Avasthas of Planets

Naslov: Avasthas of Planets Sub 5 Mar 2016 - 22:20

Among the different planetary avasthas in different signs, today we will try to learn about Baladi Avastha.

In the last chapter we learned about Diptadi Avastha. Baladi Avasthas are of 5 kinds.

They are calculated in increments of 6 degrees when the planet is in an odd sign, and in decrements of 6 degrees when the planet is in an even sign.

The predictions are made on the basis of the placement of planets in these Avasthas.

Baladi Avastha

Odd Sign Name of the Avastha Even Sign
0 degree to 6 degrees Baal Avastha 24 degrees to 30 degrees
6 degrees to 12 degrees Kishore Avastha 18 degrees to 24 degrees
12 degrees to 18 degrees Yuva Avastha 12 degrees to 18 degrees
18 degrees to 24 degrees Vridh Avastha 6 degrees to 12 degrees
24 degrees to 30 degrees Mrita Avastha 0 degrees to 6 degrees

Description of Avasthas.
In Yuva Avastha the planet gives full rewards. Reward increases gradually from Bal Avastha to Kishore Avastha, and decreases in Vridha Avastha and ends in Mrita Avasta. Auspicious and inauspicious rewards are anticipated on the basis of the placement of planets.

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:

Baladi Avasthas - Set of 5 avasthas
Jagradadi Avasthas - Set of 3 avasthas
Lajjitadi Avasthas - Set of 6 avasthas
Deeptadi Avasthas - Set of 9 avasthas
Sayanadi Avasthas - Set of 12 avasthas
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.

Jagradadi
This avastha is related to alertness. This avastha has mainly 3 subset that need to be understood before making and predictions.

Jagrata
Swapna
Susupta
Jagrata : In the the condition of the planet when it is in its own sign(rashi) or exaltation it indicates that the planet is in Jagrata Avatha and the result will be full.

Swapna : In the the condition of the planet when it is in the friendly sign(rashi) or in its own sign it indicates that the planet is in Swapna Avatha and the result will be Medium.

Jagrata : In the the condition of the planet when it is in enemy sign(rashi) or in debilitation it indicates that the planet is in Suspta Avatha and the result will be Nill.

Baladi
The Drekkana division of the zodiac sign helps to determine the baladi avasthas. The three drekannas of a rasi are divided mainly into -

Child age
Middle age
Old age
Since baladi avasthas deal with the physical body, they are reckoned in the opposite order for even signs—with the first drekkana showing old age.

The baladi avasthas depend on the drekkana division. The shastamsa division (half of drekanna) can also be used. Here, there are 6 states from childhood to death. In order, Sun

,

,

,

,

and

are strong in each of the 6 shastamsas. Mercury

is strong everywhere.

Sayandi
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.

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.

Avasthas

Avasthas are basically secondary sources of strength which temper interpretations rather than reverse them; for example, a planet in Mritya (Death) avastha and situated in its own or exaltation sign is better than when it is in debilitation.[1] Parashara has made mention of the undernoted varieties of planetary avasthas:

a) The basic planetary avasthas are Bala, Kumara, Yuva, Vriddha and Mritya. A planet in Bala avastha is of ¼ strength, in Kumara avastha of ½ strength, in Yuva avastha it is of full strength, in Vridhha avastha it is of minimum strength, and in Mritya avastha it gives no result.

b) A planet is in its Jagrat avastha i.e.Awakening state, when it is in own or exaltation sign, in Swapna avastha or Dreaming state when it is in a friendly or neutral sign, and in Sushupti avastha or Sleeping state when in an inimical or its debilitation sign.

c) A planet is in Dipita avastha when it is exalted, in Swastha avastha when it is in own sign, in Pramudita avastha when in the sign of its intimate friend, in Shanta avastha when in a friendly sign, in Deena avastha when it is in a neutral sign, in Vikala avastha when it is in a malefic sign, in Khala avastha when in aninimical sign and in Kopa avastha when it is combust (eclipsed by the Sun

).
d) A planet is in Lajjita avastha when placed in the 5th bhava or house it conjoins with Rahu

,

,

,

or

, in Garvita avastha when it occupies its sign of exaltation or its moolatrikona rasi, in Kshudita avastha when it is in its inimical sign or either in conjunction with or aspected by an inimical planet or Saturn

