(4) Motional strength of planet in the kundli or horoscope is Cheshtha bala.
(5) Natural strength of planet in the kundli or horoscope is Naisargik bala.
(6) aspectual strength of planet in the kundli or horoscope is Drika bala.

This is a very detailed and precise method to know the strength and weaknesses of any planet in kundli or horoscope.
 so 6 various kinds of strength as given above. 
 They  give a very good idea of how the planet would function in any kundli or horoscope.
It defines what a planet can do for any one in any horoscope.
so is the good and bad result defined by the shadabala of the planet.

 what is kaal bala or Temporal bala ?
Now based on time of birth in terms of hour, or pakhsa the 15 days cycle or 6-month cycle of Ayana various strengths are given to any planet. they are categorized as .
(1)Nataunnata Bala
(2)Paksha Bala
(3)Tribhaga Bala
(4)Varsh-maas-din-hora bala
(5)Aayan Bala
(6)Yudha Bala
(7)Cheshta Bala or Motional strength

what is Naisargik Bala or Natural strength for any planet   ?
Now every planet gets some strength or shastiamsha based on the luminosity of the planet.
 so sun the centre of solar system gets maximum points here and Saturn is considered to be darker planet or less luminosity gets lesser.

what is Drik Bala or Aspectual strength?  
Drik Bala here means the benefic or malefic aspect so planets on the specific planet . 
so over all positive and negative energy is summarized for the planet. so depending on the degree of the planet the aspect is full, partial, or null aspect.

 what is Shadabala Pinda ?
The shadabala is the combined strength of planets. this is attained by addition of all 6 balas or strengths.
Like one can  add the Sthana Bala, Dig Bala, Kaala Bala, Cheshta Bala, Naisargik Bala and Drik Bala to get the full shadabala.so this is the final strength of nay planet .

 what is Vimshopaka Bala ? 
This strength is ascertained based on placement of planet in various varga or divisional charts.
so one looks at shad varga, the spata  varga and dasha varga and also  the sodas varga charts.
The total set of core Parashar divisional charts are 16 in number. The overall auspiciousness or being in auspicious is measured based on these 16 charts a well.


 Now the 6 ways of measuring or shadabala also applies to the shadow planets like rahu and ketu or dragon’s head and dragon’s tail.
But to calculate the strength of the same separate methods are used.
rahu or dragon’s head is number 4 and close to Saturn number 8 so its strength is taken as of Saturn.
Ketu or dragon’s tail is number 7 and similar to mars or mangal in suddenness and aggression so is taken to be equal to strength a mars or mangal.

The overall strength of planets is also divided in terms of i) degrees and ii) avasthas.
In fact the Jaimini system of Vedic astrology deals more with degrees for planets.
The highest degree planet is taken to be as atma karaka planet or that is the soul of the horoscope and has higher influence on the individual.
so and so forth there are planets for wife or karaka the 3rd highest degree planet for wife and amatya karaka for the 2nd highest or the intelligence. this way degrees play a role in defining the significance and strength of planets.
So is avastha or state of the planet. It depends on zodiac sign it occupies and also degrees.
 The avasthas  are divided into 5 parts and there is a formula for it decide the avastha of the planet depending on the degrees the planet has form 0 to 30 degrees.

The degrees in planet are like the Baladi Avasthas. so like planet is a child or in balyavastha is from 0 to 5 degrees it has in any sign.

Isht and Kasht Balas 
What is the impact of Planets in Dasha’s?  The benefic and malefic inclinations of the planets or Grahas in the kundli or horoscope are taken, considering which the Dasha impacts can be chosen.

How do you decide that the planet has bright rays 🙂 for you? Benefic  In the horoscope or kundli under consideration  Deduct the planets or grahas  debility  point from its real position. 
 On the off chance that the entirety surpasses 6 rashis or sun signs, deduct from 12 rashis. 
The said entirety ought to then be expanded by 1 rashi. The degrees and so on be increased by 2, which, when considered alongside rashis , will demonstrate the Uchch Rasmi(benefic rays) of the planet or Grah.

How to calculate the chestha Rashmi’s is given below Chesht Rasmi. 
IN the horoscope or Kundli(Birth Chart)Chesht Rasmi’s are to be figured from Chesht Kendra like Uchch Rasmi calculations.
 The Chesht Kendra’s of Grahas from Mars(Mangal) to Saturn(Shani) have as of now been clarified.

