Formation
Neechabhanga Raja Yoga is formed when a debilitated planet's debilitation is "cancelled" by specific classical conditions. The cancellation can occur via several rules: (a) the lord of the debilitation sign is in a kendra from Lagna or Moon, (b) the planet that exalts in the debilitation sign is in a kendra, (c) the debilitated planet is in a kendra from Moon or Lagna, or (d) the debilitated planet aspects or is aspected by its exaltation lord. When cancelled, the debilitation paradoxically becomes a source of greatness.
