Introduction

Our ancient sages (Rishis) have introduced such a fine method in Horashastra that can help us find out the benignity and malignity of planets and their influence on the life of mankind. They produced a system that can be helpful in.finding out the lines and points. The system is called Ashtakavakga. By this system it is easy to find the good and evil effects of the deeds of a man. Even a learned and well-educated astrologer cannot attain the desired success without the knowledge of Ashtakavarga. It is not possible to find out the benefic and melefic results caused due to the merits and demirts of the horoscope of a person without the knowledge of Ashtakavarg. The author of this book had started studying the system some twenty years back and came to the conclusion that there is no system better than this that could make an accurate prediction.

By Ashtakavarga, all the malefic and benefic outcome of the deeds of a man can be found out scientif ially. With the help of this system a minute prediction can be cast. A fine theory of the relation between individual and society is applicable on this system. There can be some differences on the results predicted by Vimshothari and transit on the basis of planets and houses, on signs and ascendants. In these circumstances, how can a true prediction be made? That is why, the ancient astrologers have advised to use the Ashtakavarga system.

It is very hard to find out the effects, time and nature of a planet by the common theories of Falit, but by this system, this is possible. For instance, a planet will enhance the influence related to its own house if it is conjoined with or aspected by benefic planets while situated in own, exalted or friendly sign. This is a widely accepted theory. But the question is what enhancement will take place in the sphere of the said aspect by that particular planet i.e. what will be the ratio of the benefic and malefic results? It is in this regard that the Ashtakavarga system is considered to be very authentic and decisive. With its help, prediction regarding the ratio of gains, auspicious directions, gains from brothers, results of planets in transit etc. and the age, wealth, education, wisdom, relation between husband and wife, happiness, property, land, vehicle and deeds of a man can be made easily.

To cast an Ashtakavarga, lines and points are used. A line has four synonyms -time itself, place, consequence and phase. Similarly, a point or a dot has also four synonyms-point, Karan, Daya, Aksha. While making prediction by an Ashtakavarga, it should be kept in view as to how many points and lines are there in it. Prediction of benefic results is expressed by line, whereas that of malefic ones is expressed by Zero. But in South India the benefic results are expressed by points whereas the malefic ones by lines. In this system, both the auspicious and inauspicious results can be forecast either by points or by lines. A result benefic by the line will be malefic by the points. Similarly, a result benefic by the point will be malefic by the line.

Ashtak Varg Siddhant

In Ashtakavarga, there are seven planets in order from i.e. Lagn Sun to Saturn. Ascendant has been accepted as the eighth planet. This is why this called Ashtakavarga. Some scholars do not accept the ascendant or Lgan. Here, a method for casting an Ashtakavarga with the planets and ascendant is given below.

Suryashtaka Varga

In Saryashtaka Varga auspicious lines fall on 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses from where the Sun is posited in the horoscope of a person. This means that the Sun gives auspicious lines to the signs falling in Kendra, second, eighth, ninth and eleventh houses from the sign it is posited in, but it gives points i.e. inauspiciousness to the rest of the houses. The Sun has got 48 lines in Suryashtaka Varga, rest of the planets give lines in the following manner.

Moon gives line to the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th houses, from its own house.

Mars gives line to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th houses from its own. 1h Mercury gives line to the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9 ,10th, 11th and 12th houses from its own.

2. Trikon Shodhan

(Trikon Shodhan )

Sarvashataka Varg is rectified after it is cast. There are two methods of Shodhan rectification:

1. Trikon Shodhan 2. Rectification of Ekadhipatya

Trikon Shodhan -There are four trines (Trikonas) in the horoscope of a person:

1. Aries, Leo, Sagilttarius

2. Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

3. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

4. Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Rules for Trikon Shodhan :

1. The lowest number of lines of a sign in Trikon should be subtracted from the rest of the three signs in it and then the result thus obtained should be written.

2. If any of the signs in Trikon (trine) has no line, the lines of the rest of the signs will remain the way they are.

3. Ifthe numbers of lines of all the three signs are equal, the residue of all the three will be Zero after Trikon Shodhan .

Example :

Let us have a look at Suryashtaka Varga of example horoscope, in which Aries has 4 lines, Leo has 5 and Sagittarius has 3. So, the 3 lines of Sagittarius should be subtracted from 4 of Aries and 5 of Leo. The calculation is shown here under:

Aries Leo Sagittarius

4 5 3

3 3 3 3

1 2 0

Rectification of other trines should be made the same way as shown below :

Ekadhipaty Shodhan

Ekadhipaty Shodhan is done after Trikon Shodhan . It is based on planets and their signs. It is done only of the planets who are the lords of two signs. So, the Ekadhipaty Shodhan of the Sun and the Moon is not reqired as they are the lords of only one sign each. No Ekadhipaty Shodhan of Cancer and Leo is required since the Sun and the Moon are the lords of the two.

A list of signs and their lords is mentioned below for the convenience of the students.

Rules for Ekadhipatya Shodhan

Barring the Sun and Moon, Ekadhipatya Shodhan of rest five planets i.e. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn is considered. Shodhan rectification of the Sun and Moon is not needed because both have only one sign each. On the other hand, every of the rest of the planets is the lord of two signs and that is why the Ekadhipatya Shodhan of these planets is essential to be performed. Among these five planets, the signs of Mars are Aries and Scorpio, Gemini and Virgo of Mercury, Sagittarius and Pisces of Jupiter, Taurus and Libra of Venus and Capricorn and Aquarius are the sings of Saturn. Therefore, Ekadhipatya Shodhan of these ten signs is considered. The Ekadhipatya Shodhan is done in the following manner. 1. Subtract the lines from the lines of the sign having planet in it after Trikona Shodhan (Trikon Shodhan ) and write it down the sign having no planet, if there is a planet in any of the two sings of a planet. Also write the lines below a sign with a planet found after rectification of its trine.

2. A sign without a planet and having less lines is not considered and zero is written below it. Lines will be there in a sign with a planet the way they are. 3. The Ekadhipatya Shodhan will not be considered, if both the signs have planets in them. The lines found after rectification trine will be there in their original position.

3. Zero should be written below the signs if they have no planet and their number of lines is equal found after Trikon Shodhan 5. If the signs have no planet and if the lines in them are less than needed, then the sum total of the lines of a sign should be subtracted from that which is more than it. The number thus obtained should be written below the sign having lines more than the other whereas zero should be written below that having less lines.

4. If any of the two signs has no planet and if the Sum totals of lines of both the sings are found equal after Trikon Shodhan then the lines of the sign with a planet will be written the same way and zero (o) will be written below the sign having no line. 7. No Ekadhipatya Shodhan will be considered, if there is zero (o) in one of the signs and lines there in the other. In this condition lines and zero (o) will be written the way they are. 8. Ekadhipatya Shodhan of Leo and Cancer will not be considered. In this case, lines and Zero will be written in their original position.

Parashar Theory

1. If there is no planet in any of the two signs, then the number less than that of the other should be subtracted from the greater one and then the number thus obtained should be written below the greater number. The lesser one should be left as it is.

2. If any of the two signs has a planet and the number of lines of the sign with planet is lesser than that of the sign having no planet, then the number of lines of the sign having a planet should be subtracted from the number greater than it. The number thus found

42 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

shouldb be written below the sign without a planet. The lesser number should be left as it is.

3. If the number of lines of any of the signs with a planet is greater and of that having no planet is lesser, then zero (o) should be written below the sign without a planet and that of the sign having a planet should be kept as it is.

4. Rectification is not required if both the signs have planets. Therefore, the number should be left in their real form.

5. If any of the signs is with a planet and the other has none and the numbers of lines of both the signs are equal, then zero should be written below the sign without planet and the number below the sign having planet will be there in its real form.

