    Ashtakavarga

    Ashtakavarga is an important technique in Hindu astrology that considers the interactions between transiting planets and their positions in the birth chart. It allows astrologers to predict important life events, assess planetary and house strengths, forecast transits, and determine longevity. Ashtakavarga calculations produce a numerical score that is then analyzed using techniques like trikona and ekadhipathya reductions to provide insights. While it offers a generalized assessment, Ashtakavarga has limitations and works best as part of a full astrological reading.

    ASHTAKAVARGA

    It occupies an important place in the general scheme of Hindu astrology and offers
    considerable scope for an astrological student, who has a scientific bent of mind, for
    making further researches, especially in the matter of determining Timing of Events.

    Ashtakavarga reckoning has to be done on the basis of Rashis, and not on Bhavas

    Most astrological practitioners of the traditional type in India generally wind up their
    horoscope readings by determining Longevity (Ayurdaya) according to
    Ashtakavarga.

    Horamakarandu : As a result of the progression of the seven planets from their


    radical places and Lagna, a collective factor sets in going under the name of
    Ashtakavarga.

    The beams of influence contributed by different planets may act as catalytic agents
    in augmenting the good effects of radical as well as transit influences.

    Ashtakavarga takes into consideration the actions and interactions of the transiting
    planets with regard to their radical situations, including the Lagna and by
    manipulation of the benefic and malefic influences given rise to by such movements
    and measured numerically as so many units, certain important events are
    determined.

    The sages seem to have devised a numerical scheme of interpretation and timing of
    events,which is capable of further development being a unique one.

    Ashtakavarga is employed for:-

    a. Predicting the general strength of the planets and houses.


    b. Anticipating certain important life events
    c. Forecasting transit results, and
    d. Determining Longevity or Ayurdaya

    Ashtakavarga dispenses with the cumbersome (Sripathi and Kesava Paddhati)


    methods and enables us to attempt some sort of snapshot assessment of the
    strength of the Bhava. Ashtakavarga aims at a generalised assessment of Vitality of
    a horoscope, and therefore it has its own limitations.

    Reductions

    Trikona reductions

    a. When the same number of Bindus or figures is not found in a trinal group,
    subtract the least of the three figures from all the three and retain the
    remainder.
    b. No reduction is called for if there is no figure in one of thye signs of the group.
    c. If there are no figures in two of the signs, then the figure in the third must
    also be eliminated.
    d. If the figures in the three signs of a group are equal, then all the figures in
    that group should be eliminated.

    Ekadhipathya reductions

    Except Cancer and Leo, other ten signs are Ekadhipathya signs.

    a. No reduction is called for, if


    i. There are planets in both the signs crossed by a planet.
    ii. There are no figures in one of the two signs, whether occupied or
    unoccupied.
    b. If one of the two signs owned by the same planet is occupied and the other is
    not, then:
    i. If the figure in the former is greater than that in the latter, eliminate the
    latter.
    ii. If the figure in the former is less than the latter, then make the latter
    equal to the former.
    iii. If the figures in both the signs are equal, eliminate the figure in the
    latter.
    c. If both the signs are not occupied:
    i. If the figures in both are equal, eliminate both
    ii. If the figures are not equal, make the larger equal to the smaller.
