States of Planets
The auspicious and inauspicious character of a planet is decided according to the position of the planet at the time of birth. Apart from this, the results of a planet depend upon the degree of the planet and the sign of the planet at the time of birth. The state of the planet according to the degrees of the planet is known as Baladi state and the state of the planet according to the sign of the planet is known as Deeptadi state.
Sage Parashar gave various states of a planet to analyse the quantitative capacity of planets for giving results. The states which are used prominently to make astrological predictions are as follows:
- Deeptadi State
- Baladi State
- Jagritadi State
Apart from this, sage Parashar has mentioned few more states of planets. Auspicious and strong planets yield good results. All the states follow this rule. Let us first understand the Deeptadi state.
There are ten states in Deeptadi state. These ten states are made according to the position of planets in a sign. A planet can be in exalted sign, debilitated sign, friendly sign, enemy sign and in combust state in a sign.
