Ashtakvarga System: Measuring Planetary Strength in Your Kundli
Understanding Ashtakvarga Points
Ashtakvarga is a mathematical system that calculates the collective strength of planets across the 12 houses of your Kundli.
- Points Range from 0 to 8: Representing the strength of a specific planet in a particular house.
- 28+ Points Indicate a Strong House: Houses with high scores can absorb transits and yield positive results.
- Useful for Fast Transit Evaluation: Helps identify which transiting planets will bring maximum benefits.
Ashtakvarga points act as a shield or amplifier for planetary transits in your natal chart.
The Fundamentals of the Ashtakvarga System
Ashtakvarga (meaning "Eight-fold division") assigns points (Bindus) to houses based on the positions of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the Ascendant. It simplifies chart reading by converting planetary relationships into numerical scores.
Evaluating Bindus for Individual Planets
Each planet generates a Bhinnashtakvarga chart. If transiting Jupiter enters a house where it has 6 Bindus in its Bhinnashtakvarga, it will bring immense success. If it enters a house with only 2 Bindus, its positive transit effects will be muted.
Using Ashtakvarga for Daily Predictions
By checking the daily transit of the Moon against the Ashtakvarga points of your natal chart, you can identify auspicious days for meetings, investments, and starting new projects. It serves as an excellent tool for real-time decision making.
