About Planets : Planets Have Positions, Avasthaas (States)

Avasthaa are Planetary States which depend on their position, or where they are
located either in sky or in a Raashi (Sign). They show the quality of a Graha's
placement; this quality shows how a planet works, the quality of his effects
(auspicious or inauspicious). A 'happy' planet can give better results than a 'sad'
planet - as we all know: when we are in good circumstances and feeling well, we
work better than in bad circumstances and feeling sad. Avasthaa are very
fundamental for every chart and Dashaa interpretation, therefore the very first
step in horoscope analysis must be defining the Avasthaa and the Bal of all Graha.

It is important to see the following fundamental difference:

Avasthaa indicate more the quality of a planet.
Bal (Strength) indicates more the quantity (the strength) of a planet. (see
Planets-Strength)

Definition of Avasthaa
[Phala Deepikaa, Ch. 3]
18.19. A planet is called Pradeept (blazing) when he is in his sign of exaltation.
He is Sukhit (happy) when he is in Mool-trikon Raashi.
He is Swasth (healthy) when he is in his own sign.
He is Mudita (delighted) in a friendly house.
He is Shaant (calm) when he has attained the Varg of a benefic planet.
He is Shaakt (capable) when he shines brightly (not combust by being near the Sun).
He is Vikal (distressed) when he is combust.
He is Nipidit (troubled or tortured) when he is overcome in the planetary war by
another planet.
He is Khal (base) when he is in the Varg of a malefic.
He is Su-dukhit (exceedingly unhappy) in an unfriendly sign.
He is Ati-bheet (very afraid) when he is in his sign of debilitation.

[Phala Deepika, Ch. 9, Sl. 14-20]

(describes effects of Avasthaa, included in particular explanation of each single
Avasthaa)

[Kalyana Varmas Saravali, Ch. 5]

2-4. Avasthaa, or States of Planets. Planets have nine states of being, viz.
Deept (radiant),
Swasth (confident),
Mudit (rejoiced),
Shaant (peaceful),
Shaakt (strong),
Nipidita (oppressed),
Bheet (alarmed),
Vikal (mutilated) and
Khal.

A planet when he is
in his exaltation he is said to be in Deept Avasthaa.
in his own House, he is in Swasth Avasthaa,
in his friendly House Mudit Avasthaa,
in beneficial Vargas he is in Shaant Avasthaa,
with bright rays in Shaakt Aavasthaa,
if defeated in planetary war then he is Nipidita Avasthaa,
if in fall, he is in in Bheet Avasthaa.
in combustion Vikal Avasthaa,
in malefic Vargas he is in Khal Avasthaa,

The planet that is in Bheet Avasthaa is because of fast motion. When a planet is in
Ati-char motion it is alarmed and is running away. Whereas the planet that is retro
is meditating. For the Malefics it is scheming, whereas for Benefics it is thinking
deeply about a particular issue. Gandhi had his AK as Jupiter which is retrograde
in Aries in 7th house. Do you think he was running away or what. Jupiter shows
Satya Maarg, so when Jupiter becomes AK, Gandhi was actually exerting a lot of
Cheshtaa or effort to attain his goal. His campaigns were called Satyaagraha.
Similarly when the planet that shows Isht Devataa is retrograde then the person
would try to attain the goal shown by Isht and his placements. Retro planets are
quite powerful, as they show links to past life also.

(Shlok 5-14 describe effects of Avasthaa, included in particular explanation of

each single Avasthaa)

Types of Avasthaa
Some say that there are five types of Avasthaa:
(1) Baalaadi Avasthaa
(2) Basic Avasthaa
(3) Shayanaadi Avasthaa
(4) Vaisheshikaansh Avasthaa
(5) Samaya Avasthaa

Every Planet is in a special Avasthaa (condition or state) at any point of time. So

one should consider basic Avasthaa of a Planet, then one can decide its special
Avasthaa for each planet in each Ansh, that is he is well placed or not. Same rules
apply for Varg also as they apply for natal chart. There are nine basic Avasthaas
(planetary states) for all planets, which are shortly described in this article. It
is important to understand that a bad Avasthaa in main chart can be improved by
good Avasthaas in Ansh placements (especially in Drekkan, Navaansh, Dwaadashaansh
and Shashtyaansh, Kalaansh and Trinshaansh as well). Vinshopak Bal and
Vaisheshikaansh are giving a general overview over a planet's true strengths with
respect to all Ansh placements.

