Classical Vedic methodology · Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Ch. XXVII

Shadbala — literally “six-fold strength” — is the classical Vedic system for measuring how reliably a planet can deliver its results. It was codified in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) Chapter XXVII and is the foundation for almost every quantitative judgment in serious Vedic astrology.

The six components of Shadbala

BPHSによると、各グラハの総強度は以下のものの合計です:

1. Sthana Bala — positional strength (exaltation, multi-varga dignity, odd/even sign, angular placement, decanate)
2. Dig Bala — directional strength (each planet has a preferred direction: Sun & Mars in 10th, Jupiter & Mercury in 1st, Moon & Venus in 4th, Saturn in 7th)
3. Kala Bala — temporal strength (day/night birth, lunar half, year/month/day/hour lordships)
4. Cheshta Bala — motional strength (apparent speed; retrograde planets gain in this component)
5. Naisargika Bala — intrinsic natural strength (a fixed value per planet: Sun strongest, Saturn weakest)
6. Drik Bala — aspectual strength (net effect of benefic vs. malefic aspects falling on the planet)

The total is reported in rupas、古典的な強度の単位。

The classical thresholds

BPHSは惑星ごとに異なる最低閾値を定めています。なぜなら、それぞれの惑星には異なる自然なナイサルジカ基準線があるからです。標準的な閾値(ルパ単位)は以下の通りです:

• Sun: 5.0
• Moon: 6.0
• Mars: 5.0
• Mercury: 7.0
• Jupiter: 8.5
• Venus: 5.5
• Saturn: 5.0

A planet’s “ratio” in AstroPal’s output is its computed Shadbala divided by this classical threshold. A ratio ≥ 1.0 means the planet meets the BPHS bar; below 1.0 it does not.

What strength actually does

BPHS and Phaladeepika both treat a planet at or above threshold as a reliable “trustee” of its significations — the karakatva (significations) of that planet will manifest cleanly during its own Vimshottari dasha or antardasha. A weak planet still rules the same houses and signs, but the results come delayed, with friction, or only when activated by a supporting transit or sub-period.

閾値以上にある強い吉星(木星、金星、月)は、その古典的な象徴である知恵、パートナーシップ、感情の安定を最も確実に伝える存在です。強い凶星(土星、火星、太陽)は、構造、エネルギー、権威といった規律ある結果をもたらしますが、古典的なテキストが弱い凶星に伴う破壊的な鋭さはありません。

Why Rahu and Ketu aren’t in the Shadbala list

The classical six-fold Shadbala system applies to the seven traditional grahas (Sun through Saturn). Rahu and Ketu — the lunar nodes, treated as “shadow grahas” in Jyotish — are evaluated through different frameworks: house placement, nakshatra dispositorship, and their dasha periods. BPHS uses a separate set of rules for them.

What this means for your reading

上記の古典的な閾値は普遍的であり、あなたのチャートの特定のシャドバラ分布は一意です。AstroPalのエンジンは7つの格ラハそれぞれの6つの成分すべてを計算し、合計し、古典的な閾値で割り、惑星をランク付けします。チャートページには表が表示され、AstroPalのチャットではランニングダシャの強さをタイミング質問に取り入れています。
