In classical Vedic astrology, planetary strength has long been described through qualitative measures—dignity, house placement, aspect, and yoga formation. But what if we could quantify this strength with mathematical clarity while still honoring the soul of Jyotish?
Koundinya Planetary Rupas Analytics (KPRA) is a modern scoring framework that evaluates the net potency of each planet in the D1 natal chart using a comprehensive set of metrics:
Functional placement effects in Dusthanas (3, 6, 11, 12)
Strength is measured in Rupas represented by 'R'.
a) Planet in Exaltation - 60 R.
b) Planet in Own Sign - 50 R.
c) Planet in Friendly Sign - 40 R.
d) Planet in Neutral - 30 R.
e) Planet in Enemy Sign - 20 R.
f) Planet in Debilitation point - 10 R.
2) If following Planets in Retrograde (exclude Rahu & Ketu), must add:
Outer Planets:- Mars , Jupiter and Saturn - 20 R.
Inner Planets:- Mercury and Venus - 10 R.
3) If any of Planets gets Combust within 10° from Sun except Rahu and Ketu, value should be deducted by (-) 25 R.
4) Planetary Aspects:-
a) Planet in conjunction or aspected by Benefics (whether one or many) should multiply by 1.5.
b) Planet in conjunction with or aspected by Malefics (whether be one or many) should be multiplied with 0.75.
c) If Planet in House or Sign gets mixed Aspects of Benefic and Malefic or No aspects, then multiply with 1.
5) Bhavas / House Position of Planets:
a) The Planet placed in Kendra (1,4,7,10) houses should multiply by 1.3.
b)The Planet posited in Panapharas (2,5,8,11) houses should multiply by 1.2.
c) The Planet sitting in Apoklimas (3,6,9,12) houses should be multiplied by 1.
6) Functional Placement of Planets:
a) If Kendra's (1,4,7,10) posited planet is Natural Benefic, it should get an extra (+) 22 R.
b) If Natural Malefic is posited in 3,6,11 & 12 Houses, it gets extra (+) 32 Rupas.
*Natural Benefics are Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Moon and Ketu.
*Natural Malefics are Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu.
*Jupiter, Sun, Mars and Moon are Friends to each other.
*While Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Mercury are Friends with each other.
*Jupiter and Saturn are neutral to each other in their Zodiac Signs.
Note: I am taking here Rahu and Ketu as Planets even though Shadowy figures.
I considered Ketu has Benefic Planet here.
One should also know the Exaltation and Debilitation Signs of each Planet.
KPRA Individual Planet Rupas = (Dr x Hm (±) RC x AC) + Fp.

Scorpio Ascendant | KPRA Interpretation:
Interpretive Highlights
Jupiter (80.5 R) in Aquarius (Kendra) reflects a mind geared toward structured innovation—ideal for finance, teaching, predictive analytics, and systematic wealth-building.
Venus (70.2 R) in Taurus reinforces material stability, attracting luxuries and gains through creative or client-facing roles.
Saturn (69 R) in Scorpio (Kendra, retro) enables deep research and persistence. It favors long-term investments, options trading, or roles requiring probing analysis.
Prediction: Long-term growth is likely in knowledge-based ventures and sectors where logic meets art—exactly the blend your blog and trading work embody. Expect strategic breakthroughs after mastering Saturn’s retro lessons.
B) Relationships & Emotional Arc: Moon, Mars, Venus
Moon (36 R) in Sagittarius signals an adventurous but restless emotional tone. Paired with Mars (48 R), it reflects dynamic interaction—potentially passionate relationships, but requiring conscious emotional maturity.
Venus (strongest benefic) ensures supportive partners but aspects from Saturn may delay or test relationships for karmic maturity.
Prediction: You may attract partners who challenge your ideals but stimulate personal growth. Late bloom love phase with deep intellectual and spiritual compatibility is likely.
C) Intellect & Communication: Mercury, Sun, Rahu
Mercury (9 R) debilitated in Pisces suggests difficulty with rigid reasoning or over-analysis, but great intuition and symbolic thinking—enhancing astrology and narrative crafting.
Sun (77 R) in exaltation confirms strong self-expression, leadership potential, and powerful will.
Rahu (47 R) adds intensity to mental processes, amplifying curiosity but demanding clarity.
Prediction: You shine when blending structured logic (Sun) with abstract insight (Mercury-Rahu). There’s immense potential in thought leadership, writing, and public speaking once mental clutter is mastered.
D) Spiritual Evolution & Karmic Imprints: Ketu, Saturn, Jupiter
Ketu (20 R) in Libra holds clues to past lives oriented around diplomacy or compromise—now asking for deeper purpose.
Jupiter-Ketu aspect (1.5×) elevates spiritual quest through knowledge and intuitive integration.
Saturn retrograde in Scorpio compels internal discipline and uncovering hidden truths.
Prediction: You’re on a path of spiritual self-authentication—not escapism. Expect transformative shifts between ages 36–42, especially as Saturn matures and Jupiter activates deeper wisdom cycles.
Total KPRA Score: 456.70 Rupas — strong planetary ecosystem overall.
By assigning each planet a Rupa score—ranging from poor to exceptional—KPRA transforms abstract interpretations into numeric diagnostics, allowing astrologers, researchers, and predictive analysts to:
Identify dasha lords with true execution power
Diagnose planetary setbacks realistically
Weigh planetary karma across divisional charts
Build predictive dashboards and astro-models
This system echoes the spirit of Ashtakavarga, but with sharper modularity and deeper planetary nuance—bridging classical wisdom with analytical clarity. Whether you're decoding career timelines, health windows, or spiritual capacity, KPRA offers a new lens to read karma with confidence.
