ASHTAKAVARGA PREDICTION
Ashtakavarga is a very sophisticated and unique transit system. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. In Vedic Astrology, there is such a plethora of techniques to choose from. According to Parasara, to make the process of prediction a lot simpler, Ashtakavarga can be used. To practice Ashtakavarga effectively, it is important to be very familiar with the qualities and actions of each planet as a karaka and the qualities and actions of each house. This is the key. In Ashtakavarga, Varga charts are not used. A transit of a planet through a Sign has many layers of meanings. For example, when Jupiter is transiting a Sign, you judge the effect of Jupiter transiting to all the planets plus the Ascendant. You judge the transit of Jupiter to not only the natal Moon, as in Gochara, but also to the natal Sun, natal Mars, natal Mercury, natal Jupiter, natal Venus, natal Saturn and the Ascendant. The transit of Jupiter is judged from eight places, hence the name of Ashtaka (Eight) Varga (Divisions). A planet is favorable or unfavorable from where it is transiting from a particular planet. Ashtakavarga is more important than Gochara. It is a more precise measurement because it measures a planet’s strength from every planet, not just the Moon. Gochara is just 1/8 of Ashtakavarga. If a planet is transiting a house with high points in Ashtakavarga, but a bad house from the Moon (Gochara), then the results of Ashtakavarga trump the results obtained from Gochara. For example, Saturn transiting the 12th, 1st and 2nd from the Moon is considered inauspicious, but Saturn may be very auspicious in other respects, as in the case of Saturn transiting a house with high Ashtakavaraga points. In this case, Saturn would be able to perform very well and give auspicious results. Ashtakavarga takes a more accurate and holistic look at the transiting planets than just those transits from the natal Moon. A planet transits a sign. Based on this placement, it either receives a 1 or a 0 depending on whether it is auspicious or inauspicious from a certain planet. For example, Saturn transits Aries and in the birth chart, Saturn is in Cancer. Saturn in the 10th from itself is not auspicious, so Aries received 0 points. Whenever a planet is transiting a sign with low points, low points being below 4, it is always going to give trouble to that sign and trouble to the planet’s significations. 0, 1, 2, or 3 points = Bad; 4 points =Average; 5, 6, 7, or 8 points = Good. Jupiter will tend to have more than 4 pts in every sign. Saturn will rarely have more than 4. Jupiter and Venus are favorable in transit to most planets and Saturn is unfavorable in transit to most planets. The following is a tabulation of where each planets give points from it’s natal placement, from all the other planets’ natal placements and from the Ascendant.

Saturn Saturn gives a point to the following houses from himself: 3rd, 5th, 6th and 11th. From

For each planet, add up all of the points given and combine them into one chart. Each planet should have a chart with its corresponding Ashtakavarga points. In each house, the points will number between 0 and 8. 0 – 3 is inauspicious, 4 is average, and 5 – 8 is auspicious. When a planet transits a house where it gives more than 4 points, then it will affect that house and its inherent significations positively. The most important planets to watch for transits are Saturn, Jupiter, and the dasa lord. If you want to know about a specific area of life, like for example vehicles, you would also look at the transit of the house lord. For vehicles, watch the transit of the 4th lord and Venus. When these two planets transit houses that have 4 or more points, then you will have auspicious experiences with vehicles. When these two planets transit a house with 3 or less points, a person would have inauspicious experiences with vehicles. Determining Important Ages Important ages are best explained by using an example. Let us take for our example Jupiter. To find the important ages for Jupiter, add up all the points in each house beginning with the Ascendant to the house that contains Jupiter. The total of those points will give an important age in the person’s life for Jupiterian things, like wealth, children, knowledge, religion or philosophy, finding a spiritual teacher, meeting one’s husband if the person in question is a woman. The second step is to add up all points from Jupiter to the Ascendant and that will also be a very important age for Jupiterian things. Then we combine all of the points we just added up and that will also be an important year for Jupiter. The ancient texts say that the ages of Saturn are the most important ages. These are the times the person meets with many Saturnian experiences. The person will experience long term, life changing events in these years. Auspicious Directions Each planet’s Ashtakavarga has auspicious directions. For example if Venus has the most Ashtakavarga points, in Libra and Pisces, then a person will have more luck with Venusian type things like romance, the bedroom and comfort from the directions of West and SE, because Libra rules the West and Pisces rules SouthEast. The directions are tabulated based upon the South Indian Rasi Chart and the movement of the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Sun is at the farthest North, it is in Cancer and Leo, when it is farthest South, when it is coldest, it is in Capricorn and Aquarius. There is another system as well that is based upon the elements – fire signs rule the East, earth signs rule the South, water signs rule the North and air signs rule the West. The auspicious directions method can be effective when used in relationship with your home. Another example would be Jupiter having the most Ashtakavarga points in Capricorn. In this case, keeping your valuable in the South of your home would increase your wealth. Important Transits The house from the karaka is always a pertinent house. For example, Jupiter rules many
things like wealth, income, children, well-being of the husband for a woman. The 2nd house is wealth, the 11th house is income, the 5th house is children and the 7th house is the husband. The 2nd house from Jupiter will be an important house for wealth. The 11th house from Jupiter will be an important house for income. The 5th house from Jupiter will be an important house for children. The 9th house from Jupiter will be an important house for knowledge. Let us say Jupiter is in Libra. So Scorpio will become an important house for wealth. However, in the Ashtakavarga system, it is a little more tricky than simply just looking at the house from the karaka. We must find the sensitive houses of transit for each planet. To do this, it is necessary to find something called the Yoga Pinda. It is a rather tedious process to do this by hand and most Vedic Astrological Software will calculate the yoga pinda. The method is also explained in BPHS in chapters 69 – 71. Continuing with Jupiter in Libra as our example, multiply the yoga pinda by the Ashtakavarga points in the sign from Jupiter you want to know about. If you want to know about wealth, take the Ashtakavarga points for Scorpio, the 2nd from Libra. If you want to know about children, take the Asktakavarga points for Aquarius, the 5th from Libra. Take the total of the Ashtakavarga points multiplied by the yoga pinda and divide by 12. The remainder is the number of the sign as counted from Aries. So any planet transiting that sign is a sensitive point when it comes to the significations of that house from the karaka. For example Jupiter has a Yoga pinda of 98. If we want to look at the income, we take the 11th from Jupiter and Jupiter is in a sign of Libra so the 11th from it is Leo. The Ashtaka for Jupiter in Leo is 4, so multiply 4 x 98 = 392. Now divide 392 by 12 = 32 and remainder is 8. So the 8th sign of Scorpio is a very sensitive place in respect to the income for planets to transit. A planet is going to have some effect transiting these sensitive houses based on the method shown above. What type of effect will they have? It depends upon the Ashtakavarga points that the planet has in that house. Using the example above, if a planet is transiting Scorpio and we want to know if that planet will harm or help the income, we look to see how many Ashtakavarga points that transiting planet is giving the sign of Scorpio. If it is over 4 points, then the planet will give beneficial results. If it is 3 or less, then there will be some stress experienced when dealing with income. The stress will be through its natural significations and through its lordship of house. For example, if it is Venus transiting Scorpio, then women, vehicles, students and/or the love life will cause stress to the income. Saturn and Jupiter transits are the ones you want to look at first. Saturn and Jupiter are planets that orient us toward our destiny. When Jupiter is transiting, then it is making us look forward to that realm of life and expanding that realm of life. Saturn transiting will force us to face that area of life and we will have a lot of responsibilities in that area of life even if we do not want them. Saturn is our duty and responsibilities and Jupiter is our excitement and hope. In any sign Jupiter is in, it will open us up to any possibilities of that house. Jupiter makes us expand in that direction. Saturn closes us off and narrows the path. As stated above, to ascertain if Saturn or Jupiter will be good in transit, you must assess the number of points the planet is giving to the Sign.
