Chapter I

Ashtakvarga

'ASHT' in Sanskrit means eight-Ashtakvarga denotes eight types of INVOCATION energies, which every planet in a horoscope generates with reference to itself, lagna and six other planets (Rahu and Ketu excluded). The energies released can Salutation to Lord Ganesa: be benefic or malefic. In this book, we will use the word 'bindus' for benefic points and 'rekhas' for those which are malefic. Remove all obstacles from our way, and put us to the royal road of wisdom and prosperity ! Origin To Mother Divine : remove all ignorance from us, protect us from all harm as Ashtakvarga system is part of the ancient system of 'Hindu Astrology' and you do to thy children and bring happiness and peace in our lives as You can is referred to by Maharishi Parashar in his monumental work 'Brihat Parashara only do. We beseech you, O Mother ! Make our life meaningful ! Hora Shastra'. This system is unique to the Indian system and is not found any where else in the world, as such it confirms convincingly that astrology or Jyotish took its birth in the holy land of India. Ashtakvarga, though by itself, an independent system is an offshoot of Parashari system. It is easy to comprehend and gives snapshot, accurate and correct predictions by pinpointing the main events in a horoscope. It gives a clear and concise picture of the strength of planets and rasis, without which precise prediction cannot be made. Its main strength is in timing of events by assessment of results of planets in transit. It is the basic principle of astrology that only strong planets in strong rasis give excellent results. Weak planets and weak rasis spoil the significations ofplanets and houses and cause misery and trouble in life. Ashtakvarga system pin points the strength and weaknesses of planets and rasis and leads to accurate forecast of events. Mr. K.N, Rao in a series of articles in 'Astrological Magazine' has highlighted the usefulness of this system and has called Ashtakvarga as 'Dots of Destiny'. On the basis of this system he gave stunningly accurate predictions about India's victory over Pakistan in Indo-Pakistan wars.

Concept of Ashtakvarga Leaving aside Rahu and Ketu (which we are going to ignore for calculations of Ashtakvarga in this book), there are seven planets. Together with lagna these are eight in number. So, every planet with reference to lagna, itself and six other planets releases energies of eight type for good or for bad. The

Next in 4th from Jupiter i.e. Pisces and so on in Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Column of Mars: Bindus would be in 2,3,5,6,9,10 & 11 from Mars or from sign Virgo. Column of Sun : Bindus would be in 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 11 from Scorpio, the position of Sun. Column of Venus: Bindus would be in 3,4,5,7,9, 10&llfrom sign Libra or sign occupied by Venus. Column ofMercury: Binduswouldbein1,3,4,5,7,8,10&11 from Mercury or from sign Libra. Column of Moon: Bindus would be in 1,3,6,7,10 & 11 from Moon or sign Cancer. Column of Lagna: Bindus would be in 3,6,10 & 11 from Lagna or sign Cancer. Continue in this manner for rest of planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. This would be as in Table III - (3,4,5,6 and 7). Construct rest of the charts for planets Mars, Mercrury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, as in the charts Table III-3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Now total all the figures from Table III-1 to 7 rasi wise and put in the chart of Sarvashtakvarga as Table III-8, Page 23.

This will take shape as in Table C-II, Page 27. Direct Casting of Sarvashtakchakra. Totals in Table III-8 and Table C-II are same. However, individual bindus in rasis would differ. Make use of the table C - I, Page No. 26 Important Note: This chart should only be used for arriving at the total. For It would be observed that Sun with reference to 1 st bhava (place) from itself individual benefic point of each planet (Bhinnashtakvarga) earlier separate charts will contributes 3 bindus; in 2nd, 3rd or 4th also 3 bindus; inthe 5th Bhava2 bindus; have to be made. in 6th 3 bindus; in 7th 4 bindus; in 8th bhava 5 bindus; in 9th bhava 3 bindus; in 1 Oth bhava 5 bindus; in 11 th 7 and 12th bhava 2 bindus. Similarly this chart shows benefic positions with reference to other planets and so on. Now take a blank chart in the form C-II Page No,. 27 and put asterisk mark at position of planets as these exist in birth horoscope. With the help of Chart C-I (onPage 26) start filling up the columns with number ofbindus. Remember that counting in each case should start from the asterisk mark i.e. the rasi where each planet is located in the birth chart.

In the case of Moon, which is located in Cancer, the 1st house would be Cancer itself. Therefore, as per chart above Cancer would have 2 bindus, 2nd or Leo would have 3 bindus, 3 rd or Virgo would have 5 bindus, 4th or Libra would have 2 bindus, 5 th or Scorpio would have 2 bindus, 6th or Sagittarius would have 5 bindus and so on. Repeat the exercisein case of rest of planets. Mars is located in Virgo, therefore

Reduction is to be carried out separately in each type. Bindus before reduction are shown in circles in north Indian

Rules

1. If the figures in three signs are unequal deduct lowest from all the three and retain the remainder.

Example: We are required to carry out reductions in the Bhinashtak of Sun. Suppose the bindus in signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are 4,5 and 7 respectively. These figures are unequal, therefore, subtract the lowest figure i.e. 4 from all the three. After this subtraction we will get the figures 0,1 and 3. That means Aries will have 0 after reduction, Leo 1 and Sagittarius will be left with 3. Remember one of the figures after reduction would always be 0.

