A full Moon in as benefic Rashi or Navamsa receiving the aspect of benefics would protect a children like Garuda (a holy bird in Hindu mythology) would protect one from serpents.

We have discussed Balarishta yogas in two previous articles. Just as there are Arishta or malefic yogas, there are Arishta-bhanga yogas as well. For instance, though there are Kuja Doshes (blemishes caused by Mars) and Kalasarpa yogas generated by certain planetary positions, there are Kuja Dosha-bhanga yogas and Kalasarpabhanga yogas. This astrological principle holds true for Balarishta yogas as well.

In this context, readers will realize that a discussion on Balarishta is not complete without a discourse on Balarishtabhanga yogas. We in this article propose to dwell on Balarishtabhanga yogas enunciated by Indian sage Venkatesa in his classical work Sarvarta Chintamani.

Balarishtabhanga yogas or planetary combinations and positions nullifying Balarishta in a Natal Chart according to Venkatesa are as follows: 

• Jupiter occupying the Lagna or the first House
• Lagnadhipati strengthened by aspects of  or/and association with benefics in quadrants (Kendrasthanas) who are not  afflicted either by aspect  of or conjunction with malefics
• Moon is in a benefic sign or Navamsa  aspected by Jupiter or the Full Moon under the aspect of Jupiter
• Benefics in quadrants without the aspect of malefics
• The lord of the Moon sign is in a quadrant  with benefic aspects
• Rahu occupying the 3rd, 6th or 11th without malefic conjunction or aspects, but with benefic aspects would protect the child from all evils just like a strong gust of wind blows away a wisp of cotton. 
• Even a weak Moon occupying  beneficial Vargas  (Divisions) and receiving benefic aspects would protect the child  just like pomegranate (Delum)  juice would protect  one from bowel disorders 
• An exalted Moon in a friendly Rashi or Navamsa or in her own Navamsa and Vargas will dispel malefic influences visiting a childlike like the rays of the Sun evaporate a dew on a blade of grass 
• A full Moon in as benefic Rashi or Navamsa receiving the aspect of benefics would protect a children like Garuda (a holy bird in Hindu mythology) would protect one from serpents.

Balarishta is not inevitable death
Balarishta yogas referred to in classical astrological works do not always in all cases result in death.  Balarishta also can mean a serious health problem that a child is subject to.

According to renowned Indian astrologer and writer on astrology E.S. Neelakanthan the rules in Astrology are not deterministic (the final word on a given subject). He says that most planetary afflictions can, not only be mitigated but also wholly eliminated enabling the native to lead a full life. 

Balarishta in a nutshell by Dr. Raman
For the benefit of our readership, we wish to quote a relating to Balarishta  and the answer that comes in ‘A Catechism  of Astrology ‘   authored by great Indian Jyotish Gurudev  Dr. B.V. Raman : “ Q: There are many Balarishta yogas  which are  impossible  to keep in memory for an ordinary astrologer. Is there any simple rule for finding out the same?

Answer: 
(a) Look at the Moon and Jupiter. If they are in undesirable positions, there is Balarishta
 (b) If Lagna is afflicted, there is Balarishta 
 © If the 6th, 8th, and the 12th are occupied by malefics, there is Balarishta.