Let’s take Venus for relationships. In this example, Venus occupies Aries, so we take the 7th from Venus which is Libra. The yoga pinda for Venus = 96. The Ashtakavarga points for Venus in Libra is 5. 5 x 96 = 480. Divide this by 12 = 40 and there is no remainder. If there is no remainder then we take 12 as the number of the sign. This is Pisces, therefore when planets are transiting Pisces, they influence the relationship life because Pisces is a sensitive house for relationships. The 2nd from Venus is healthy and nourishing food. The 4th from Venus is the swimming pool and interior decoration. 4th from Venus also has to do with automobiles. Home is 4th from Mars. Every planet is a karaka for a bhava but some are less important than others. When the Sun transits a sensitive bhava (house), that indicates the month that the relative event will happen. The Sun is a timing system. You can also use the Moon to time the event within 2 and a half days. Jupiter indicates the year that an event could happen. Saturn is important in timing when something leaves our life or when we are forced into responsibilities regarding the house from the karaka Saturn is transiting. When Saturn transits sensitive points, usually destiny will force a change on our lives. Mars shows when we have to fight for something. Venus shows when we relax and get nourished. Mercury will show when we will improve upon that thing. The Lagna can be used for timing the 2 hour period. Not only is the sign in question a sensitive point but also the trines to that sign. For example, for income, the sensitive sign for that is Scorpio, so Scorpio’s trines, Pisces and Cancer are also sensitive places for income. Also look at the Mahadasa lord and where he is transiting. He will have an important impact on life events. Treat it like Jupiter. He will stimulate and expand that house when the dasa lord es through that house or its trines. Everything that has just been written about Ashtakavarga for the signs can also be applied to the Nakshatras. In the yoga pinda method of finding the sensitive Nakshatras, instead of dividing by 12 we divide by 27. Classical texts tell us to look at the 8th from Saturn. When a planets transits the sensitive signs for the 8th house from Saturn, it can be difficult time for the health and physical well-being of the native. Ashtakavarga chart to be verified and find out the strenth of each houses. The important houses are 1st the Lagna, 2nd dhana sthana, 4th sukha sthana, 9 Bhagya sthana,10 Karma sthana and 11th Labha sthana. If the total of houses counting on 1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th comes above 170 means yoga for being rich and above 175 means yoga for very rich. If the total of 1st,9th and 11th is higher than that of 6th 8th and 12th a successful life is assured generally. And if 6, 8 and 12 is higher then full of struggle without much success. 1st house should be definitely higher than that of individually 6th, 8th or 12th for a smoother life. 9th luck, 10th karma, 11th labha and 12th expenses.
All kendras and trikonas should have ashtakavarga strength other than 2nd and 11th. so 10th should be equal or more than 9th and 11th(income) should be more than 10th(Karma/profession) and 12th(expenses) should be less than 11(income) and then the horoscope promises for a steady finance life.

Ashtakavarga In Vedic Astrology, Ashtakvarga finds important place. This is a great aid to Vedic Astrology particularly for timing the event through transiting planets. Besides, it indicates the strength of planets as well as houses. Ashtakvarga is a samskrit word that can be divided into two syllables - one is Ashtak (Eight) and other is Varga (Chart.). So meaning of Ashtakvarga is Eight Charts. In Ashtakvarga, there are 8 source of reference - 7 planets only (Rahu & Ketu are shadow planets) and one Lagna. Lagna is something that has to perceive all the affects of all seven planets as per their accidental position in the horoscope. In return Lagna also
influences planets. This is why Parashara has advocated to consider eight source of energy (7 planets & 1 Lagna) in Ashtakavarga. In this system, each and every planet including Lagna influences one and another in particular way or other w.r.t their natal position. In any horoscope ascendant is taken as the epitom of promises therein. So when Lagna is got influenced obviously other houses, which are in existence only due to Lagna, also get influenced. When such influence is to be shown in charts, eight charts are needed to prepare which are known Ashtakvarga. Through Ashtakavarga, an astrologer studies and quantifies the mutual influence of planets in Prastar Ashtakvarga, Bhinnashtaka Varga, Sarvashtakavarga and Samuday Ashtakvarga (for Gochar) with respect to their accidental placement in the Sign and Houses. In Vedic Astrology, there is no other astrological aid that reveals so demonstratively the matter under consideration. This is why, it has been said that through Ashtakavarga, even a dull astrologer also can predict the thing accurately.