       Calculations for Chestha Rashmi 
Add 3 rashis or sun signs  to Sayan sun or surya (i.e. with ayanamsa), which will be the Chesht Kendra for sun or surya. 
The sidereal longitude of sun(surya) ought to be deducted from Chandra  or moon to get Chandra’s   Chesht Kendra.
In the event that the Chesht Kendra (for any Graha) is in overabundance of 6 rashis, deduct it from 12 rashis. 
Include 1 rashi and duplicate the degrees and so forth by 2, which will demonstrate the Chesht Rasmi of the Graha(planets) in any horoscope or kundli.

How to calculate the Benefic and Malefic Rays?.
 In the horoscope or Kundli(Birth chart)Include the Uchch Rasmis(benefic rays) and Chesht Rasmis together and separate by two. 
The outcome will be promising beams  or (Subh Rasmis). Deduct from 8 the Subh Rasmis to acquire foreboding beams (Ashubh Rasmis or malefic rays).

What are Isht and Kasht Tendencies in any Horoscope?.  In the horoscope or Kundli  Diminish 1 from each of Chesht Rasmi and Uchch Rasmi. At that point increase the items by 10 and include. 
Half of the aggregate will speak to the Isht Phala (benefic propensity) of the planet or Grah. Decrease Isht Phala from 60 to get the Grah’s Kasht Phala (malefic propensity).
What is the Isht and Kasht and Sapt Varg Phal in  any horoscope?. 
As per Vedic  astrology or Hindu astrology horoscope or Kundli(Birth Chart) 60, 45, 30, 22, 15, 8, 4, 2 and 0 are the Subhankas (Subha Griha Pankthis, benefic focuses). 
 depending on the planet  Grah’s situation in any Kundli or horoscope, separately, in commendation, Mooltrikona rashi or sign, possess, incredible friend’s, friend’s, nonpartisan, enemy’s, extraordinary adversary’s and incapacitate rashi. 
 On the off chance that Subhanka is deducted from 60, Asubhanka (Asubh Pankthi, unpropitious focuses) will develop. in different Vargas  or divisional charts these are split.
A planet or Graha in Horoscope or Kundli is viewed as promising in the initial five of the said places. 
 In the 6th place it is unbiased, i.e. neither great nor awful. Furthermore, in the other three spots it is ominous.

What is the Nature of Effects, because of Dig Bal and so forth?.

 Deducting those figures from 60, the degree of foreboding is known. In the event that promise is more on account of a planets or Grah’s quality, the Dasha(directions) and Bhavas(Houses). 
 It is  identified with that Grah will be favourable. These are banter if foreboding is overwhelming.



what is The Value of Avasthas or state of planets  in Vedic Astrology? 
we know that when one is adolescent or in youthful state he or she is strongest. the same applies to planets.
 so bala vastha and Kumara avastha is the strongest state.
The vridhavastha and mritavastha gets the weakest state and the energy of the planet is the least.
so planet in maturity or youthful ness and slightly in middle age or before being too old it is strongest.;)so in this state the maximum energy gets delivered to the horoscope or Kundli

The various states or avasthas of the planets for odd signs are given below.
Bal Avastha or this is the child or  Infant State at 0 to 6 degrees
next comes the age of adolescence of Kumara Avastha or Youthful State at 6 to 12 degrees
Then next in the cycle is Youth or Yuva Avastha or Adolescent State at 12 to 18 degrees
 then comes the middle age and old age – Vriddha Avastha or Mature State at 18 to 24 degrees
Then comes the super old age and end , that is Mrit Avastha or Old/Dead State at 24 to 30 degrees
The order or the sequence of  the Avasthas or state of planets  is reversed in case of even signs like Taurus, cancer, Virgo etc.

These Industries get energy form house of career and fortune; we know India has been an agricultural products dominated country. The bhava Drishti bala is 45.57, which is average.
The fourth house or bhava shares  the energy  of the house  of accumulation of wealth the second  house mercury or budha  and the Saturn or Shani lord of house of career(job). 
and luck/fortune( the ninth House) and also Venus or shukra the house of debts and losses and also self-esteem. India connects its self-esteem with agriculture and yes housing as well.
The planet sun on surya shares a close energy with planet Saturn or Shani. 
So that means India could be a world leader in agricultural products, Care industry and luxury industry someday.
It also indicates that as Saturn is close to fourth house- whenever Saturn is weak- it could adversely affect the overall revenues of India. 
 and also affect the property dealing or construction Industry severely. As Home Industry would depend on Venus as well.
We know as Saturn or Shani  was weak in Scorpio  sign or Vrishchika rashi with mars in 2016 , the property and land market hit a record low, it is bound to grow in 2017.
