calculation of these Ishta and Kashta Phala^ we
know whether a particular planet will give more
happiness or trouble in general.
It can therefore be seen that the shadbalas of planetsj
Ishtaphala and Kashtaphala, play an important role while
giving predictions, though most of the Astrologers donot
use these due to the tedious and time consuming calculations
involved. But by giving predictions without considering
shadbala, one may lead to fallacious conclusions. Hence
it is necessary to ascertain the strength of each planet and
bhava before giving predictions.

Note :
1. Units for shadbala : Shadbala are measured in
Rupas.
One Rupa = 60 Shashliamsas
2. The iwo shadowy planets Rahu and Ketu are
excluded for Shadbala calculations.
The method of calculating each of the six strengths is given
in the following pages :
POSITIONAL STRENGTH i.e. Sthana Baia :
i) Exaltation sign
ii) own or Mooltrikona sign
iii) a friend's sign
iv) a Neutral's sign
v) an enemy's sign or
vi) Debilitation sign
(a) Uchchabala
^b) Saptavargiya bala
(c) Yugma Yugma Bala i.e. Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala
(d) Kendra Bala
(e) Drekkana Bala.
(a) UchchaBala :
This strength is maximum when the planet is at its deep
exaltation point and is assigned sixty shashtiamsas. When
. it is at its debilitation point, its strength is minimum say, a
value of zero shashtiamsa. There is gradual increase from
debilitation point to exaltation point and decrease from
exaltation point to debilitation point. The distance between
exaltation point and debilitation point is 180° on either side
of the zodiac.
This implies that the Uchchabala of a planet is due
to its distance from the debilitation'point and it gains sixty
shastiamsas in 180°. If x0 is its distance from debilitation
10
point its uehchabala = x0 x 60 -^180 = x/3 Shashtiamsas
By this we deduce the formula Uehchabala is equal
to difference between the longitudes of the Planet and its
debilitation ooint divided by three.
11
Accordingly Uchchabala is calculated for the standard,
horoscope :—

gained / lost in 12x60 = 720m so for finding out the strength
of the planets strong at mid-day divide the difference by
seven hundred and twenty and multiplying by sixty i.e.

Venus.

Now 25h30,,l(-) 6,15m = 19,125m means 19 horas have

Keeping the planets in a circle according to their
decreasing sidereal time anti clockwise we have the
following figure. Saturn has got maximum ST and the
decreasing order is Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and
Moon.

(h) Ayana Bala :
The strength of a planet being in the North or South
of the Celestial Equator is known' as Ayana Bala.
Ayana Bala depends upon declination (Kranti) of a
planet. The declination is the angular distance of a planet
from it to the foot of the perpendicular on celestial equator.
If the planet is in the north of Equator the declination
is North and word 'N' or (+) sign is written after the
degrees of declination. If it is towards south the word 'S'
or (-) sign is shown after the degrees of declination.
Sun crosses the equator twice every year. Once going
towards North from South and this point is known as
Vernal equinox or spring equinox and second time going
to South from North and this point is named "Autumnal
Equinox*. At these two Equinoctical points (spring equinox
and Autumnal equinox) the declination of Sun is zero as it
is on the equator and its distance from equator is zero.
The declination is one of the pair (declination. Right
ascension) which shows the position of a heavenly body
with respect to vernal equinox and equator.

declination should be deducted from twenty four i.e. their

end. It can also be implied that they get maximum Ayanabala,
when they are at Northern end of their path afterwards they
start moving down. Sun's Ayanabala is always doubled.

(h) Yuddhabala:
Two planets are said to be at war when the difference
between their longitudes is less than one degree. The planet
with lesser longitude wins in this war and gains some
strength while the strength of the loser is deducted by the
same amount.
Sun and Moon are two luminaries and as such any
planet in conjunction or within one degree of these two is
not at war with them.

Mean Longitudes :
Mean longitudes are the longitudes which are obtained
by considering the motion of a planet being uniform and
in a circular path instead of an elliptical one.
Epoch :
The epoch is taken at the beginning of 1st January
1900 mid-night at 760(E) {The meridian of Ujjain
considered as meridian of India by the Indian
Astronomers.}
As inner planeis (Mercury and Venus) remain nearer
to Sun, their mean longitudes will be taken as that of Sun.
It has been pointed out earlier that the superior planets
(Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) will be in the middle of their
retrograde motion when they are nearest to earth and in
opposition with the Sun.
They will be farthest to earth when they are in
conjunction with the Sun. So their sheeghrochcha will be
the same as mean longitude of the Sun.
For finding out the mean longitudes of Sun, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn and seeghrochcha of Mercury and Venus
the tables from IV and IX will be used as shown below :
Calculation :
First find out the number of days elapsed from the
epoch to the time of birth. For the standard horoscope from
the mid-night (of Ujjain) of 1st January 1900 to 1.30 AM
(1ST) on 13th September, 1981.
1981—1900 = 81 years (as the base year is 1900 and
not 1901)
43
No of days in 81 yrs = Six 365= 29565 days
Additional days for leap year = 20 days
No. of days from 1-1-81 to 12-9-81 = 255 days
No. of days from 12 mid-night of
Ujjain to 1.30 1ST* = 0.04 days
Total no. of days = 29840.04 days
From Table IV
For 20,000 days = 272.0531
9000 days = 230.4239
800 days = 68.4821
40 days = 39.4240 (10 x 4 units value)
0.04 days = 0.04 ( 0.04 x 0.98 i.e. 0.04x1)
Total 610.4231
Constant at epoch = 257.4568
867.8799 =8670.88(i1ounded)
deduct multiples of 360 and get
867.88 - 720 = 147°.88 which is mean longitude of
Sun.

