Avasthas of Planets-II

Among the different planetary avasthas in different signs, today we will try to learn about Baladi Avastha. In the last chapter we learned about Diptadi Avastha. Baladi Avasthas are of 5 kinds. They are calculated in increments of 6 degrees when the planet is in an odd sign, and in decrements of 6 degrees when the planet is in an even sign. The predictions are made on the basis of the placement of planets in these Avasthas.

Baladi  Avastha

Odd Sign Name of the Avastha Even Sign
0 degree to 6 degrees Baal Avastha 24 degrees to 30 degrees
6 degrees to 12 degrees Kishore Avastha 18 degrees to 24 degrees
12 degrees to 18 degrees Yuva Avastha 12 degrees to 18 degrees
18 degrees to 24 degrees Vridh Avastha 6 degrees to 12 degrees
24 degrees to 30 degrees Mrita Avastha 0 degrees to 6 degrees

Description of Avasthas.

In Yuva Avastha the planet gives full rewards. Reward increases gradually from Bal Avastha to Kishore Avastha, and decreases in Vridha Avastha and ends in Mrita Avasta. Auspicious and inauspicious rewards are anticipated on the basis of the placement of planets.