Avasthaa are essential and should be learnt by heart by all seriously interested
astrologers - for people wishing becoming professional astrologers it is a mere
obligation and duty.

(1) Avasthaa 1-3: Waking State - High Consciousness of Graha

(2) Avasthaa 4-6: Dreaming State - Moderate Consciousness of Graha
(3) Avasthaa 7-9: Sleeping State - Low Consciousness of Graha

(1) Baal (Child 0-15 years),

(2) Pramudit (happy, opposite of Vikal delighted, rejoicing, glad, contented,
pleased, well-being)
(3) Swasth (healthy, confident, highly satisfied, independent, well-disposed, fine)
(4) Khal (great enemy)
(5) Sushupt (asleep),
(6) Duhkhit (distressed, disturbed, limited, handicapped, confused, depressed,
sorrowful),
(7) Vikal (opposite of happy)
(8) Vriddha (old)
(9) Mrit (dead)

An Avasthaa of a planet is his essential planetary state and describes his basic
nature with regard to the Raashi (with all its Ansh) and how he is feeling there.
Be aware of the fact that all Avasthaa are to be applied in main Natal Chart (D-1)
and in all Varg Charts (from D-2 to D-81), especially Dashaa Varg Charts (D-2 Hora,
D-3 Drekkan, D-4 Chaturthaansh, D-7 Saptamaansh, D-9 Navaansh, D-10 Dashaansh, D-12
Dwadashaansh, D-16 Kalaansh/Shodashaansh, D-30 Trinshaansh and D-60 Shashtiyaansh).
Note:
Ansh are particular divisions within a Raashi, based on dividing a sign - for
example - by 2 (15° Ansh), by 9 (3°20' Ansh) or by 60 (0°30' Ansh).

Note:
Not mentioned (with regard to Avasthaas) in ancient scriptures but surely important
is well is a planet's placement in a particular Nakshatra. For example, a planet in
his own Nakshatra in my view is surely more auspicious than his placement in a
Nakshatra of a planetary enemy of him.

They become retrograde only when they are opposite the Sun.
--Inner planets, Mercury and Venus can only turn retrograde and be combust
simultaneously.
--Mercury can only be about 27 degree away from the Sun and
--Venus can only be about 47 degree away, to the maximum, from the Sun . They do
appear to be coming near the Sun and getting combust in retrograde motion also.

Effects of Graha in Various Avasthaa

20. The planet in Pradeept Avasthaa gives good effects in full. They will be nil
when he is in Vikal Avasthaa. In the intervening Avasthaas the auspicious effects
will be decreasing proportionately and the inauspicious effects will
correspondingly increase. The Avasthaas of the planet will determine the effects
according to the names given to them.

The good or bad effects in various Avasthaa are approximately as given below:

Pradeept -- 100 per cent good

Sukhit -- 80 per cent good
Swasth -- 75 per cent good
Mudit -- 60 per cent good
Shant -- 50 per cent good
Shaakt -- 40 per cent good
Nipidita -- 40 per cent bad
Khal -- 50 per cent bad
Su-dukhit -- 60 per cent bad
Ati-bheet -- 75 per cent bad
Vikal -- 100 per cent bad.

The planets in good Avasthaa yield favorable effects in their Dashaas and Antar-
dashaas. The reverse is the case with planets in adverse Avasthaa.

The native will be wealthy like a king if there be at least one planet in his own
exaltation house aspected by or associated with a friendly planet.

