Arishta-Bhanga Yoga (Part 3): The Powerful Role of Lagna & Birth Timing in Cancelling Balarishta Yoga
April 6, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In the previous parts, we explored how benefic planets (Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus) can neutralize Balarishta Yoga and protect a child from early-life dangers. However, another crucial factor in cancelling Balarishta Yoga is the strength of the Lagna (Ascendant) and its lord.
The Lagna represents the physical body, health, and vitality, while the Lagna lord controls a person’s ability to resist diseases and recover from illness. If these elements are strong and well-supported, they can override even the worst planetary afflictions.
Additionally, the timing of birth (Day/Night birth and Krishna/Shukla Paksha) plays an essential role in determining the strength of Arishta-Bhanga Yoga.
In this part, we will cover:
✔ The importance of Lagna (Ascendant) in health & survival.
✔ How a strong Lagna lord cancels Balarishta Yoga.
✔ The role of Day/Night birth and Moon’s Paksha (Shukla or Krishna Paksha).
✔ Case studies of charts where a strong Lagna saved the child from early-life struggles.
How the Lagna & Lagna Lord Cancel Balarishta Yoga
The Lagna (Ascendant) is the most important point in a birth chart. It signifies:
✔ Physical health & immunity
✔ The strength of the body to resist disease
✔ Longevity & overall well-being
A strong Lagna and Lagna lord can cancel even severe Balarishta Yoga, ensuring survival and recovery.
1. When Does the Lagna Cancel Balarishta Yoga?
🔹 Lagna is occupied by benefic planets (Jupiter, Mercury, or Venus).
🔹 Lagna lord is in its own sign or exalted (e.g., Mars in Aries or Saturn in Capricorn).
🔹 Lagna lord is placed in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th house) or Trikona (5th or 9th house).
🔹 Lagna lord is aspected by a benefic and is free from malefic aspects.
🔹 No malefic planets are placed in Lagna or its lord is not severely afflicted.
2. When Does a Weak Lagna Make Balarishta Yoga Worse?
❌ Lagna is occupied by malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) without benefic influence.
❌ Lagna lord is weak, debilitated, or in a Dusthana house (6th, 8th, or 12th).
❌ Lagna is aspected by multiple malefics without any benefic protection.
❌ Moon is also weak or afflicted, worsening the overall impact on health.
✔ If the Lagna and its lord are weak, the child may suffer prolonged health issues and face greater risks from Balarishta Yoga.
The Role of Birth Timing: Krishna Paksha & Shukla Paksha
1. Day-Birth in Krishna Paksha & Night-Birth in Shukla Paksha
- Krishna Paksha: The waning phase of the Moon (when the Moon is decreasing in size).
- Shukla Paksha: The waxing phase of the Moon (when the Moon is increasing in size).
🔹 A child born during the daytime in Krishna Paksha gains a natural Arishta-Bhanga effect, reducing the impact of Balarishta Yoga.
🔹 A child born at night during Shukla Paksha also receives natural protection, as the Moon is gaining strength.
2. Why Does Paksha Matter in Cancelling Balarishta Yoga?
- In Krishna Paksha, the Sun is more dominant, which strengthens the physical body and immunity.
- In Shukla Paksha, the Moon gains strength, improving emotional and mental stability.
- If a child is born in the wrong Paksha (Krishna Paksha at night or Shukla Paksha in the day), they may have lower immunity and be more prone to illness.
✔ If a child has Balarishta Yoga but is born in the correct Paksha, it naturally cancels some of the negative effects!
Case Studies: When a Strong Lagna & Birth Timing Cancelled Balarishta Yoga
Case 1: Lagna Lord in Own Sign Cancelling Balarishta Yoga
📌 Birth Chart Details:
- Moon in the 8th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Saturn in 12th house (indicating long-term struggles).
- Lagna Lord Mars in 1st house (Aries, own sign, exalted).
📌 Outcome:
- The child had health issues in infancy but survived due to the strong placement of Mars in Lagna (own sign and exalted).
- Balarishta Yoga’s effects were significantly reduced.
Case 2: Night-Birth in Shukla Paksha Saving the Child
📌 Birth Chart Details:
- Moon in 6th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Weak Lagna lord in 8th house, increasing health risks.
- Birth occurred at 11:45 PM during Shukla Paksha (Moon’s waxing phase).
📌 Outcome:
- The child was born weak but gradually gained strength due to the protective influence of Shukla Paksha birth timing.
- Although the chart showed Balarishta, the correct birth timing reduced its impact.
