Rules for Cancellation of Debility 

quoted from David Frawley and B.V. Raman

According to Frawley, 

At least two forms of cancellation are required to achieve neechha bhanga:

  1. debilitated planet in a kendra [definitely if in domain-10]

  2. the neechha graha's Lord = uccha

  3. neechha = reduced somewhat if lord of the neechha graha is strong or swakshetra

  4. if debilitated planet hosts an uccha planet in one of its rashis

  5. neechha graha = retrograde

~~ The Astrology of the Seers by David Frawley

According to B.V. Raman, the rules are a little easier : )

Q:  How do debilitated (Neechha) planets get their Neechha Bhanga (cancellation of debility)?  

What are the general and special rules to find out the same?

A:  Debilitated planets get their Neechha Dosha removed in four ways: 

  1. If the lord of the sign occupied by the debilitated planet or the lord of the rashi wherein the debilitated planet has its exaltation occupies a quadrant from the Ascendant or the Moon.

  2. If the lord of the navamsha of the debilitated planet occupies a quadrant or a trine from the Moon, and the Moon and Lagna happen to be in Chara or moveable signs, or lagna navamsha happens to be moveable.

  3. If two or three or four planets happen to be debilitated but occupy good Shastyamshas or favorable and good Navamshas or exalted Navamshas, the evil arising from debilitation will not come to pass.

  4. If the debilitated planet has good Ashtakavarga strength, then again the same can be told.  Only when the planet has no varga strength (Saptha-vargas as Hora etc.) the evils arising from that source will afflict the native.
