Understanding Graha Samaya in Astrology

Graha Samaya is a system in Vedic astrology that examines the 27 possible "avasthas" or states of planets. Each avastha indicates different effects the native may experience during that planet's major dasha period. To determine a planet's samaya, one calculates the avastha number based on the planet's house position and the lagna, then multiplies and divides this number based on the planet. The resulting avastha provides insight into the nature and quality of events during that planet's dasha. Having many planets in unfavorable samayas can weaken the overall strength of one's horoscope.

                                                     GRAHA SAMAYA


Avasthas of planets in general indicate the nature of effects the native is likely to experience
during the major Dasha of that particular planet. Graha Samaya is also a system based on the
‘Avasthas’ of planets in a chart. As you are aware many classics like Brihat Parashara Hora
Shastra, Sanketanidhi etc., have given many Avasthas and their interpretations. One more type
of Avasthas has been described in ‘Jyothirsharnava Navaneetham’ which is called ‘Graha
Samaya’. I have come across a Kannada classic titled ‘Lalita Jyothishya Chandrika’ which gives
more details of this system than the former and the methodology of calculation is slightly
different.
There are 27 Avasthas / Samayas and planets when they are placed in these exert a particular
influence on the native. A list giving 27 Samayas and their interpretation is given below.
Sl
No. Avasthas / Samayas Interpretation
1 Snana Courage, good family, Progeny, Honour, Victory
2 Vastradharana Kingship, Acquisition of  gems, wealth, Authority
Tilaka / Gandha
3 dharana Safety, popularity, honour
4 Japa / Devadarshan Victory over enemy, gain of land & Vehicle
Shiva Pooja / Prathana
5 Samaya Gain from land, unnecessary expenditure, Govt penalty
6 Homa /Aradhana Grief, unsocial association
7 Vishnu Pooja / Jaya Excellence in education
Dwirarchane /
8 Vipraradhane Acquisition of Kingdom, land, wealth & prosperity
9 Namaskara Auspicious time, good vehicle
10 Giri Pradhakshina Poverty, quarrel, Govt penalty
11 Vaishvadeva Bad omen, authority, Ascetic life style
12 Athithi Pooja Enjoyment, education, gain of treasure
13 Bhojana Enjoyment, loss of senses
Excellence, Brahmin Pooja,  quarrel, listening to
14 Vidya Prasanga scriptures
15 Kopa / Ahankara Worry / depression, enmity
16 Tamboola Happiness from woman, secret employment, windfall
17 Rajavilasa Victory, experience near God feeling
18 Kireeta dharana Happiness, higher authority, excellence in education
19 Jalapana Happiness, sweet talk
20 Alasya / Thamasa Fear, carelessness, indolence
21 Shayana / Nidra Lack of happiness, excessive anger
22 Madypana Bliss, happiness
23 Gandhalepana Kingdom, acquisition of friends
Dhanarjane /Stree
24 Sallapa Enjoyment, honour, wealth
25 Keerti Enjoyment, gain of wife / children, set backs in tasks
26 Gada Nedre Loss of happiness, Govt penalty
27 Ratna Parikshe Wealth, association with low grade women, deceit
The method of calculating the Graha Samaya is given below. For this let us consider a chart
with following planetary disposition.

Reference Chart

1. Lagna – Tula
2. We want to find the Graha Samaya of Venus.
3. Venus is posited in 6th house from Lagna……Call this ‘A’
4. Count from Mesha where the Lagna is posited.

5. In this case, Lagna is 7th house from Mesha…..Call this ‘B’


6. Add A+B and multiply by 2…. i.e. 6+7=13 multiplied by 2 = 26…Call this ’C’
7. Multiply ‘C’ with the Vimshottari Dash duration of Venus …i.e. 20
8. 26 multiplied by 20 = 520….Call this ‘D’
9. Divide ‘D’ by 27 and note down the remainder……520/27=Remainder is 7
10. Read out the Samaya and its interpretations from the list above.
11. 7 indicates Vishnu Pooja / Jaya which gives excellence in education
Like this we can calculate Graha Samayas for all the planets and get an idea of the general
effects during a particular planet’s Dasha period. If more planets in the Horoscope are in the
unfavourable Samayas, then the overall strength of the horoscope is much reduced.
