షడ్బల (Shadbala)
Six-fold strength - measuring how powerful each planet is
Overview
Shadbala (meaning 'six strengths') is a detailed system for calculating planetary strength using six different factors: Sthana Bala (positional), Dig Bala (directional), Kala Bala (temporal), Chesta Bala (motional), Naisargika Bala (natural), and Drig Bala (aspectual). The total is measured in Rupas.

Strong planets (high Shadbala) can deliver their promised results effectively. Weak planets may struggle to give full results even in favorable positions. This helps prioritize which planetary remedies might be most helpful and which dasha periods will be stronger.