Ashtakavarga Ashtakavarga is a unique and accurate method used for predictions through transits, in vedic astrology taught by "Sage Parasara". Ashta means eight and varga means division/group. Ashtakavarga uses 7 planets(sun,moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn) and lagna for its calculations and chaaya graha rahu and ketu are omitted. In ashtakavarga calculation each rasi is divided into 8 parts or division. Each division has a span of 3:45'. The 1st division of each rasi is ruled by saturn, the 2nd division of each rasi is ruled by jupiter, the 3rd division of each rasi is ruled by mars, the 4th division of each rasi is ruled by sun, the 5th division of each rasi is ruled by venus, the 6th division of each rasi is ruled by mercury, the 7th division of each rasi is ruled by moon, the 8th division of each rasi is ruled by the lagna. Gochara is just 1/8 of ashtakavarga, thus ashtakavarga predictions are more accurate as it calculates the strength of a planet from every planet and lagna, but not just from moon. If a transiting planet has high points in ashtakavarga and has a weak / bad placement of house from gochara, the native is bestowed with auspicious results according to ashtakavarga points. List of points for auspicious and inauspicious results in ashtakavarga charts. Inauspicious or bad if a planet scores 0,1,2,3 points. Average or mixed results are expected if a planet scores 4 points. Auspicious or good results are expected if a planet scores 5,6,7,8 points.

In ashtakavarga of sun, if strong sun scores highest points, then the native will be a great politician or vip. In ashtakavarga of moon, if strong moon scores highest points, then the native will possess a strong mind and will be well known for that.
In ashtakavarga of mars, if strong mars scores highest points, then the native will be a great leader, commander or ceo. In ashtakavarga of mercury, if strong mercury scores highest points, then the native will be well known orator and writer who possess excellent communication skills. In ashtakavarga of jupiter, if strong jupiter scores highest points, then the native will be well known consultant, teacher, professor, guru, master. In ashtakavarga of venus, if strong venus scores highest points, then the native will possess vehicles, palaces and always surrounded by beautiful things / objects. In ashtakavarga of saturn, if strong saturn scores highest points, then the native will lead / head mass of people, an industrialist or own huge acres of lands. If 1st house or lagna has has highest points , then the native will be independent and successful or viceversa. If the 12th house has least points, it is considered to be good as it is the house of profit and losses. If the 10th house has equal or more points than 9th house and 11th house should possess more points than 10th and 12th house should have lower points than 11th, then financial prosperity and growth is considered. Ashtakavarga is a very sophisticated and unique transit system. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. In Vedic Astrology, there is such a plethora of techniques to choose from.

A planet transits a sign. Based on this placement, it either receives a 1 or a 0 depending on whether it is auspicious or inauspicious from a certain planet. For example, Saturn transits Aries and in the birth chart, Saturn is in Cancer. Saturn in the 10th from itself is not auspicious, so Aries received 0 points. Whenever a planet is transiting a sign with low points, low points being below 4, it is always going to give trouble to that sign and trouble to the planet’s significations. 0, 1, 2, or 3 points = Bad; 4 points =Average; 5, 6, 7, or 8 points = Good. Jupiter will tend to have more than 4 pts in every sign. Saturn will rarely have more than 4. Jupiter and Venus are favorable in transit to most planets and Saturn is unfavorable in transit to most planets.

Venus Venus gives a point to the following houses from himself: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. From the Sun: 8th, 11th and 12th. From the Moon: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th. From Mars: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 11th and 12th. From Mercury: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th and 11th. From Jupiter: 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. From Saturn: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. From the Ascendant: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th.
Saturn Saturn gives a point to the following houses from himself: 3rd, 5th, 6th and 11th. From the Sun: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th. From the Moon: 3rd, 6th and 11th. From Mars: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 10th, 11th and 12th. From Mercury: 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. From Jupiter: 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th. From Venus: 6th, 11th and 12th. From the Ascendant: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 10th and 11th. For each planet, add up all of the points given and combine them into one chart. Each planet should have a chart with its corresponding Ashtakavarga points. In each house, the points will number between 0 and 8. 0 – 3 is inauspicious, 4 is average, and 5 – 8 is auspicious. When a planet transits a house where it gives more than 4 points, then it will affect that house and its inherent significations positively. The most important planets to watch for transits are Saturn, Jupiter, and the dasa lord. If you want to know about a specific area of life, like for example vehicles, you would also look at the transit of the house lord. For vehicles, watch the transit of the 4th lord and Venus. When these two planets transit houses that have 4 or more points, then you will have auspicious
experiences with vehicles. When these two planets transit a house with 3 or less points, a person would have inauspicious experiences with vehicles.
Determining Important Ages Important ages are best explained by using an example. Let us take for our example Jupiter. To find the important ages for Jupiter, add up all the points in each house beginning with the Ascendant to the house that contains Jupiter. The total of those points will give an important age in the person’s life for Jupiterian things, like wealth, children, knowledge, religion or philosophy, finding a spiritual teacher, meeting one’s husband if the person in question is a woman. The second step is to add up all points from Jupiter to the Ascendant and that will also be a very important age for Jupiterian things. Then we combine all of the points we just added up and that will also be an important year for Jupiter. The ancient texts say that the ages of Saturn are the most important ages. These are the times the person meets with many Saturnian experiences. The person will experience long term, life changing events in these years.
Auspicious Directions Each planet’s Ashtakavarga has auspicious directions. For example if Venus has the most Ashtakavarga points, in Libra and Pisces, then a person will have more luck with Venusian type things like romance, the bedroom and comfort from the directions of West and SE, because Libra rules the West and Pisces rules SouthEast. The directions are tabulated based upon the South Indian Rasi Chart and the movement of the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Sun is at the farthest North, it is in Cancer and Leo, when it is farthest South, when it is coldest, it is in Capricorn and Aquarius. There is another system as well that is based upon the elements – fire signs rule the East, earth signs rule the South, water signs rule the North and air signs rule the West. The auspicious directions method can be effective when used in relationship with your home. Another example would be Jupiter having the most Ashtakavarga points in Capricorn. In this case, keeping your valuable in the South of your home would increase your wealth.
