What are exaltation (Uccha) and debilitation (Neecha)?
Also known as: exaltation and debilitation
Uccha (exaltation) is the sign where a planet is strongest and gives its best results; Neecha (debilitation) is the opposite sign, where it is weakest. Each planet has one of each.
For example, the Sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. A debilitation can be cancelled (Neecha Bhanga) under certain conditions, sometimes producing a powerful yoga.