6. If both the signs with or without planets or if any of them has a planet and the other has none, but if there is zero in any of the two then zero will be there in both the signs.

7. The Ekadhipatya Shodhan of the signs of Cancer and Leo is not required.

Here, the theory mentioned is Phal Deepika in given below. This particular theory has been applied in the example horoscope. Theory mentioned in Phal Deepika by Mantreshwar.

After Trikon Shodhan, the couples of the signs such as Aries-Scorpio, Taurus-Libra, Gemini- Virgo, Sagittarius Pisces and Capricorn-Aqurius will have lines in the following manner.

One sign Other sign With Planet With Planet 1. Equal lines Equal lines 2. More lines Less lines 3. More lines Zero line (no line) 4. Zero line Zero line Without Planet Without Planet 5. Equal lines Equal lines 6. More lines Less lines 7. More lines Zero line 8. Less lines More lines 9. Zero line More lines 10. Zero line Zero line Sign without Planet Sign without planet

11. Equal lines Equal lines

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 43

12. More lines Less lines 13. More lines Zero line

13. Zero line Zero line

Zero means that there is no line. Rules for Ekadhipatya Shodhan are given below. a. In the order of 1.2.3.4.7.9.10.13.14, no rectification (Shodhan) is requaired. The number of lines is not changed. b. All the lines in the sign without Planet should be removed from it, if the situation of lines is there as mentioned in the 5th or 6" point stated above. No change is allowed in the number of the lines in the sign having planet. c. If the situation is what it is stated in the 8th point above, then the lines in the sign without planet should be the same as they are in the sign with planet. The number of lines in the sign with planet will not be changed. d. If the situation is what it is stated in point 11 above, then lines should be removed from both the signs and 0 (zero) should be written there. e. Ifthe situation is as mentioned in point 12, then the number of lines of the sign having more than the other should be equalized to that of having less lines. Suryashtak Varga Ekadhipatya Shodhan

Grah Gunakis calculated after calculating zodiacal factor. Factor number of each planet is fixed as shown in the table below.

Planet Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn

Grah Gunak Ank 5 5 5 8 5 10 7 5

The lines obtained after Ekadhipatya Shodhan are used to calculate the planetary factor. But at the same time, it also should be noted as to which sign has more than one planets in the horoscope.

The following rulers should be kept in mind while calculating the planetary factor.

1. Sum total obtained after multiplying the lines of the sign by the Grah Gunakof the planet , situated in the same sign is said to be the Grah Gunaknumber. · 2. If there are more than one planets, then the Grah Gunaknumbers of the planets are added up and then the total found thereof is multiplied by the lines in the sign. 3. Zero should be put in a sign if there is no line in it. 4. The lines obtained after the Ekadhipatya Shodhan are the base of the total of planetary factors. The rules are shown in the exampile horoscope. In example horoscopes, the names of the planets have been put in the signs they are posited in and where there is no planet, mark of minus (-) has been put.

So, after Ekadhipatya Shodhan we see that in Suryashtaka Varga there is a line in the sign of Aries. Therefore, in this case there will be no planetary factor. There are three lines in Taurus along with two planets Moon and Mars. The Grah Gunaknumber of Moon is 5 and that of Mars it is 8. If these two numbers are added up, it comes to be 13. Now, if this total of 13 is multiplied by the three lines in Taurus, it comes to be 39. This total of 39 is the planetary facter of Taurus.

There are three planets in Gemini-Sun, Mercury and Venus. But there will be no Grah Gunakin Gemini since no line was found in the sign after Ekadhipatya Shodhan. So, Zero will be put in Gemini. In cancer there is a line and a planet Saturn. Now, if 5, the factor number of Saturn, is multiplied by 1, the total comes to be 5, the Grah Gunaknumber of Cancer. In Leo and Virgo, there is no planet. There is one line with planet Jupiter in Libra. If the Grah Gunaknumber 10 of Jupiter is multiplied by 1, the line of the sign, it comes to be 10, which

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 55

is the Grah Gunaknumber of Libra. There will be zero in each of the rest of the planets from Scorpio to Pisces since there is no planet in any of them. The Grah Gunaknumber of example horoscope in different Ashtaka Vargas is given here under :

After this, the calculation of Graha Bala should be considered. If there is one planet in a sigh, the Grah Gunaknumber of that planet will be its Grah Bala. But f there are more than one planet in the same sign, the Graha Bala should be calculated by the ratio of the Grah Gunaknumber.

In example horoscope, Moon and Mars are situated together. The Grah Gunaknumber of Moon is 5 and of Mars it is 8. Ifthese are added up, it becomes 13. Both the planets are situated in Taurus. So, if the Grah. Gunaknumber of Taurus that is 117 is divided by 13, it remains 9 as quotient. This total of 45 is the Grah Bala of Moon .- Likewise, if 9 is multiplied by 8, the Grah Gunaknumber of Mars. This total of 72 is the Grah Gunaknumber and Bala as well of Mars.

The Sun, Mercury and Venus are posited in Gemini. The Grah Gunaknumbers of the Sun, Mercury and Venus are 5, 5 and 7 respectively. If these numbers are added, the total comes to be 17. Now if 34, the Grah Gunaknumber of Gemini is divided by 17 it comes to be 2 as quotient. If 2 thus obtained is multiplied by 5, the planetary factor, it comes to be 10. This 10 is the Bala of the Sun. Likewise, if 5, the Grah Gunaknumber of Mercury, is multiplied by, it

58 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

comes to be 10, which is the Bala of Mercury. Similarly, if 7, the Grah Gunaknumber of Venus, is multiplied by 2, it comes to be 14, which is the Bala of Venus.

In Cancer, Saturn is the only planet So, the Bala of Saturn will be 50 I Libra, Jupiter is the only planet. So, the Grah Gunaknumber of Jupiter will be the same, i.e. 150. The Grah Gunaknumber of each planet is given here under.

Planet Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn

Grah Gunak Bala 10 45 72 10 150 14 50

Jupiter is the strongest among the planets as mentioned above. Mars is weaker than Jupiter, Saturn than Mars, Moon than Saturn, Venus than Moon and Mercury and the Sun are weaker than Venus. ..

A Shodhana Chakra should be cast thereafter. In Shodhan Chakra, all the calcuations and their results are mentioned. The Shodhana Chakra of the horoscope mentioned earlier is given here under according to the different Vargas.

Note : Ashtakavarga is as interesting and authentic as its study is easy. The influence of a planet can easily be predicted by Ashtakavarga. It also helps know the significator of a planet.

A planet is considered to be strong, if it is posited in its Varga with five Rekhas and a strong planet gets its Karakatva. A short description regarding Rekhas are given below, which will prove to be useful

1 line : Weakness

2 Rekhas : Normal

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 65

3 Rekhas Malefic but the native will adopt the path of virtue

4 Rekhas Normal (Neither benefic nor malefic)

5 Rekhas Favourable

6 Rekhas Best

7 Rekhas Strong

8 Rekhas Absolutely fabourable.

Here is an example to make it clear.

The native will be deprived of bliss of progeny if the Sun in his horoscope is the lord of fifth house and is situated in Suryashtak Varg having two Rekhas. But if the same Sun is there in tenth house having five or six Rekhas then the native will rise high and that too very fast. He will be enjoy at a very high post.

Thus, the prediction made by Graha Bala (strength of planet) appears to be very much authentic.

Surya Ashtak Varga

The Sun having one or more Rekhas (in Surya Ashtak Varga) gives following results:

One line : If there is a single line in Suryashtak Varga then various types of diseases are possible. Hurdle and delay in every job is forecast. In this situation of the Sun the native keeps wandering aimlessly.

