Which Degrees are the Planets Exalted and Debilitated?
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish), planets reach their maximum strength (exaltation or Ucha) and maximum weakness (debilitation or Neecha) at exact specific degrees within certain zodiac signs.
The deepest point of exaltation (Param Ucha) and deepest point of debilitation (Param Neecha) occur exactly (180^) apart from each other.

💡 Important Rules to Remember
Exact Degree vs. Sign: A planet is considered exalted or debilitated throughout the entire zodiac sign listed above. However, the specific degree mentioned is its absolute peak or lowest point.
The (180^) Opposition Rule: If you know a planet's exaltation sign and degree, its debilitation is always exactly the opposite sign (7^ house away) at the exact same numerical degree.
The Shadow Planets (Rahu & Ketu): Note: Astrological texts vary on Rahu and Ketu because they are mathematical nodes rather than physical planets. Some classic texts place their exaltation in Taurus/Scorpio, while others place them in Gemini/Sagittarius.
✅ Summary of Planetary Degrees
