## **Some sutras about Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga**

1. The lord of the sign of exaltation of the debilitated planet is in a kendra to
Lagna or Moon. For example, if Mercury is debilitaed in Pisces, the Mercury itself
which is the lord of Virgo, the sign of its exaltation, should be in a kendra to
Lagna or Moon. Thus, Mercury attains neechabhanga if eithe lagna or chandra is in
any of the dual signs. It is for this purpose you find that dual signs give good
communication abilities and produce many writers etc. Another example: If Saturn
is debilitaed in Aries, then if Venus, the lord of Libra its sign of exaltation 
is in a kendra to the Lagna or Moon, Saturn gets neecha bhanga or cancellation of
debility.
 2. The lord of the sign of debility of the debilitated planet is in a
kendra to Lagna or Moon. This is the concept of the dispositor of the planet, and
if the dispositor of a debilitated planet is in a Kendra to Lagna or Moon, then 
neecha bhanga occurs. This is also an important part of the Kalpa Druma Yoga where
the dispositor of the strong lagna lord is required to be in a kendra to lagna. 
In such a case, when the naive approaches someone for help, when in trouble or in
debility, help is sure to come.

3. The debilitated planet occupies its exaltation sign in the Navamsa chart. Every
sign has nine Navamsa, Saturn is debilitated in Aries and the seventh Navamsa is
that of Libra, its exaltation sign. Thus, if Saturn were to be between 20-23.20 
degrees in Aries, neechabhanga is automatic. This implies that the native has done
some very good dharmic karma in the past birth bring ing forth the blesings of Bhagavan
and hence his debilitated condition or troubles are forgiven and he gets relief.

4. The sign where the planet is in debility is conjoined another planet which gets
exalted in that sign. It pays to have powerful friends and associates and a planet
in debility, if conjoined another planet in exaltation leads to a situation where
the troubled soul meets another who is exalted and powerful or the person who is
best suited to help him out. Sheer luck you may call those situations or just coincidence
is what many people say. In one case, a businessman was about to be kicked out of
all his businesses and as he waited at the airport, he had the acquaintance of the
chairman of a bank. They discussed and then the businessman revealed his problem.
The Chairman cancelled his flight and went back to office the next day and gave 
him a loan. The businessman went on to purchase controlling shares and grow into
a big business house.

Such Rajyoga do not occur with every neechabhanga, and at least a few of the factors
cited above have to occur. further, all planets do not get neechabhanga by all the
four methods. As a study, examine the debility of each planet and see the peculiar
situations that cause its exaltations and the lessons they hold.

I

1) Lord of the sign occupied by a debilitated planet, placed in a Kendra (angle)
from the Lagna or the Moon.
 2) The planet which gets exalted in the sign where 
a planet is debilitated is in a Kendra from the Lagna or the Moon. 3) The lord of
the exaltation sign of the debilitated planet is posited in a Kendra from the Lagna
or the Moon. 4) A neecha planet exalted in the Navamsa.

II

5) A debilitated planet being aspected by another debilitated planet.
 6) Lord of
the Navamsa occupied by a debilitated planet in a Kendra (angle) or trikona (trine);
the ascendant being a movable sign or the lord of the ascendant is in a movable 
Navamsa. 7) Lord of the Rasi where a planet is debilitated is in a trine from the
Lagna or the Moon. 8) The planet that gets exalted in the sign where the planet 
is debilitated, is in a trine to the lord of the exaltation sign of the debilitated
planet.

III

9) The lords of the debilitation and exaltation signs are in mutual kendras (angles).

10) A debilitated planet, aspected by the lord of the sign, situated in an auspicious
house. 11) Lord of the Rasi in which a planet is debilitated or the lord of the 
planet’s exaltation sign, or the planet who gets exalted there is in a trine from
the Lagna or the Moon.

Of the three sections given above, the importance of the yogas may be said to decrease
in the descending order.
