我的星盘中哪些行星在沙德巴拉手中最强？

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

根据BPHS，每个graha的总强度为：

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，经典的力量单位。

The classical thresholds

BPHS为每个行星设定了不同的最低阈值，因为每个行星都有不同的自然奈萨吉卡基线。规范阈值（单位为rupas）为：

• 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.

处于或超过阈值的强吉星（木星、金星、月亮）是最可靠的经典象征——智慧、伴侣、情绪稳定的传递者。强凶星（土星、火星、太阳）传递其有纪律的结果——结构、能量、权威——没有古典文献中弱凶星所描述的破坏性锋芒。

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

上述经典阈值是通用的;你的图表中特定的Shadbala分布是唯一的。AstroPal的引擎计算了七个格拉哈的全部六个分量，加以，除以经典阈值，并对行星进行排名。图表页面显示了表格，AstroPal的聊天将跑步达沙的力量融入每个计时问题中。
