Bhva (Sanskrit: bhva,’state, condition’) is a term used in Jyotisha to describe a fixed zodiacal division of the sky as seen from the observer’s perspective. In Western astrology, it corresponds to the concept of “home.” Bhvachakra (Sanskrit: chakra, ‘wheel’) is the name given to a natal chart.

What is the formula for calculating Bala?
Examine the planet’s position in relation to its debilitation point. The angle can range from 0 to 180 degrees. To get the Uccha bala in Virupas, multiply this figure by three.
What does an excellent Sthana Bala look like?
This is the third in a series of posts about the Shad-bala. These six types of strength are spashta-bala, or diverse strengths with different meanings, for each graha.
- In this post, I discussed the Drig Bala. Drig Bala tells you whether you’ll be able to undertake activities associated to a planet and the parts of life that he regulates with ease or whether you’ll encounter roadblocks.
- In this post, I discuss the Ishta and Kashta phalas. These numbers indicate whether the aspects of a graha will be fortunate or inauspicious for you in the long term.
This is strength owing to the graha’s position in the zodiac, i.e. the Sthan. If he is well-positioned, his results will be even better. We’re talking about the power of the outcome right now. The sthan-bala of the associated planet will determine how forcefully an event will occur in your life. Graha is not a ‘planet’ in the traditional sense; rather, it is a force (post here).
- Sthan bala, for example, can inform you whether you’ll be able to study till you graduate or pursue a PhD. It will not inform you if this education will benefit you in any way, such as ensuring that you acquire a good job, which is related to the Ishta phala. And to see how easy this PhD will be for you is to be observed from the planet’s Drig Bala.
The Sthan bala is related to how forcefully you express yourself or take a stand in the aspects of life influenced by a planet. The Sthan Bala is the strength with which you’sit’ in a place.
- For example, someone who is severe at work yet can’t take a stand in front of his spouse. In the sthan-bala, the graha responsible for his vocation will be exceedingly powerful. In addition, the planet in charge of the spouse will have a low sthan-bala.
Sthana Bala is divided into five sub-components, each of which is tied to the position of the planet in the birth or divisional charts. Briefly,
- Bala Uccha What is the distance between this planet and its apogee? He gains more power the closer he gets to this stage.
- Saptavargaja Balathis refers to the graha’s strength as a result of its placement in the sapta-varga divisional charts.
- Ojhajugmariamsa The placement of the graha in the odd/even signs in the birth chart and the navamsha/D9 chart gives the graha its strength.
- The planets’ positions in the Kendra 1 4 7 10, Panaphara 2 5 8 11 or Apoklima 3 6 9 12 houses in the birth chart are known as Kendradi Balathe. The Kendras have the strongest planets, while the Apoklima houses have the weakest.
- Drekkana Balances the planets’ strengths based on their placement in the D3 divisional chart.
The Sthan Bala is now the first row in our example chart. Crowley’s Mercury was the most powerful, followed by Venus and Jupiter. These three have extremely high values, totaling more than 200 points. Then there’s Mars, which is roughly 200 points strong. The Moon is next, while the Sun has the fewest points. The obvious conclusion is that he must have felt at ease expressing the planets’ energies in this arrangement. He must have been adamant about the aspects of his life that Mercury influenced. For example, he designed the Thoth deck, which is another name for Mercury. His quest for esoteric understanding and practices took him all around the world. As seen by all of the novels he wrote, he also had a number of internal issues (post on Crowley here).
Now, take a look at the figures on your Shad-bala table. (You’ll need a free program like Jagannath Hora, a commercial program like Parashar Light, or any other program that can calculate these values.)
- Examine the globe with the most powerful Sthan Bala. This planet has a constant influence on you. This planet will be more beneficial in life if it is your ascendant lord (post here) or the lord of your Moon sign. You’re most at ease when you’re expressing this enthusiasm. Similarly, situations in your environment that resonate with this energy can make you feel more at ease.
- Planets with more than 200 points are deemed to have excellent Sthan bala, and these are your assets. The range of 150-200 is also fairly nice. Any lower than that, you’ll have to deal with them consciously.
- The graha with the lowest sthan-bala will therefore show areas in your life where you lack confidence and make mistakes. You might wish to examine your actions critically and consciously try to improve yourself if necessary.
Let’s look at how planets with a greater sthan bala will affect you presently.
