When exalted Moon is placed in the tenth house in a horoscope, Leo rises in the ascendant. Exalted Moon is malefic in the tenth house in many cases though it may turn benefic in some cases. This generally happens when Moon is influenced by benefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of benefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Moon may become more benefic.
If exalted Moon is influenced by two or more than two benefic planets in the tenth house, it may turn significantly or highly benefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such exalted Moon can also turn it benefic, when such theme is highly benefic. The concept of malefic planets turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.

The native may achieve very good amount of success, money and recognition through his profession.
