रूपं मानुषभेऽलिभेऽङ्घ्रेरपरेष्वर्द्धं बलं स्यात्तनोः तुल्यं स्वामिबलेन चोपचयगे नाथेऽतिवीर्योत्कटम् । स्वामीड्यज्ञयुतेक्षिते कवियुते चान्यैरयुक्तेक्षिते शर्वर्यांन्निशि राशयोऽहनि परे वीर्यान्विताः कीर्तीताः ॥ ६॥
If the first Bhava be a biped sign, ono Rupa has to be allotted to it; if it be Vrischika, the bala is 1/4; if it be any other sign, the strength is 1/2. The strength of the Lagna is equal to that of its lord and is very powerful when the lord occupies an Upachaya (3 rd, 6 th, 10 th or 11 th) house. The same is also the case when it is occupied or aspected by its lord, Jupiter or Mercury, when it is associated with Venus and is at the same time without the conjunction or aspect of any other planet. The day-signs possess strength in daybirths, while night-signs are declared powerful in night-births.

A planet gets one full Rupa as positional strength when he is in his exaltation Rasi. The strength is 3/4 when he is posited in his Moolatrikona Rasi. It is 1/2 when the planet occupies his own Rasi. When the planet is in a friendly house, his bala is only 1/4. In an inimical house, he gets only very little. The strength is nil when he is in his depression sign or eclipsed by the Sun's rays.

The aspect from the 7 th house is the only one that should be declared as most effective in all cases ; not so, the rest. But there are others who opine that the special aspect (of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars) is in no way less efficacious in producing full effect in all Yogas and the like.

Natural enmity or friendship between two planets is more fully effective than and preferable to their corresponding temporal ones as the latter is only a variable quantity and not a permanent one.
