    Shad Bala

    Shadbala is a powerful source for calculation of planetary strength. It is descr


    ibed in chapter 27 of Hora Shastra. Shadbala consists of 6 different sources of
    strength. Each source represents an aspect of strength, such as planetary placem
    ent in zodiacal signs or aspectual strength.
    Signification
    Planetary strength is important for chart prediction. Strong planets will have a
    uspicious effects during their time of influence (Dasas, transits). Weak planets
    will have inauspicious effects.
    Strength of Rasi resp. Bhava lords is another important aspect of the chart. Bha
    vas will have effects according to their strength and the strength of their lord
    s.
    Some sources of strength give hints for special purposes: e.g. Digbala gives inf
    ormations about directions having positive or negative effects.
    Calculation
    The complete Shadbala is the sum of all Balas. Balas are calculated in Rupas or
    Virupas. One Rupa has 60 Virupas. Most sources of strength have values between 0
    Virupas (very weak) and maximum value of 60 Virupas (very strong). Other source
    s (like Drekkana Bala) have only a maximum value of 30 Virupas.
    Parasara gives required values of strength for each planet. Planets meeting thes
    e requirements are considered to be strong. These planets will have favourable e
    ffects. Planets without strength will prove inauspicious.
