It's not a myth.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, symbolizing the first signs of spring, and in the human journey, the baby of the zodiac. They are naturally Me First! Do babies see other people's point of view? No. That doesn't 'mean they are bad humans, it is just that babies feel what they need and they need it now! And if they don't get it, they start crying. They will insist on suckling their mother's breasts even when she needs to sleep and rest. They want to be picked up and rocked even when the parent is exhausted.

It is not by astrological accident that Aries sits opposite the sign of Libra, the sign known for seeing both sides of an issue.

Personally, for me dignities are the gold medals, and exaltations are the silver medal. I know this seems childish, and simplistic.

But think of how much more comfortable you feel at your own home, that you own (dignity, home placement, Sun in Leo), than your best friend's (friend of like 40 years) house. Your best friends house is like the exaltation, you feel welcomed, and great, in his/her house, but you feel more free, honest (I'm sure all people don't tell even their best friends everything), and powerful (because you own your own house, and you make your own rules), in your own house (dignity/home placement).

This is just my two cents, though. I totally get why the Moon is exalted in Taurus, as well as other exaltations.

How does the picture above relate to sun exaltation in Aries?

Aries isn’t necessarily abrasive, though. In my natural state, I was happy, calm, motivated, interested in new things, and new people. Speaking as an Aries. 6th house.

This is what I was getting at, above. Nobody can be a good leader, when they aren’t centered, and are lost in their thoughts/insecurities. Personally, I wouldn’t want to be a leader, but I also don’t want that responsibility.

I understood that, what I don't understand is why you think that relates to exaltation. As I believe I've mentioned in the forum before, I design smart buildings that employ geography knowledge for lighting, and cooling and heating efficiency, as well as for receiving certificates for net zero and carbon zero buildings. Have taken at least three courses at undergrad and grad levels with direct focus on that. So trust me, I know a thing or two about solar calculations.

But that imaginary picture of earth in space does not prove the exaltation in Aries, which is something purely spiritual and metaphysical. The sun analemma which you later posted is better, but it does not explain the exaltation specifically. And btw, I wonder how you can use the solar analemma in the antarctica to back up your theory (picture below).

Even if we decide to agree the picture is not imaginary, it still does not explain Sun's detriment in Aquarius if we want to apply the same logic.

I am not trying to judge you. I even tried applying your logic to Venus by checking its path across the constellations and checking for the rising point, and the exaltation degree comes around about the 18th degree of the Pisces constellation and not the 27th that is believed to be the exaltation degree for Venus.

Look at the photo below for instance. What interested me was that using your logic, we can't explain why Venus is exalted in Pisces.

Your theory is also very subjective to different altitude and latitude locations on earth (very big differences in Antarctica, for instance). Which shows how something so dependent on everchanging variables cannot be taken for a fact.
It's very simplistic to think that the world is so simple, and that our ancestors who were far more superior than us in terms of spirituality, simply looked up at the sky and saw that the Sun is high here or there so said to themsleves oh hey, there is the exaltation!

I admire your determination to bring awareness around the topic of exaltation. But I'm curious why you keep bumping this thread posting the same software generated picture, while it has nothing to do with the concept of exaltation. Although if you're a young Aries, that's understandable because as an Aries mercury myself, it is sometimes hard to hear others. You seem so absolutely sure of it too, that you've even hashtagged your post "astrologybasics", but your reasoning can be easily debunked, by actual astrology and astronomy basics from Biruni, the Iranian polymath who is the father of modern astronomy, who precisely measured the earth's radius and was an expert on Indian astronomy as well.

I highly recommend the links below. They explain that even Biruni, who was a scientist, made no mention of why those specific degrees are regarded for exaltation of the planets (he even mentioned an exaltation degree for the moon's nodes). It's simple for anybody who's familiar with the works of Persian polymaths such as Avicenna and Biruni (here is a great list of all those scientistsList of Persian polymaths laying the ground for today's science ) why:

These great polymaths would write completely separately on science and metaphysics. Their science books would mostly be written in Arabic due to the more precise nature of that language, and their metaphysical texts would usually in codes and a mix of poetry and Persian (Farsi) and Arabic.
Exaltation history 1

Exaltation history 2

But digging into metaphysical texts, you can find that those specific degrees align with certain days throughout the year, completely aligning with the most exact calendar in the world which happens to be the Persian calendar, claiming that the agents of those planets come to earth to impact humans or bless them if you will.

☝️Not everything can be proved with our current science level. A lot in metaphysics has not yet been explained, and that includes most if not all of astrology. Current science has not even been able to explain why planetary transits to a specific natal chart point create life events for us. Astronomy is a tool for Astrology, but never the other way around. LOL.

I'm going to need you to try better than analemmas to convince me. Analemmas are highly dependent on locations, and they actually prove nothing about the globe theory.

The link below eloquently explains analemmas in a flat earth:

This is off-topic but I am not interested in having the flat vs globe debate with you at all. I was a skeptic and I did my research and I certainly do not believe in a globe (because it's impossible to have such highly different weather situations in the north and south pole on a globe).

Now they're putting out links like this out there, because they know so many engineers like myself as well as anyone with common sense could see the flaws in the globe theory. Too many pilots have put the truth out there as well.

But, seriously, I also don’t think that Aries is the best sign. Although, I like being an Aries. I have signs that I lean towards, as personal favourites, but none are “the best”. We all balance each other out, as we’re supposed to.

I'm just a "do what's best for you" type. I might speak up at times, but I've never wanted to be in charge of anyone.

And I wasn't offended the other day. I was just responding. Thinking of everything I've seen, over the years.

I'm not a flat-earther, but why are you arguing over this? She isn't hurting anyone, and she said it helped with her work.

We talk about ourselves, all the time. I actually miss the days when we had a lot more real conversations. We had a lot of nightmarish threads, but we also had some fun.

Sorry to be blunt but why do you care how many times I throw around that word?

Subjective is true when it comes to astrological interpretations, and I don't believe I've used it in any other context. But "facts" cannot be subjective.

I also mentioned in my post above how the earliest text existing about exaltation degrees come from Biruni, who himself would write separately on science and metaphysics. He never mixed the two. He also never explained where those degrees comes from.  

Relax, no need to write with so many question marks lol. As I said, I was a glober for the longest time, but the contradictions I faced through my studies opened up my eyes and I ended up being a skeptic and read a ton.

You still haven't responded to my three simple questions:

How does your exaltation theory work with:
1. Analemma in the Antarctica
2. Exaltation of other planets
3. And how do you come back for the 10-minute video explaining how analemmas work on a flat earth

When it comes to Vedic, I remember getting a free reading generated, when friends were doing that on another site, and it seemed like it told most people that they were the worst people alive. So, that put me off, until I remembered that I have a Sun in Aries, Moon/Venus in Gemini, Scorpio ascendant, Mars in Pisces, and there are people who would declare the same in Western astrology.
