In
this Chapter Manthreswara tells about Various kinds of strength of Planets, how
to assess them and the Houses( भाव ) etc.

Meaning
:- The planet’s strength is six fold. They are (1) TEMPORAL STRENGTH (कालजं),
(2) MOTIONAL (चेष्टाबलं), (3)
STRENTH DERIVED FROM BEING IN EXALTATION POINT (उच्चबलं),
(4).DIRECTIONAL STRENGTH (दिक्बलं) (5)THE STRENGTH DERIVED FROM
THE PLANET’S DECLINATION whether NORTH OR SOUTH (अयन बलं
) and (6) POSITIONAL STRENGTH (स्थान बलं).
कुज, चन्द्र,
शुक्र
( MARS, MOON, VENUS ) are strong during NIGHT., बुध ( MERCURY ) is strong during DAY AND NIGHT.
Others are strong during DAY TIME. (रवि, ज्ब्रहस्पति/गुरु,
सूर्यपुत्र/शनि)
[ SUN, JUPITER, SATURN ]
The
benefics (शुभग्रहं)
are strong during the bright half of the month (After Amaavaasya to Paurnami ),
in Tamil வளர்பிறை , and
the Malefics ( अशुभग्रहं
) are strong during the dark Half ( After Paurnami to Amaavasya ),
In Tamil தேய்பிறை.
The
Lords of the Planets for an hour gets ONE RUPA( Note :- The complete Shadbala is the sum of all Balas. Balas (STRENGTH) in
VEDIC ASTROLOGY is 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 sources (like Drekkana Bala) have only
a maximum value of 30 Virupas.)
The Planet who is the Lord
for a day gets 0.75 RUPA and and for a month gets 0.5 RUPA and for the
whole year gets 0.25 RUPA.

1. CHESHTABALA (चेष्टाबल) – MOTIONAL
STRENGTH : means the strength gained by the motion. The Moon
gets its full CHESHTAABALA during FULL MOON. The SUN gets
its motional strength during UTTHARAYANA (NORTHERN MOVEMENT OF SUN).
Note :- Friends, The
Sun has two motions called UTHTHARAAYANA ( UTHTHARA MEANS NORTH AYANA MEANS
MOTION, and DAKSHINA means SOUTH. The angular distance
of a heavenly body from the celestial equator will be either negative if the
planet is above the northern hemisphere, or positive, in case the planet is
above the southern hemisphere. This is also commonly known as a declination or
Ayana. Thus the Sun’s yearly movement is divided into two parts, called
Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. The earth's equator is tilted 23.45 degrees with
respect to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, so at various times
during the year, as the earth orbits the sun, declination varies from 23.45
degrees north to 23.45 degrees south. This gives rise to the seasons. Around
December 21, the northern hemisphere of the earth is tilted 23.45 degrees away
from the sun, which is the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere and the
summer solstice for the southern hemisphere. Around June 21, the southern
hemisphere is tilted 23.45 degrees away from the sun, which is the summer
solstice for the northern hemisphere and winter solstice for the southern
hemisphere. On March 21 and September 21 are the fall and spring equinoxes when
the sun is passing directly over the equator. Note that the tropics of cancer
and capricorn mark the maximum declination of the sun in each hemisphere. Each
Ayana has three seasons.
For the purpose of Laymen in Astrology: Uttarāyana
(उत्तरायन) is the six month period between Makara Sankranti around
(January 14) and Karkataka Sankranti around (July 14), when the Sun travels
towards north on the celestial sphere. The period from July 14 to January 14 is
known is Dakshināyana (दक्षिणायन). The starting of
Uttarayana is celebrated as Makara Sankranti throughout India, which is
declared as National festival by Government of India. Makara Snkanthi Darshana
in SHABARI MALAI is very famous.
All other planets get it during their वक्रगति.(RETROGRADE MOTION).
During planetary war when the planets who are positioned in the north and
those with dazzling rays are to be treated as victorious.
All planets gain their complete
strength (UCHCHABALA) – during their highest
exaltation points.
Regarding
Directional Strength (दिक्बल) DIK BALA
The planets gains full Dikbala in the following houses:
1st (Lagna Bhava) - Jupiter and Mercury (Ethery and Earthy element)
10th (Karma Bhava) - Sun and Mars (Fiery element)
4th (Sukha Bhava) - Venus and Moon (Watery element)
7th (JayaBhava) - Saturn (Airy element)
When the planets are placed away from the bhava where they get the full dik bala, there strength is proportionately reduced. The maximum strength attained here is 60 virupa or 1 rupa. To compute the dikbala find the angular distance of the planet and the 7th of bhava where they get the full dik bala. If the angular distance is more than 180 then, subtract it from 360. The result when divided by 3, gives the dikbala of the planets. The longitude of the bhava is same as the Lagna cusp as per the equal house distribution.

