What are the effective rules of Neecha Bhanga Raj Yoga (cancellation of debilitation) in astrology?
When a planet is debilitated and if this debilitation is cancelled by another planet then it is termed as Neecha banga. I have seen dozen of rules about neecha banga but of which only few are time tested and found to be working in actual. Following are rules that found to be working in my humble experience,
- When the lord of sign occupied by Neecha planet occupies own house then Neecha banga is raised. For example, if Sun debilitated in Libra then lord Libra Venus if occupies its own house(ie; Libra or Taurus) ir will create neecha banga.
- When the lord of sign occupied by Neecha planet gets exalted then neecha banga is raised. For example, if Saturn is debilitated in Aries, the lord of Aries Mars gets exalted in Capricorn then it will create neecha banga.
- When the debilitated planet occupies kendra house from Moon then neecha banga is raised. For example, if Mars debilitated in Cancer and Moon occupies Libra which is 4th house from Cancer then it will create neecha banga.
Coming to the result of neecha banga. Some scholars points this as a Raja yoga, but in my personal experience neecha banga will only limit the potential damage caused by it. In most cases, the effect of neecha will still need to be faced by the native. For example if 10th lord gets neecha banga then some of ill effects of neecha will be reduced but at the same time native will always have job dissatisfaction irrespective of cancellation.
