- Vakra is a Sanskrit word that (retrogression)
- Anuvakra is a Sanskrit word that means ” (entering the previous sign in retrograde motion)
- Mand (movement is a little slower than usual)
- Mandatar is a term used to describe a (slower than the previous)
- Sama is a character in the film Sama (neither fast nor slow)
The virupas allotted as a result of these 8 motions are 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45, and 30.
The Shad Bal Pindas are 390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330, and 300 Virupas, which are required for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn to be deemed powerful. The Grah is considered very strong if its strength exceeds the above-mentioned parameters. A powerful graha will safeguard its dwellings and karakakatva, and will be more capable of producing outcomes. The nature of the consequences, however, will be modified by the planet’s ownership, positions, and yogas. However, knowing the strength of each of the shadbala’s elements, as well as the precise nature of the output, is critical.
Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun are powerful if their Sthana Bala, Dig Bala, Kaala Bala, Cheshta Bala, and Ayana Balas are 165, 35, 50, 112, and 30 Virupas, respectively. 133, 50, 30, 100, and 40 are the same as for Moon and Venus. These are 96, 30, 40, 67, and 20 for Mars and Saturn, respectively.
The shadbala’s individual elements depict various facets of our lives. The following are the details:
1. Sthana Bala: This planet bestows power and prestige. This also reveals which positions are best for us and where we will feel most at ease.
2. Dig Bala: This displays the path that will be beneficial to our job or personal development.
3. Kaala Bala: This demonstrates when the best moment is for us to do something.
4. Cheshta Bala: This depicts what motivates us, our innate goals, and the meaning of our life’s fight.
5. Naisargika Bala: This is of minor importance because it is consistent throughout. This should be utilized in combination with other abilities. This shows which planets are naturally better at dictating outcomes.
6. Drik Bala: Based on the aspect of benefics on the planet, this shows which planet would be beneficial throughout the native’s life.
What exactly is Sada Bala?
A graha can gain power by being positioned in a specific Rasi, Bhava, Varga, Day or Night time, Shukla or Krsna paksha, being Vakri or triumphant in Graha Yuddha, and so on. Shadbala is a mathematical model that can be used to calculate the strength gained from six different sources. To fully comprehend the true impact of various occupations, aspects, and yogas in a horoscope, one must have a solid idea of the grahas’ power. Without it, one’s analysis may be deceptive.
27.3738 BPHS The many sources of strengths should be gathered and impacts disclosed, O Brahmin. Whatever Yogas or effects have been stated in relation to a Bhava will pass through the most powerful Graha.
4.34 Saravali The directional, positional, temporal, and motional strengths of a Graha are vital in determining its auspicious and inauspicious effects, as they are deemed feeble without them.
There are six different sources of grahas’ strength, which incorporates all of them. In the Brhat Parashari Hora Shastras, a detailed appraisal of the strength is given, along with considerable mathematical analysis. Unless one has a lot of time to spare, it is preferable to construct a mental model to rapidly estimate the strength of the grahas rather than diving into thorough computation. This isn’t meant to discourage computation; rather, it’s meant to help people grasp the sources of strength so they may investigate the important aspects and quickly analyze them.
The following are the six sources of strength:
- Sthanabala: This is where the strengths that arise from various types of placements in Rasi and Vargas are categorised. (1) Uccha, (2) Saptavargaja, (3) Ojayugma, (4) Kendradi, and (5) Drekkana are the five sub-components.
- Dikbala: The power derived from placement in specific Kendras, which is determined by the Tattva that governs the grahas and Kendras.
- Kalabala: The power that arises from the moment of birth or the occurrence of an event. Paksha, (2) Abdamasadinahora, (3) Ayana, (4) Natonnata, (5) Tribhaga, and (6) Yuddha are the six sub-components.
- Chestabala: The power derived through movement, whether rapid or slow, forward or backward.
- Naisargika: The strength that arises from the grahas’ natural strengths and weaknesses.
- Drgbala: The power derived from aspects of the shubha and papa grahas. The sources of strength are the shubha grahas, while the origins of weakness are the papa-grahas.