Important Transits The house from the karaka is always a pertinent house. For example, Jupiter rules many things like wealth, income, children, well-being of the husband for a woman. The 2nd house is wealth, the 11th house is income, the 5th house is children and the 7th house is the husband. The 2nd house from Jupiter will be an important house for wealth. The 11th house from Jupiter will be an important house for income. The 5th house from Jupiter will be an important house for children. The 9th house from Jupiter will be an important house for knowledge. Let us say Jupiter is in Libra. So Scorpio will become an important house for wealth. However, in the Ashtakavarga system, it is a little more tricky than simply just looking at the house from the karaka. We must find the sensitive houses of transit for each planet. To do this, it is necessary to find something called the Yoga Pinda. It is a rather tedious process to do this by hand and most Vedic Astrological
Software will calculate the yoga pinda. The method is also explained in BPHS in chapters 69 – 71. Continuing with Jupiter in Libra as our example, multiply the yoga pinda by the Ashtakavarga points in the sign from Jupiter you want to know about. If you want to know about wealth, take the Ashtakavarga points for Scorpio, the 2nd from Libra. If you want to know about children, take the Asktakavarga points for Aquarius, the 5th from Libra. Take the total of the Ashtakavarga points multiplied by the yoga pinda and divide by 12. The remainder is the number of the sign as counted from Aries. So any planet transiting that sign is a sensitive point when it comes to the significations of that house from the karaka. For example Jupiter has a Yoga pinda of 98. If we want to look at the income, we take the 11th from Jupiter and Jupiter is in a sign of Libra so the 11th from it is Leo. The Ashtaka for Jupiter in Leo is 4, so multiply 4 x 98 = 392. Now divide 392 by 12 = 32 and remainder is 8. So the 8th sign of Scorpio is a very sensitive place in respect to the income for planets to transit. A planet is going to have some effect transiting these sensitive houses based on the method shown above. What type of effect will they have? It depends upon the Ashtakavarga points that the planet has in that house. Using the example above, if a planet is transiting Scorpio and we want to know if that planet will harm or help the income, we look to see how many Ashtakavarga points that transiting planet is giving the sign of Scorpio. If it is over 4 points, then the planet will give beneficial results. If it is 3 or less, then there will be some stress experienced when dealing with income. The stress will be through its natural significations and through its lordship of house. For example, if it is Venus transiting Scorpio, then women, vehicles, students and/or the love life will cause stress to the income. Saturn and Jupiter transits are the ones you want to look at first. Saturn and Jupiter are planets that orient us toward our destiny. When Jupiter is transiting, then it is making us look forward to that realm of life and expanding that realm of life. Saturn transiting will force us to face that area of life and we will have a lot of responsibilities in that area of life even if we do not want them. Saturn is our duty and responsibilities and Jupiter is our excitement and hope. In any sign Jupiter is in, it will open us up to any possibilities of that house. Jupiter makes us expand in that direction. Saturn closes us off and narrows the path. As stated above, to ascertain if Saturn or Jupiter will be good in transit, you must assess the number of points the planet is giving to the Sign. Let’s take Venus for relationships. In this example, Venus occupies Aries, so we take the 7th from Venus which is Libra. The yoga pinda for Venus = 96. The Ashtakavarga points for Venus in Libra is 5. 5 x 96 = 480. Divide this by 12 = 40 and there is no remainder. If there is no remainder then we take 12 as the number of the sign. This is Pisces, therefore when planets are transiting Pisces, they influence the relationship life because Pisces is a sensitive house for relationships. The 2nd from Venus is healthy and nourishing food. The 4th from Venus is the swimming pool and interior decoration. 4th from Venus also has to do with automobiles. Home is 4th from Mars. Every planet is a karaka for a bhava but some are less important than others.
When the Sun transits a sensitive bhava (house), that indicates the month that the relative event will happen. The Sun is a timing system. You can also use the Moon to time the event within 2 and a half days. Jupiter indicates the year that an event could happen. Saturn is important in timing when something leaves our life or when we are forced into responsibilities regarding the house from the karaka Saturn is transiting. When Saturn transits sensitive points, usually destiny will force a change on our lives. Mars shows when we have to fight for something. Venus shows when we relax and get nourished. Mercury will show when we will improve upon that thing. The Lagna can be used for timing the 2 hour period. Not only is the sign in question a sensitive point but also the trines to that sign. For example, for income, the sensitive sign for that is Scorpio, so Scorpio’s trines, Pisces and Cancer are also sensitive places for income. Also look at the Mahadasa lord and where he is transiting. He will have an important impact on life events. Treat it like Jupiter. He will stimulate and expand that house when the dasa lord es through that house or its trines. Everything that has just been written about Ashtakavarga for the signs can also be applied to the Nakshatras. In the yoga pinda method of finding the sensitive Nakshatras, instead of dividing by 12 we divide by 27. Classical texts tell us to look at the 8th from Saturn. When a planets transits the sensitive signs for the 8th house from Saturn, it can be difficult time for the health and physical well-being of the native.
Ashtak warga principles and your life Take sarvashtak varga score of 1st ,5th and 9th its called bandhu 2nd ,6th and 10th its called Sevaka 3rd ,7th ans 11th its called poshaka 4th ,8th and 12th its called Ghatka. Adding up bindus if you have your Bandhu score higher than the Sevaka that means you have independent source of living. If sevaka is higher than you lead a life of servitude that means you serve others. Similarly if Poshka is strong than ghatka it meansthe person is wealthy. In jyotish we have different division like Dharma,Artha,Kama and Moksha The observation is that if you have sevaka Artha strong that means person is wealthy.
