Exaltation and fall
I noticed you edited some articles about zodiac signs, and your changes were related to exaltation and fall. I don't know anything about these, so I hope you can answer a few questions.

My starting point is that I regard astrology as a pseudoscience and pay no heed to predictions, or personality assessments, made by astrology. But I do recognize that little or no distinction was made between astrology and astronomy until about the time of Isaac Newton (late 17th century). So some of the ideas used in astrology are the same ideas used in astronomy. For example, the dates the Sun is in each sign are shared between the two fields, and the British Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris of the late 18th and early 19th century often wrote celestial longitude as a sign, followed by the degrees, minutes, and seconds into the sign.

So I would like to know if there is a source which astronomers would regard as reliable which explains fall and exaltation. Thanks. Jc3s5h (talk) 17:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there's any logical explanation for exaltion and fall atleast in Astronomy GeomancyGarbodor (talk) 16:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