Two Rekhas : The Sun with two Rekhas creates difference of opinion in the family. The native remains a suspect even if he does a favourable job. Difficulties in state services and financial hardships are possible.

Three Rekhas : Mental as well as physical problems persist. Teething problem is possible in all works.

Four Rekhas : The Sun with 4 Rekhas bears mixed result. Ups and downs are there in the native's life. Pleasure and pain come by turn. A chance of benefit is followed by a possibility of loss.

Five Rekhas : Cooperation comes effortlessly in such condition. Complete education and bliss of children are possible. But number of children remains one or two.

Six Rekhas : The native with 6 Rekhas in his Surya Ashtak Varga enjoys a sound health. Owing to a pleasing personality, he becomes centre of attraction for many of the people. Bliss of a vehicle is possible. He will be renowned all over.

Seven Rekhas : Extremely influential and fortunate, this native commands a great respect and enjoys fame more than his expectation.

66 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

Eight Rekhas : A native with eight Rekhas in Surya Ashtak Varga earns great political sta- tus and national honour. He enjoys all the pleasures of life.

A planet in any Ashtak Varga can have Shunya to maximum 8 Rekhas. Therefore, Rekhas from 1 to 8 have been considered above.

Now, certain specific facts about the Sun are clarified here under:

Depending upon the Rekhas in the signs in a Surya Ashtak Varga, the Sun bears results in a particular transit.

Look at the Surya Ashtak Varga of the example horoscope wherein line status is as follows:

Line(s) Result

One line Pain

Two Rekhas Loss of wealth

Three Rekhas Depression and Distress

Four Rekhas Mixed (Neither auspicious nor inauspicious)

Five Rekhas Pleasure all the time

Six Rekhas Gain of wealth

Seven Rekhas Accumulation or benefit of wealth

Eight Rekhas All the pleasures of life

There are 7 Rekhas in Aquarius and Pisces of the Ashtak Varga of the example horoscope. So, accumulation of wealth or other benefit is expected. Therefore, it is beneficial for the native to initiate a job whenever the Sun transits over Aquarius and Pisces. Similarly, pre- diction should be done considering the number of Rekhas during transit of other planets. Given below are the results of Rekhas of all the Ashtak Vargas of the example horoscope.

Suryashtak Varga: Rekha Phal

Sign Sum of Rekhas Result(s)

Aries Neutral 44 4

Taurus 4 Neutral (Neither good nor bad) 3 Gemini 3 Depression and distress

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 67

Cancer 4 Neutral

Leo 5 Pleasure all the time

Virgo 1 Afliction

Libra 4 Neutral

Scorpio 3 Depression and distress

Sagitt. 3 Depression and distress

Capri. 3 Depression and distres

Aquarius 7 Accumulation or gain of wealth

Pisces 7 Accumulation or gain of wealth

There are seven Rekhas in Aquarius and Pisces of the Surya Ashtak Varga of example horoscope. It helps in accumulation of wealth or otherwise. Therefore, whenever the Sun transits over Aquarius and Pisces the native should take up new assignment. This will help make the job possible slipping out of control. Academic condition will be favourable and bliss of child or children and benefits will be visible.

But when the Sun transits over Libra, all sorts of troubles are caused. Mental unease, tension, family feud, physical ailment and teething problems in all jobs are possible.

This is the way one should make a forecast depending upon the number of Rekhas present during the transit of other planets.

2. The Sun with 3 Rekhas speaks of ill health of the native. He will be weak, feeble and short tempered. But if the Sun having 5 or 7 Rekhas is posited in its own sign or in a friendly quarter, the native will enjoy good health and will be renowned all over.

3. If the Sun, with just 2-3 Rekhas, is neither in its own sign nor in a friendly one, the native ails throughout.

4. In a horoscope, the 9th house from the sign in which the Sun is posited, is the house of the father. Regarding his ailment or death a calculation is required that is as follows:

Initially multiply the number of Rekhas present in 91n house by Yoga Pinda Of Suryashtak Varga. Divide the product by 27 and then calculate the residue by Ashwini. This way a particular constellation is arrived at and if Saturn is in transitover the same constella- tion, father's ailment or even his death is forecast.

In example horoscope, the Sun is in Gemini and the ninth sign from Gemini is Aquarius. In the sign of Aquarius in Suryashtaka Varga the number of Rekhas is 7 and Yoga Pinda of the Sun is 202.

68 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

Therefore, 202x7=1414. This product of 1414 is further divided by 27 and we get 52 as quotient and 10 as residue. Magha is the 10 constellation from Ashwini. So when Saturn transits over Magha, father's death or deadly ailment is likely to happen.

5. According to rule 4, as stated above, if Saturn is transiting over 10th or 19th constella- tion, death or deadly ailment to uncle of the native is possible.

6. If the product obtained by multiplying the number of Rekhas in father's house by Yoga Pinda is divided by 12, we have some residue. This residue indicates a particular constellation. Now, if Saturn transits over that particular constellation, ailment to the father of the native is possible.

In the earlier example horoscope house of father is Aquarius. Its number line is 7. Now, if this number of 7is multiplied by 202, the product becomes 1414. Further, dividing this by 12 gives 10 as residual. Therefore, Saturn transiting over Scorpio, the 10th sign from Aquarius, presages fatal ailment to the father of the native.

If there is Fatal Period (Marak Dasha) in this situation, death or deadly troubles to the father of the native is possible.

7. After Ekadhipatya Shodhan, if the Sun with 2 Rekhas is posited in Kendra along with Mercury or Mars, then rise in fortune of father of the native is a must.

8 But if the Sun with 5 Rekhas is posited in the said Kendra with Moon, the native's father may meet sudden death.

9. If birth Lagna of the native is 8th from his father's birth Lagna, or the lord of eighth house of his father is posited in the native's birth sign, then the father's death is sure sooner than later.

10. The Sun is considered most auspicious in 6th or 11th house. If it is with more than 4 Rekhas and is posited in 6th or 11th house, then it helps accentuate not only the cur- rent house of stay but also of the house it is the lord of.

11. Ifthe Sun with 3-4 Rekhas is posited in Kendra or Trikon, then the native's father's death is possible in 18th year of the native.

12. But if the Sun having 2-3 Rekhas is posited in Trikon along with Rahu then father of the native will die after only 7 years of the native's birth. 13. Ifthe Sun with 3 or less than 3 Rekhas is situated in inimical house or in a house along with an inimical planet then the native will die at the age of 42.

13. Yoga Pinda of the Sun is multiplied by the line or Rekhas present in 7th house after the sign the Sun is situated in. Secondly, the product is divided by 27 and the residual is obtained. Now, if Jupiter comes on the constellation that falls the sum of residual from Ashwini, then accident of father is possible. See the calculation given below:

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 69

202x3=606. Now, 606 is divided by 27 and we get 22 as quotient and 12 as residue. Uttara Falguni is the 12th constellation from Ashwini. So, if Jupiter transits over Uttara Falguni, the father of the native may meet some accident.

15. As per the calculation done above (point 14), the father of the native may have to face some fatal and poinful situation during the transit of the Sun also over the same con- stellation.

16. The number of Rekhas present in Suryashtak Varga multiplied by Yoga Pinda of the Sun and then the product divided by 12 gives a residue. Now, if the sign obtained by counting residue from Aries is having Saturn over it, then the native may die. Even if the period is favourable, deadly trouble is feared.

For instance, the Sun is in Gemini in the example horoscope. Capricorn, the eighth sign in it, has 3 Rekhas. Yoga Pinda of the Sun is 202. Now, this figure of 202 should be multiplied by 3, by which we will get 606 as its product. Further, this product of 606 should be divided by 12, the residual of which comes to be 6. It means, if Saturn comes on Virgo, the native may die or agony to his family is expected.