AYANA
BALAM - अयन बल
: BUDHA, CHANDRA and SANI (MERCURY, MOON AND SATURN) are strong when they are
in southerly course , and other planets have strength when in northerly course.

The
Strength accruing in Shadbalas (षड बल)
i.e. RAASI. HORA, DREKKANA, NAVAMSA,
DWADASAMSA AND THRIMSAMSA are to be considered from Whether it is in केन्द्र (QUADRANT or
ANGLE) , In पणपर
(Succeedent House), and आपोक्लिम (Succeedent House) Friends, We may call APOKLIMA AS Cadent House also.
The Fixed, Succedent or Panapara Houses (2, 5, 8, 11). The Mutable, Cadent or Apoklima Houses (3,6, 9, 12) . Upachaya Houses - 3, 6, 10, 11.
The Fixed, Succedent or Panapara Houses (2, 5, 8, 11). The Mutable, Cadent or Apoklima Houses (3,6, 9, 12) . Upachaya Houses - 3, 6, 10, 11.
A planet gets one Rupa of Strength when in KENDRA (1,4,7, 10)is 1, ½ RUPA when in PANAPARA (2,5,8,11) and 0.25 or
¼ Rupa when in APOKLIMA. ( 3,6,12) 9 is omitted because it is a TRIKONA –TRINE.
Generally LAGNA STHANA in a Horoscope is marked with a line from 4 to 2
Clockwise. Some Astrologers write Lagna also.
Definition of Hermaphrodite: Compounded of both sexes. Derived from the names of the God Hermes
or Mercury, and the Goddess Aphrodite, or Venus. The combination of the two
influences, Art and Science, in the mind of man constitutes the true human, in
whom the emotional and rational powers are presumed to be in perfect balance.
Astrology under this appellation speaks of a higher order of intellect,
combining masculine and feminine qualities or propensities, yet with no
inference of bisexual functioning. The term is sometimes applied to Mercury,
because of its dual and changeable nature. Masculine
Planets are SUN, JUPITER AND MARS., HERMAPHRODITE Planets(Half man and Half Woman)
are SATURN AND MERCURY (अर्धनारी), FEMALE Planets are MOON and VENUS
शनि, बुध (SATURN, AND MERCURY) are strong in the middle ., THE SUN,
JUPITER and MARS ie. रवि, गुरु, कुज are strong in the first portion and MOON and VENUS ie. चन्द्र,
शुक्र are strong in the concluding portion of a SIGN
(राशि). SATURN (शनि),
MARS (कुज), MERCURY (बुध), JUPITER (गुरु),
VENUS (शुक्र), MOON (चन्द्र), and SUN (रवि)
have their NATURAL STRENGTH (नैसर्गिक
बल). It means that RAVI is stronger than CHANDRA who is stronger than SHUKRA and
who is stronger than GURU who is stronger than BUDHA who is stronger than KUJA
and the least strong planet in this order is SANI.

A Retrograde (वक्रं) planet will have its full strength even if it is in debilitated NAVAAMSA.
This is because it is retrograde and hence his rays are full and brilliant even
if it is in an inimical sign or Amsa.
If a Planet is very near to the SUN(रवि), its rays will be eclipsed by the rays of the SUN, and
like MOON the planet will be considered as weak even if it is positioned in its
sign of exaltation or friend’s sign or even in Navamsa.

