The strength of a planet is said to be six fold and they are in the following order ( 1 ) Kalaja or temporal (2) Cheshta or motional, (3) Ucchaja or that derived from its exaltation position, (4) Dik (dik ) or directional, (5) Ayana (ayana ) or that derived from its declination (north or south) and ( 6 ) Sthana ( sthana ) or positional. In the night time, Mars, the Moon and Venus are strong. Mercury is strong at all times. The rest are strong during the day. In the bright-half of a month the benefics, and in the dark-half, the malefics, are strong. Planets when they happen to be the lords of the year, month, day and hour get 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 Rupa respectively.

The Moon gets Cheshtabala when she is full. The Sun gets it when he is in his northern course; the other planets, when in their retrograde motion. In planetary war, those that are posited in the north and who have got brilliant rays should be con sidered as victorious. Planets have their full Uchcha bala when in their highest exaltation. As regards directional strength, the Sun and Mars are strong in the 10 th Venus and the Moon in the 4 th; Mercury and Jupiter in the 1 st and Saturn in the 7 th. Mercury, Saturn and the Moon have their Ayana bala in their southerly course. The rest have the same in their northern.

The strength accruing to a planet in the six Vargas (viz, Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Navamsa, Dwadasamsa and Trimsamsa) on a consideration of its being posited in its exaltation, its own and its friendly signs, etc., is termed its positional strength. That aris ing from its being in Kendra and other Bhavas (i.e., Phanapara and Apoklima) will be 1, and Rupa respectively. The hermaphrodite planets are strong in the middle, the male ones at the initial and the female ones at the concluding portions of a Rasi. Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and the Sun are in their order increasing in their natural strength.

A planet is said to possess strength when he is retrograde or when his rays are full and brilliant, though posited in a depression or inimical Rasi or Amsa. Like the Moon, a planet though occupying an exaltation, friendly or his own Rasi or Amsa becomes weak, should his rays be overpowered or eclipsed.

All planets are strong when they are in exaltation. The Moon is strong and auspicious when she has her full Paksha bala and the Sun when he has his full Dig-bala (i.e., when he is in the 10 th house or the Meridian). The other five non-luminous planets are strong when they are retrograde. Rahu in Karkataka, Vrishabha, Mesha, Kumbha and Vrischika and Ketu in Meena, Kanya, Vrishabha and the later half of Dhanus, in Parivesha and Indra-chapa are strong if there be a conjunction of the Moon and the Sun and the time be night.
