Baladi Avasthas (Age States)

Baladi Avasthas classify planets into five age states — Infant, Youth, Adolescent, Old, and Dead — based on their degree within a sign, affecting their ability to deliver results.

Understanding

What is Baladi Avasthas (Age States)?

The five Baladi Avasthas divide each sign into six-degree segments: Bala (Infant, 0-6°), Kumara (Youth, 6-12°), Yuva (Adolescent, 12-18°), Vriddha (Old, 18-24°), and Mrita (Dead, 24-30°) for odd signs, reversed for even signs. A planet in Yuva (adolescent) state delivers full results — it has the energy and maturity to act. Bala (infant) planets show potential but deliver only 25% results. Mrita (dead) planets struggle to manifest their significations at all. This system adds nuance to dignity assessment.
