Planets in domicile & exaltation: Blessing or curse
Martin Moritz

Combining classical and modern astrology can be the best of both worlds—if we are willing to tweak a few things here and there. In traditional astrology, planets in domicile and exaltation are considered blessings and signs of good fortune, a bit like hitting the jackpot. And indeed, favourably placed planets can shine like stars in a chart, enabling the native to dazzle the world with self-confidence (Sun), warmth (Moon), wit (Mercury), sensuousness (Venus), courage (Mars), and so on.

But at the same time, these planets can sometimes feel a bit over the top—too intense, even overwhelming. In this webinar we take a closer look at the potential downsides of these placements and how they can tend to overdo it.
