Rasi, Hora, Dreshkan, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dvadashamsa and
Trimshamsa)
3.Ojhayugma Rasi Bala (acquired by placement in odd, or even Rasi
and in odd, or even Navamsa)
4. Kendradi Bala (due to placement in Kona, or Panaphara, or
Apoklima House),
5.Dreshkan Bala (due to placement in first, second, or third decanate of
a Rasi).

- Angle of the house : distance between the starting point and end of the a
house = angle of the house, which could be slightly less or more than 30
degrees.
Eg: The angle of the 1
st
house in the standard horoscope:
Sign ^ ^^ ^ ` ` ` ` `` `` `` ``
Junction (sandhi) of the 1
st

house 08 28 51 30
Minus junction of 12

(= 1 sign or 30^ ^ ^ ^ ) = 01 00 00 00

Divisions of the house : 1
st
half - Poorva bhag and 2
nd
half Uttara bhag
- The mid point divides the house into 2 halves.

1
st
half or Poorva bhag:
- The 1
st
half is from the start to the mid point.
- The residential strength of a planet in the first half is:
Longitude of a planet (-) Starting point (sandhi) of a house (/) divide by
angular distance of the first half.
2
nd
half or Uttara bhag:
- The 2
nd
half starts from the mid point (bhava madya) to the end of the
house (sandhi)
- The planet in the second half acquires residential strength as follows;

5

Longitude of end point (sandhi) (-) Longitude of planet (/) divide by
angular distance of the house.

Note:
- A planet placed in the mid point (Bhava Madhya) is strong and gives
good results.
- A planet placed on the border or bhava sandhi is weak and powerless,
incapable of giving good results.

the house.

In the above case, the following effects were felt:
- The Sun has the highest residential strength and sthana bal. During the
Sun dasha the native prosecuted his higher studies in medicine.
According to vedic astrology, Sun is the karak for medicines as
mythology says that Sun god passed on the knowledge of medicine to
Dhanwantari and his children, the Aswini twins are the physicians of
the god. Further, Sun is the lord of IXth house, signifying higher
studies. Sun is in Virgo (health care) along with Mercury (exalted) and
Mars (surgery) also having sthana bal.
- The Moon has the third highest residential strength. As Moon is in the
IXth house (higher studes) and on the star of Magha, also an asterism
indicating medical studies. Being lord of VIIIth, it shows research.
Further VIIIth house shows research and operation theatres, aspected
by Saturn. All these conditions indicate research and higher studies in
orthopedic surgery. The native became one of the leading orthopedic
surgeons during Moon dasha.
