Vedic Astrology is based on the Planetary system. Modern Astronomy has been able to calculate the movement and direction of planets very precisely and accurately. Yet sometimes the predictions do not come up to one’s expectations. There are a number of books available dealing with Astrology and Horoscopes. One important factor which normally is not taken into account at the time of delineation of Horoscope is the strength of the Planets and the Bhavas. Shadbala is the system of calculating the strength of the Planets, viz. Sthana Bala, Kaala Bala, Cheshta Bala, Nisargika Bala and Drik Bala.

Bhava Bala is the system of calculating the strength of the Bhavas, viz. Bhava Adhipati Bala, Bhava Dig Bala, Bhava Drishti Bala, Bhava Dina Ratri Bala and Bhava Shubha Ashubha Bala. Methods of calculating Shad Bala and Bhava Bala have been mentioned in classical literature quite in detail. It has also been desired that these strengths should be made use of while predicting the events, yet no information has been given as to their exact application. An attempt has been made in a humble way to introduce methodology for application of Shad Bala, Bhava Bala and other strengths.