Ashtakavarga is a very sophisticated and unique transit system. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. In Vedic Astrology, there is such a plethora of techniques to choose from. According to Parasara, to make the process of prediction a lot simpler, Ashtakavarga can be used. To practice Ashtakavarga effectively, it is important to be very familiar with the qualities and actions of each planet as a karaka and the qualities and actions of each house. This is the key. In Ashtakavarga, Varga charts are not used. A transit of a planet through a Sign has many layers of meanings. For example, when Jupiter is transiting a Sign, you judge the effect of Jupiter transiting to all the planets plus the Ascendant. You judge the transit of Jupiter to not only the natal Moon, as in Gochara, but also to the natal Sun, natal Mars, natal Mercury, natal Jupiter, natal Venus, natal Saturn and the Ascendant. The transit of Jupiter is judged from eight places, hence the name of Ashtaka (Eight) Varga (Divisions). A planet is favorable or unfavorable from where it is transiting from a particular planet. Ashtakavarga is more important than Gochara. It is a more precise measurement because it measures a planet’s strength from every planet, not just the Moon. Gochara is just 1/8 of Ashtakavarga. If a planet is transiting a house with high points in Ashtakavarga, but a bad house from the Moon (Gochara), then the results of Ashtakavarga trump the results obtained from Gochara. For example, Saturn transiting the 12th, 1st and 2nd from the Moon is considered inauspicious, but Saturn may be very auspicious in other respects, as in the case of Saturn transiting a house with high Ashtakavaraga points. In this case, Saturn would be able to perform very well and give auspicious results. Ashtakavarga takes a more accurate and holistic look at the transiting planets than just those transits from the natal Moon. A planet transits a sign. Based on this placement, it either receives a 1 or a 0 depending on whether it is auspicious or inauspicious from a certain planet. For example, Saturn transits Aries and in the birth chart, Saturn is in Cancer. Saturn in the 10th from itself is not auspicious, so Aries received 0 points. Whenever a planet is transiting a sign with low points, low points being below 4, it is always going to give trouble to that sign and trouble to the planet’s significations. 0, 1, 2, or 3 points = Bad; 4 points =Average; 5, 6, 7, or 8 points = Good. Jupiter will tend to have more than 4 pts in every sign. Saturn will rarely have more than 4. Jupiter and Venus are favorable in transit to most planets and Saturn is unfavorable in transit to most planets. The following is a tabulation of where each planets give points from it’s natal placement, from all the other planets’ natal placements and from the Ascendant.

Saturn Saturn gives a point to the following houses from himself: 3rd, 5th, 6th and 11th. From
the Sun: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th. From the Moon: 3rd, 6th and 11th. From Mars: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 10th, 11th and 12th. From Mercury: 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th.

For each planet, add up all of the points given and combine them into one chart. Each planet should have a chart with its corresponding Ashtakavarga points. In each house, the points will number between 0 and 8. 0 – 3 is inauspicious, 4 is average, and 5 – 8 is auspicious. When a planet transits a house where it gives more than 4 points, then it will affect that house and its inherent significations positively. The most important planets to watch for transits are Saturn, Jupiter, and the dasa lord. If you want to know about a specific area of life, like for example vehicles, you would also look at the transit of the house lord. For vehicles, watch the transit of the 4th lord and Venus. When these two planets transit houses that have 4 or more points, then you will have auspicious experiences with vehicles. When these two planets transit a house with 3 or less points, a person would have inauspicious experiences with vehicles. Determining Important Ages Important ages are best explained by using an example. Let us take for our example Jupiter. To find the important ages for Jupiter, add up all the points in each house beginning with the Ascendant to the house that contains Jupiter. The total of those points will give an important age in the person’s life for Jupiterian things, like wealth, children, knowledge, religion or philosophy, finding a spiritual teacher, meeting one’s husband if the person in question is a woman. The second step is to add up all points from Jupiter to the Ascendant and that will also be a very important age for Jupiterian things. Then we combine all of the points we just added up and that will also be an important year for Jupiter. The ancient texts say that the ages of Saturn are the most important ages. These are the times the person meets with many Saturnian experiences. The person will experience long term, life changing events in these years. Auspicious Directions Each planet’s Ashtakavarga has auspicious directions. For example if Venus has the most Ashtakavarga points, in Libra and Pisces, then a person will have more luck with Venusian type things like romance, the bedroom and comfort from the directions of West and SE, because Libra rules the West and Pisces rules SouthEast. The directions are tabulated based upon the South Indian Rasi Chart and the movement of the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Sun is at the farthest North, it is in Cancer and Leo, when it is farthest South, when it is coldest, it is in Capricorn and Aquarius. There is another system as well that is based upon the elements – fire signs rule the East, earth signs rule the South, water signs rule the North and air signs rule the West. The auspicious directions method can be effective when used in relationship with your home. Another example would be Jupiter having the most Ashtakavarga points in Capricorn. In this case, keeping your valuable in the South of your home would increase your wealth. Important Transits The house from the karaka is always a pertinent house. For example, Jupiter rules many
things like wealth, income, children, well-being of the husband for a woman. The 2nd house is wealth, the 11th house is income, the 5th house is children and the 7th house is the husband. The 2nd house from Jupiter will be an important house for wealth. The 11th house from Jupiter will be an important house for income. The 5th house from Jupiter will be an important house for children. The 9th house from Jupiter will be an important house for knowledge. Let us say Jupiter is in Libra. So Scorpio will become an important house for wealth. However, in the Ashtakavarga system, it is a little more tricky than simply just looking at the house from the karaka. We must find the sensitive houses of transit for each planet. To do this, it is necessary to find something called the Yoga Pinda. It is a rather tedious process to do this by hand and most Vedic Astrological Software will calculate the yoga pinda. The method is also explained in BPHS in chapters 69 – 71. Continuing with Jupiter in Libra as our example, multiply the yoga pinda by the Ashtakavarga points in the sign from Jupiter you want to know about. If you want to know about wealth, take the Ashtakavarga points for Scorpio, the 2nd from Libra. If you want to know about children, take the Asktakavarga points for Aquarius, the 5th from Libra. Take the total of the Ashtakavarga points multiplied by the yoga pinda and divide by 12. The remainder is the number of the sign as counted from Aries. So any planet transiting that sign is a sensitive point when it comes to the significations of that house from the karaka. For example Jupiter has a Yoga pinda of 98. If we want to look at the income, we take the 11th from Jupiter and Jupiter is in a sign of Libra so the 11th from it is Leo. The Ashtaka for Jupiter in Leo is 4, so multiply 4 x 98 = 392. Now divide 392 by 12 = 32 and remainder is 8. So the 8th sign of Scorpio is a very sensitive place in respect to the income for planets to transit. A planet is going to have some effect transiting these sensitive houses based on the method shown above. What type of effect will they have? It depends upon the Ashtakavarga points that the planet has in that house. Using the example above, if a planet is transiting Scorpio and we want to know if that planet will harm or help the income, we look to see how many Ashtakavarga points that transiting planet is giving the sign of Scorpio. If it is over 4 points, then the planet will give beneficial results. If it is 3 or less, then there will be some stress experienced when dealing with income. The stress will be through its natural significations and through its lordship of house. For example, if it is Venus transiting Scorpio, then women, vehicles, students and/or the love life will cause stress to the income. Saturn and Jupiter transits are the ones you want to look at first. Saturn and Jupiter are planets that orient us toward our destiny. When Jupiter is transiting, then it is making us look forward to that realm of life and expanding that realm of life. Saturn transiting will force us to face that area of life and we will have a lot of responsibilities in that area of life even if we do not want them. Saturn is our duty and responsibilities and Jupiter is our excitement and hope. In any sign Jupiter is in, it will open us up to any possibilities of that house. Jupiter makes us expand in that direction. Saturn closes us off and narrows the path. As stated above, to ascertain if Saturn or Jupiter will be good in transit, you must assess the number of points the planet is giving to the Sign.
