in terms of rulership and symbolism. these are energies that have to be looked at through a lens where it's purely about them and what the desires they have are. what does love desire? what does pleasure desire? they desire bliss, to drown in themselves for an eternity and never come up for air. you know what gets in the way of that? 😉 reality IP: Logged |

Who ever brings the northern southern hemisphere of earth to astrology discussion ask her/him [b]Why the North Node is aspiration in astrology not the south node?[/B]
the north node and south node are better explained in vedic i think. a demon desiring eternal life drank from the place the gods drank and was cut in half. his head, rahu (north node), wanders separately from his body, ketu (south node) rahu is always hungry, without a body he eats but is never full. always pushing for more. ketu is blind, always full and self contained. it wanders around disconnected from the world, thoughtlessly. it's comfortable within itself.

According to Wikipedia, the topic of exaltation in astrology, and all those specific degrees, comes from astrological and astronomical teachings of al-Biruni, the Persian Muslim polymath from medieval times. Personal opinion:
The topic of exaltation, while certainly interesting and I am certain also perfectly aligned with math and science, comes from the idea of unity. Why in the first place do our birth charts affect, shape or influence us? I believe it is because we are all one, and life on earth originates from higher orders above. It's just that things are denser here, slower and also limited and temporary to a sense. As humans, we have oneness with one another and with other parts of the universe. There are also opinions that everything is created for the benefit of humans. Planets are sources of divine energy, that help manage life on earth. I had to delve into eastern esoteric to be able to find answers. Particularly middle eastern and Islamic. To my surprise, there are similarities to Hindu, Greek and Christian (Swedenborg) teachings. Suhrawardi for instance, believed that each planet has its own "soul". Short answer (personal opinion): Each planet has specific beings managing it, they could be a subcategory of angels, and each of these managers or ruling beings, have a specific day where they receive their influx of divine energy, flowing then into our world. Hence that specific day/degree. IP: Logged |

The four cardinal points are more than enough for me to understand exaltation of planets and their opposites.IP: Logged |

Because on the natural wheel, Aries is the first house which is the driver seat in astrology... The first house shows how much control you have over your life, if any, or not have control... The planet that shows how much control you have over your life is the Sun... the conscious mind... Aries being ruled by Mars, it's action oriented, which fills the gaps on Leo Sign which is expressive only... Leo thinks that you can be confident only by trusting yourself, which is true... you don't have to be anything to be confident, just as a human being your it... but this trait of Mars/Aries completes this gap... they do something also and moves it to the next level - exaltation.Another things is that Sun and Aries are masculine and malefic planet/sign... Mars is exalted in Saturns' sign, Sun is exalted in Mars' sign... Only saturn is exalted in Venus' sign but still in the masculine sign of Libra. Venus in Jupiter' sign Pisces, Jupiter in Moon' sign Cancer, Moon in Venus' sign Taurus IP: Logged |

thank you <3 it's the ego, it's what you think you are, your personality, how you filter and let it out..and the power to change your life if the Sun has some power, dignified, or having benefics with it, especially Jupiter. you can't see the person in the natal chart... tons of us are born with the same charts but still we end up in different places... But, the sun is also the father, if you're a woman, you won't express it that much if it doesn't rule the ASC, you would use more the Moon in this case... if it rules the 7th house, it signifies the partner... so the whole chart should be looked at...
