Yogas to Look For
Neecha Bhanga (cancellation of debility). Jupiter's weakness in Capricorn is cancelled when, for example, Saturn (the lord of Capricorn) or the planet exalted in Capricorn is in a kendra from the ascendant or Moon, or when Jupiter is aspected by its own sign lord. A cancelled debility can even produce a Raja Yoga.