Let’s take Venus for relationships. In this example, Venus occupies Aries, so we take the 7th from Venus which is Libra. The yoga pinda for Venus = 96. The Ashtakavarga points for Venus in Libra is 5. 5 x 96 = 480. Divide this by 12 = 40 and there is no remainder. If there is no remainder then we take 12 as the number of the sign. This is Pisces, therefore when planets are transiting Pisces, they influence the relationship life because Pisces is a sensitive house for relationships. The 2nd from Venus is healthy and nourishing food. The 4th from Venus is the swimming pool and interior decoration. 4th from Venus also has to do with automobiles. Home is 4th from Mars. Every planet is a karaka for a bhava but some are less important than others. When the Sun transits a sensitive bhava (house), that indicates the month that the relative event will happen. The Sun is a timing system. You can also use the Moon to time the event within 2 and a half days. Jupiter indicates the year that an event could happen. Saturn is important in timing when something leaves our life or when we are forced into responsibilities regarding the house from the karaka Saturn is transiting. When Saturn transits sensitive points, usually destiny will force a change on our lives. Mars shows when we have to fight for something. Venus shows when we relax and get nourished. Mercury will show when we will improve upon that thing. The Lagna can be used for timing the 2 hour period. Not only is the sign in question a sensitive point but also the trines to that sign. For example, for income, the sensitive sign for that is Scorpio, so Scorpio’s trines, Pisces and Cancer are also sensitive places for income. Also look at the Mahadasa lord and where he is transiting. He will have an important impact on life events. Treat it like Jupiter. He will stimulate and expand that house when the dasa lord es through that house or its trines. Everything that has just been written about Ashtakavarga for the signs can also be applied to the Nakshatras. In the yoga pinda method of finding the sensitive Nakshatras, instead of dividing by 12 we divide by 27. Classical texts tell us to look at the 8th from Saturn. When a planets transits the sensitive signs for the 8th house from Saturn, it can be difficult time for the health and physical well-being of the native. Ashtakavarga chart to be verified and find out the strenth of each houses. The important houses are 1st the Lagna, 2nd dhana sthana, 4th sukha sthana, 9 Bhagya sthana,10 Karma sthana and 11th Labha sthana. If the total of houses counting on 1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th comes above 170 means yoga for being rich and above 175 means yoga for very rich. If the total of 1st,9th and 11th is higher than that of 6th 8th and 12th a successful life is assured generally. And if 6, 8 and 12 is higher then full of struggle without much success. 1st house should be definitely higher than that of individually 6th, 8th or 12th for a smoother life. 9th luck, 10th karma, 11th labha and 12th expenses.
All kendras and trikonas should have ashtakavarga strength other than 2nd and 11th. so 10th should be equal or more than 9th and 11th(income) should be more than 10th(Karma/profession) and 12th(expenses) should be less than 11(income) and then the horoscope promises for a steady finance life.

And if 6, 8 and 12 is higher then full of struggle without much success. 1st house should be definitely higher than that of individually 6th, 8th or 12th for a smoother life. 9th luck, 10th karma, 11th labha and 12th expenses. All kendras and trikonas should have ashtakavarga strength other than 2nd and 11th. so 10th should be equal or more than 9th and 11th(income) should be more than 10th(Karma/profession) and 12th(expenses) should be less than 11(income) and then the horoscope promises for a steady finance life
Ashtakavarga In Vedic Astrology, Ashtakvarga finds important place. This is a great aid to Vedic Astrology particularly for timing the event through transiting planets. Besides, it indicates the strength of planets as well as houses. Ashtakvarga is a samskrit word that can be divided into two syllables - one is Ashtak (Eight) and other is Varga (Chart.). So meaning of Ashtakvarga is Eight Charts. In Ashtakvarga, there are 8 source of reference - 7 planets only (Rahu & Ketu are shadow planets) and one Lagna. Lagna is something that has to perceive all the affects of all seven planets as per their accidental position in the horoscope. In return Lagna also
influences planets. This is why Parashara has advocated to consider eight source of energy (7 planets & 1 Lagna) in Ashtakavarga. In this system, each and every planet including Lagna influences one and another in particular way or other w.r.t their natal position. In any horoscope ascendant is taken as the epitom of promises therein. So when Lagna is got influenced obviously other houses, which are in existence only due to Lagna, also get influenced. When such influence is to be shown in charts, eight charts are needed to prepare which are known Ashtakvarga. Through Ashtakavarga, an astrologer studies and quantifies the mutual influence of planets in Prastar Ashtakvarga, Bhinnashtaka Varga, Sarvashtakavarga and Samuday Ashtakvarga (for Gochar) with respect to their accidental placement in the Sign and Houses. In Vedic Astrology, there is no other astrological aid that reveals so demonstratively the matter under consideration. This is why, it has been said that through Ashtakavarga, even a dull astrologer also can predict the thing accurately.
