Vimsopaka Bala – The Planetary ‘Report Card’ of Excellence I) Parasara defined the prominent divisional charts that affect the major areas of life an individual. More so, he even gave a weighted scheme to be attributed to the divisional charts while analyzing the divisionals in a Quantitative analysis to be able to ‘objectify’ each planet’s score in the different charts. Higher the score – better the results a planet gives in its Vimshottari and other dasas as the planet is well placed to fructify the results of various facets of life that these divisional charts rule. First, let us understand the scheme given by Parasara. He suggest 6 of the divisional charts to be given importance with a weightage scheme as followsRasi chart or D1 – 6 points Hora or D2 – 2 points Drekkana or D3 – 4 points Navamsa or D9 – 5 points Dwadsamsa or D12 – 2 points Trimsamsa or D30 – 1 point For a total score of 20 potential points for any given planet. As I mentioned before, exaltation and debilitation do not hold much value in the divisional charts. In order of decreasing ‘benefic nature’ (ability to do good) the ranking isMooltrikona House> Own House> Best Friend> Friend> Neutral> Enemy> Great Enemy So Parasara also defined the weightage to be given to each of these placements. Let’s say as an example 100% to Mooltrikona, 90% to own house etc. So assuming a planet is Mooltrikona in D1 and own house in Navamsa (D9) etc. then we get (100% of 6) + (90% of 5) +….(likewise contribution from other divisionals as above) for a total score out of 20. The score out of 20 will give you a good numeric value of how the planet behaves in its dasa in terms of “Contentment” level. The reason is implicit. These divisionals represent various aspects of life. Example D9 represents marriage and partnerships along with the dignity of

planets. D3 represents our siblings, co-borns, friends etc. or in other words the support system we have in life etc. So if a planet is well placed in more of these divisionals, more fulfilling will its dasa feel overall.

JHora spits out this score in the “strengths” tab of the software. This is out of 20 and the higher the better. As a general rule, at or above 10 makes for a good dasa and below 10 will lead to a dasa ‘lacking’ in many facets of life (even if the planet is otherwise strongly placed in terms of shadbala etc.). Since JHora will do the calculations for you, the reader can thus utilize this accordingly after having understood the logic behind these calculations. II) On a side note, when I perform a deep dive study on a chart, I tend to use my own weightage scheme. This is because I feel the context of relative importance has shifted in the contemporary times. Let’s say D3 (help and satisfaction from siblings) might still be important but much less than what it was in the yester years of Joint families and siblings working in related family work/ business etc. As a disclaimer, the above point is subjective in the context of each individual and no sweeping generalizations can be made. I make no claims to the validity of my own analysis except that it is based on my understanding of what is important in today’s world to the average astrology reading seeker. As an example career is vital to most people today and the original scheme of Parasara does not include Dasamsa (D-10) for career whereas I do. Now to help the reader understand via an example, please see the horoscope we have discussed before – Sep 18, 1981 at 1612 HRS and 27 seconds in Chandigarh, India The first pic shows various divisionals and the planetary placements. The second picture shows the JHora calculated Vimsopaka Bala calculations and finally the third pic shows a spread sheet I utilized to calculated this via a separate “weightage” system to the different divisional charts for a few of the planets of the same horoscope. The score is hence different from the JHora provided output but more meaningful from my vantage point of analysis. The advanced reader can, after understanding the above logic, make her own calculations/ spreadsheets when diving deep into a horoscope. Picture 1

PS: Vimsopaka Bala has another Related but separate analysis scheme called as Vaiseshikamsa scheme. The reader should not confuse these as they are related but separate calculations

