Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shad Bala (Planetary Strength)?
Shad Bala is a Vedic astrology system that quantifies planetary strength across six dimensions: Sthana Bala (positional), Dig Bala (directional), Kala Bala (temporal), Chesta Bala (motional), Naisargika Bala (natural), and Drik Bala (aspectual). Our calculator uses Vimsopaka (divisional chart scoring), combustion penalties, and Dig Bala to give a practical strength percentage.
What does a "combust" planet mean?
A planet is combust when it appears too close to the Sun from Earth's perspective. This weakens its ability to express its natural qualities. Each planet has a specific combustion limit (e.g., Mercury at 14°, Venus at 10°). Our calculator applies a -25% penalty for combust planets.
How can I strengthen weak planets?
Remedies include wearing specific gemstones, chanting mantras on the planet's day, performing charitable acts, and adjusting lifestyle habits. The dashboard provides personalized remedy suggestions for each weak planet in your chart.