Ashtakavarga Ashtakavarga is a unique and accurate method used for predictions through transits, in vedic astrology taught by "Sage Parasara". Ashta means eight and varga means division/group. Ashtakavarga uses 7 planets(sun,moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn) and lagna for its calculations and chaaya graha rahu and ketu are omitted. In ashtakavarga calculation each rasi is divided into 8 parts or division. Each division has a span of 3:45'. The 1st division of each rasi is ruled by saturn, the 2nd division of each rasi is ruled by jupiter, the 3rd division of each rasi is ruled by mars, the 4th division of each rasi is ruled by sun, the 5th division of each rasi is ruled by venus, the 6th division of each rasi is ruled by mercury, the 7th division of each rasi is ruled by moon, the 8th division of each rasi is ruled by the lagna. Gochara is just 1/8 of ashtakavarga, thus ashtakavarga predictions are more accurate as it calculates the strength of a planet from every planet and lagna, but not just from moon. If a transiting planet has high points in ashtakavarga and has a weak / bad placement of house from gochara, the native is bestowed with auspicious results according to ashtakavarga points. List of points for auspicious and inauspicious results in ashtakavarga charts. Inauspicious or bad if a planet scores 0,1,2,3 points. Average or mixed results are expected if a planet scores 4 points. Auspicious or good results are expected if a planet scores 5,6,7,8 points.

In ashtakavarga of sun, if strong sun scores highest points, then the native will be a great politician or vip. In ashtakavarga of moon, if strong moon scores highest points, then the native will possess a strong mind and will be well known for that.
In ashtakavarga of mars, if strong mars scores highest points, then the native will be a great leader, commander or ceo. In ashtakavarga of mercury, if strong mercury scores highest points, then the native will be well known orator and writer who possess excellent communication skills. In ashtakavarga of jupiter, if strong jupiter scores highest points, then the native will be well known consultant, teacher, professor, guru, master. In ashtakavarga of venus, if strong venus scores highest points, then the native will possess vehicles, palaces and always surrounded by beautiful things / objects. In ashtakavarga of saturn, if strong saturn scores highest points, then the native will lead / head mass of people, an industrialist or own huge acres of lands. If 1st house or lagna has has highest points , then the native will be independent and successful or viceversa. If the 12th house has least points, it is considered to be good as it is the house of profit and losses. If the 10th house has equal or more points than 9th house and 11th house should possess more points than 10th and 12th house should have lower points than 11th, then financial prosperity and growth is considered. Ashtakavarga is a very sophisticated and unique transit system. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. In Vedic Astrology, there is such a plethora of techniques to choose from. According to Parasara, to make the process of prediction a lot simpler, Ashtakavarga can be used. To practice Ashtakavarga effectively, it is important to be very familiar with the qualities and actions of each planet as a karaka and the qualities and actions of each house. This is the key. In Ashtakavarga, Varga charts are not used. A transit of a planet through a Sign has many layers of meanings. For example, when Jupiter is transiting a Sign, you judge the effect of Jupiter transiting to all the planets plus the Ascendant. You judge the transit of Jupiter to not only the natal Moon, as in Gochara, but also to the natal Sun, natal Mars, natal Mercury, natal Jupiter, natal Venus, natal Saturn and the Ascendant. The transit of Jupiter is judged from eight places, hence the name of Ashtaka (Eight) Varga (Divisions). A planet is favorable or unfavorable from where it is transiting from a particular planet. Ashtakavarga is more important than Gochara. It is a more precise measurement because it measures a planet’s strength from every planet, not just the Moon. Gochara is just 1/8 of Ashtakavarga. If a planet is transiting a house with high points in Ashtakavarga, but a bad house from the Moon (Gochara), then the results of Ashtakavarga trump the results obtained from Gochara. For example, Saturn transiting the 12th, 1st and 2nd from the Moon is considered inauspicious, but Saturn may be very auspicious in other respects, as in the case of Saturn transiting a house with high Ashtakavaraga points. In this case, Saturn would be able to perform very well and give auspicious results. Ashtakavarga takes a more accurate and holistic look at the transiting planets than just those transits from the natal Moon.
A planet transits a sign. Based on this placement, it either receives a 1 or a 0 depending on whether it is auspicious or inauspicious from a certain planet. For example, Saturn transits Aries and in the birth chart, Saturn is in Cancer. Saturn in the 10th from itself is not auspicious, so Aries received 0 points. Whenever a planet is transiting a sign with low points, low points being below 4, it is always going to give trouble to that sign and trouble to the planet’s significations. 0, 1, 2, or 3 points = Bad; 4 points =Average; 5, 6, 7, or 8 points = Good. Jupiter will tend to have more than 4 pts in every sign. Saturn will rarely have more than 4. Jupiter and Venus are favorable in transit to most planets and Saturn is unfavorable in transit to most planets.

From the Ascendant: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 10th and 11th. For each planet, add up all of the points given and combine them into one chart. Each planet should have a chart with its corresponding Ashtakavarga points. In each house, the points will number between 0 and 8. 0 – 3 is inauspicious, 4 is average, and 5 – 8 is auspicious. When a planet transits a house where it gives more than 4 points, then it will affect that house and its inherent significations positively. The most important planets to watch for transits are Saturn, Jupiter, and the dasa lord. If you want to know about a specific area of life, like for example vehicles, you would also look at the transit of the house lord. For vehicles, watch the transit of the 4th lord and Venus. When these two planets transit houses that have 4 or more points, then you will have auspicious
experiences with vehicles. When these two planets transit a house with 3 or less points, a person would have inauspicious experiences with vehicles.
Determining Important Ages Important ages are best explained by using an example. Let us take for our example Jupiter. To find the important ages for Jupiter, add up all the points in each house beginning with the Ascendant to the house that contains Jupiter. The total of those points will give an important age in the person’s life for Jupiterian things, like wealth, children, knowledge, religion or philosophy, finding a spiritual teacher, meeting one’s husband if the person in question is a woman. The second step is to add up all points from Jupiter to the Ascendant and that will also be a very important age for Jupiterian things. Then we combine all of the points we just added up and that will also be an important year for Jupiter. The ancient texts say that the ages of Saturn are the most important ages. These are the times the person meets with many Saturnian experiences. The person will experience long term, life changing events in these years.
