Computation of Exaltation Strength ( Uchaa bala )

An exalted planet gets 100% strength. In Vedic Astrology 100% strength is 60 Shashtiamsas or Virupas or 1 Rupa.

When a planet occupies its deep exaltation point or Uchabhaaga, it gets a strength of 1 Rupa. Similarly, when it occupies its deep debilitation point, it gets zero strength.

Exaltation strength is given by the formula

Exaltation Strength = Planet's longitude - Its debilitation Point/180 * 60 ( in Virupas or Shastiamsas )

where the difference is more than 180, it is to be subtracted from 360
