As the Jyotisha saying goes, the way neechcha bhanga works is "first the neechcha, then the bhanga".

In other words, a neechcha bhanga graha will do its neechcha behavior first, then the bhanga correction will kick in, and the native will be praised. But it is important to appreciate that the native first endures some type of obloquy. The neechcha graha gives initially, a variety of humiliation or failure. The praise and nobility does come, but only after one suffers   disability, embarrassment, an acute lack of judgment, or a big mistake.

Rules for Cancellation of Debility 

quoted from authorities: David Frawley and B.V. Raman

According to Frawley, 

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

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

  2. the neechcha graha's Lord = uchcha

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

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

  5. neechcha graha = retrograde


~~ The Astrology of the Seers by David Frawley


BPL note:

For example, the neechcha Budha of Albert Einstein obtains neechcha bhanga and gives marvelous results, because Budha satisfied two dosha-reversal conditions:

  • Budha occupies domain-10 

  • Guru lord of Meena becomes very strong through parivartamsha yoga with Shani in domain-10

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


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

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


A:  Debilitated planets get their Neechcha 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."

Q:

i want to ask u one question in one has nich grah in LAGNA kundali & in navmansha the nich grah becomes uch then NICHBHANGA IS CANCELD OR NOT?

A:

The rules for cancellation of debility or neechcha-bhanga, according to two authorities (Dr. Frawley & Shri Raman), are posted below.

So far as I know, the simple fact of a neechcha graha obtaining its uchcha rashi in navamsha does not create neechcha bhanga (reversal of the neechcha dosha).


Q. 59 Will there be Neechabhanga in a case where the planet capable of causing Neechabhanga is also Neecha {debilitated)?


Ans. 

No, the Neechabhanga planet must be sufficiently strong. 

There are other sources of strength and if the planet is otherwise strong, there will be Neechabhanga.

Examples of neechcha bhanga:

Thula-Surya in radix lagna for Hillary Clinton. 

Neechcha bhanga is obtained because Surya (1) occupies a kendra (2) lord Shukra = swakshetra.

In Shukra/Surya period, Hillary Clinton endured the intense public embarrassment of her husband's extremely public sexual affair with a young White House intern. About which he also lied under oath. Humiliation for his infidelity, lack of discretion, and apparent lack of moral character (at least the lying) was heaped upon Bill Clinton's long-suffering wife.

This was the neechcha part.

Before the end of the Shukra/Surya period, Hillary Clinton's public approval rating rose to 70% - extremely high for a political figure in the USA and remarkable for a woman who had been harshly criticized within the situation only months earlier. The public assessment of her conduct was, in the end, exceptionally favorable. 

Consensus was that she had carried herself with dignity and remained in the marriage for benefit of personal (and national) stability, and that her leadership qualities (Surya) of endurance, forgiveness, and focus on goals (L-11 Surya)  were well proven during a period of extreme stress.

That was the bhanga part.


Meena-Budha in karma bhava for Albert Einstein. 

Neechcha bhanga is obtained because Budha (1) occupies a kendra (2) through parivartamsha yoga, Budha's lord Guru obtains swakshetra. 

At the beginning of Shukra/Budha period, astronomers considered a number of Einstein's claims -- the results of his "thought experiments" -- to be unsupportable. His claims regarding the effect of gravity upon light were ignored, belittled, or outright rejected on the basis of apparent contradiction by the evidence.

That was the neechcha part.

By the end of Shukra/Budha period (where Budha = L-1/L-4) Einstein had published the General Theory of Relativity, in much the same form this theory has today.  The book, accessible to both scholars and lay readers, has been in continuous print, and is used in all universities.

That was the bhanga part.
