April 6, 2025 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.
