The Shadbala has a great impact on the behavior of the planet in the birth chart at a particular placement. While passing judgment on a Horoscope, we need to see or assess the real quality of any planet. By analyzing the Shadbala we can easily understand whether that specific planet is going to give good outcomes or bad outcomes. A few times seeing a weakened planet, we finish up unpropitious outcome which isn't right.
