Shadbala is a Sanskrit term: Shat (Six) + Bala (Strength). It is a quantitative measurement of a planet’s energy, derived from six distinct sources.

A planet with high Shadbala (above the average threshold of 1.0 or 100+ Virupas depending on the system) acts beneficially, even if it is naturally a malefic. Conversely, a functionally benefic planet with low Shadbala will struggle to deliver positive results.
The six sources of strength are:
| Life Area | Strong Planet | Weak Planet | What You'll Feel | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Career | Mercury (A+) | Mars (F) | Smart ideas, poor execution. Partner with a Martian. | | Relationships | Venus (B-) | Moon (C) | You give love logically, not emotionally. Work on empathy. | | Wealth | Jupiter (A) | Saturn (F) | Income is good, savings are slow. Automate investments. | | Health | Sun (A) | Mars (F) | Strong heart, weak muscles. Walk, don't run. |

Native B will struggle with ego, have a weak father figure, or suffer from low confidence—even if their Sun is in the same zodiac sign.

After calculating weakness, the tool should automatically recommend Upayas—mantras, gemstones (with caution), or charitable acts—to strengthen the planet. Let’s consider two fictional natives born on the
