The Conditions or Avasthas
The degree of planets plays an important role in determining the level of impact on the horoscope. Each planet is placed at a specific degree. The thirty degrees of a zodiac sign are divided into five equal parts which are called baladi avasthas and each of these parts carries a different significance. There are five avasthas or conditions a planet can be in. Each of these five conditions provides the planet with a different strength or rate of influence. Studying the rate of influence helps in understanding the type of effect a planet gives out. Strong avasthas provide higher strength to the planets and their significations. The avasthas and their degree range are opposite for odd and even zodiac signs. The five avasthas, their respective degree range and ranking according to strength are given below.
