According to Vedic astrology, the Moon is exalted in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Taurus, which in simple words means that Moon gains maximum strength when placed in Taurus compared to its placement in all the other signs. Exalted Moon is associated with many good things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that exalted Moon always works positively in a horoscope and it brings good results for the native under its influence, which is not the case in actual practice. Exalted Moon can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word exalted simply relates to the strength of the Moon in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of the Moon in a horoscope. Accordingly exalted Moon placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of the Moon as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when exalted Moon is placed in different houses of a horoscope.
Exalted Moon in 1st House : When working positively, exalted Moon placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to his profession, marriage, health, finances and many other spheres of his life. Accordingly the natives benefitting from this positive influence may witness good results related to some of these spheres depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic influence can render some creative abilities or some special abilities to the native under its influence and accordingly these natives may achieve success through the fields of profession where such abilities are valued. This benefic placement in the horoscope of female natives in particular can prove more beneficial than the same placement in the horoscope of male natives as it can bless the female natives with beauty, style, elegance and many other qualities which may help them ride the ladder of success in many spheres of their lives, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes.
For example, the presence of benefic exalted Moon in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus can bless the female native under its influence with a beautiful face as well as with a beautiful body and such beauty may increase if at the same time, benefic Venus is also placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with such benefic exalted Moon. Accordingly, the female native under the combined effect of these two benefic planets may become very beautiful and she may also have a special style added to many of the things she does as well as in the way she presents and carries herself. Such female native may receive much praise for her beauty right from her early age and she may witness many types of practical benefits by virtue of this beauty depending on the overall tone of her horoscope.
For instance, if benefic Rahu is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini and benefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become very well aware of her beauty and she may decide to make use of it. Such female native may enter into some beauty contests at a proper age and she may witness much praise in those contests by virtue of her beauty and style. If benefic Mercury is present in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and benefic Sun is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, such female native may not only enter into such beauty contests, but she may also win some of them, particularly the ones which choose a winner up to the city or state level.
If benefic Jupiter is also present in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini along with benefic Rahu when a benefic combination of exalted Moon and Venus is placed in the first house of this horoscope, benefic Mercury is in the tenth house, benefic Sun is in the eleventh house and Ketu is in the eighth house of this horoscope, the equation may improve and the benefits may increase in quantum. The female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may not only win many beauty contests up to the state level, but she may also secure one of the first two positions in a national beauty contest. It means that if such female native contests in a beauty pageant in India, she may be declared Miss India Universe or Miss India World, which means that she may become the winner or the first runner up of such Miss India contest.
The presence of benefic Mars in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with benefic exalted Moon and benefic Venus can enhance this equation and the results may change further, as a benefic Chandra Mangal Yoga may be formed in the first house of the horoscope of such female native. The female native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may not only get blessed with exotic looks and charming style, but she may also be very good at the art of using her looks and styles according to the demand of the situation. Hence such female native under the benefic influence of all these benefic planets may not only win a national beauty contest but she may also secure a position among the top three contestants in Miss Universe or in Miss World contest. Such female native may also try her luck in movie industry after winning such beauty contests and she may achieve good amount of success through this field also.
Some natives under the effect of this benefic influence may achieve success through many other types of professional fields depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes, as this benefic influence can bless the native with success through many types of professions. For example, if benefic exalted Moon is present in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus and benefic Mercury is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native under the combined effect of these two benefic planets may start a business which may deal with the selling of beauty products for females, with the items of luxuries, with the items used for beautifying the houses or with some other such type of product which enhances the beauty of a person or a place in some way.

On the other hand, if the same benefic combination of Venus and Rahu is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic Mercury, the native may sell the products which directly deal with enhancing the beauty of people. Such native may become the owner of a big showroom or a chain of showrooms which may deal in various products related to beauty and luxury. The combined effect of all these benefic planets can also bless the native with special creative abilities related to the enhancement of beauty and accordingly he may become a designer who may design beautiful clothes, handbags, perfumes and many other such items which enhance and promote the beauty of people. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve even more success.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Moon in the first house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his profession, marriage, health and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may have to suffer from some of these problems depending on their overall horoscopes. Such malefic influence can especially prove very bad for the marriage aspect of the native under its influence and accordingly it can cause problems in the marriage of the native, though it doesn’t usually delay the marriage of the native. For example, the presence of malefic exalted Moon in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus can create disturbances in the marriage of the native and such native may have to suffer from issues related to lack of trust in his marriage.
At the same time, if malefic Jupiter is also placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with malefic exalted Moon, the native under the combined effect of these two malefic planets may have to face even more problems related to his marriage. Such native may have to face serious disturbances in his marriage and he may not be able to maintain a good equation with his wife, as the two of them may keep arguing and fighting with each other on account of one reason or the other. It should be noted that the native under the combined effect of these two malefic planets is more likely to initiate the disputes in his marriage, in most cases. It means that he may find more excuses to argue and fight with his wife than those found by his wife. If there are some other malefic influences in the horoscope of this native, he may have to face one or more than one broken marriage, under the malefic influence of such planets.
Malefic exalted Moon in the first house of a horoscope can also trouble the native with problems related to his profession and health. For example, the presence of the same malefic combination of Moon and Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus may trouble the native on account of professional problems due to which, such native may not be able establish professionally, till late in his life. At the same time, if a malefic combination of Venus and Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius when malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the equation may become much more negative. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of these malefic planets may have to change his job many times in his life and he may also have to remain jobless many times in his life. As more malefic influences add to this horoscope, the native may have to suffer even more, like the presence of malefic Sun in the sixth house or the presence of malefic Saturn in the eighth house of this horoscope can intensify the problems of this native.
