Balarishta Yoga (Part 5): Arishta-Bhanga Yoga – The Powerful The Cancellation of Balarishta Yoga

Table of Contents
Introduction
While Balarishta Yoga indicates vulnerability in early childhood due to malefic planetary combinations, its effects are not always permanent.
The presence of Arishta-Bhanga Yoga (cancellation of misfortunes) can neutralize or significantly reduce the negative impact of Balarishta Yoga. This means that even if a chart shows strong afflictions to the Moon, Lagna, or key houses, the child may still overcome health struggles and live a normal life.
In this final part of the series, we will explore:
✔ What is Arishta-Bhanga Yoga?
✔ How It Cancels or Reduces Balarishta Yoga
✔ Key Benefic Placements That Override Balarishta Effects
✔ Real-Life Case Studies of Arishta-Bhanga in Action
✔ Remedies for Strengthening Arishta-Bhanga Yoga
What is Arishta-Bhanga Yoga?
Arishta-Bhanga Yoga is a planetary combination that neutralizes or cancels the negative effects of Balarishta Yoga.
This occurs when strong benefic planets (like Jupiter, Venus, or Mercury) are:
✔ Well-placed in key houses (Lagna, 4th, 7th, 10th, 9th, or 5th).
✔ Aspecting or conjunct the Moon, Lagna, or 8th house.
✔ In exaltation or own sign, giving strong protective energy.
How Arishta-Bhanga Yoga Cancels Balarishta Yoga
1. Presence of Strong Benefic Planets in Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th Houses)
✔ Effect: Reduces the malefic impact of Balarishta Yoga by strengthening overall health.
✔ Example:
- Cancer Ascendant (Karka Lagna)
- Moon in 8th house (Aquarius, Balarishta Yoga).
- Jupiter in 10th house (Aries, Arishta-Bhanga Yoga).
- Result: The child experiences health issues but recovers well.
2. A Strong and Well-Placed Lagna Lord
✔ Effect: The Lagna lord determines physical vitality and resistance to disease. If strong, it cancels childhood health issues.
✔ Example:
- Taurus Ascendant (Vrishabha Lagna)
- Saturn in 12th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Venus in 1st house (Taurus, exalted, Arishta-Bhanga Yoga).
- Result: The child recovers from early struggles and develops good immunity.
3. Jupiter or Benefic Planets Aspecting the Moon
✔ Effect: Jupiter, the most protective planet, acts as a guardian against health risks.
✔ If Jupiter aspects the Moon or Lagna, it reduces malefic effects.
✔ Example:
- Aries Ascendant (Mesha Lagna)
- Moon in 6th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Jupiter in 9th house (Sagittarius, exalted, Arishta-Bhanga Yoga).
- Result: The child faces minor health issues but lives a long and healthy life.
4. The Presence of a Benefic Planet in the 9th House (Divine Protection)
✔ Effect: The 9th house represents divine grace and blessings. A benefic here helps reduce misfortunes.
✔ Example:
- Leo Ascendant (Simha Lagna)
- Saturn and Mars in 8th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Venus in 9th house (Taurus, own sign, Arishta-Bhanga Yoga).
- Result: The child is protected from major accidents or illnesses.
5. A Strong Sun or Moon (Ruling Physical Strength & Mental Stability)
✔ Effect: The Sun represents vitality, while the Moon represents emotional strength. If either is exalted or in own sign, it negates Balarishta effects.
✔ Example:
- Pisces Ascendant (Meena Lagna)
- Moon in 8th house (Balarishta Yoga).
- Sun in 1st house (Pisces, exalted, Arishta-Bhanga Yoga).
- Result: The child faces difficulties but remains mentally and physically strong.