17. It is suggested to perform religious rites when the Sun comes in the sign with maxi- mum Rekhas in Suryashtak Varg. 18. On the other hand, it is not wise to start any auspicious function when the Sun comes over the sign having no line.

For marriage, etc. such specific consideration is auspicious.

Chandra Ashtak Varg

The number of Rekhas in one's own Ashtak Varg can make a native interpret the result in the way given below:

1 line : Disrepute and auful worry

2 Rekhas Ailment and deterioration in mother's health.

3 Rekhas Favourable

4 Rekhas Bliss of house, favourable circumstances

5 Rekhas Mental peace, psychic force, flawless character

6 Rekhas Mental agility, high thinking and originality in disposition

7 Rekhas Virtuous thinking and divinity

8 Rekhas High thinking and all round prosperity.

1. The native will be ailing or feeble if Moon is with 2-3 Rekhas in his horoscope. He will have to face problem in stomach and gastric trouble. Mental tension is also possible.

70 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

2. If the Moon with 2 Rekhas is posited with any two sinful or cruel planets then the native cannot survive after 36 years.

3. If the Moon with 2 Rekhas is sitting with Rahu the native happens to be mentally derailed. He remains out of his senses.

4. The Moon with 1 -2 Rekhas causes harm to the house it is posited in. The luck of the native will go adverse in this situation of the Moon. 5. But if the same Moon having 5 or more Rekhas is posited in 6th or 11th house then the native will surely be a millionaire or wealthy. Secondly, if Jupiter is conjoined with or aspected by Moon with 5 or more Rekhas, the wealth of the native will go for altruistic purposes. 6 If the Moon is with less than 3 Rekhas, the native is put to trouble by enemy or dis- eases.

5. If the Moon being the lord of Trikon, 5th or 9th house is posited anywhere in the horo- scope (except 8th and 12th houses) then the native will be fast in taking decision, wise, ideal and imaginative. But for this, the Moon should have more than 5 Rekhas. 8. Number of Rekhas in the fourth house from the house the Moon is posited in should be multiplied by the Yoga Pind of the Moon and then the product should be divided by 27. Now, the constellations should be counted from Ashwini up to the number of residue obtained. The mother of the native may die or may have to face deadly pains during the transit of Saturn over the constellation that falls on the number of residue. In example horoscope, Moon is in Taurus and Leo is fourth from the same. Ashtak Varg of the Moon has 4 Rekhas and in Chandrashtak Varg, Yoga Pind of Moon is139. Now if this Yoga Pind of 139 is multiplied by 4, it comes to be 556 as product. Further, if this product is divided by 27, we get 20 as quotient and 16 as residue. Vishakha is the 16th constellation from Ashwini. So, the mother of the native will meet the same problems or situations as stated above during the transit of Saturn over Vishakha. 9. Number of Rekhas in the fourth sign from the sign Moon is posited in should be mul- tiplied by the Yoga Ppind of the Moon and the product obtained should be divided by 12. Now, the signs should be counted from Aries up to the number of the residue. Death of the mother of native is imminent during the transit of Satum over the sign that falls on the number of the residue. In example horoscope, Moon is in Taurus. Leo is the fourth sign from Taurus, which has four Rekhas. If this number of 4 is multiplied by 139, the Yoga Pind of the Moon, it comes to be 556 as product. Now, if this product of 556 is divided by 12, we shall get 46 as quotient and 4 as residue. Cancer is the fourth sign from Aries, which falls on the number of 4, the residue. So, the mother will die or the situation as stated above will crop up during the transit of Saturn over Cancer.

6. Ifthe Moon having 7 or 8 Rekhas is posited in Kendra, the native will be highly edu-

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 71

cated, wise, strong, mentally strong and clever. 11. If the Moon having no line or only one, is posited in 8th or 12th house, the mother of the native will die in his childhood. 12. It is wise to take up auspicious or spiritual exercises when the Moon enters the sign in which there is maximum number of Rekhas. In the example horoscope there are 6 Rekhas each in Libra and Pisces. Therefore, for this native, any auspicious exercise done during the period the Moon is in Libra or Pisces Tula or Pisces is beneficial. 13. When moon enters a particular sign while in transit and that sign has merely 2-3 Rekhas, the native should not do any auspicious job. 14. If the moon along with 2-3 Rekhas is in Trikon or in Kendra that too in a debifitated or an enemy quarter then it destroys the house it is positioned in. 15. If the Moon with 2-3 Rekhas is posited in 7th or 8th house and is aspected by Rahu then mother of the native suffers from chronic illness. 16. If the moon, with 5 or more Rekhas, is in Kendra or in Trikon then it makes the house prosperous. 17. If Mars is in 7th or 8th house from the house the Moon is posited in and the moon is with 2-3 Rekhas, a rift between the native and his mother is possible. 18. If the Sin is in the 4th house and Moon, with 2-3 Rekhas, is in 12th house, then the native may have to suffer posited separation from mother in 34th or 37th year. 19. If the moon, with 7-8 Rekhas, posited in the Kendra the native is assured of name- fame and good academic record.

20. Ifthe moon is in a weak lagna, along with Zero, one or two Bindus the native may die of accident or poisoning. It is to be noted that the moon goes weak as it nears the Sun. 21. After Ekadhipatya Shodhan the number of Rekhas should be multiplied by the Yoya Pind of Moon and the product should be divided by 27 thereafter. Now, after calcuting the residue from Ashwini, a particular constellation is arrived at. If Saturn transits over that constellation the native is likely to run in heavy troubles. He may be dishonored or may lose someone of his family. In the example horoscope, after Ekadhipatya Shodhan, total number of Rekhas is 12 and Yoga Pinda is 139. Now, this total of 12 should be multiplied by 139 and then the product should be divided by 27. The calculation is given below. 139X12 = 1668 1668 27 = 61, the quotient and 21, the residue. Therefore, the native may have to face severe trouble during the transit of Saturn over Uttarashadha. Similarly, the native will have the same troubles to face during the transit of Saturn over Krittika, the 10 constellation from Uttarashadha. Again the time for the native will prove to be inauspicious and ailing during the transit of Saturn over Uttarafalgani, the

72 . Ashtak Varg Siddhant

19 constellation.

Here, a list of the 27 constellations arranged in order is given below. It will help the readers/ scholars while making calculations.

1. Ashwini 2. Bhara 3. Krittika 4. Rohini 5. Mrigashira 6. Ardra 7. Punarvasu 8. Pushya 9. Ashlesha 10. Magha 11. Poorvaphalguni 12. Uttaraphalguni 13. Hast 14. Chiltra 15. Swati 16. Vishakha 17.

Mars has a significant place in Ashtak Varga. One can know about agriculture, building a house, buying property, and bliss of family and about the time of brother's death through this position of Mars. Its specific results are given below:

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 73

1. The number of brothers and sisters of the native will be equal to the number of Rekhas in the sign 3rd from the house Mars is posited in. According to Phaladeepika- Bhaumatritiya Rashisth Fallai Bhratriganam vadet, which means that the number of Rekhas in 3rd sign after Mars is the number of natives brothers and sisters. In the example horoscope Mars is in Taurus and 3rd sign after Taurus is Cancer. And in Bhaumashtak Varga Cancer has 4 Rekhas, therefore the native will have 4 brothers and sisters.

2. When Mars is in Kendra or in Trikon with 7-8 Rekhas the native becomes a millionaire without fail.

3. But if Mars is in Scorpio orCapricorn along with 8 Rekhas-posited in 9th house or Lagna, 4 or 10th house then the native will be a millionaire.