The six sources of power, according to Mantresvara, are similar to Maharishi Parashara’s teachings, but he suggests some differences. Drgbala was removed from the Sthanabala and Ucchabala was split from the Sthanabala. Mantresvara’s opinion, in my humble opinion, is misleading, because Ucchabala is obtained from a Graha’s occupation in numerous Ris calculated from the Uccha sphuta. As a result, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be part of the Sthanabala. Drgbala also adds 1 rupa of strength that isn’t included in Mantresvara’s calculation, which isn’t correct.
Phaladeepika 4.1: A Graha’s strength is supposed to be sixfold, and they are listed in this order: (1) Kalaja, (2) Cheshta, (3) Ucchaja, (4) Dik, (5) Ayana, and (6) Sthana are the names of the animals. Mangal, Chandra, and Shukra are powerful at night. Budha is a powerful being at all times. During the day, the rest are really strong. The Naisargika Shubha Grahas are powerful in Shukla Paksha, and the Naisargika Krura Grahas are powerful in Krsna Paksha. When a Graha rules the Year, Month, Day, or Hora, he or she receives 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or 1 Rupa.
What is the formula for calculating dig Bala?
The planet Digbala is in the Kendra house of the natal chart. Sun and Mars are powerful in the 10th house under Digbala. In the Ascendant, Mercury and Jupiter are powerful. The fourth house is ruled by the Moon and Venus, whereas the seventh house is ruled by Saturn.
Dig bala is calculated using a branch of astrology known as mathematical astrology. Planets’ Dig bala increases when they are within a certain distance from Kendra, and when they pass that distance, their Dig bala drops to zero. The greatest number of planets in a bala is 60. When a planet is more over 180 degrees from its Dig bala’s Kendra, it is removed from 360 degrees, such that the planet’s score does not exceed 60.
For example, when the Sun is in the south or the tenth house, it receives a full 60 points because the Sun is at 180 degrees at that moment. However, it receives 0 points in decreasing order.
The formula is as follows: To get digbala in mathematical astrology, do the following:
The length of the planets minus the weak point of the planets equals the area of the Dig alla.
(If the distance between them exceeds 180 degrees, it is subtracted from the 360 degree total)
This mathematical approach is offered so that the Dig Bala of planets can be easily obtained.
If the Moon is at 3 degrees Taurus and its meridian point is at 17 degrees Cancer, the Moon’s Dig bala will be:
Dig bala of planets outcomes: A planet’s directional strength bestows auspicious results on the native according to its significations. The following are the expected outcomes for each planet:
Digbali (Sun) The sun will bestow upon the native fame, respect, recognition, money, and government honor.
Moon: When the Moon is in a favorable directional position, it bestows a charming personality on the local. The native will be virtuous and faithful, as well as psychologically strong. All of the Moon’s meanings will be enhanced.
Mars: Mars’ directional strength is in the tenth house, in the south, where it will propel the native to great heights in their work, giving them a forceful personality, dynamic, and the ability to confront rivals head-on. It will offer the native the ability to face any obstacles head-on with confidence.
When Jupiter is in the Lagna in the east, the native will be well educated, will be a top advisor, or will be in charge of an organization. In any horoscope, it is a fortunate position. It provides a peaceful and blissful existence for the locals. In a horoscope, Jupiter in the Lagna is supposed to erase hundreds of Doshas.
Mercury: Mercury’s strength is also found in Lagna, which makes the native brilliant, knowledgeable, witty, and hilarious. The native has a kind heart and is a master in math and computations.
The north, or fourth house, is where Venus obtains its directional strength. It bestows a good spouse and family on the native. The natives will have high-end vehicles and luxury stuff. It makes a person famous and artistic.
Saturn’s directional power comes from the west or the seventh house. Saturn is known for delaying marriage, but when it is in the seventh house, it might lead to a happy marriage. It will help a person become more organized, diligent, and responsible.
Dig bala is one of a planet’s six strengths, and determining a final prediction will necessitate a thorough examination of all horoscope elements. An skilled astrologer would be able to correctly appraise it.
