| Benefics
and Malefics |
  |
Planets are considered as
benefics or malefics by their nature as well
as association.
| Benefic
Planets |
Venus,
Jupiter, Mercury and waxing Moon |
| Malefic
Planets |
Sun,
Saturn, Mars and waning Moon |
Here one should understand
that Moon from 8th Lunar day Suklapaksha
(Waxing Moon) to 8th Lunar day of Krishna Paksha
(waning Moon) is benefic in quality and it becomes
a malefic from 8th day of Krishna Paksha to
8th Lunar day of Shukla Paksha. If Mercury happens
to be with a malefic it also becomes Malefic.
| Shadbala |
 |
The strength of a planet
is determined by its six fold strength or
Shadbala. Complex mathematical routines are
used to determine these strengths.
| 1 |
Sthanabala
or positional strength |
| 2 |
Dikbala
or Directional strength |
| 3 |
Kalabala
or Temporal strength |
| 4 |
Chestabala
or Motional strength |
| 5 |
Naisargikabala

| 6 |
Drikbala
or Aspect strength |
The assessment of these
strengths is useful in predicting the longevity,
various aspects of life and results based
on the Dasa System.
