Houses are like places and signs are like environment for an example in Scorpio ascendant if Mars is in the ninth house it is in the best house of the chart but still deblitated, means that you have resources but still from within you are unhappy. people look up to you but from within satisfaction is not there. in another case for Sagittarius ascendant if Jupiter is in the 8th house it is the bad house of the chart but its exalted it means that people might not look up to you but you are satisfied with whatever you have or 8th house significations will make you grow in life.
