Neechabhanga of Moon - Difficult

|| Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Jyotisha,

>From the principles given by Pt. Sanjay Rath on neechabhanga (see below), one

can notice that the conditions 1 and 2 are applicable to all the planets

whereas the conditions 3 and 4 are applicable to selective groups of planets.

Lets examine the neechabanga possibilities of the planets wrt the conditions 3

and 4.

Condition 3:

Sun gets exalted in the 7th Navamsa from the debilitation sign

Moon cannot have neechabhanga by its placement in the exalted navamsa as the

span of the navamsa signs are from Cancer to Pisces and doesnot include Taurus.

Mars can get neechabhanga by its placement in the exalted Navamsa

Mercury can also get neechabhanga in as Gemini happens to be the 3rd Navamsa for Pisces

Jupiter can also get neechabhanga as Cancer happens to be the 7th Navamsa for Capricorn.

These shows that the planets getting debilitated in movable sign viz., Sun,

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars can get neechabhanga in Navamsa as the exaltation sign

falls in the 7th navamsa. The planets getting debilitated in the dual signs

viz., Venus and Mercury can get neechabhanga in Navamsa as their exaltation

sign shall fall in the 3rd navamsa. The only planet Moon, who gets debilitated

in the Fixed sign doesnot get the neechabhanga based on the Navamsa. Why is

that? This might also include the nodes who get debilitated in the Taurus -

Scorpio axis (for Ayus).

Condition 4:

This is a known fact that all the planets have their debilitation- exaltation

pair in some 1-7 axis (excluding node here). Such as Sun- Saturn, Jupiter- Mars

and Mercury- Venus. Now all these planets can be exalted if the debilitated

planet is placed with the exalted one. However, why Moon is left out from these

pairs?

You all see that the possibility of cancellation of Moon's debilitation is rarer

than other planets. Can I have your thoughts on this?

Pt. Sanjay Rath says this on Neechabhaga:

----------------------------

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 writes 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.

Best Wishes

Dear Sarajit,

For neechabhanga, 2 of the conditions are - either the lord of the sign of

exaltation of the debilitated planet / the lord of the sign of debility of the

debilitated planet should in a kendra to Lagna or Moon.

Now, when moon gives neechabhanga - for jup or mars, can we consider that it

will give neechabhanga automatically at any position - as moon will always be

in kendra from itself?
