Vimsopaka Bala Example

We will manually calculate Vimsopaka bala with Napolean’s vedic chart as an example.

Napolean birth details – August 15th 1769 at 11:30 am in Ajaccio, France. Below is the shad vargas for Napolean’s chart.

I chose Napolean’s chart because it gives a different result if you exclude exaltation and moolatrikona. Sun is in Aries in D9 and D30. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer in D2 and D12.

Step 1: Determine the Panchadha Sambhanda from D1

The panchadha sambhanda should only be evaluated from the D1 chart. Do not look at this in the varga charts. We will do the analysis for Sun and Jupiter. The “Natural” row indicates the natural friendship between grahas. Sun is friends with Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. Sun is neutral to Mercury. Finally, Sun is enemies with Venus and Saturn. The “Temporal” row indicates the placement of the grahas from Sun or Jupiter. Grahas in houses 2, 3, 4, and 12, 11, 10 are friends. Grahas in houses 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are enemies.

Step 2 : Determine placement in vargas and associated grade

A graha in its own sign receives 20 points. A graha in its great friend, friend, neutral, enemy, and great enemy’s sign receives 18, 15, 10, 7, and 5 respectively. Please refer to the calculation method blog to understand the 20 points for Sun in D30.

Step 3: Applying the weights

The final step is to scale the values with the varga weights and add them. The weights for shad varga are 6, 2, 4, 5, 2, 1 for D1, D2, D3, D9, D12, and D30 respectively.

For Sun: 6*1 + 2*1 + 4*1 + 5*0.5 + 2*1 + 1*1 = 17.5

For Jupiter: 6*0.25 + 2*0.9 + 4*0.5 + 5*0.25 + 2*0.9 + 1*0.5 = 8.85

Therefore, Sun gives auspicious results for Napolean and Jupiter gives no beneficial results.
