Sub-components: Uccha (exaltation distance), Saptavarga (7-varga dignity), Ojayugma-Rāśy-Aṃśa (odd/even sign + navāṃśa), Kendra (1/4/7/10), Drekkāṇa decanate. NOTE: the Saptavarga term currently uses the rāśi (D1) dignity; the full 7-varga composite is a forthcoming refinement.

Each graha is strongest in its own cardinal direction. Sūrya/Maṅgala → 10th (S/heaven); Candra/Śukra → 4th (N/earth); Guru/Budha → 1st (E); Śani → 7th (W). Computed by angular distance from the graha's required-house.

Sub-components: Natonnata (day/night), Pakṣa (waxing/waning), Tribhāga (day-third), Abda/Māsa/Vāra/Horā (year/month/weekday/hour-lordship), Ayana (declination/northing), Yuddha (planetary war). NOW COMPUTED per-graha: Ayana-bala from the graha's declination (vikṣepa → krānti via the Nīlakaṇṭha latitude kernel, Sun doubled), Pakṣa-bala from Moon-Sun elongation, and Yuddha-bala from the live ≤1° war scan (winner +, loser −). The time-of-day group (Natonnata/Tribhāga/Horā) needs the full birth-clock and is out of this column's scope; the value shown is the computed Ayana + Pakṣa ± Yuddha sub-total.

Retrograde planets gain strength (peak ceṣṭā). NOTE: currently computed from retrograde state only (retrograde = full, direct = mid); the full 8-state ceṣṭā (speed relative to the graha's mean motion + combustion) is a forthcoming refinement.

Fixed weight per graha by classical hierarchy: Sūrya 60 → Candra 51.43 → Śukra 42.85 → Guru 34.28 → Budha 25.71 → Maṅgala 17.14 → Śani/Rāhu/Ketu 8.57.

Net of incoming graha-dṛṣṭi — benefic aspects add, malefic subtract, ÷4. Computed from the whole-sign Parāśarī aspects (7th for every graha; Maṅgala also 4th/8th, Guru 5th/9th, Śani 3rd/10th); Candra's nature follows the pakṣa (waxing benefic). The continuous Sphuṭa-Dṛṣṭi virūpa interpolation is a forthcoming refinement.
