How a debilitated planet can produce results

In a recent video, Sachin Sharma and I discussed Saturn and how it performs when it is Exalted or Debilitated. In that discussion, we talked about how the placements of specific Sign/Rasi rulers can assist in producing results in the person’s life. Interestingly, this is not by helping the debilitated planet, but by the Sign/Rasi ruler being extra motivated to create success because of its awareness of the difficulty caused by the placement of the debilitated planet.

Here are the 4 ways that “Neechabhanga Raja Yogas” are created …

On an angle from the Ascendant/Lagna OR the Moon, there is …

(1.) the planet that rules the Sign/Rasi that the debilitated planet is in OR

(2.) the planet that is Exalted in the Sign/Rasi that the debilitated planet is in OR

(3.) the planet that is the ruler of the Exaltation Sign/Rasi of the debilitated planet OR

Conjunct OR on angles from each other there are …

(4.) (a) the planet that rules the Sign/Rasi that the debilitated planet is in AND

(b) the planet that is the ruler of the Exaltation Sign/Rasi of the debilitated planet

(i.e. (1.) + (3.) conjunct or on mutual angles)

As we reflect on these yogas, it is worth noting how the rulers of the relevant Debilitation Sign/Rasi and the Exaltation Sign/Rasi ‘pick up’ on the pain caused by the Debilitated planet, if they are on angles to the Ascendant/Lagna, the Moon or each other, and adjust their efforts accordingly.
