## Ashtakavarga System – Some Observations

An analysis of the Bhava chalita chart along with Ashtakavarga gives an excellent
insight into the native’s life. In continuation to my earlier post in this context
i would like to put forth my experience on the use of this system.I can definitely
say, simply reading the Sarvashtaka varga and the Bhinnashtakavarga scores one can
easily determine the life pattern of the native in various perspectives whose chart
is under study.

My preferences
 Software: Jagannatha Hora House system : Lagna is the middle point
of the first house and Parasara’s ashtaka varga principles. (Default Jagannatha 
Hora settings)

I prefer to first, have a look at the Sarvaashtaka varga of the Bhava Chalita Chart
and decide upon the class of the chart. The pointers to look for in any chart under
study

**1: Sarvaashtakavarga** scores of each of the bhavas are to be looked upon to see
which bhava is the strongest and which is the weakest. The bhavas having weakest
scores are the areas where the native will suffer in his life time.When will the
effects be felt will have to be studied as per the transits and Vimsottari Dasa 
or the applicable conditional dasas.

If the 10 th house has 40 or more points the native is definitely going to have 
positive results in his career.But if we study the 5th house of Power,along with
the 10th house and if that too contains 40 points we can deduce the native will 
be in a high profile profession.The natives who have this kind of a combination 
are generally observed to be in Politics or IAS /IPS etc.

In this context i would like to add that the concept of Bhavath Bhavam is very useful.
I mean wealth of the spouse can be studied from the 8th as it is the 2nd house from
the 7th. 8th house is also studied for longevity,debts,diseases,ill fame etc.If 
the house has more than 35 score then we can say that the spouse of the native will
be moderately wealthy.If the native has 40 points in his second bhava and the 8 
th house has 35 points then we can deduce that the native is more wealthier than
his spouse.

Also if the SAV strength of the Lagna is 35 and the same for the third bhava is 
40, then the brother of the native will definitely be better than the native.

If the SAV Strength of the 9th bhava is above 40 points signifies that the religious
inclination of the native will be very high.

**2 . Bhinnashtakavarga scores of each planet : **The Sum of the Bhinnaashtakavarga
strengths of Jupiter and Saturn if both put together is more than 8, then the native
will be having more than satisfactory results overall in his life time,as both planets
are the most influential planets in any horoscope. As per Krushna’s Ashtakavarga
system the planet having more than 4 points in its bhinnashtakavarga are to be treated
as benefic/exalted planets irrespective of their placement.

Bhinnashtakavarga scores also help in determining the nature of results the planet
is inclined to give in its Vimsottari dasa.The planet having 6 points in its BAV
will give results of an exalted planet its dasa.How ever this has to be studied 
along with other indicators like Ishta-Kashta Phala etc

The above pointers give an insight into the life of the native as a whole.

## Ashtakavarga and Planetary Transits

Studying transits is not complete with out considering the bhinnashtakavarga strength
of the planet under study.For example: If Saturn is transiting Aries and if it is
8th house from moon, its debilitation raasi and Saturn has 4 points in Aries,then
we can deduce that Saturn is beneficial in 4 kakshyas out of the 8 kakshyas in raasi
even though the transit of 8 th house is very bad. Saturn will be beneficial in 
the kakshyas of the planets who have contributed a point in that raasi.

The sum of the Bhinnashtakavarga score of Jupiter and Saturn in the raasis in which
they are in transit,gives the level of positive or negative trends in the natives
life in that period. For example: Jupiter has 5 points in Aries where it is currently
transiting and Saturn has 5 points in Virgo where it is currently transiting,the
sum is 10 out of 16 which is 62.5% favourable trends in the current transit.

## Ashtakavarga and Rasi Dasas

The SAV Score of the raasi whose dasa is running will greatly help in quantifying
the results of that rasi.

## Ashtakavarga and Divisional charts

In my experience,the ashtakavarga system seems to work very well in the divisional
charts too.For example, if Saturn is transiting a raasi containing 40 points in 
the D16 chart and has BAV of 4 points or more,the native will definitely acquire
a vehicle.
