Anshayuradaya: Understanding Longevity Calculation in Vedic Astrology

By: Vedajyot Research Mandal — led by founder Sneha Shukla

Anshayuradaya (Longevity Calculation)

In calculating the lifespan potential (Anshayuradaya) contributed by planets, certain adjustments are applied. Here’s a breakdown of these calculations:

Adjustments

Spiritual Illumination: Halve the lifespan potential if the planet experiences combustion.
Challenging Sign: Reduce by one third if the planet is in a challenging sign.
Visible Half of Zodiac: Further adjustments apply if the planet is placed in the visible half of the Zodiac, counted from the 12th house backwards to the 7th house.

Enhancements

Deep Alignment or Own Sign: Triple the lifespan potential if the planet is in deep alignment or its own sign.
Own Navamsha or Decanate: Double the lifespan potential if the planet is in its own Navamsha or decanate.
Combination of Conditions: If both alignment and own Navamsha conditions occur, lifespan potential is tripled only once.

Special Considerations

If both adjustments apply, only half the adjustment is taken.

These rules yield the calculated lifespan (Spashta Ayu) of human beings.

Lifespan of Other Living Beings

The lifespan of other living beings is expressed as a full span of years:

Divine Beings: Endless lifespan.
Eagles, Owls, Parrots, Crows, Snakes: 1000 years.
Falcons, Monkeys, Bears, Frogs: 300 years.
Mystical Creatures: 150 years.
Humans and Elephants: 120 years.
Horses: 32 years.
Donkeys and Camels: 25 years.
Oxen and Buffaloes: 24 years.
Peacocks: 20 years.
Goats and Rams: 16 years.
Swans: 14 years.
Cuckoos and Dogs: 8 years.
Certain Other Creatures: 7 years.

The lifespan so calculated for other beings is multiplied by their full span and divided by the human full span to get their effective lifespan.
