In my experience of reading into some considerable number of charts , i am of the view that Divisional charts are to be treated on par with the Rasi chart.These charts have to be used to analyse the different aspects of life of any native.Though not supported by any classic, i am of the view that Transits and ashtakavargas of Divisional charts have to be used in interpreting horoscopes.
Example:Steve Jobs ,CEO Apple Inc
(source from astro data bank http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Jobs,_Steve) Date of Birth: February 24, 1955 Time of Birth: 19:15 Place of Birth: San Francisco, California, USA

Above are the D6, D10 and their ashtakavargas derived from the horoscope of Steve Jobs
Ayanamsa Used : Lahiri
Here i am trying to just give an overview analysis of his chart using simple ashtakavarga techniques,D Charts and Saturn Transits.I am not analysing the chart from the vimsottari dasa point of view.
Most of us would know that Steve Jobs has resigned from Apple in April this year as he is suffering from pancreatic Cancer.
He has been dignosed with this disease in 2003 itself but could manage till now with a surgery & Liver transplantation.
In 2003,Saturn was transiting Gemini.
From the above D6 and D10 charts and their respective ashtakavarga it can seen that D6 has 33 SAV score in Gemini and D10 has 24 in Gemini when he was first diagnosed as having the disease.He had about 60% favourable transit in D6 and 43% favorable transit in D10.Hence even though he had health trouble he could overcome it by way of surgery and carry on.
At present the transit of Saturn is in Virgo. In D6 he has a Score of 22 in virgo and in D10 he has a SAV Score of 23. These two scores clearly indicate his present problems health wise and also Career wise.
In Raasi Chart too Virgo has an SAV Score of 24 showing turbulence in life in general.
These indicators only give an overview and for specific results we have to make finer analysis based on Dasa and antar dasas.
The period when Saturn transits a Raasi with more than 30 SAV score will be generally good .
I Believe this is applicable for every Divisional chart as well.
