Mars/Saturn Conjunction and Judging the Success of the Development of the Nodal Axis

So insightful! Thinking exactly what was written above, more things to study, but that's ok since I've only started 🙂

Question: Would strength be measured in dignity or shadbala to assess the success in working the nodal axis? For example, I have Sa Ma conjunction in Scorpio lagna, so Saturn is in GE sign and Mars in OH, so Mars is stronger. BUT! In shadbala table Mars is ranked 3 while Saturn is 1st and in the LA table Mars has -202 and Saturn +551 shadbala...
