Debilitation of Planets in Zodiac Signs

The 7th house or 180th degree from the place of exaltation is the place of debilitation. The debilitation of a planet takes place in a Zodiac. Zodiac is the ring of constellation that lines the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial spheres over the course of a year. The Zodiac denotes those signs that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones.

Since, every planet has a primary goal. Therefore, while moving in the ecliptic path all planets find a suitable zone that makes them exalted which means the place where a planet gets all the resources to accomplish their primary goal.

On the other hand, debilitation sign is the place where a planet feel complete lack of resources and which makes the planet weak and repulsive in performance.

For example, Jupiter is debilitated in the Capricorn sign because Capricorn is the 7th sign from Cancer sign and is 180 degrees away from the sign of Cancer the sign of exaltation for Jupiter. Also, Capricorn is a sign where Jupiter feels the presence of least resources to fulfil its primary goal such as true happiness leading to self realization and eventually enlightenment.
