Planetary Strength Report FAQ
The Planetary Strength Report is a premium astrology report that shows how strong, refined, supportive, or challenged each planet is in the horoscope. It combines multiple classical strength systems so you can assess not only where a planet is placed, but how effectively it can give results.
Shadbala is a classical six-fold measure of planetary strength. It combines different kinds of strength such as positional strength, directional strength, temporal strength, motional strength, natural strength, and aspect-related strength. It helps show the overall practical power of a planet in the horoscope.
Bhava Bala shows the strength of houses or life areas in the horoscope. It helps identify which areas of life are more active, more supported, or more capable of giving results, such as career, marriage, wealth, health, or spiritual growth.
Ishta Bala shows the supportive, benefic, or helpful potential of a planet, while Kashta Bala shows the difficult or stressful side of its expression. This helps you understand whether a planet is more likely to produce constructive outcomes or challenging experiences in practical life.
Vaisheshikamsa Bala highlights special dignity and qualitative refinement gained by planets through divisional and positional strength. It adds a deeper layer to planetary judgement and helps identify planets that are especially elevated, refined, or capable of producing notable results.
Graha Dignity shows the condition of each planet through factors such as sign dignity, vargottama, pushkara navamsa, pushkara bhaga, combustion or ashtangata, and graha yuddha. This section helps you understand how pure, refined, protected, or compromised a planet is in its expression.
Graha Relations shows how planets relate to one another through natural friendship, temporary relationship, and compound or five-fold relationship. These relations help explain whether planets support, cooperate with, modify, or challenge one another in the chart.
This report is important because a planet cannot be judged only by sign or house placement. Two planets may appear similar in position but behave very differently depending on their strength, dignity, support, and refinement. This report helps make horoscope interpretation more accurate and realistic.
Use this report to identify which planets are truly strong, which houses are better supported, which planets are more benefic or difficult in expression, and how planetary relationships shape the final results. It is especially useful when judging yogas, dashas, house outcomes, and the real capacity of planets to deliver their promise.
