Debilitation sign in a zodiac for any planet is the sign where the planet is the least comfortable and where its functioning is severely impaired.
Basically there is a sign for every planet where in the energy and basic nature of the planet just don’t match with that of the sign resulting in the planet feeling out of place and in turn giving undesirable results. Think of the planet as a representation of a human being with a particular in-built nature and imagine that human being to be kept in the company of fellow human beings with a completely different nature. What can we expect ? - Rebellion ? Unhappiness ? Trying to adjust ? Frustration ?
Let’s see what debilitation means in real astrology:
Sun - Debilitated in Libra
The basic nature of Sun is fiery, individualistic, independent, decision maker, authoritative, royal, kingly, dominant. Try to look directly at the Sun and one will be forced to lower one’s eyes because Sun is supreme energy and divine light. Sun is the giver of light and hence doesn’t need anybody else to survive.
Libra on the other hand is soft, compromising, submissive, balancing, diplomatic, relationship oriented and dependent upon the ‘other’. It is totally opposite to what the Sun stands for. Libra represents the ‘masses’ who rarely raise their head against the King “Sun”. No wonder Saturn the head of labor union and the messiah of the poor loves Libra. The masses can only compromise and adjust to whatever the situation is.
Hence Sun feels out of place in Libra and if debilitated can really function in an arrogant manner. Lot of egoistic and narcissistic people have Sun in Libra because the Sun is trying to exert its power and trying to bring itself up from the masses of Libra.
Moon - Debilitated in Scorpio
Moon is the mind which is abstract and deals with emotions like love, care, empathy, brotherhood, compassion. Moon is soft, caring, motherly, traditional, patriotic and rhythmic
Scorpio is deep, emotionally turbulent, rebellious, secretive, revengeful and jealous. Scorpio can be repressed anger at its worst and mainly deals with hidden motives.
This is the reason Moon feels out of place because in Scorpio, mind can become fearful, revengeful and not accustomed to sudden events and turbulence.
Mercury - Debilitated in Pisces
Mercury is the intellect which is logical and analytical. Mercury loves to understand things, assimilate them, analyze them, dissect them and make logical conclusions about the outcome. Mercury is the diplomat that relies on concrete data, understands situations through reasoning and believes in logical argumentation and communication.
Pisces is abstract creative energy that is fuzzy, cloud like and unreliable. Pisces is imagination at its best which might not have any logical basis. Pisces is the painter who can create a modern art with no worldly sense or reasoning.
That’s why Mercury the logician feels strangled and frustrated in the abstract Pisces because intellect cannot function properly in accepting imaginary things without any concrete proof or analysis.
Venus - Debilitated in Virgo
Venus signifies love and compromise in relationships. Venus signifies balance and harmony that can come only when one is willing to drop the process of over analyzing the situations and accept the other with all the flaws and shortcomings. Venus signifies creativity that has no logical basis.
Virgo is the critic and accountant of the zodiac that believes in analyzing every aspect of life and criticize whatever it feels to be out of place. Virgo energy tries to keep a record of all gains and losses that arises out of people and situations.
Venus being the lover of the zodiac is frustrated in Virgo - the critic because Love can’t be judged all the time and two people in love cannot always point out each other’s flaws and shortcomings. Relationships cannot be analyzed like a book keeper as to what has been gained and what has been lost.
Mars - Debilitated in Cancer
Mars is the soldier and commando that has been assigned the task to hunt and kill predators and enemies. Mars is fiery, passionate, energetic, brave, inventive and a warrior that knows how to move forward and how to fight for survival and protection. Mars is logic and will power that has to move beyond emotions to see the reality and fight for a better future.
Cancer is soft, feminine, patient that believes in nurturing like a mother. Cancer is home where one feels relaxed and comfortable. Cancer is the usual pattern of home life where we know our day to day routine without having to worry about anything.
Mars is almost dead in Cancer because a soldier cannot sit at home and wait for the enemy to strike. The soldier has to go to the border or outside of it and strike deep in enemy territory to create a sense of protection. Mars has to go out of the protective home environment to strive and battle for success and survival.
Jupiter - Debilitated in Capricorn
Jupiter is the priest, the pundit, the teacher, the guru, the guide, the counselor, the philosopher whose main aim in life is to search for knowledge and strive to share it among other people. Jupiter is the wise man who rises above his own ambitions and believes in sharing and guiding humanity without much consideration to his own self interest.
Capricorn is the mountain goat with only one ambition - to climb to the top of the mountain. Capricorn is the ruthless business manager who longs to reach to the top through hard work and doesn’t mind cutting through the competition through selfish means.
Hence Jupiter the Guru feels totally out of place in the ruthless money minded world of Capricorn where virtues and knowledge have no value. Jupiter’s generosity and relaxed approach feels threatened in the ambitious and narrow minded Capricorn.
Saturn - Debilitated in Aries
Saturn is the blue collar worker, the labourer, the farmer, the common man whose life mainly consists of daily toil for survival and for a better life for himself and his family. Saturn is patience without which the society can fall apart in turmoil and chaos. Saturn is the slow moving ox toiling in the fields which ultimately produces crops and food for people.
Aries is a fiery place where things move at breakneck speeds. Aries is hot and impatient where competitive spirit thrives. It believes in rapid movement to attain its goals and represents all the modern machinery.
Naturally Saturn the slow worker feels out of place in this demanding fast paced sign of Aries.
Now the opposite of all these signs will naturally become the exalted signs for these planets where they feel the most comfortable.
Apart from these, there are signs where these planets are weakened and are called as detriment signs. These signs fall right opposite the planet’s own signs in the zodiac.
