Shadbala, the six-fold strength, is Parashara's measure of how able each graha is to give its results. It is counted in virupas, sixty to a rupa, for the seven grahas from the Sun to Saturn.
Sthana bala comes from the graha's sign and placement, dig bala from its direction, kala bala from the time of birth, cheshta bala from its motion, naisargika bala from its natural strength and drik bala from the aspects it receives. Their sum is the graha's Shadbala.
Rahu and Ketu are shadow grahas. The classical texts give them no Shadbala, so only the seven grahas are measured.
Date, time and place fix the longitude of every graha, with Lahiri ayanamsa.
