Ch.4 Shl.36 TEMPORAL AND MOTIONAL STRENGTHS: The Sun, Jupiter and Venus acquire
strength during day time while Saturn, the Moon and Mars become strong during ni
ght time. Mercury acquires vigour at all times. The Hora bala goes to Hora lord,
masa bala (masa = month) to the lord of the month. Dma bala to the lord of the
week day of birth and Abda (year) bala is credited to the lord of the year of bi
rth. Malefics get strength in Dark Half while benefics become strong in Bright H
alf. The planet that is victorious in war, that is in its retrograde motion, or
that is not combust become strong. The luminaries get strength in northern cours
e. This is how Satyacharya detailed motional strength.
Ch.5 Shi. 14 RETROGRESSION IN EXALTATION: If a planet is retrograde while in exa
ltation, it produces no effect (i.e. nothing good will happen). This is the view
held by some. Even if it is in exaltation by its entry in retrograde motion fro
m the next sign, (for example, Jupiter entering Cancer from Leo), the
effect is same, for it takes unduly long time in such traversion.