If your Sun is at its highest point in Sthana Bala, you will certainly employ the Sun’s terms more frequently. In the residences and signs he controls, you will naturally express yourself the greatest. Here, you’ll be self-assured, assertive, creative, inspired, radiant, and a leader, among other qualities. Intelligent, assertive, and with a get-it-done attitude. You don’t think twice about doing something once you’ve decided to do it. Then there’s the possibility of a usual solar energy overdose. So, try to pay attention to your well-wishers and avoid stomping on your loved ones. Analyze him and the homes he influences; if you employ them correctly, they can offer you a huge boost in life.
Assume the Sun is exalted in Aries and in your fourth house.
What are the different types of Bhava?
Bhavasattvic, rajasic, and tamasic are the three types of bhavasattvic, according to Swami Sivananda. Which bhava dominates in a person is determined by their individual nature, but sattvic bhava is Divine bhava or pure bhava (Suddha bhava). Swami Nikhilananda divides bhava into four categories:
- ntabhva is the attitude of calmness, tranquility, gentleness, or saintliness.
- dsyabhva, devotional attitude
- sakhyabhva, a friend’s attitude
- vtsalyabhva, a mother’s attitude toward her child
- madhurabhva (or kantabhava), a woman’s love attitude
- The attitude that the Lord is present everywhere, tanmayabhava
What is Bhava Lagna, and what does it mean?
The first house is called by several different names in Indian astrology.
Lagana bhava, kendra bhava, and trikon bhava are all names for this dwelling. The Lagna Bhava represents the horoscope’s strength, and it holds a lot of weight when compared to the other houses. If Badhkesh Planet affects a person’s Lagna or Lagnesh, the person’s health will suffer. Any excessive planet in the Lagna Bhava has an impact on normal development and marriage.
The longer a person lives, the more helpful the rising Lagna is.
This yoga assists the individual in achieving happiness and respect, as well as being surrounded by positive surroundings.
Aside from that, if the Lagna aspects Lagnesh, the person is the wealthiest of the wealthy. This individual acts like a blood lamp.
What are the characteristics of Ascendant’s House
If the Lagna Bhava is present in the horoscope, it depicts the person. Health, longevity, happiness, physical texture, character, height, nature, physical constitution, innate temperament, knowledge, joy, status, nature, self-esteem, personality, radiance, activeness, success with efforts, failure, natural qualities of the person, person with questions, fame, the beginning of life, childhood, children, age, environment, physical body are some of the characteristics of this bhava.
What are the Karaka things of First House
The sun in the first house promotes health and happiness. The individual is active and has a long life expectancy. The moon is the karaka of the body in this house. Mars is the karaka of the skull and brain in the first house.
Ascendant’s House is the Karak House of which body parts.
The house of the ascendants is used to examine the head, neck, bladder, hair, skin, and upper region of the face. The first house is employed for the results of the head, neck, and basti parts of the body, according to the aspects degree.
When does Ascendant’s House is strong.
It is powerful when benefic planets sit in Lagna Bhava, or when Lagna Bhav faces benign planets, or when Lagna Bhav is between benefic planets, or when Lagnesh can see Lagna Bhava. If any of these yogas are present in the horoscope, the first house is thought to be powerful.
When does Ascendant’s House is weak
The Lagna Bhava is weak when it is caught between Malefic Planets. If malefic planets sit in Lagna Bhava or glance at Lagna Bhava, or if a person is born in an unlucky Navansh or drehsthakon. Lagna Bhava is considered a victim in any of the aforementioned conditions.
When does Lagnesh is strong
When the Lagna is in its own sign, it is considered powerful. If Lagnesh is conjunct a friendly planet, or if Lagnesh is in the eleventh house, it becomes even more powerful. If Lagnesh is between benefic planets, in aspect with benefic planets, or in exalted sign, or if its friendly planet is in navansha, in aspect with friendly planet, or conjucts benefic planets, or is in the sign of friendly planet, or if it is in Lagnesh kendra or Trikon Bhava, Lagna Bhava is strengthened.
When does Lagnesh is weaker
Lagnesh is deemed weaker when it is present in enemy planet, conjucts malefic planets, or is in third, sixth, eighth, or twelfth house, located between malefic planets, or sets in debilitated sign, or its adversary is in navansh or in aspect.
What exactly is Sada Bala?
A graha can gain power by being positioned in a specific Rasi, Bhava, Varga, Day or Night time, Shukla or Krsna paksha, being Vakri or triumphant in Graha Yuddha, and so on. Shadbala is a mathematical model that can be used to calculate the strength gained from six different sources. To fully comprehend the true impact of various occupations, aspects, and yogas in a horoscope, one must have a solid idea of the grahas’ power. Without it, one’s analysis may be deceptive.
27.3738 BPHS The many sources of strengths should be gathered and impacts disclosed, O Brahmin. Whatever Yogas or effects have been stated in relation to a Bhava will pass through the most powerful Graha.
