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