Vedic Astrology: Saptavargaja Bala
Saptavargaja Bala means the strength of the seven-fold division. For calculating the Saptavargaja bala 1. The relative strength of a planet either being in the sign of the friend or enemy is first ascertained. Moreover the temporary friendship or enmity is also ascertained. The combination of temporary and permanent relationship gives us more comprehensive combined relationship. This relationship is applied to sapatvargas and then the strength is ascertained. 2. Out of shodahsavargas Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dwadashamsa and Trimsamsa together create saptavarga.