Auspicious Directions Each planet’s Ashtakavarga has auspicious directions. For example if Venus has the most Ashtakavarga points, in Libra and Pisces, then a person will have more luck with Venusian type things like romance, the bedroom and comfort from the directions of West and SE, because Libra rules the West and Pisces rules SouthEast. The directions are tabulated based upon the South Indian Rasi Chart and the movement of the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Sun is at the farthest North, it is in Cancer and Leo, when it is farthest South, when it is coldest, it is in Capricorn and Aquarius. There is another system as well that is based upon the elements – fire signs rule the East, earth signs rule the South, water signs rule the North and air signs rule the West. The auspicious directions method can be effective when used in relationship with your home. Another example would be Jupiter having the most Ashtakavarga points in Capricorn. In this case, keeping your valuable in the South of your home would increase your wealth.
Important Transits The house from the karaka is always a pertinent house. For example, Jupiter rules many things like wealth, income, children, well-being of the husband for a woman. The 2nd house is wealth, the 11th house is income, the 5th house is children and the 7th house is the husband. The 2nd house from Jupiter will be an important house for wealth. The 11th house from Jupiter will be an important house for income. The 5th house from Jupiter will be an important house for children. The 9th house from Jupiter will be an important house for knowledge. Let us say Jupiter is in Libra. So Scorpio will become an important house for wealth. However, in the Ashtakavarga system, it is a little more tricky than simply just looking at the house from the karaka. We must find the sensitive houses of transit for each planet. To do this, it is necessary to find something called the Yoga Pinda. It is a rather tedious process to do this by hand and most Vedic Astrological
Software will calculate the yoga pinda. The method is also explained in BPHS in chapters 69 – 71. Continuing with Jupiter in Libra as our example, multiply the yoga pinda by the Ashtakavarga points in the sign from Jupiter you want to know about. If you want to know about wealth, take the Ashtakavarga points for Scorpio, the 2nd from Libra. If you want to know about children, take the Asktakavarga points for Aquarius, the 5th from Libra. Take the total of the Ashtakavarga points multiplied by the yoga pinda and divide by 12. The remainder is the number of the sign as counted from Aries. So any planet transiting that sign is a sensitive point when it comes to the significations of that house from the karaka. For example Jupiter has a Yoga pinda of 98. If we want to look at the income, we take the 11th from Jupiter and Jupiter is in a sign of Libra so the 11th from it is Leo. The Ashtaka for Jupiter in Leo is 4, so multiply 4 x 98 = 392. Now divide 392 by 12 = 32 and remainder is 8. So the 8th sign of Scorpio is a very sensitive place in respect to the income for planets to transit. A planet is going to have some effect transiting these sensitive houses based on the method shown above. What type of effect will they have? It depends upon the Ashtakavarga points that the planet has in that house. Using the example above, if a planet is transiting Scorpio and we want to know if that planet will harm or help the income, we look to see how many Ashtakavarga points that transiting planet is giving the sign of Scorpio. If it is over 4 points, then the planet will give beneficial results. If it is 3 or less, then there will be some stress experienced when dealing with income. The stress will be through its natural significations and through its lordship of house. For example, if it is Venus transiting Scorpio, then women, vehicles, students and/or the love life will cause stress to the income. Saturn and Jupiter transits are the ones you want to look at first. Saturn and Jupiter are planets that orient us toward our destiny. When Jupiter is transiting, then it is making us look forward to that realm of life and expanding that realm of life. Saturn transiting will force us to face that area of life and we will have a lot of responsibilities in that area of life even if we do not want them. Saturn is our duty and responsibilities and Jupiter is our excitement and hope. In any sign Jupiter is in, it will open us up to any possibilities of that house. Jupiter makes us expand in that direction. Saturn closes us off and narrows the path. As stated above, to ascertain if Saturn or Jupiter will be good in transit, you must assess the number of points the planet is giving to the Sign. Let’s take Venus for relationships. In this example, Venus occupies Aries, so we take the 7th from Venus which is Libra. The yoga pinda for Venus = 96. The Ashtakavarga points for Venus in Libra is 5. 5 x 96 = 480. Divide this by 12 = 40 and there is no remainder. If there is no remainder then we take 12 as the number of the sign. This is Pisces, therefore when planets are transiting Pisces, they influence the relationship life because Pisces is a sensitive house for relationships. The 2nd from Venus is healthy and nourishing food. The 4th from Venus is the swimming pool and interior decoration. 4th from Venus also has to do with automobiles. Home is 4th from Mars. Every planet is a karaka for a bhava but some are less important than others.
When the Sun transits a sensitive bhava (house), that indicates the month that the relative event will happen. The Sun is a timing system. You can also use the Moon to time the event within 2 and a half days. Jupiter indicates the year that an event could happen. Saturn is important in timing when something leaves our life or when we are forced into responsibilities regarding the house from the karaka Saturn is transiting. When Saturn transits sensitive points, usually destiny will force a change on our lives. Mars shows when we have to fight for something. Venus shows when we relax and get nourished. Mercury will show when we will improve upon that thing. The Lagna can be used for timing the 2 hour period. Not only is the sign in question a sensitive point but also the trines to that sign. For example, for income, the sensitive sign for that is Scorpio, so Scorpio’s trines, Pisces and Cancer are also sensitive places for income. Also look at the Mahadasa lord and where he is transiting. He will have an important impact on life events. Treat it like Jupiter. He will stimulate and expand that house when the dasa lord es through that house or its trines. Everything that has just been written about Ashtakavarga for the signs can also be applied to the Nakshatras. In the yoga pinda method of finding the sensitive Nakshatras, instead of dividing by 12 we divide by 27. Classical texts tell us to look at the 8th from Saturn. When a planets transits the sensitive signs for the 8th house from Saturn, it can be difficult time for the health and physical well-being of the native.
Ashtak warga principles and your life Take sarvashtak varga score of 1st ,5th and 9th its called bandhu 2nd ,6th and 10th its called Sevaka 3rd ,7th ans 11th its called poshaka 4th ,8th and 12th its called Ghatka. Adding up bindus if you have your Bandhu score higher than the Sevaka that means you have independent source of living. If sevaka is higher than you lead a life of servitude that means you serve others. Similarly if Poshka is strong than ghatka it meansthe person is wealthy. In jyotish we have different division like Dharma,Artha,Kama and Moksha The observation is that if you have sevaka Artha strong that means person is wealthy.