4.34 Saravali The directional, positional, temporal, and motional strengths of a Graha are vital in determining its auspicious and inauspicious effects, as they are deemed feeble without them.
There are six different sources of grahas’ strength, which incorporates all of them. In the Brhat Parashari Hora Shastras, a detailed appraisal of the strength is given, along with considerable mathematical analysis. Unless one has a lot of time to spare, it is preferable to construct a mental model to rapidly estimate the strength of the grahas rather than diving into thorough computation. This isn’t meant to discourage computation; rather, it’s meant to help people grasp the sources of strength so they may investigate the important aspects and quickly analyze them.
The following are the six sources of strength:
- Sthanabala: This is where the strengths that arise from various types of placements in Rasi and Vargas are categorised. (1) Uccha, (2) Saptavargaja, (3) Ojayugma, (4) Kendradi, and (5) Drekkana are the five sub-components.
- Dikbala: The power derived from placement in specific Kendras, which is determined by the Tattva that governs the grahas and Kendras.
- Kalabala: The power that arises from the moment of birth or the occurrence of an event. Paksha, (2) Abdamasadinahora, (3) Ayana, (4) Natonnata, (5) Tribhaga, and (6) Yuddha are the six sub-components.
- Chestabala: The power derived through movement, whether rapid or slow, forward or backward.
- Naisargika: The strength that arises from the grahas’ natural strengths and weaknesses.
- Drgbala: The power derived from aspects of the shubha and papa grahas. The sources of strength are the shubha grahas, while the origins of weakness are the papa-grahas.
The six sources of power, according to Mantresvara, are similar to Maharishi Parashara’s teachings, but he suggests some differences. Drgbala was removed from the Sthanabala and Ucchabala was split from the Sthanabala. Mantresvara’s opinion, in my humble opinion, is misleading, because Ucchabala is obtained from a Graha’s occupation in numerous Ris calculated from the Uccha sphuta. As a result, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be part of the Sthanabala. Drgbala also adds 1 rupa of strength that isn’t included in Mantresvara’s calculation, which isn’t correct.
Phaladeepika 4.1: A Graha’s strength is supposed to be sixfold, and they are listed in this order: (1) Kalaja, (2) Cheshta, (3) Ucchaja, (4) Dik, (5) Ayana, and (6) Sthana are the names of the animals. Mangal, Chandra, and Shukra are powerful at night. Budha is a powerful being at all times. During the day, the rest are really strong. The Naisargika Shubha Grahas are powerful in Shukla Paksha, and the Naisargika Krura Grahas are powerful in Krsna Paksha. When a Graha rules the Year, Month, Day, or Hora, he or she receives 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or 1 Rupa.
- Vakra is a Sanskrit word that (retrogression)
- Anuvakra is a Sanskrit word that means ” (entering the previous sign in retrograde motion)
- Mand (movement is a little slower than usual)
- Mandatar is a term used to describe a (slower than the previous)
- Sama is a character in the film Sama (neither fast nor slow)
The virupas allotted as a result of these 8 motions are 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45, and 30.
The Shad Bal Pindas are 390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330, and 300 Virupas, which are required for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn to be deemed powerful. The Grah is considered very strong if its strength exceeds the above-mentioned parameters. A powerful graha will safeguard its dwellings and karakakatva, and will be more capable of producing outcomes. The nature of the consequences, however, will be modified by the planet’s ownership, positions, and yogas. However, knowing the strength of each of the shadbala’s elements, as well as the precise nature of the output, is critical.
Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun are powerful if their Sthana Bala, Dig Bala, Kaala Bala, Cheshta Bala, and Ayana Balas are 165, 35, 50, 112, and 30 Virupas, respectively. 133, 50, 30, 100, and 40 are the same as for Moon and Venus. These are 96, 30, 40, 67, and 20 for Mars and Saturn, respectively.
The shadbala’s individual elements depict various facets of our lives. The following are the details:
1. Sthana Bala: This planet bestows power and prestige. This also reveals which positions are best for us and where we will feel most at ease.
2. Dig Bala: This displays the path that will be beneficial to our job or personal development.
3. Kaala Bala: This demonstrates when the best moment is for us to do something.
4. Cheshta Bala: This depicts what motivates us, our innate goals, and the meaning of our life’s fight.
5. Naisargika Bala: This is of minor importance because it is consistent throughout. This should be utilized in combination with other abilities. This shows which planets are naturally better at dictating outcomes.
6. Drik Bala: Based on the aspect of benefics on the planet, this shows which planet would be beneficial throughout the native’s life.