Herein Manthreswara says that all planets have their full strength when
they are exalted, provided it is away from the Sun. The Moon is strong and
auspicious wnen it is bright half depending on its Sthana or placement i.e
Thithis like Sapthami, Ashtami etc.
Paksha Bala is related to Lunar phase at the time
of birth. Benefics get high Pakasha Bala near Full Moon, low Bala near New
Moon. Reverse for malefics.
Calculation
Paksha Bala in Virupas depends on the angle between
Moon and Sun. The formula is
pakshabala = ( moon - sun ) / 3
The Bala must be deducted from 120 if the
value exceeds 60.
This method yields a small value if birth
takes place near New Moon (irrespective of placement before/after New Moon).
Birth near Full Moon will result in high Paksha Bala (~60). Birth near Half
Moon will have 30 Virupas.
This method is extended to all planets in
Paksha Bala. Benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus) get Paksha Bala Virupas according
to this method.
The method of calculation is reverse for
malefics (Sun, Mars, Saturn) i. e. the value must be deducted from 60.
The Moon is benefic if birth takes place
in the bright half of the month, i.e. birth is between New Moon and Full Moon.
Reversely Moon is malefic for birth in the dark half of the month (between Full
Moon and New Moon).
Mercury is regarded as malefic if
conjunct with a malefic, benefic otherwise.
RAVI (SUN) gets his full DIK BALA when it occupies the 10th
House. The Five Non-Luminous planets are strong in retrograde position i.e when
they travel backward.
RAHU (Dragon’s Head) is strong in Karkkataka, Vrushabha, Mesha, Kumbha
and Vrischika, KETHU ( Dragon’s Tail )
is strong when positioned in Meena, Kanya, Vrushabha, and later half of Dhanus.
To know the basics I request all those who are not
familiar with certain basic words to
study BRIHAT PARASARAHORA SHAASTRA or any other books having the basic words of
astrology, since hereafter I may not be able to give those meanings or
definition , here in since this is becoming very lengthy.
They are also Strong in PARIVESHA (परिवेष) Indra Chapa ( इन्द्रचाप) .
परिवेष is व्यथिपात + 180 Degrees and इन्द्रचाप is परिवेष – 55 Deg. 20 mts.

The first Bhaava in biped sign (ഇരുകാലികള്) gets one RUPA of strength
, in VRISCHIKA the strength is 0.25., and in other signs it is 0.5. the
Strength of ascendant is the same as of the lord of the sign and becomes powerful when the Lord occupies 3rd
6th 10th or 11th house i.e. ( Oopachchaaya),
occupies the Lord’s House or aspected by it (दृष्टी),
or Budha or Guru. However it
should not be in conjunction with or aspected by any other planet.
Please note that the Day
signs are stronger if the birth is during Day time and the Night Rasis are
stronger if the birth takes place during Night.

A planet gets its full strength of one RUPA if it
is positioned in its exaltation (स्थान बल) and in its position similar to those of Exaltation i.e मूलत्रिकोण it gets 0.75 of RUPA, and in its
own sign
(स्वक्षेत्र) gets 0.5 RUPA and in its friend’s house gets 0.25 Rupa. In an enemy’s House he gets little strength whiich is negligible and
when is in the sign of depression or compressed i.e. eclipsed by the Sun’s Rays it gets no strength.

Herein, Manthreswara explains the स्थानबल ( Positional Strength ) when a planet is in all the FOUR QUADRANTS (
Angles ) i.e. 1st ,4th , 7th , and 10th
Houses. In the First House i.e. the Ascendant the planet gets its full
strength, in the 7th House it gets 0.75. in the 10th
House 0.5 and in the 4th House it gets 0.25 Strength.

The aspect of the seventh house the only one which
is effective in all cases. However some PUNDITS
are of the opinion that the Saturn (शनि), Jupiter (गुरु) and Mars (कुज) to 3rd and 10th , 5th and 9th
, 4th and 8th respectively are also equally produce
effects in all the YOGAS and the like.

The NATURAL FRIENDSHIP , or ENMITY ( नैसर्गिक
मित्रत्वं अथवा शत्रुत्वं ) of any planet is fully effective
and preferable to their temporal ( तात्कालिक मित्रत्वं अथवा शत्रुत्वम ), since the latter is only temporary
and hence variable.

Jupiter (गुरु) is most
powerful than other planets in warding off evils and to promote prosperity than
other planets. However Venus ( शुक्र ) and Mercury (बुध) have 0.5 and 0.25 strength respectively.
Friends , I
request one and all who want to learn astrology to learn the basics thoroughly
so that you can become a true PREDICTIVE astrologer.
