Sayanadi Avasthas

Astrobix |

Planets on account of their incessant movement get into certain state of existence called avasthas. Depending on their position in the chart and the other conditions, Indian astrology classifies the conditions of the planets into 5 different sets of avasthas. They are:

It is a very detailed and complicated study as to how a planet in each of the 5 types of
sets of avasthas behaves. Based on that the results given by each planet for each type
of the sets of avasthas is taken into consideration while giving predictions.
Fundamentally 3 avasthas are taken into consideration

  • Baladi Avasthas - deals with the physical state of body systems
  • Sayanadi Avasthas - deals with the awareness of Mind
  • deeptadi Avasthas - deals with the light of of the soul

Sayanadi

This Avasthas deal with the state of the mind, which constantly propels between the state of rest and activity. for example,.We can observe the state of the mind. The energy of the body comes from the food we eats. Intake of food is done in rest and comforts, and this can happen at places such as: swakshetra (home), moola Trikona (work) or in exaltation (picnic/party).

The intrinsic energies of a planet come from swakshetra sign. The energy from which the native  executes the work comes from his Moola Trikona sign. The energy from which he succeeds in all activities comes from the sate of exaltation.

As we can intake food and energy only when our mind is at rest and comfort In the same way, the planets recharge only when they are stationary, and comfortable i.e in the own sign, in Mool Trikona and in exaltation sign.

Jupiter remains in a sign for about a year, and transits Sagittarius once in 12 years. It is stationary in Sagittarius with Sagittarius lagna rising once in 144 years. As a result, it is very rare for a soul to be born with this particular combination.When this occurs in Pisces, spiritual charging takes place. In Sagittarius, recharging of dharma takes place. When it occurs in Cancer, recharging of Sukha takes place. Once every 12 years, when Jupiter transits Sagittarius, and the recharging of dharma takes place,

Formula for calculating the Sayanadi Avastha of a planet

‘C’ - Nakshatra number occupied by the planet (1 for aswini, 2 for bharani etc.
‘P’ - Planet whose avastha we have to calculate (1 for Sun, 2 for Moon, 3 for Mars, 4 for
Mercury, 5 for Jupiter, 6 for Venus and 7 for Saturn).
‘A’ - Index of the Navamsa occupied by the planet in rasi.
‘M’ - Constellation occupied by Moon.
‘G’ - Ghati running at birth.
‘L’ - Rasi occupied by Lagna (1 for Aries, 2 for Taurus) and so on).
Compute (C x P x A) + M + G + L and then divide it by 12 and take the remainder.
Using the resulting number as the avastha index and referring to table given above, we
find out the avastha of the planet.
Example:
C – Planet Sun is in Hasta nakshatra. It is the 13th constellation
P – Sun is taken – Hence number = 1.
A – Sun is in 18° Vi 36’ which has the index number as 6.
M – Moon’s nakshatra is Purvabhadrapada which is the 25th constellation.
G – Native was born at 13:47. Sun rise on that date was 6:04. 7 hours and 43 minutes
have passed since sun rise which is equal to 463 minutes. A ghati contains 24
minnutes, 463/24 = 19.29 ghatis. So the 20th ghati was running at birth.
L – Lagna is Capricorn which is the 10th in the natural zodiac.
