“Exaltation” is also the astrological term for when a given celestial body is placed in what’s regarded as the most advantageous sign:
In astrology, exaltation is one of the five essential dignities of a planet. The exaltation is a place of awareness for the planet, whereas the fall is a position of weakness concerning the function of the planet. The sign position directly opposite a planet's sign of exaltation is considered to be its fall.
Each of the seven traditional planets has its exaltation in one zodiac sign. The positions are:
Sun: 19th degree of Aries (i.e., 18°00' - 18°59') Moon: 3rd degree of Taurus Mercury: 15th degree of Virgo Venus: 27th degree of Pisces Mars: 28th degree of Capricorn Jupiter: 15th degree of Cancer Saturn: 21st degree of Libra
