Balarishta Yoga (Part 3): Powerful Planetary Combinations Leading to Balarishta Yoga
April 6, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In previous sections, we explored how Balarishta Yoga forms due to the Moon’s placement in malefic houses. However, other planetary combinations can also contribute to early childhood health issues.
Certain malefic planets, Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, and Sun, when placed in unfavorable positions, can intensify the negative effects of Balarishta Yoga. If they are in Dusthana houses (6th, 8th, or 12th), Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th), or aspecting key life points, they can increase vulnerability to diseases, accidents, and overall health struggles.
In this blog, we will cover:
✔ How Malefic Planets Create Balarishta Yoga
✔ Specific Combinations Leading to Balarishta Yoga
✔ Effects on Childhood Health & Development
✔ Case Studies of Severe Balarishta Formations
✔ Remedies to Reduce Negative Impact
How Malefic Planets Create Balarishta Yoga
A malefic planet (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, or Sun) can cause severe childhood health issues if:
- It is placed in a Trik (6th, 8th, or 12th house)
- These houses govern diseases, accidents, and losses.
- Malefic planets here weaken the child’s immune system and overall vitality.
- It is in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house) & Aspected by Another Malefic
- Kendras are powerful houses and should have benefic influence.
- If malefics occupy these houses and aspect each other, they cause severe disturbances in childhood.
- Multiple Malefic Planets Are Conjunct or Aspecting Each Other
- When Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu form conjunctions, they increase health risks, emotional instability, and delays in development.
- The Lagna Lord is Weak & Surrounded by Malefics
- The Lagna represents the child’s overall vitality.
- If it is weak or placed between malefics (Papakartari Yoga), it increases the risk of early health struggles.
Specific Planetary Combinations That Form Balarishta Yoga
1. Mars, Saturn, and Sun Together in the 6th or 8th House
✔ Effects:
- The child may have serious health complications at birth.
- Prone to fevers, infections, surgeries, or congenital defects.
- Delayed recovery from illnesses, requiring medical attention.
✔ Example:
- Scorpio Ascendant (Vrishchika Lagna)
- Mars, Saturn, and Sun conjunct in the 8th house (Gemini).
- Effect: The child is born premature and has a weak immune system, requiring intensive care.
2. A Weak Moon in Lagna & Malefics in the Kendras & 8th House
✔ Effects:
- The child has low energy, frequent digestive issues, and weak growth.
- Mentally slow or emotionally unstable.
- Difficulty in bonding with parents, particularly the mother.
✔ Example:
- Libra Ascendant (Tula Lagna)
- Debilitated Moon in Lagna (Libra).
- Saturn in 4th house, Mars in 7th house, Rahu in 8th house.
- Effect: The child has speech delays, emotional hypersensitivity, and slow development.
3. Moon in Lagna & Malefics in the 7th House
✔ Effects:
- The child may have psychological issues or an unstable emotional nature.
- Restlessness, excessive fears, or hyperactivity.

✔ Example:

- Effect: The child may experience extreme mood swings and separation anxiety.
4. Moon in Lagna, Saturn in the 12th House, Sun in the 9th House, Mars in the 8th House, & Weak Jupiter
✔ Effects:
- This is a highly dangerous Balarishta combination if Arishta-Bhanga Yoga is absent.
- The child may be born with severe complications, requiring immediate medical intervention.

✔ Example:
- Leo Ascendant (Simha Lagna)
- Moon in 1st house (Leo), Saturn in 12th house (Cancer), Sun in 9th house (Aries), Mars in 8th house (Pisces), and weak Jupiter in 6th house (Aquarius).
- Effect: The child may have birth-related defects, chronic illnesses, or require multiple surgeries.
Case Study: Severe Balarishta Yoga vs. Its Cancellation
Example 1: Severe Balarishta Yoga
- Moon in 8th house, conjunct Rahu and Saturn
- Lagna lord debilitated in 12th house
- Jupiter combust (weak) in 6th house
- Effect: The child was born premature and suffered health complications in the first two years.
Example 2: Arishta-Bhanga Cancelling Balarishta Yoga
- Moon in 8th house, but exalted and aspected by Jupiter from the 2nd house
- Lagna lord strong in the 1st house
- Venus in the 9th house, bringing divine blessings
- Effect: The child faced minor health issues but recovered and lived a normal life.