2. No reduction is to be carried out if one of the figures in any one of the three signs is 0.

3. If there are no figures in two of the signs make third also zero i.e. eliminate the third.

4. If figures in all the three signs are equal then eliminate all or make them equal to zero.

Note: There are also other views regarding values 1 and 3. But we are following here the most accepted methods.

Example: Let us take the chart of bhinashtak of Sun in the horoscope of J.L. Nehru, and make Trikona or 1st Reduction.

Trikona Reduction

2nd or Ekadhipatya reduction

After Trikona reduction has been carried out, the next reduction would be Ekadhipatya reduction or 2nd Reduction.

Rules

. Ekadhipatya means reduction because of ownership of two signs by a planet. Sun and Moon own one sign each, Cancer and Leo. Therefore,no reduction is to be carried out in these two rasis.

2. In other cases five other planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn own two signs each. In these cases the reduction is to be carried out as follows:

No reduction is done in case there are planets (excluding Rahu and Ketu) in both the rasis owned by a planet. It means if both signs are occupied no reduction is to be made. For example take the case of rasis Aries and Scorpio owned by Mars. In case there are planets in these two rasis no reduction is called for. Rahu and Ketu are not taken into consideration as planets for this purpose. Remember the sign with planets becomes strong and is not to be disturbed. On this basis proceed as follows.

3. No reduction is also to be made if one of the signs belonging to same planet has zero figure, whether occupied or not.

4. If one of the two signs is occupied by a planet and the other is not, proceed as follows :

Keeping the figures in sign occupied as they are; there are three different possibilities:

21

Note : In some books the method of reduction is slightly different. Here we are following the most accepted one. (2) 2 5 4 0 0 3 2 Rahu Now in the light of these observations let us make 2nd or Ekadhipatya reduction in

In each horoscope the number of bindus left in each rasi after two reductions is to be multiplied by the above two factors. First by rasi gunakar and then separately by graha gunakar or planetary factor. The products of these two have to be added to get Shodhya Pinda.

Mer Jup Ven 7 8 9 11 Sat 10 Jup Mer Sun It should be remembered that results of transit cannot take precedence over those Ven Rahu promised in the birth chart. The birth horoscope is the main important chart containing the dasha scheme binding us all in the grand design of Karma. The whole scheme of destiny is nothing else but the unfolding of Karmas. The good or bad events that occur in our life are the fruits of our Karmas.

For example if children are not promised in the horoscope then howsoever results may be good in transit (Jupiter and Saturns aspect on 1/5 axis), birth of children must not be predicted. In fact transits should be given secondary importance to main events promised in dasha scheme.

While primary importance is given to transit of planets from Moon, the transit should also be considered from lagna. However, all the great ancient ' Acharyas' emphasize that transits should be considered from Moon only.

In judging the results of transit following factors should be considered.

I-Transit of planets in good and bad houses

In considering whether a transit is good or bad, the position of planets from Moon at the time of birth is taken into consideration in Vedic Astrology. Mantreswar states in the book Phaladeepika that among all the lagnas the Moon's Lagna is the most important for assessing the effects of transits. The sign where Moon is posited at birth is important and is called the radical sign of Moon, which is also known as Chandra Lagna or sometimes as

Rasi. In the horoscope above the Lagna or rising sign is Gemini, while Rasi is Taurus as Moon is located here.

53

Good Position for transit of planets with respect to radical Moon Moon

Sun: gives good results while transitting 3,6,10 and 11 positions from radical Moon. Results of Good Moon : strong bindus - wealth, good food, bed room comforts, In other houses it gives malefic results. clothing, friendship, association with opposite sex, joy, happiness, prosperity and good Mars : gives good results while transitting in 3, 6, and 11.

Ill- Points of Obstruction or Vedha When a planet transits through a sign whether favourable or not, if there is another planet moving at vedha point the effects of transit will not be felt. Following are the benefic and Vedha points of each planet. Suppose Sun is transitting over the third house, it is bound to give good results, but if a planet is simultaneously also transitting the 9th house no good results would be produced. Conversely if a planet is transitting over 9th house and simultaneously another planet is transitting on the third house, the evil results will not be felt.

SOME important principles relating to Ashtakvarga as taught by K.N. Rao in the classes are given below:

Principles relating to profession or career 1. 1 Otn and 11 th houses from Lagna, Sun, Pada Lagna and Karakamsa Lagna should be seen; 10th for the nature of rise and 11th for the extent of rise.