, in Trushita avastha when situated a in watery sign is aspected by a malefic only, in Mudita avastha when it is in its friendly sign either aspected by or in conjunction with a benefic or Jupiter

, and in Kshobita avstha when it is in conjunction with the Sun

or either aspected by or in conjunction with an inimical planet.

e) The fifth kind of avasthas is ascertained from the Nakshatra occupied by the particular as counted from Ashvini. Those avasthas are Sayana, Upavesana, Netrapani, Prakasana, Gamana, Agamana, Sabha, Agama, Bhojana, Nrityalipsa, Kautuka and Nidra. A benefic in Sayana avastha will give good results at all times but a malefic in Bhojana avastha destroys everything indicated by the house it occupies.

f) From the states obtained from nakshatra occupation the Dristi avastha when the planet gives ordinary results, the Cheshta avastha when the result is intense and the Vicheshta avastha when minimal result accrues.

All standard Hindu astrology text-books provide the method for ascertaining the afore-mentioned avasthas as also the results of planets found in those avasthas.

Implication

The planet which is in Baala avastha i.e. in odd signs 0-6, in even signs 24-30 degress gives an ascending rise, in Kumar avastha i.e. in odd signs 6-12, in even signs 18-24 degrees, much better results, in Yuva or taruna avastha i.e. in odd signs 12-18, in even signs 12-18 degrees, gives the strongest or best results, in Proudha avastha i.e. in odd signs 18-24, in even signs 6-12 degrees, it becomes incapable of doing good, and in Vriddha avastha i.e. in odd signs 24-30, in even signs 0-6 degrees it gives very bad results.

In Horary astrology there are two kinds of avasthas taken into account, they are 1) according to the neutral, friendly, own, moolatrikona, exaltation, inimical or debilitation sign occupied and 2) Atibaala avastha (infant), a day after combustion, Balya avastha (child), seven days after combustion, Kumara avastha (adolescent), till the planet becomes stationary, Yuva avastha (youth), till the commencement of retrogression, Bhupa avastha (royal), for period of retrogression, Vriddha avastha (servile), a few days before combustion, and Mritya avastha (death), when the planet is combust or eclipsed. The former is Sthana avastha or the positional state and the latter the Kala avastha or the temporal state.

Hindu astrology also refers to eleven more avasthas or moods which are Pradipta (blazing) when the planet is in exaltation sign, Sukhita (happy), in its moolatrikona rasi, Svastha (well), when in own sign, Mudita or Harishita (delighted), when in its friendly sign, Shanta (tranquil), when it is in the Varga varga of a benefic planet, Sakta (capable), when it is possessing brilliant rays, Nipidita (tortured), defeated in graham-yuddha, Khala (base), when it is in varga of a malefic, Suduhkhita (exceedingly distressed), in inimical sign, Atibhita (greatly frightened), in its debilitation sign and Vikala (infirm), when it is eclipsed. The effects of these avasthas will be corresponding to their appellations.

Avastha in Sanskrit means status or state. Hindu astrology has evolved methods for ascertaining the avasthas (states) gained by planets at any given time. Parashara in his Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra refers to six kinds of avasthas.

Avasthas are basically secondary sources of strength which temper interpretations rather than reverse them; for example, a planet in Mritya (Death) avastha and situated in its own or exaltation sign is better than when it is in debilitation.[1] Parashara has made mention of the undernoted varieties of planetary avasthas:

c) A planet is in Dipita avastha when it is exalted, in Swastha avastha when it is in own sign, in Pramudita avastha when in the sign of its intimate friend, in Shanta avastha when in a friendly sign, in Deena avastha when it is in a neutral sign, in Vikala avastha when it is in a malefic sign, in Khala avastha when in aninimical sign and in Kopa avastha when it is combust (eclipsed by the Sun

).

Significance
Astrologers are known to have made very successful predictions solely on the basis of planetary avasthas without using any dasha; avasthas have some secret and hidden meanings that an astrologer needfully elucidates.[6] Neelakantha in his Prasna Tantra states that one should predict by examining the ten planetary avasthas dipita etc., when such a prediction will not go wrong.[7]
