AstrologgerShadbala Calculator
Shadbala measures the relative strength of each planet in your Vedic birth chart. Enter your birth details to see every planet ranked by strength in Rupas, along with the component balas that make up the total.
How Shadbala is calculated
Shadbala combines several strength components for each planet — Uchcha (exaltation), Dig (directional), Kala (temporal), Cheshta (motional) and Naisargika (natural) bala. These are added and expressed in Rupas, then ranked so you can see which planets are relatively strong or weak in your chart. Strength here is a classical measure, not a verdict about good or bad results.
Frequently asked questions
What is Shadbala?
Shadbala is a classical Vedic system for measuring the relative strength of the planets in a birth chart, combining several component strengths into a total expressed in Rupas.
What are the component balas?
This calculator uses Uchcha (exaltation), Dig (directional), Kala (temporal), Cheshta (motional) and Naisargika (natural) bala, added together and ranked.
What is a Rupa?
A Rupa is the unit Shadbala is expressed in — one Rupa equals sixty Virupas. Higher totals indicate greater classical strength within your chart.
Does a strong planet mean good results?
Not necessarily. Shadbala describes classical strength, not outcomes. A strong or weak planet is one factor among many and is best read as a lens for reflection.
Do I need my exact birth time?
Yes — Shadbala depends on the precise chart, which shifts with the birth time and place, so accurate details give the most reliable result.