4. Mars posited in Leo, Sagittarius or Capricorn having 7 or 8 Rekhas augurs that the native will be a capitalist. But if it has only 4 Rekhas, he will be a landlord.

5. Mars, with 8 Rekhas, in Lagna or 10th house means that the native will have no dearth of wealth. Again If Mars is exalted the native will be a millionaire and famous.

6. The native will be influential and powerful and will lead a very prosperous life if Mars having 8 Rekhas is posited anywhere in the horoscope as a significator.

7. Mars with 8 Rekhas in fourth or 10th house crossing through Capricorn, Aries or Scor- pio augurs that will be a minister or head of the department assigned to him ..

8. With 7-8 Rekhas, if Mars is in second or 10th house the native will hold a high hold in Central govt.

9. If Mars, with 4 Rekhas, is posited in Surya or Chandra Lagna, or in Janma Lagna having associaltion with Aries, Capriocorn or Scorpio the native is not likely to Suffer financially.

In the example horoscope Mars is with 4 Rekhas alongwith Moon in Lagna threfore the native never suffered financially. Here Mars is situated in Janma Lagna and in Lagna, Chandra Lagna in the same position.

10. If Mars is weak i.e. with merely 0-1 line, brothers of the native will enjoy a long life.

11. Number of Rekhas of Mars after Ekadhipatya Shodhan, multiplied with Yoga Panda of Manglashtak Varga, and then divided by 27 gives a residue, Now from Ashwini to that point. When Saturn will transit over that particular constellation the native's brother may run into trouble or even death is possible.

In Example horoscope, after Ekadhipatya Shodhan, the number of Rekhas of Mars is 14 in Mangalashtak Varg. Now, if this number of 14 is multiplied by Yoga Pind of 159, it comes to be 2226 as its product. Further, dividing this product of 2226 by 27, we get 82 as quotient and 12 as residue. Uttaraphalguni is the 12th constellation from Ashwini. Therefore, the brother of the native will have to suffer during the transit of Saturn over Uttaraphalguni.

74 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

12. The number of Rekhas of Mars in Mangalashtak Varg obtained after Ekadhipatya Shodhan should be multiplied by Yoga Pind and the product should be divided by 12. The residue thus obtained represents the sign that comes after counting from Aries. Suppose that the residue is 2, so it will be Taurus the second sign from Aries. An example is cited here under to make it more clear.

In example horoscope, the number of Rekhas of Mars is 14. Now, if this number of 14 is multiplied by 159, the Yoga Pind, we get 2226 as its product. Further, dividing this product of 2226 by 12, it gives us 6 as residue. Virgo is the 6th constellation from Aries. So, the brother of the native will have to suffer much during the transit of Saturn oyer Virgo.

13. If Mars having six Rekhas is posited in 6th, 8th or 12th house along with a weak Moon, the native will not have bliss of brother.

14. Posited in Lagna or conjoined with Moon, Mars having less Rekhas augurs that the native will adopt a boy as his son. He will himself be adopted by some one else, if being the lord of sixth house, the same Mars is posited in the 2nd house.

22. The native will emerge successful in the field of politics if Mars and Saturn are aspected by each other and Mars is strong having five or more Rekhas.

23. The political life of the native will ruin if Mars in his horoscope has one or two Rekhas and is aspected by Mercury or Jupiter.

78 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

The speech of the native will be bitter and diplomatic if Saturn is there in the house next to the house Mercury is posited in. If Rahu, there will be a satire in his speech. If there is Ketu, the speech of the native will be full of sweetness and clarity. 18. Multiply the number of Rekhas of the sign next to the sign Mercury is posited in by the Yoga Pind of Budhashtak and then divide product thus obtained by 12. Now count the signs from Aries up to the residue obtained by dividing. The native will complete his education during the period or sub period of the lord of the sign that falls on the num- ber of residue. He will obtain higher degrees and wealth during the said period or sub period.

In example horoscope, Mercury is in Gemini. Number of Rekhas of Cancer, nextto Gemini, is 2. Yoga Pind of Budhashtak Varg is 213. As stated above, a calculation can be made in the following manner: 213x2=426 426 / 12 = 35, the quotient and 6, the residue.

Now, if counted from Aries, Scorpio is the sixth sign and Mars is the lord of Scorpio. So, the native will complete his education; will have higher degrees and gain of wealth during the period or sub period (it may be the major period also) of Mars. Even otherwise, the native will have the same result during the transit of Jupiter over Scorpio, the sign of Mars.

20. Multiply the number of Rekhas in the sign fourth from the sign Mercury is posited in by the Yoga Pind of Budhashtak Varg. Further, divide the product thus obtained by 27. Now, count the constellations from Ashwini upto the number obtained as residue. The native will have to face hardships during the transit of Saturn over.the constellation' that falls on that number. Dispute in family and mental agony of the native will enhance during this period. Besides, hurdles and losses in business are also possible. A cal- culation in this regard is given hereunder:

In example horoscope Mercury is in Gemini. There are 2 Rekhas in Virgo; the fourth sign from Gemini, and Yoga Pind is 213. Now according to rule, the Yoga Pind of 213 should be multiplied by 2 and the product should be divided by 27. In this process, we shall get 15 as quotient and 21 as residue. Uttarasharha is the 21st constellation from Ashwini. So, the native will have to face the same problems as stated above during the transit of Saturn over Uttarasharha.

21. Multiply the Rekhas in the house tenth from the house Mercury is posited in by the Yoga Pind of Mercury and then divide the product by12. Now count the signs from Aries up to the number of residue. The native may have to suffer loss in business during the transit of Saturn over the sign that falls on the number of residue. Dmotion,

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 79

disfavour from state or ruler, litigation or sudden loss of wealth is possible. To make it more clear, an example is given hereunder:

In example horoscope, Mercury number of is in Gemini. The total number of Rekhas of Pisces, the tenth sign from Gemini, is 6. Now, if this 6 is multiplied by 213, the Yoga Pind, it comes to be 1278 as product. Further, if this product of 1278 is divided by 12, we shall get 106 as quotient and 6 as residue. Virgo is the 6th sign from Aries. So, the native will have the same problems to face as stated above during the transit of Saturn over Virgo.

12. If the lord of Lagna has two Rekhas, and Lagn is under the influence of cruel planets

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 81

and Jupiter has 3 or fewer Rekhas, the native will be poor. 16. IfJupiter is conjoined with the lord of Lagn or both of them are aspected by each other having seven or eight Rekhas each, the native will be renowned and will bring name and fame to the family by his deeds. 17.

23. The native will have three sons if Jupiter having four Rekhas is retrograde in his horo- scope

24. Add up the Rekhas in the houses fifth from Lagn and Jupiter respectively and then divide the sum total by two. The native will have children equal in number to the quo- tient.

In example horoscope there are 5 Rekhas in the house fifth from Lgan and 5 in the house fifth from the house Jupiter is posited in. Ifthe Rekhas of both the houses are added up, the Sum total comes to be 10. Now, if this sum total is divided by 2, we shall get 5 as quotient. It means that the native will be blessed with 5 children

25. To find the time of birth of a baby the number of Rekhas in the sign fifth from the sign Jupiter is posited in should be multiplied by the Yoga Pind of Jupiter and the product should be divided by 27 thereafter. Now, the signs should be counted from Ashwini upto the number of residue. The baby will be born during the transit of Jupiter over the constellation that falls on the residue.

In example horoscope Jupiter is in Libra and Aquarius is fifth from it. Aquarius has 5 Rekhas. If this number of 5 is multiplied by 98, the Yoga Pind of Jupiter, it comes to be 490 as product. Now, if this product of 490 is divided by 27, we shall get 18 as quotient and 6 as

82 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

residue. Further, if counted from Ashwini, Ardra happens to be the sixth constellation. So, according to the rule, the baby will be born during the transit of Jupiter over Ardra.

