Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Robert, That was excellent! You made so much sense out of this chart that's been puzzling me. Debilitated means humility, now I get it. Aren't you an author? If so what books did you write? If not, you ought to be. Thanks again, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Robert, Just went to your site, knew you were an author! I'm saving up for a reading, too. When you do a reading, do you put the astrological causes in them (to help with learning)? Thanks, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Hello Jeff, The question you have raised vis a vis Neecha bhanga comes up a lot, and there are no really clear guidelines in the Parasari literature to far as how much, or to what extent a Neecha planet is cancelled. Neecha bhanga Raja yogas, however, are powerful and should be given all the weight, if not more, than most Raja-yogas. There is a saying that goes like this regarding the efficacy of exalted and debilitated planets in Kali-yuga: "Grahe uche niche va, srimantah" This means that both exalted as well as debilitated planets make one a "Srimantah", or a very prosperous person. This applies mainly in Kali-yuga, wherein the seed of greater wealth is one's humility, not one's prowess. Very often, persons with exalted planets (although they make one powerful or prosperous), will show some arrogance or condescension in the areas represented by those planets in strength. Someone showing humility (which, by the way is the real meaning of the word "Neecha"), however, gains greater blessings from the guru and God, and thus neecha planets make one "Srimantah", or prosperous in the ways the endure, namely attaining divine consciousness and freedom from Samsara (repetitions of birth and death). So coming closer to your question: If a debilitated planet is also a yoga-karaka for the horoscope, and joins an exalted planet in a good house (kendra or trikona), then the result will be a Neecha-bhanga Raja-yoga. In these cases, the cancellation not only applies fully, but the effects of Raja-yoga are felt. Apart from such yogas, a neecha planet getting cancellation, will only give marginally better results, if not a yoga karaka and not involved with stronger yoga producing planets. Neecha planets, however, which are exalted in the Navamsa chart, will give better results than other neecha-bhangas that apply only in the rasi chart. Similarly, planets that are exalted in the rasi chart, but debilitated in the Navamsa, will give worse effects than if their natal dispositors only were weak.

Anyway, whenever something I've been working on gets published, you will be the first to get a copy. Best wishes, Robert ===================================== Robert A.
