💞Preeti Saham (Point of Affection) Calculator

The sensitive point of love, warmth and mutual regard

Preeti Saham marks the degree of affection and warmth — love as steady regard rather than as passion. Like Mitra Saham it is built from two other Sahams, but projected from the Ascendant, which brings the reading back to the native personally.

Formula

Vidya Saham − Punya Saham + Ascendant. The same formula applies to day and night births alike.

How to Read It

Contrast with Manmatha Saham: Manmatha is desire and attraction, Preeti is affection and steady regard. Read both with Venus and the 7th house.

Three Pillars of Preeti (Affection) Strength

👑

Lord Dignity

Preeti (Affection) lands in a different sign for every chart. When that sign's lord is exalted or in its own sign, this Saham backs its theme fully; when the lord is debilitated or heavily afflicted, the same theme meets resistance.

📍

House Placement

Where Preeti (Affection) falls matters as much as its lord. In kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) or trikonas (1, 5, 9) it tends to act directly and visibly; in dusthanas (6, 8, 12) the same energy still exists but works through obstacles, competition or delay rather than ease.

🔗

Cross-Check

No Saham is read in isolation. Preeti (Affection) is always cross-checked against the 5th and 7th houses and Venus before drawing a conclusion — a sensitive point is a clue, not a verdict on its own.

Myths vs Reality

✗ A well-placed Preeti (Affection) guarantees an easy life in this area.

✓ It lowers resistance, not effort — opportunities tend to arrive more naturally, but the work of acting on them still remains.

✗ A weak Preeti (Affection) is a permanent curse.

✓ A chart carries dozens of relevant factors — this Saham is one data point, not the whole picture. The actual house and its lord remain the primary indicators either way.

✗ Preeti (Affection) alone is enough to make a major life decision.

✓ Classical practice always reads it alongside the relevant house, its lord, and the applicable Dasha period — never as a standalone signal.

What If Preeti (Affection) Is Weakly Placed?

A weak Preeti (Affection) does not mean this life area is closed off — it means results here tend to come through deliberate effort rather than natural ease. Check the 5th and 7th houses and Venus directly: they carry the primary promise, with this Saham only a secondary refinement on top.

Preeti Saham (Point of Affection) Calculator — FAQ

How is Preeti different from Manmatha Saham?

Manmatha concerns passion and attraction; Preeti concerns affection and warmth. Relationships often show one strongly and the other weakly, which is why the tradition keeps two points.

Which Sahams must be computed first?

Both Vidya Saham and Punya Saham are inputs — the same pair Mitra Saham uses, but projected from the Ascendant instead of Venus.

Can I check Preeti (Affection) without an accurate birth time?

No — Sahams are extremely sensitive to the Ascendant degree, which changes roughly every 2 hours. Even a 15-minute error in birth time can shift this Saham into a different house. An accurate birth time is essential.

Will this Saham show the same result in every astrology app?

Minor differences are possible — the ayanamsha used (we use Lahiri), the precision of the birthplace coordinates, and rounding can shift the final degree by a few arcminutes, though the sign and house usually stay stable.
