Sahamas are special sensitive points calculated within a horoscope based on specific planetary positions. They hold a significant place in Vedic astrology, believed to highlight specific areas of a person’s life, such as wealth, health, marriage, or other life events. To evaluate Sahamas, one must follow a set of formulas or mathematical principles laid down in ancient texts, using planetary longitudes and positions in the zodiac.
In practice, the astrologer calculates Sahamas by combining the positions of certain planets based on the person’s birth chart. The resultant point in the zodiac signifies a key area where important events or influences are likely to occur. These Sahamas often relate to predictive astrology, giving insights into specific time periods or events in life.
When Sahamas are linked with specific houses in the birth chart, they amplify the effects of the planets governing those houses. Their importance lies in giving detailed predictions related to individual aspects of a person’s journey, like professional success, relationships, and health, based on planetary strength and placements.
