Interesting.

Although the Achaemenid Persian kings ruled over Mesopotamia for the longest time, directly ruling over Babylon until Alexander several hundreds years later.

And during that time hellenistic astrology was thriving in Babylon, mixing elements of Persian and Egyptian astrology.

The exaltation degrees currently used in western are introduced by Biruni the Persian polymath, who got them from ancient Magi texts and verified they were also used by ancient Greeks (since the Greeks used to copy Persians in science and architecture), and he also noted that this is very different from Vedic exaltation concepts.

1- Ptolemy is much older than Biruni
2- I'm sure Ptolemy has more influence on western astrology than Biruni

I'm not going to argue over this matter

Astrology existed before Ptolemy, and the Magi are older than Ptolemy. In today's history Biruni seems to be the person credited with exaltation degrees, the topic we're discussing. Hence why I mentioned him.

But in general the Greeks and Persians had influences over one another for the majority of ancient history. The Greeks mostly following which makes sense because they were a later civilization. Biruni studied both Ptolemy and Vedic sources but his main source of astrology knowledge was the Magi texts. Due to his extreme precision his practices have been incorporated into western astrology we use today. Someone trying to discredit his work online won't change that fact.

Interesting fact about the magi, they were very powerful and part of the council that selected the king and oversaw his actions. Meaning the king could not make major decisions by himself only.

I wasn't arguing either. I think we're both trying to communicate the same thing.

There you go. And just so you know, ancient Mesopotamia (Babylon) was ruled by Persians for 630 years before Ptolemy was born, and they were already long practicing astrology and exaltations, because they had to oversee the kings' major moves.

To feel comfortable in one's body (Aries) is to love one self (Aries). I don't mean it in a 'loving your body' type of way, I mean 'comfortable in your body' as in feeling okay with one's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, self.

When a person truly likes themselves, they feel very 'comfortable in one's body (Aries).'

Also, when you feel good about yourself, you tend to attract (via Law Of Attraction) better things to yourself! Also, your life tends to be more happy, and peaceful.

And so, the Sun is exalted in Aries.

------------------
Happiness is easy to find.