To find the month of birth of a baby, the Rekhas of the sign fifth from the sign Jupiter is posited in, should be multiplied by the Yoga Pind of Jupiter and the product should be divided by 12. Now, the signs should be counted from Aries upto the number of residue. The baby will born during the transit of the Sun over the sign that comes up as a result ..

In example horoscope there are 5 Rekhas in Aquarius, the fifth sign from Jupiter. If this number of Rekhas is multiplied by 98, the Yoga Pind of Jupiter, it comes to be 490 as product. Now, if this product of 490 is divided by 12, we shall get 40 as quotient and 10 as residue. Further, if counted from Aries, We find Capricorn as tenth sign. So, the child will be born during the transit of the Sun over Capricorn.

Contrary to this, according to some scholars, the Yoga Pind of Jupiter should be multiplied by 4 and then the product should be divided by 12. The child will be born during the transit of the Sun over the sign that falls on the number of residue obtained. 26. Multiply the Rekhas in the sign fifth from Jupiter (after Ekadhipaty Shodhan) by the total number of Rekhas in Guru Ashtak Varg (after Ekadhipaty Shodhan) and then divide the product by 12. Now, count the signs from Aries upto the number of residue obtained. The child will be born during the transit over the sign that falls on the residue. 27. Situation of Jupiter should be observed. The native will have bliss of progeny if Jupiter is situated in its own or in a friendly sign, but if it is in an inimical sign, the native will be deprived of the same. Order of planets and houses is as follows: 1. Saturn, 2. Jupiter, 3. Mars, 4. Sun, 5. Venus. 6. Mercury, 7. Moon, 8. Lagn In example horoscope Jupiter is situated in the sign of Libra, in Sarvashtak Varg, the num- ber of Rekhas of Libra is 38 and the Grah Pind of Jupiter is 34. Now, if 38, the number of Rekhas of Libra is divided by 34, the Grah Pind of Jupiter, we get 1 as quotient and 4 as residue. It means Jupiter is in its own house. Jupiter has crossed over Saturn, and has entered into its own house. So, the native will have bliss Of progeny.

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 85

In example horoscope Venus is in the sign of Gemini Sagittarius is seventh from it. There are 2 Rekhas in it and the Yog Pind of Sukrashtaka Varga is 121. The calculation is as fallows.

121X12 = 242/12 = 20, the quotient 2, the residue. Taurus is the second sign from Aries. Therefore the native should marry during the transit of Jupiter over Taurus. To find out the month of marriage, multiply the Rekhas in the seventh sign from both Venus and the Sun by the YOGAPINDA of Venus and divide product by 12. The residue denotes the sign and it will be wise to get married during the transit of the Sun over the said sign.

In example horoscope mentioned earlier, both the Sun and Venus are in Gemini. Scorpio is the seventh sign from Gemini, in which there are 2 Rekhas. It comes 4 by multiplying 2 by 2 since both the planets are together there in the same sign. Now it should be multiplied by 121, the Yoga Pind of Venus and then the Product should be divided by 12. The calculation is as under.

121X4 = 484/12 = 40, the quotient and 4, the residue. This residue stands for Cancer. The native should marry during the transit of the Sun over Cancer.

28. Multiply the Rekhas in seventh sign from Jupiter by the Yog Pind of Venus and then divide the product by 27. Calculate the residue from Ashwini constellation. Any of the two (wife or husband) may die during the transit of Saturn over that constellation.

In example horoscope, Jupiter is in Libra. Aries is the seventh sign from Libra, in which there are 6 Rekhas and the product of Shukrashtaka Varga is 121. Now, the Rekhas in Aries should be multiplied by 121 and then the product should be divided by 27. The calculation is as under: 121X6 = 726/27= 26, the quotient and 24, the residue. Shatbhisha is the 24th constellation from Ashwini. The wife may die during the transit of Saturn over Shatbhisha.

2. The native leads a very miserable life like a pauper, if Saturn with less than three Rekhas is posited in Lagna.

3. Even a capitalist may turn a pouper, if Saturn transits over a sign having Shunya Rekha. For example, in the horoscope of Stalin there is no lone in the sign of Scorpio in his Shani Ashtaka Varga. So he was sent to jail during the transit of Saturn over Scopio.

4. If Saturn with four, five, six or seven Rekhas is posited in Lagna, the native will be poor by birth and will lead a miserable life. This has been mentioned in Jaataka Paarijaata also.

5. The native has to face various troubles, if Saturn having five line) is posited in his Lagna.

12. If the lord of eighth house is conjoined with or aspected by Saturn and Lagna and if Saturn is with four Rekhas, the native happens to be a beggar.

13. If the lord of the eighth house from Saturn is Saumga (generous) and is in Ashtaka Varga with more than five Rekhas, it makes the life of the native happy and prosper- ous.

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 87

14. Saturn having less than five Rekhas gives the native much wealth, if it is conjoined with Moon and is not in own or an exalted sign in Lagna.

17. Saturn situated in Trikon with seven Rekhas makes the native wealthy.

18. If Saturn is posited in a house with more than four Rekhas, it will cause delay in accomplishing the job of the family.

19. The native goes on foreign trips frequently if Saturn is conjoined with the lord of tenth house or posited in tenth house having three Rekhas.

20. The native earns much name and fame, if the lord of tenth house being strong is posited in Trikon and is not aspected by Saturn.

21. The sum total of the Rekhas in between Lagna and the house Saturn is posited in stands for a year and the native will have to suffer much in that particular year.

The Lagna of the example horoscope is Taurus and Saturn is in Cancer. In between Taurus and Cancer there are 9 Rekhas (in Shani Ashtaka Varga). So, the native had to suffer much in his ninth year of age.

22. The sum total of the Rekhas in between Lagna and the sign Saturn is posited in stands for a year. The native will have to suffer much in that year of his age.

In example horoscope, Saturn is in Cancer and Taurus is the Lgana . There are 38 Rekhas in between cancer and Taurus. So, the native had to face a great trouble during the 38th year of his age.

23. If added, the said two two different parts of age i.e. 9 and 38 years make 47 (9+38=47). So also in the 47th year of his age, the native suffered a great deal.

If there is Mark Dasha in any of these three different parts (9,38 and 47) of age said above even the death of the native is also possible.

24. Multiply the sum total of the Rekhas in the house eighth from Saturn by the Yog Pind of Saturn and divide the product by 27. Now count residue from Ashwini to residue ob- tained to have the constellation. The native may die during the transit of Saturn over that constellation. The tenth and the nineteenth years from that constellation also prove to be fatal.

In the example horoscope Saturn is in Cancer. Aquarius is eighth from Cancer. which has 4 Rekhas. This total of Rekhas should further be multiplied by 182, the Yog Pind of Saturn.

88 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

Now, the product should be divided by 27. A calculation in this regard is given below to make it more clear.

182X4 = 728/27 = 26, the quotient and 26, the residue.

From Ashwini, Uttarabharapada is the 26n constellation. So, the native may die, or may have to face a deadly affliction during the transit of Saturn over Uttarabhadrapada. The native will have to face some deadly afflictions also during the transit of Saturn over Punarvasu and Vishakha, the tenth and tenth and nineteenth constellations from Uttarabhadrapad respectively.

Thus, the correct analysis of Saturn helps find correct results

Sarvashtaka Varga

The analysis of Sarvashtaka Varga is as essential as the analysis of the planets. As men- tioned above, Ashtaka Varga is not only authentic but reliable also for prediction.

