Shadbala is a Vedic system measuring planetary strength through six different calculations, determining how effectively planets deliver results.
Shadbala calculates planetary strength through: Sthana Bala (positional strength), Dig Bala (directional strength), Kala Bala (temporal strength), Chesta Bala (motional strength), Naisargika Bala (natural strength), and Drik Bala (aspectual strength). The total determines how effectively the planet functions. High Shadbala means the planet delivers its results fully; low Shadbala means results come with difficulty or delay.
TriAstra calculates Shadbala for all planets, using it to weight planetary contributions to Personal Radar axes—strong planets contribute more to their related life areas.
Knowing your planets' Shadbala reveals which energies you can rely on most. High-Shadbala planets are your strongest allies; low-Shadbala planets need conscious development.
