Astrology · KP System

Planet-to-planet aspects — same strength formula and polarity as the KP cusp grid, but between the nine planets themselves. The diagonal is blank (a planet doesn't aspect itself); the grid is symmetric.

Tara Bala — the nine-fold star cycle counted from your janma nakshatra (the Moon's birth star). Each of the 27 nakshatras takes one of nine taras: Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra, Ati-Mitra are auspicious, Vipat, Pratyari, Vadha inauspicious, and Janma is mixed. It is used to judge the quality of a day (by the Moon's star) and of any planet's nakshatra.

The five limbs (Pancha-anga) at the moment of birth — Tithi, Vāra, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — with the Sun/Moon signs and the day's sunrise/sunset. (For today's panchang & horas, use Daily Panchāng at the top.)

Shadbala — the six-fold strength of the seven planets, per BPHS, in Rupas (1 Rupa = 60 Virupas). A planet is "strong" when its total meets the minimum required Rupas. The six sources are Sthāna (positional), Dig (directional), Kāla (temporal), Cheshta (motional), Naisargika (natural) and Drik (aspectual).

Per BPHS textbook. A few sub-balas are under-specified in the classics so software differs on them — here Cheshta uses the Seeghra-kendra from mean longitudes, Abda/Masa use the savana Ahargana, and Drik uses graded graha-drishti with the Parashari special aspects. Every component is shown above so you can verify each against your reference.

Sixteen standard Parashari divisional charts (varga). Each Dn divides every 30° sign into n parts and re-maps planets per BPHS rules. D1 is your birth chart; D9 (Navamsa) is the most-cited; D60 (Shashtiamsa) is the finest.

Ashtakavarga — for each planet, bindus (auspicious points) per sign based on its position relative to the 7 other contributors + Lagna. Last row (Sarva) sums all 7 planets; total is always 337.

Higher bindus mean the area is more supported — both for natal results and for transits through that sign. Sarva > 28 in a sign is considered strong; < 24 is weak.

Transit (Gochara) — where the planets are at a given moment, laid out on your natal Lagna. Defaults to now; change the date/time to look ahead or back.
