Dig Bala (Directional Strength)
In the Vedic astrology texts there is a method known as "Shad Bala" (translated as "sixfold strength"). This is a technique of evaluating planets and their influence primarily based on various Universal elements - numerous Astronomical in nature. 1 of the most essential factors of Shad Bala (and easiest to use), is named Dig Bala - Directional Strength.
The common idea of Dig Bala is that planets will do greater supporting specific angles in the chart than other individuals. When a planet is closest to its ideal Dig Bala position it not only supports the angle, but Its purpose is supported as effectively.
Dig Bala is a Universal Principle, as every single astrology chart will have 4 angles that relate to the distinctive directions. As with all "Universal Astrology" principles, the rule itself is vital only in that we investigate and recognize the cause why. When we just repeat a rule like "Mercury has Dig Bala in the 1st residence, so it really is very good", we are adding nothing at all to the reading except a basic black and white assertion. One particular of the massive troubles with just memorizing guidelines with no understanding the "why", is that we wind up unable to untangle the contradictions of lots of placements.
For instance: we may possibly have a planet that has excellent Dig Bala, but it's debilitated or retrograde or receiving very hard factors or ruling challenging homes, and so forth. In fact, you can count on those complexities. For this purpose it really is crucial to realize specifically what Dig Bala strength shows about the planet, the home/angle in a very certain and detailed way.
In this class we will evaluate why every single planet has Dig Bala in the position it does and also examine/contrast that Directional position with the other Directional positions, specially its opposite placement -- exactly where it really is Dig Bala is lowest.
Directions Please,...
Each astrology chart we are going to erect will have 4 directions as shown by homes One particular, four, 7 and ten. Let's evaluate those positions in common.
The initial property/ascendant is the East. It shows the power coming into birth at that time primarily based on the exact position of the turning Earth relative to the sky in the regional place exactly where the chart is getting drafted. The 1st property shows the physique/character/style and all round practical experience in an folks chart or these similar qualities (minus the physical physique) in an electional chart.
The fourth residence/nadir is the North. It shows what is the deepest and most hidden. If your draw a chart for exactly where you happen to be sitting ideal now, the nadir would be straight under you. The fourth property shows the feelings and inner emotional life of an individual or an occasion.
The seventh residence/descendent is the West. It shows that which is furthest away from the individual or occasion (that is born in the initially residence). It really is usually named the "connection home". The seventh home shows that which is absolutely opposite the individual or occasion. There is a sturdy magnetic pull toward our opposite. The seventh residence shows this and acts as a mirror to the very first residence.
The 10th residence/midheaven is the South. It shows what is straight overhead and shows what has the highest capacity to effect us or the influence we can have. The 10th residence shows the high-quality of action and effect that a individual or occasion can have on the globe and/or that the planet can have on the individual or the occasion.
