Various Issue – 7 : Two Exaltations in opposition transform into Fall planets
This case study is about a man whom I read his horoscope chart ten years ago. At that time, his was not at thirty of ages but with career’s advancement.
He worked as a small land and property developer (buildings with 2-3 floors) and accomplished 2-3 projects with upcoming project in pipeline by use of his parents’ fund. His parents had good financial status backed by jewelry business.
Based on his birthtime, his ASC locates at Scorpio. From our conversation, he is very thoughtful and deliberate person. He himself said, “I am an imaginative person.”
Then, I presumed that his ASC should be in Libra because of Saturn (Exaltation) in conjunction with ASC (thoughtfulness). Also, his Tanu-Lak (Venus) which implied art and imagination is in domicile and in the 8th house. So, it should be concluded that his ASC is in Libra.
Given ASC in Libra and Saturn in Exaltation in conjunction with ASC, the Sun in Exaltation (dignity, save face), Mars in Domicile (diligence), Mercury (thoroughness), the Moon in Maha Chakra (decent manner), all of which are in the 7th house and in opposition to ASC in the 7th house.
This positioning has caused his personality traits and life to follow the principles of Thai astrology in every aspect which I will elaborate in more details.
His Jupiter in Maha Chakra and in financial house confirms his career as building developer which earn money from installment scheme according to job’s accomplishment.
However, Uranus in conjunction with Jupiter led to ineffective spending despite being meticulous. Despite unstable income (still use his parents’ fund on investment), he spent on sport car which is unnecessary expenses…
Regarding the presence of multiple planets in the 7th house, he often forms partnerships or alliances with several people. Actually, he is not a player but likes to have several partners.
He himself stated, “I like to invest with others, whether it’s a small or big venture (he used the term ‘chipping in’). Participating even in small ways is still good.”
Other issues won’t be elaborated on, but the most important point will be emphasized:
When Saturn (Exaltation) in conjunction with ASC is in opposition to the Sun (Exaltation), both will transform to Fall planets.
His career as land and property developer is correct and is an auspicious job given Saturn (housing/land/gardening/hard-working) in Exaltation and in conjunction with ASC.
At that time, he also performed well in his career. He could afford to buy and drive a sports Benz even at a young age. He built houses, opened paint stores, owned and rented buildings for 7-Eleven stores.
However, the opposition between two exaltation planets could transform them into Fall planets which may reverse his destiny. This issue should be a concern. It is uncertain when this phase might occur in his life.
I cautioned him to be careful during that time. If he begins to feel unfavorable, he should consider stopping or have someone else take over. The key observation is: when he starts thoughtfulness and obsessing, that is when Saturn starts transforming into Fall planet.
Not long afterward, his mother suddenly passed away. Family properties and wealth were usurped by siblings and relatives, leading to legal disputes. Financial issues began to arise in his life.
Two years later, his father remarried, causing various problems. His father intervened and managed every aspect of his life. Fiery arguments ensued. Afterward, I cannot contact with him anymore.
Recently, he contacted me again and told me the followings.
Around 6-7 years ago, when transiting Saturn entered Aries and was in opposition to his ASC and his natal Saturn, his situation was in trouble.
He had to sell his businesses, cars, everything. His father who had moved to live with a new wife in a different province has broken up with that wife and returned to his original home after losing tens of millions of baht from being deceived
Now, he is starting anew with a new career (possibly from ongoing legal proceedings). This is the clear case study about Exaltations in opposition which I have personally witnessed from the beginning.
Note:
During that time, my examination for ASC was based on Saturn aspect to ASC.
However, I later found that Saturn which represents thoughtfulness is and internal attribute which is not easily observable. It requires careful questioning as the primary method of examination, and the native often doesn’t understand himself, how much he overthinks and to what extent.
Subsequently, after gaining more information, I found that the presence of Mercury (communication) is the best planet to assess ASC.
It’s an external attribute that can be observed more easily. The native in this case study also enhanced my confidence.
With Mercury in opposition to ASC and in conjunction with the Moon (Maha Chakra), the native is talkative with decent manner, nicely speaking with charm.
