Next, I will explain lunar fortnight (pakṣa-balam) strength. Calculate the difference by subtracting the Sun's longitude from the Moon's longitude. If this difference exceeds six zodiacal signs (180 degrees), then subtract it from the Sun's longitude (meaning, take the reverse difference to get the shorter arc). Convert this result into degrees and then divide it by three.
