  2. Digbala (Directional Strength): A planet’s strength based on the house it occupies. Certain planets have strength in specific houses.
  3. Kaalabala (Temporal Strength): Factors in time-related aspects such as day or night, lunar day, and planetary hour.
  4. Chestabala (Motional Strength): Considers the motion of planets, favouring retrograde planets and planets moving fast in their orbits.
  5. Naisargikabala (Inherent Strength): Recognizes the inherent capabilities of the planets. Some are naturally stronger than others.
  6. Drikbala (Aspectual Strength): This strength is based on the aspects of other planets. Beneficial aspects increase strength, while harmful aspects decrease it.