A method for prediction by Sarvashtaka Varga is given here under:

1. A house is considered to be very weak if there are twenty or less than twenty Rekhas in it. So, the results related to the house will also be somewhat unfavourable.

For instance, if the fifth or seventh house has twenty or less than twenty Rekhas, it will cause loss of bliss of son or delay in marriage or distress to the wife.

2. A house having 25 Rekhas is considered neither benefic nor malefic.

3. A house having thirty or more than thirty Rekhas is said to be the best and the results related to that house are also considered to be benefic.

4. A planet cannot be able to give good results even if it is in its own sign or in an exalted sign in Trikon and is a significator, if the house it is situated in has fewer of Rekhas in it.

5. Results according to the number of Rekhas in different houses as mentioned in Maanasaagari are given below:

6. It has been noticed that each of the houses having Rekhas as mentioned below hap- pens to be benefic:

Lagna 28 Rekhas

Second house 27 Rekhas

Third house 33 Rekhas

Fourth house 32 Rekhas

Fifth house 27 Rekhas

Sixth house 38 Rekhas

Seventh house 25 Rekhas

Eighth house 24 Rekhas

Ninth house 33 Rekhas

Tenth house 38 Rekhas

Eleventh house 57 Rekhas

Twelfth house 24 Rekhas

Total 386 Rekhas

It is essential to mention here that a very few horoscopes have been found having 57 Rekhas in their eleventh and 24 Rekhas in Vyaya Bhava respectively. The eleventh house is consid- ered to be much benefic if it has Rekhas one and a half times more than the Rekhas in the twelfth. Similarly, the eleventh house having Rekhas one and a half times more than the

90 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

Rekhas in the tenth house is benefic.

For instance, the native will have bliss of land, vehicle, property and mother, if he has 32 Rekhas in his fourth house. Thus he will be very prosperous.

7. Four houses of a horoscope are very important Lagna, ninth, tenth and eleventh. The native will remain pauper. all through his life, if any of the said four houses in his horoscope has less than twenty-four Rekhas.

8. The native happens to be lucky, if the sum total of the Rekhas of Lagna. third, ninth and eleventh houses is more than the sum total of that of the sixth, eighth, twelfth and second houses whereas in reverse case, he proves to be a pauper.

9 After the year of age equal to the sum total of Rekhas in Lagna, the native earns wealth, status, respect and honour.

10. Ifthe signs in which Moon, the Sun and Lgan are posited, has more than thirty Rekhas the native will be brave and renowned.

11. The native happens to be very rich, if there are more than thirty Rekhas in second, ninth, tenth or eleventh house.

12. The native enjoys the bliss of house and vehicle; if the fourth house and the house the lord of fourth house is posited in, have more than thirty Rekhas each.

13. The native will live upto the year of his age equal to the sum total of Rekhas in Lagna, if the lord of twelfth house is in the sign of Saturn and the lord of Lgana is weak.

14. The native has to suffer insult at every step, if the third house has less than twenty Rekhas and it is aspected by Saturn.

15. To find out as to which part of age of the native will be the most prosperous, all the twelve signs should be categorized in three categories :

16. From Pieces to Gemini

17. From Cancer to Libra

18. From Scorpio to Aquarius

Make out the sum total of the Rekhas of these signs. First category or part signifies child- hood; the second signifies youth and the third signifies old age (senility). The category having more than the others Rekhas proves to be more prosperous.

In example horoscope

1. Rekhas from Pisces to Gemini- Childhood-48+35+32+25=140

2. Rekhas from Cancer to Libra- Youth-34+34+27+38= 133

3. Rekhas from Scorpio to Aquarius- Old age (senility)-28+20+26+39 = 113

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 91

Thus the calculation made above shows that the childhood of the native is the most jyous, the youth will be neither prosperous nor woeful but he will have to suffer to same extent in his old age.

However, any of the Categories having 128 Rekhas should be considered prosperous. Less than 128 Rekhas mean abatement in prosperity.

16. There is one more theory according to which all the twelve houses from Lagna should be classified into three categories each categoriy having four houses. The category having Rekhas more than the other two should be considered the most benefic. In example horoscope : Childhood- From Lagna to fourth house 32+25+34+34= 125 Youth- From fifth to eighth house ' 27+38+28+20= 113 . Old age- From ninth to twelfth 26+39+48+35 = 148

This theory is nearly accurate more than the others

17. According to one more theory the houses should be classified into three categories each having four Rekhas. But the Rekhas of eighth and twelfth houses should not be counted. Thus calculated, the category having Rekhas more than the others should be considered the most benefic.

Childhood-(Balyavastha) From Lagna to fourth house 32+25+34+34=125

Youth- (Yauvanavastha) From fifth to eighth house 27+38+28+00=93 Old age (Vriddhavastha) From ninth to twelfth = 26+39+48+00=113 Shunyais added up to eighth and twelfth houses even if there are Rekhas in them. Accord- ing to this calculation, the childhood is the most benefic. But, practically this theory has not been found to be accurate. 18. The directions of signs that may prove to be fit for the advent of luck are mentioned hereunder: East-Aries, Leo, Sagittarius South- Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn West- Gemini, Libra, Aquarius North- Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Add up the Rekhas of the signs. The direction having Rekhas more than the others will prove to be auspicious for the native to start business or to go on trip in that direction. In example horoscope : East - 35+34+20 = 89

92 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

South- 32+27+26 = 85 West - 25+38+39=102 North- 34+28+35 = 97

The calculation shows that the West will be the auspicious direction for the native. This theory is not much accurate. One more method is there, which is more authentic than the it. The method is as follows: The East is meant for Lagna, fifth and ninth, South for tenth, sixth and second, West for seventh, third and eleventh and North is meant for fourth eighth and Vjay. East-32+27+26=85 South-39+38+25=102 West-28+34+48=110 North-34+20+35=89

19. The native happens to be an officer or a minister, if the lord of Lagna is in fourth house and the lord of fourth house is in Lgna and both the houses have thirty Rekhas. 20. The native will be very rich and renowned, if any of the lagna, fourth and fifth houses has more than thirty Rekhas.

20. The lady luck will start smiling on the native after he completes 28th year of his life, if the fourth and ninth houses have Rekhas any where in between 25 to 30 each.

21. The native will be happy and prosperous, if the lord of Lagna is in fourth house and the lord of fourth house is in Lagna and both Lgana and fourth house have more than thirty Rekhas each.

22. The native will be a millionaire, if Mars is in its own sign, the Sun is in Lagna and Jupiter with more than forty Rekhas is in fourth house.

23. The stronger is Lgana the more the native rises.

24. Add up the Rekhas from Lagan to Saturn and from Saturn to Lagna. Likewise, add up the Rekhas from Lagna to Mars and from Mars to Lagna. Again, add up the Rekhas from Lagna to Rahu the same way/Multiply the sum total thus obtained by 7 and the product by 27 ..

The quotient will show as to which year will prove to be malefic creating there by troubles, hindrances etc. to the native. Now count from Ashwini to the sum of residue. The native will have to face some major trouble during the transit of the planet on the constellation that falls on residue. obtained stands.