(a) If 11 has more benefic points than 10, rise in life is great. Greater the difference greater is the rise.

(b) If the 10th house is strong (28 or more bindus), but 11 is weak, at some stage there has been a stagnation in career.

(c) A very weak 10th house should not be interpreted as bad if 11 is strong enough as it is capable of lifting the native.

To ascertain the results of Dasha lord following steps should be observed.

From the Dasha Lord i.e. the location of Dasha lord in the birth horoscope.

1. Examine whether dasha lord is functional benefic or malefic from lagna and Moon

2. Examine rasbis having more or less bindus in houses as from dasha lord. 2nd and 11 houses should have more than 5 bindus to increase prospects of wealth. If 12 has more bindus expenditure is more and person is extravagant.

3. Kendras and trikonas should have more than 4 bindus for period to bring happiness and prosperity. Some Observations

4. If there are more bindus in 5th house as compared to 7th, the native would be aggressive spouse. More bindus in 7 than 5 show henpecked husband.

5. If 4th has more bindus than 6, help comes from relatives.

6. If there are more-bindus in 11th than in 10th, the earning is more with less effort. More bindus in 10th house than 11th shows less earning as compared to effort.

7. More bindus in 11 th than in 12th show acquisition of landed property, and amassing of wealth.

II Rahu's Ashtakvarga

Most of the ancient books on astrology ignore Rahu's Ashtakvarga. It is only Shambhu Hora Prakasa which makes a mention pf Rahu's Ashtakvarga. Most of the authorities agree that the total number of bindus are 337. Since Rahu is only a shadowy planet, it has Chapter XX been excluded from the above scheme.

According to the book mentioned above the benefic position of Rahu with reference to other planets are as follows :-

Miscellaneous From Sun 1,2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 10 From Moon 1,3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10

From Mars 2,3,5, 7 and 12

Rekha Sarvashtakvarga From Mercury 2,4, 7, 8 and 12

THE total number of benefic and malefic points in a rasi contributed by all planets and lagna are From Jupiter 1,3, 4, 6 and 8

always 56. Therefore, if Bindus (benefic points) are reduced from 56, we get remainder From Venus 6,7,11, and 12 malefic units or rekhas. In the horoscope of Nehru, the Sarvashtakchakra of benefic bindus is as follows : From Saturn 3,5,7, 10, 11 and 12

If we deduct figures in each sign from 56, the resultant figures would show the sarvashtak From Lagna 3,4, 5,9 and 12

of Rekhas or malefic points. This works out as follows: Total 44

The movement of Rahu is in reverse, therefore, the transit through kakshaya would be as follows : Lagna, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

They are bad in other houses. These rekhas are subject to normal reduction i.e., Reduction I and Reduction II, after expunging multiples as was done earlier. Similarly maximum bindus and rekhas in Bhinashtakvarga of a planet are eight. If bindus in a rasi in Bhinastakvarga of any III. Bhava Chart Vs. Rasi Chart

planet are 5, then rekhas in this rasi would be eight minus five or three. If Bindus are 8, Some of the authorities on Ashtakvarga are of the opinion that the Bhva chart is more then it means it has no rekha .* important than the rasi chart. A planet in a horoscope may be in a particular house in *For computations we calculate bindus only.

Because of this if a planet were in a different Bhava it would give different results. Therefore, it has been suggested that Ashtakvarga should be calculated on the 2.

2. In general predictive astrology it is recognized that Bhava chart is as important as a As Against this majority is of the opinion that only 337 bindus should be used. rasi chart. It is for this reason that both rasi and Bhava chart are scrutinized for sound predictions. Following reasons are assigned for this :

IV. Bindus 337 or 386 - Lagna Ashtak

The total number of bindus in sarvashtakvarga are 337. Some authorities state that bindus of lagnashtak, which are 49, should also be included to make it to 386. Their reasoning is as follows :

1. Parashara has given the Ashtakvarga of Lagna also to make it ashtak (eight). He

The weak houses in the horoscope of India as far as Sarvashtak is concerned are Gemini (19), Capricorn (20), Scorpio (23) Libra (25), Cancer (27) and Leo (27) are houses of shakiness disallowing or impeding consideration of good results.

Before the results of double transit of Saturn and Jupiter on the sarvashtak of the national horoscope are applied, it must be clarified that it is nowhere suggested that mundane predictions should be made only from

Sarvashtak.Only it is emphasized that sarvashtakvarga is a major factor fof qualitative better prediction after analyzing the horoscope with Mahadasha and relevant divisional charts.

The transit of Saturn and Jupiter in Gemini has been the weakest transit as far as India is concerned. It has been the cause of mental agony of the nation as in Moon's bhinnashtak this is a weak house having zero bindus .....
