Strength of a Rashi – A Jaimini view !

Various yogas in astrology require determinants from rashi and its lords . These determinants are classified with the help of strength of the rashis and planets .

How are these strengths determined .

1. shadbala of planets .

2. Bhavabala based on Shadbala of lords .

The above is said to be indicatie of VEERYA of the planet and RASHI . veerya detremines the extent of results that a planet or rashi would give in a dasha . This is potency of RASHI or Planet . one gets output as per the potency .

But when two planets or Rashi are to be compared , more than potency , its pure strength that would score a point .

There is another way of calculating these strengths ,

The first important way of determining strength of a rashi is as follows .

A>

  1.  The rashi that has its own karaka in it will be powerful
  2. if both rashis [ when comparing two rashis ] have karakas in it , then one that has more karakas [ planets ] will be powerful
  3. If both have same number of planets , then if one of them have exalted planets or mooltrikona swastha planets , that will be stronger .
  4. if both have such planets , then chara rashi will be weaker than sthira rashi and dwisvabhava will more powerful
  5.  the one with its lord in the bhava will be stronger . [ when comparision is between two different bhavas ]
  6. In other case , one having planet in advanced degrees will be stronger .
  7. the planet or rashi having planets in 12 and 2 nd will be powerful

B>second  determinant is

  1. The bhavas aspected or associated by JUPITER , MERCURY and LORD

C> third determinant is from its Lord

  1. The lord being placed in kendra panapara apoklima  from lagna / atmakaraka gains strength in decreasing order .

D>fourth determinant is

  1. The planet being posited in male and female rashis .

The above mentiones strengths should be applied in determining the start of the  dasha prada rashi in chara dasha .

Then second source of strength is to be used in predicting results in antardasha .

third one is used to assess the completeness of the result . the third is used to detrmine the order of karak dashas .

the fourth is used to analyse the dwara and  bahaya rashis  . The  malefic would give diseases and incarceration ,while benfics will give elevation in status and happiness and success in ventures undertaken .
