VEDIC ASTROLOGY AND KALA BALA OF PLANETS

Mathematical astrology is as important as Predictive astrology in astrology. It is a base through which astrology determines the Nakshatra and planetary positions and forecasts there by. Here in this article l will discuss Kala Balawhich is a piece of Shad-Bala by which planetary strengths is measured. KaalaBala means the time Weakness. Exactly we can say that the planets obtain Time Strength which is permanent from various sources. Time Strength is sub-divided in to six parts namely, NataunnataBala (diurnal strength), PakshaBala (Moon phase strength), TribhagaBala (day night strength), Varsha, Maas, Dina Bala (Year, month, day strength), YuddhaBala (planetary war strength) and AyanBala (equinoctial strength). Here in this article we will discuss about the first three sub-divisions of Time Strength of planets. NATAUNNATA BALA In NataunnataBala the Moon, Saturn and Mars are stronger during midnight and weaker during midday. The Sun, Jupiter and Venus get stronger at midday and are less strong at midnight. In Time Strength of planets Mercury always has full strength.The Sun, Moon and Mars acquire 60 points when a native is born at midnight. Same planets receive 0 point when a native is born at after noon time. The Sun, Jupiter and Venus get 60 points when a native is born during midday and has 0 point when a child is born during midnight. PAKSHA BALA The PakshaBala is connected with the lunar phase. There are two Pakshas in a month; these are Krishna Paksha and ShuklaPaksha. A Paksha is of 15 days. According to Shad Bala auspicious planets are strong during Shuklapaksha. Jupiter, Moon and Venus have auspicious effect on Mercury for 8 days during Shukla and Krishna Paksha. These planets are strong in ShuklaPaksha. The Sun, Mars and Saturn have inauspicious influence on Mercury for 8 days during the two Paksha. These planets are strong in Krishna Paksha. The Moon has 120 points on New Moon and Full Moon day. Moon becomes strong with 60 points during the Paksha and extremelyeffects human lives. To see the strength of Paksha the difference between the longitudes of Sun and Moon has to be found out. If the angle is greater than 180 degree then it has should be withdrew from 360 degrees. The result is divided by 3 to get the final result which is the Paksha strength of a planet. The formula to determine Paksha strength of planet is- (Moon / Sun) = PakshaBala of the planet TRIBHA BALA In TribhagaBala the day and night are divided into three parts. Jupiter always gets 60 points in TribhagaBala. If a child is born at the first half of the day then his horoscope will have strong Mercury with 60 points. If the birth time of a native is on the second half of the day then Sun is strong with 60 points and if the birth has taken place in the third part of a day then Saturn is strong in his horoscope with same opinions. The Moon gets 60 opinions if a child is born in the first part of the night. Venus is strong in the horoscope if a birth takes place on the second half of the night and Mars is strong with 60 points if a child is born in the third part of the night.