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 93

Example horoscope : 1. Saturn is in cancer and Taurus is the Lagna. Add up the Rekhas from Taurus to Can- cer and divide the sum total by 27 in the following manner. 32+25+34=91/27=23, the quotient and 16, the residue. 1. The native will have to face some major trouble during the 23rd year of his age. 2. Vishakha is the 16th constellation. So, the native will have to suffer a lot during the transit of Saturn over Vishakha. 2. Calculation of the Rekhas from Cancer, the sign of Saturn to Taurus, the sign of Lagna- 34+34+27+38+28+20+26+39+48+35+32 =361X7 = 2527/27=93, the quotient and 16, the residue. The native will have to suffer a lot during the 93rd year of his age. He will also have to suffer during the transit of Saturn over Vishakha. Same is the case with Mars and Rahu also. 26. Add up the Rekhas from Lagna to Jupiter and from Jupiter to Lagna. Multiply the Sum total thus obtained by 1 and then divide the product by 27. The quotient will be the year and the remainder the time of advent of good luck. 32+25+34+27+38=190. Sum total of the Rekhas from the Lagna to sign posited in Jupiter : 38+28+20+26+39+48+35+32=266 190X7 = 1330/27 = 49 Remainder 7 = Punarvasu constellation. The native will have an advent of good luck in 49th year of his age and the period of Punarvasu consitellation will prove to be very auspicious and favourable whenever Jupiter transits over the same. 266X7=1862/27=68 26 is the remainder. It means that Uttarabhadrapad will be the 261h constellation. This shows that the 68th year of the native will prove to be favourable for him when he will have an advent of good luck. Constellation Uttarabhadrapad will also prove to be auspicious for him and will make him rise whenever Jupiter transits over it. 27. Lagna, fourth and eleventh houses are considered to be favourable if they have more than thirty Rekhas. 28. Both fourth and ninth houses having thirty to thirty two Rekhas presage advent of good luck in the 28t year of age of the native. 29. The native will be a millionaire having a nice vehicle if the Sun in his horoscope is in Aries and Jupiter with forty Rekhas is posited in Cancer. 30. The native will be a millionaire if Lagna in his horoscope has forty Rekhas and Mars, Jupiter and Venus are in an exalted sign.

6. Prediction of transit by Ashtak Varg

In prediction of transit, the Moon has got its own importance-more than the other planets. By transit i.e. Gochar we come to know as to which planet is currently transiting over a sign

In a broader sense, transit is the base of Ashtak Varg. The Moon is the lord of mind. It should be given much importance since it is the fastest among all the planets. But other planets also have their own importance. Prediction is made also by the sign the Moon is posited in, taking it as Lagn like it is done by horoscope.

In example horoscope, Taurus is the Lagna and Moon is posited in it. So, the transit predic- tion will be authentic and in conformity with the rules or theory of transit, if it is made by considering Taurus the Lagna, Gemini the sign of wealth, Cancer the sign of valour (Parakram)etc.

Planets situated in the following houses from Moon Lagna or from the Lagna of horoscope render favourable results.

Sun- 3,6,10,11

Moon- 1,2,6,7,10,11

Mars- 3,6,7

Mercury- 2,4,6,8,10,11

Jupiter- 2,5,7,9,11

Venus- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12

Saturn - 3,6,11

Rahu- 3, 6, 10, 11

Ketu- 3, 6, 10 11

In the example horoscope, Moon is in Taurus. Therefore, Taurus is the Moon Lagn. The Sun will render favourable result when it will be in Cancer the third sign from Taurus.

Here, it has to be kept in mind that the Sun will shower its influence directly on the planet posited in the house seventh from the Sun and in turn that planet will also shower its influ- ence on the Sun directly. In this process the Sun will lose its benignity and will not render favourable result even if it is posited in third house.

The auspicious and obstructing houses of each of the planets are mentioned below:

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 95

Sun

Auspicious houses - 3, 6, 10, 11 Obstructing houses - 9, 12, 4, 5

It means that the third house is auspicious for the Sun. But the ninth house having a planet (excepting Saturn, as Saturn is the son of the Sun and no obstruction i.e.Vedh takes place between father and son) will prove to be obstructing to the Sun and hence the Sun will lose its benignity. Similarly, the Sun in sixth house will lose its benignity if there is a planet in twelfth house. Again, if the Sun is in tenth, it is benefic, but it will lose its benignity if there is a planet or planets in fourth house. Likewise, the Sun situated in eleventh house will lose its benignity if there is a planet in fifth house.

Moon

Auspicious houses - 1,3, 6,11 Obstructing houses - 12, 9, 5 Mars

Auspicious Houses - 3, 6, 11 Obstructing Houses - 12, 9, 5 Mercury Auspicious houses - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 Obstructing houses - 5, 3, 9, 1, 8, 12 Jupiter Auspicious houses-2, 5, 7, 9, 11 Obstructing houses- 12, 4, 3, 10, 8

Venus

Auspicious houses - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 Obstructing houses - 8, 7, 1, 10, 9, 5, 11, 3, 6 Saturn

Auspicious houses - 3, 6, 11 Obstructing houses - 12, 9, 5 Prediction of transit is based on Moon horoscope (Chandra Kundali) i.e. the birth sign. To make prediction of the first house of the Sun means that the sign the Moon is posited in is the first house. So, the Sun will give result according to the sign it is posited in.

10. Gain of wealth, benefit from state or from the state officials etc. are possible during the transit of Rahu in tenth house.

11. The sphere of wealth and prosperity gets enhanced during the transit of Rahu in eleventh house. Cooperation from leaders is also possible.

Thus, an analysis of the effects of the planets in transit has been mentioned above. In Ashtaka varga, this analysis is very important that makes an astrologer find out the authen- ticity accurately. But it is also advised to note the strength of the planets while making prediction. A planet will give wealth, happiness and benefits if it has eight liens, but if it has no line, it will cause agony, hurdles or distress.

A short description on what all results the planets with different Rekhas can give is given here under.

Sun

8 Rekhas : Having 8 Rekhas, the Sun happens to be favourable and gives wealth.

7 Rekhas : The Sun with 7 Rekhas gives mental happiness, name, fame and wealth.

6 Rekhas : With 6 Rekhas, the Sun augurs that the person will progress and will be elevated to a higher post.

5 Rekhas : The Sun with 5 Rekhas enhances the sphere of wealth and property of the person. Ke may have gain of land and vehicle.

104 Ashtak Varg Siddhant

4 Rekhas : Neutral, that means that the person will have neither malefic nor benefic ef- fects of the Sun. Time for him remains normal.

3 Rekhas : The person having Sun with 3 Rekhas will have to face problems before get- ting success.

2 Rekhas : The person will have loss caused due to his own stupid actions in this position of the Sun.

1 line : The Sun with one line causes terrible or deadly affliction.

Here the effects of the Sun with different Rekhas have been mentioned. An example is being cited to make it more clear. If the Sun is in transit in the first house, it will cause financial loss, unwanted trouble etc.

But if the Sun has eight Rekhas, some favourable circumstances will come up in spite of troubles prevailing around. The result will be the same as said above, if the Sun is with four Rekhas. But the Sun will shower its most adverse effect, if it has only one or no line.

Therefore, an astrologer should make a deep study of the Sun before making prediction. Study of all the other planets should be made the way it has been done with the Sun. Now the prediction of the effects of the rest of the rest of the planets with or without Rekhas is given below.

Significant effects of the planets

The question is when do the planets shower their benefic or malefic effects on native. A sign has 30 degrees (Amshas). It means that a planet enters the next sign after it passes 30 degrees (Amshans) in the sing it is situated in. A description on which planet showers what effects on what degree is given here under.

Sun : While moving in between 1 to 10 degrees.

Moon: In between 20 to 30 degrees

Ashtak Varg Siddhant 107

Mars : In between 10 to 20 degrees. Jupiter : In the middle of the sign i.e. in between 10 to 20 degrees.

Venus : Same as what Jupiter gives.

Sautrn : Gives results same what the Moon does.

Rahu : Showers its effects same as Mercury does. Earlier words like deterioration in disease, diseases etc. have been mentioned. Now the question arises as to which part of the body will the disease affect. To find out the answer of this question, it has to be kept in mind that in which constellation the planet concerned is transiting. The part of the body to be affected by a disease can be ascertained only by the constellation.