15. Different Effects

- A planet in exaltation is considered highly strong. It is medium in strength in
its Mool Trikon Raashi, or own House. Its strength is only nominal, if it be
aspected by a friendly planet, or be in a friendly Raashi.

25. Effects of Exalted Planets etc

If a planet is exalted, it gives auspicious results to full extent. It is futile,
if in debilitation. The results are limited in an enemy's camp. The auspicious
effects given by a planet are in a friendly House, in own House and in Mool-trikon
Raashi.

26. Inauspiciousness of Planets

A planet is fully inauspicious, if it is in its debilitation. It is somewhat better
in inimical house. Its inauspicious effects are nil, if it is exalted, in friendly
House, in his own House or in Mool-trikon Raashi.

27. The planetary Combination

That produces Utpaat, the planet, that is combust by the Sun, with less brilliance,
which is in debilitation, in enemy's camp, or, that is defeated in planetary war:
such a planet not only loses its potency to be auspicious, but also becomes capable
of bestowing malefic effects in full.

28-30. Effects According to Exaltation etc

A planet in exaltation gives all kinds of wealth. It confers ministerial- ship, or
leadership over Army, if in Mool-trikon Raashi. If it is in own House, it gives
happiness, money, grains, wealth etc. In a friendly House, it gives fame, splendor,
abundant good fortune, long-lasting wealth and also wealth through king.

[Kalyana Varmas Saravali, Ch. 45]

(describes effects of Avasthaa, included in particular explanation of each single
Avasthaa)

22. Effects in Navaansh

If a planet is in its exaltation Navansh, the (good) effects due to the planet will
be full. If it is in its own Navaansh, it will give such results, as applicable to
its own Raashi placement. If it is in Navaanshas of its enemy, or of fall, the
(good) effects will be quite little, while moderate results will come to pass, if
it is in a friendly Navaansh.

(b) Mool Trikona (Sukhit)
(c) Exaltation or Mool Trikon (Garvit)

Effect according to Phal Deepikaa: 100% good for Deept/Pradeept, 80% for Sukhita
(Graha in Mool-trikona Raashi)
Garvit Avasthaa (Sukhit) for a planet in exaltation or Mool Trikon,
Deept Avasthaa (Pradeept) only for exaltation placement,

generosity, courage and dexterity.

20. When a planet happens to be retrograde in motion, he will produce the same
effect as if he is posited in exaltation sign, even if he may be in his enemy's
sign or in the sign of his debilitation.

[Kalyana Varmas Saravali, Ch. 5]

5. Effects of a Radiant Planet - Should a planet be in Deept state at birth, the
native burns his enemies with the fire of his valor. He gathers all kinds of
wealth. His (band of) elephants soak the surface of the earth with the juice, or
ichor exuding from their temples. (That is the native will own a large number of
elephants. See the simultaneous literary ability of Kalyana Varma. A number of such
comparisons can be found in this work)

14. Retrogression in Exaltation - If a planet is retrograde, while in exaltation,

it produces no effect (nothing good will happen). This is the view held by some.
Even, if it is in exaltation by its entry in retrograde motion from the next Sign
(for example Jupiter entering Cancer from Leo), the effect is same, for it takes
unduly long time in such trajectory.

15. Different Effects - A planet in exaltation is considered highly strong. It is

medium in strength in its Mool-trikon Raashi, or own House. Its strength is only
nominal, if it be aspected by a friendly planet, or be in a friendly Raashi.

25. Effects of Exalted Planets etc - If a planet is exalted, it gives auspicious

results to full extent. It is futile, if in debilitation. The results are limited
in an enemy's camp. The auspicious effects given by a planet are in a friendly
House, in own House and in Mool-trikon Raashi.

28-30. Effects According to Exaltation etc - A planet in exaltation gives all kinds
of wealth. It confers ministership, or leadership over Army, if in Mool-trikon