******************.

Vaiseshikamsa – The brother of Vimsopaka Bala I detailed Vimsopaka Bala as a planetary score card in the previous article. A related/ similar topic is Vaiseshikamsa. The concept is very similar to the Vimsopaka scheme. The planetary position is noted in various Vargas (divisional charts) and the number of Vargas in which the planet is Exalted, Mooltrikona or Own house is counted. This

score is used to analyze the strength of the Raj Yogas that the planet is involved in. The higher the score, the stronger the ‘depth’ or power/ ability to deliver the Raj Yogas the planet is involved in. An important difference is the exclusion of the importance of exaltation in Vimsopaka and its inclusion in Vaiseshikamsa. There are 4 different schemes or groups as per which Vaiseshikamsa can be analyzed. These are(1) Shadvarga “Shadvarga” implies “six divisions”. It includes the divisional charts – (1) D-1, (2) D-2, (3) D-3, (4)D9, (5) D-12, and, (6) D-30. (2) Sapta varga “Sapta varga” means “seven divisions”. It includes the divisional charts – (1) D-1, (2) D-2, (3)D-3, (4) D-7, (5) D-9, (6) D-12, and, (7) D-30. (3) Dasa varga “Dasa varga” means “ten divisions”. These comprise of – (1) D-1, (2) D-2, (3) D-3, (4)D-7, (5) D-9, (6) D-10, (7) D-12, (8) D-16, (9) D-30, and, (10) D-60. NOTE: This is the most important Scheme as it was heavily emphasized by Parasara and is the most widely used as well. (4) Shodasa varga “Shodasa varga” means “sixteen divisions”. These include – (1) D-1, (2) D-2,(3) D-3, (4) D-4, (5) D-7, (6) D-9, (7) D-10, (8) D-12, (9) D-16, (10)D-20, (11) D-24, (12) D-27, (13) D-30, (14) D-40, (15) D-45, and, (16)D-60. Lets discuss the Dasa Varga scheme more as it is the most vital of the 4, even though others can be employed as well. JHora gives you an option to quickly find these values for all the 4 schemes. As an example for our Sep 18, 1981 at 1612 HRS, Chandigarh, India horoscope, Figure 1 one shows the Vaiseshikamsa for all the 4 schemes mentioned here. As per the score you get (when you count the number of times a planet is in either exaltation, mooltrikona or own sign in the Vargas mentioned above) the names of such conditions of the planets are mentioned below for reference. So as an example a planet in 6 such positions will be called to be in the state of ‘Paravatamsa’

Paaijatamsa – 2, Uttamamsa – 3, Gopuramsa– 4, Simhasanamsa – 5, Paravatamsa – 6, Devalokamsa – 7, Brahmalokamsa – 8, Airaavatamsa– 9, Sridhamamsa – 10 Points to know– Typically the higher this score for a planet, the greater is its ability to form strong yogas which last longer as well as opposed to a planet that has a score of 1 or 0. A score of 4 or more is high for any planet. A score of 6 or more is very high and the involved planet becomes very strong and well placed. – The lords of Kendra (1,4,7,10) in Rasi chart (D1) are very beneficial to have with a high score and so are the lords of the trine houses (1,5,9) – If 2 planets cause a Raj Yoga and both have a score of 4 or higher, then the resultant Raj yoga is strong. The higher the score, the stronger it is. If one planet has a score of say 3 and other of 6, the planet that has 6 will tend to give the results of the Raj Yoga in a more florid manner than the planet that has a score of 3. Figure 1

In this horoscope, Moon, Mars, Venus & Saturn have especially high Vaiseshikamsa scores whereas Sun has a very poor score of 0 in the Das Varga scheme. The above is for the intermediate reader. Now here is an addendum for the advanced userParasara also mentioned that while calculating Vaiseshikamsa, a planet in “Swarudha” is a good placement, which will be given a score of 1 or equivalent to being exalted or own house (with some over-riding or canceling factors as shown below) So what does Swarudha mean? and what exactly are the overriding factors? It is unfortunately unclear and lost in translation from the old verses. JHora gives the advanced user an option to play with these Vaiseshikamsa settings and from experience I utilize the following settings“AL of rashi taking Kendra lords and not the planets in Kendras as good placements” The overriding conditions as hinted by Parasara that I select are as follows in Figure 2 Figure 2
