If these planets are in their own terms original: "hadda," referring to the five-fold subdivision of a sign known as 'bounds' in Western astrology or in their own faces original: "mukha," equivalent to decans or ten-degree divisions, they become particularly significant. However, they do not bestow auspicious results if they are located in an enemy's sign or in their sign of fall debilitation. Even when positioned in separate signs, if they are in their own divisions and aspecting one another, they are considered effective.

The five-fold strength Panchavargi: a specialized Tajika system that calculates a planet's power based on five criteria: Home sign, Exaltation, Terms (Hadda), Decan (Drekkana), and Navamsha of these planets is thus determined. According to some authorities, the resulting strength is declared in units known as Vimshopaka: a mathematical system where 20 points represents full strength, used to quantify how much influence a planet has in a chart.
