Ashtakavarga - An unique tool

न सक्त्नोती पुनः किम वा मनुजा मंदाबुधाय :

विसेशिता: कलियुगे सरलो यम न निश्चय:

In the above sloka,Parasara says it is difficult for the people of kaliyuga who are of  a lesser cognitive capalibility to understand the principles of astrology he said in his sastram .He himself proposed a shortcut method to apply the principles of astrology by giving us the system of predictions in Ashtaka Vargaadhyaa.

Ashtakavarga System of prediction is an unique priceless tool propounded by Parasara Maharshi in his Parasara Hora sastram and is widely applicable for timing of events and having an exact overview of the life of any native who's horoscope is in question.In this post, i like to discuss on how to have an overview of the life of the native and save the discussion on the timing of events for another post.

He proposes that every planet in the horoscope of the native in question is a reference point and gives the benefic houses from each of such reference points.

In this method we can get to know the strengths of each planet and strengths of each bhava.Each planet can give a maximum of 8 benefic points and seven planets and treating lagna also as a planet as per parasara,can give a maximum of 64 points to each bhava.

The Bhava having more than 40 benefic points results in giving excellent results.The bhava having more than 35 points is good and the one having more than 30 points is average in giving the results.If the Benefic points is less than 30 then it results in struggles for the bhava in focus.

For example: If the 10 th house of profession has more than 40 points and the 5 th house of power and intelligence has 30 points then we have to deduce that the native will have a stable career and will be in a  supervisory role.

The strengths of each bhava gives the exact nature of the results the native is going to derive.

Examples:

1.If the native has 25 points in the 7th bhava then it is definite that he might face problems with his partners and spouse.If the native starts a partnership business then it is for sure that either he will be having trouble with his partners or he will be dominated by his partners resulting in dissatisfaction.

2.If the native has 40 points in his 8 th house he will be definitely deriving benefits from insurance companies,will be having  a rich spouse comparatively ,a long life,very good intuition and will not have any unexpected troubles all through his life.

The results of each bhava can be thus derived.
