Graha Samaya As per Saravali
Graha Samaya
Taken from Kalyana Varma's Saraavali.
There are 27 Graha Samayas, i.e. planetary conditions. These will help us know, as to
what a planet is doing at a particular moment with reference to either birth or query. Such
positions reveal specific results.
Calculation
1. Find out the number of Signs from Aries to Ascendant.
2. Find out the number of Signs from Aries to the Sign in which the planet is, for which the Samaya is being calculated.
3. Multiply above two numbers.
4. Multiply the number obtained in step 3 with the Vimshottari Dasa years of the planet.
5. Divide the number obtained step 4 by 27. The Remainder indicates the Graha Samaya of the planet.
Note: Samaya of Reminder 0 is the same as that of Reminder 27
Eg. Ascendant = Pisces, Saturn (for whom Samaya has to be got) = Libra
1. From Aries to Pisces = 12
2. From Aries to Libra = 7
3. 12 x 7 = 84
4. 84 x 19 = 1596
5. 1596 / 27 = 59 Quotient, 3 Reminder
6. Graha Samaya is indicated by Reminder 3
