Sahama in Tajika Shastra: Calculation & Significance
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Definition | Sahama refers to special points in a Tajika (annual) horoscope, indicating specific life events and influences. |
| Calculation Method | – Derived using a formula based on the longitude difference between specific planets or houses. – Formula: Sahama = (Longitude of Planet A ± Longitude of Planet B) ± Constant (varies for different Sahamas). – The result is projected onto the zodiac to find the exact degree of the Sahama point. |
| Types of Sahamas | There are many Sahamas, each representing a different aspect of life, such as: – Raja Sahama (Success & Power) – Vijaya Sahama (Victory) – Vitta Sahama (Wealth) – Vidya Sahama (Education) – Satru Sahama (Enemies) – Mrityu Sahama (Death) |
| Interpretation | – The house and sign placement of a Sahama indicate its strength and effect. – If a benefic planet aspects or conjoins it, favorable results occur. – If a malefic planet influences it, challenges arise in the related area. |
| Practical Use in Tajika | – Used in Varshaphala (annual horoscopy) to predict key life events. – Sahama points are compared with planetary transits to determine periods of activation. – Helps in Muhurta (timing) and remedial astrology. |
Here are the formulas for the major Sahamas in Tajika Shastra, along with their meanings and significance:

How to Use Sahamas in Predictions:
- Locate the Sahama in the annual chart (Varshaphala).
- Check the Ruler of that Sahama and its strength in the chart.
- Examine Aspects from benefic and malefic planets to interpret its impact.
- See Planetary Transits over the Sahama degree to time important events.
Example Calculation of Vivaha Sahama (Marriage Point)
Formula for Vivaha Sahama:
Vivaha Sahama=Ascendant+Venus−Jupiter\text{Vivaha Sahama} = \text{Ascendant} + \text{Venus} – \text{Jupiter}Vivaha Sahama=Ascendant+Venus−Jupiter
(Where Ascendant, Venus, and Jupiter are their respective longitudes in degrees.)
Step-by-Step Calculation Example:
Assume the following planetary positions in a horoscope:
- Ascendant (Lagna) = 120° (Leo 0°)
- Venus = 210° (Libra 0°)
- Jupiter = 150° (Virgo 0°)
Now, applying the formula: Vivaha Sahama=120°+210°−150°\text{Vivaha Sahama} = 120° + 210° – 150°Vivaha Sahama=120°+210°−150° =180°= 180°=180°
180° corresponds to Libra 0°, meaning the Vivaha Sahama falls in Libra.
Interpretation & Importance of Vivaha Sahama:
- Sign Placement: If placed in a favorable sign (Taurus, Libra, Pisces), marriage is auspicious and harmonious.
- House Placement: If it falls in the 7th house, marriage may occur early. In the 6th or 8th house, delays or obstacles may arise.
- Aspects & Conjunctions:
- Benefic influence (Venus, Jupiter, Moon) → Happy and prosperous marriage.
- Malefic influence (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) → Delays, separation, or difficulties in marriage.
- Activation: Marriage is likely when transiting Jupiter or Venus aspects the Vivaha Sahama.