OR DRIK BALA
Drishti or Aspect :
The aspected planet is always taken ahead and
aspecting one behind i.e. for calculation of Drishti Kendra
or Aspect angle the longitudes of aspecting planets are
subtracted from the aspected planets.
Normally the planets aspect the other planets most
powerfully at the position 180 degree away from it. But
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (outer planet) have special aspect
or vishesha Drishti i.e. Mars aspects the fourth and eighth
house with full Drishti while Saturn aspects the third and
tenth house with full Drishti and Jupiter aspects the fifth
and ninth house from it with full Drishti.

or Drishti value is zero.

30° to 60°. So there is an increase of 1 point for
every 2°.
(3) Increase from 15 points to 45 points is from 60°
to 90° the increase is of 30 points in 30°. In other
words for every degree the increase is 1 point.
(4) From 90° to 120° there is a decrease of 15 points
(decrease of 15 points in 30°) i.e. for every two
degrees there is a decrease of 1 point.
(5) From 120° to 150° (in 30°) there is decerease
of 30 points (30pts. to Opt.). So for every degree,
the decrease is of 1 point.
(6) From 150° to 180° (in 30°), the increase is zero
pt. to 60pts. (60 points), so for every degree, the
increase of 2 points.
(7) From 180° to 300° (in 120°) the decrease is from
60 points to 0 points (60 points) i.e. for every
two degrees the decrease is of one point.
By using the figure (II method) we can calculate the
aspect value very easily. Before proceeding to actual
calculations, the special aspect may be considered first.
(a) The special aspect of Mars are of IV house and VIII
house i.e. when the aspect angle from Mars is 90°
to 120° and 210° to 240° and value of this special
Drishti is 15 Shashtiamsas or points. The reason for
these 15 points has not been given anywhere (to my
knowledge). But it is not without rule and in my view
the rule is the IV house starts from 90° and VI]I starts
from 210° the aspect value is 45 shashtiamsas at
these aspect angles. To make it a full drishti an
addition of 60 - 45 = 1 5 shashtiamsas is to be done.
(b) The special aspect of jupiter is on V and IX houses.
When it is 120° to 150° or 240° to 270° behind the
aspectcd body and it is full = 60 shashtiamsas. The
51
aspect value at 120° and 240° behind is 30 pts and
to make it a full Drishti add 60 - 30 = 30 points
(shashtiamsas).
(c) The special aspect of saturn is on Illrd and Xth
houses i.e. from 60° to 90° and 270° to 300° of
aspect angle. The aspect value at 60° and 270° of
aspect angle is 15 points. To get full Drishti value an
addition of 60 - 15 = 45 points/shashtiamsas is to
be done.
Drishti Pinda :
The total Aspect value of all the planets considering
positive for shubhas and negative for Ashubhas, the Drishti
Pinda will be arrived at.
52
Drik Bala :
Drik bala is one fourth of the Drishti Pinda.

54
As the number of Rupas for moderate strength differ
the strength of a planet is to be divided by the minimum
required strength. If it is more than 1 the planet is strong.
If less than 1, it is weak. The strength of different planets
can be compared by this also :—

the digbala is reduced as such Rashis are away

Rashis.
(c) Chatushpada Rashis or Quadruped Rashis:-
These are Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus),
Sinha (Leo), second half of Dhanu-(Sagittarius)
and 1st half of Makar (Capricorn). If the Xth
Bhava Madhya falls in these it will get 60
shashtiamsas. The strength is reduced as it goes
away from Xth Bhava reaches near to IV Bhava.
(d) Keeta Rashis or insect sign There is only
one Rashi namely Vrischika (Scorpio) which is
Keeta Rashi. When it is in the VII Bhava
Madhya, the VII bhava acquires a strength of 60
shashtiamsas and if I Bhava Madhya falls in it,
the I Bhava will have zero digbala. The digbalas
of the Bhavas whose Bhava Madhya falls in Keeta
Rashis goes on increasing by 10 shashtiamsas per
house as it is away from I house.

(viii)Ayana Bala :
Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are strong when their
declination is 24° (N) and weak on 24° (S) declination.
It is reversed in case of Moon and Saturn. While Mercury
is strong at declineation 24':'(N) and 240(S).

6. Aspect strength (Drik bala) ;
(i) Drishti kendra or aspect angle from all the planets
are found out.
(ii) From Dristi kendra the aspect value is found out
(iii) Aspect value is positive for benefics and negative for
Malefics.
(iv) By adding / subtracting the aspect value the dristipind
is found out.
(v) Dividing the drishti pind by four, Drik bala or aspect
strength is known.
The toatal of all these six kinds of balas will give the
shadbala of a planet in shashtiamsa.
Dividing this shadbala by 60 the strength in Rupa will
be obtained.
The followinf table exhibits the minimum requirement
of the respective bala by the different planets.

(iii) Aspect -strength or Drik bala : is found out by
considering the Bhava-Madhya as a planet. In the Bhava
Bala Mercury is always Benefic. The aspect strength of
Mercury and Jupiter including their special aspect value,
is taken in full while that of other planets including their
special aspect is divided by 4. Strength of Benefic planets
is taken positive and that of malefic as negative. The total
is divided by 60 for converting the shashtiamsa into Rupa-
bala.
