Note: Numbers shown in parentheses indicate the relative positions of rasis with respect to the rasi (in this case Simha rasi 5) of the Ashtakavarga planet (in this case Ravi). 0

We know each zodiac sign is of 30 arc of zodiac. If we divide this 30 into eight divisions, each division 0
0
occupies 3 – 45’ (3.75 ). First division belongs to Sani, second division belongs to Guru, third to Kuja, fourth to Ravi, fifth to Sukra, sixth to Budha, seventh to Chandra and the last; the eighth to Lagna. This sequence of ownership of the divisions remains same for all the zodiac signs and for all the Ashtakavarga planets. The significance of this division is as follows: We know that Ravi takes 30 days to transit a zodiac sign. If we divide this 30 days period into eight divisions, we get 3.75 days per division. During the first 0
3.75 days, Ravi will be transiting the first 3.75 of a sign. If there is a rekhaprad contribution from sani in that sign then auspicious results can be foretold during the first 3.75 days of Ravi’s transit in that sign. Likewise the thread of analysis continues for the subsequent divisions. Based on the logic used while constructing the Ashtakavarga chart of Ravi, let us now prepare the Tables indicating contributions of all planets to the Ashatakavarga charts for all the remaining planets including Lagna. It may also be noted that in the combined Ashtakavarga Table for each planet, the relative positions of rasis with respect to the rasi of the respective Ashtakavarga planet are given in parentheses just below the celestial zodiac signs.

Chandra takes about 60 hours to cross a zodiac sign of 30 . For each Ashtakavarga division of 3.75 , he takes about 7.5 hours. The timing of auspicious results occurring or otherwise depends on whether the Ashtakavarga division, Chandra is crossing at a particular time interval, is rekhaprad contributed by the planet belonging to that division, or karanprad.

Even though Budha revolves around Ravi about every 90 days, but because of his frequent retrograde motions (three or four times in a year), he roughly takes about 20 days to transit a zodiac sign. For each 0
Ashtakavarga division of 3.75 , he takes about 2.5 days. The timing of auspicious results occurring or otherwise depends on whether the Ashtakavarga division, Budha is crossing at a particular time interval, is rekhaprad contributed by the planet belonging to that division, or karanprad. Results could get influenced depending upon whether the motion is direct or retrograde.

Lagna is the fastest moving Ashtakavarga ‘planet’. It transits a zodiac sign every 2 hours. Hence it takes 0
only 15 minutes to transit one Ashtakavarga division of 3.75 .
The discerning readers could definitely appreciate the reason why Maharshi Parasara mentioned that the Ashtakavarga chart should include not only the rekhaprad contributions but also karanprad contributions. The astrologer would be in a better position to analyse the horoscope and give out his opinion accordingly. The Maharshi also emphasized the preeminence of the natal chart and the role of Lagna and other planets and their interconnections among themselves and also with respect to different bhavas. We again reiterate that the possible events in a native’s life would be envisaged only from the natal chart. Ashtakavarga chart helps us in understanding the timeline. Utility of Rekhaprad Ashtakavarga Chart Generally speaking, available literature on Ashtakavarga charts deal with the rekhaprad Ashtakavarga charts and try to interpret the events in the life of an individual. Let us have a re-look into this aspect. Before proceeding further, it may be desirable to construct the rekhaprad Ashtakavarga charts for the planets in a different way. We can add the rekhaprad contributions for individual rasis of a Rekhaprad Ashtakavarga chart or a planet and indicate the sum of the contributions in that rasi. The following rekhaprad Ashtakavarga charts for all the planets can be obtained in this way:

It may be recalled that all the eight planets (including Lagna) may contribute to each Ashtakavarga chart of a planet. Hence there can be a maximum of eight points (one point from each of the eight planets) to each zodiac sign. As is generally proclaimed in the literature, if any sign contains 4 or more (50% or more of the total eight points) points, the Ashtakavarga planet while transiting that sign is said to give beneficial results to the native. But this is too a simplistic analysis and one should not get carried away by this. Maharshi Parasara was clear in enunciating that one should consider the combined Ashtakavarga chart as a whole. The venerable sage also mentions in one context that if the running dasha period in the life of a native does not indicate the occurrence of an event, the Ashtakavarga chart also, even if the rekhaprad contributions are favourable, will not bestow that event on the native. Thus the preeminence of the natal chart is once again emphasized. For correct assessment, following points should be considered: 1.
The planets are constantly moving. No planet moves in isolation. Hence it is not desirable to dole out the ‘auspicious’ or inauspicious’ results based on a single planet.
2.
In the case of transit of Sani, for example, he takes 2.5 years per zodiac sign. In that period another planet, for instance, Ravi will have completed two and half revolutions of the zodiac. Twice he would be transiting the rasi where Sani is present. During the rest of the time, he would be transiting other rasis. Similar is the case with other planets.
3.
The vicissitudes in the life of a native then has to be judged by considering the transits of all the planets and just not any one planet.
4.
A planet during his transit may be crossing a rasi containing more than 4 rekhaprad contributions and at the same another planet ay be transiting yet another rasi with No contributions at all (fully karanprad contributed rasi).
5.
What a native receives is a mixed bag of gross result from different planets. We can add all the points in each zodiac sign individually contributed by all the Ashtakavarga
planets. Remembering that each sign can have a maximum of eight points and there are eight Ashtakavarga planets, each zodiac sign can have a maximum of sixty four points. The Chart thus obtained is known as Samudayaka Ashtakavarga chart. This chart is also shown above as the last table. For the samudyaka Ashtakavarga chart, the ‘so-called’ beneficial signs are those containing 32 or more points (again 50% of possible 64 points for each zodiac sign). Maharshi Parasara declares that “From this should be judged good and adverse effects of the Rashi Kundali” again bringing out the indispensability of natal chart. The relevance of Samudayaka Ashtakavarga chart is its utility while deciding on auspicious timings for important functions. For example, the strength of Chandra (Chandrabal) is generally acceptable for all auspicious functions. Therefore auspicious functions should be performed, or started, when Candr is in the Rashi with maximum number of Rekhas, provided other parameters are favourable. Despite being labeled as repetitive, let me again refer to Maharshi Parasara. He says: “If in a Rashi Kundali there are larger number of Rekhas in the 11th than those in 10th and there are smaller number of Rekhas in the 12th than those in the 11th and Lagna contains largest number of Rekhas, the native will be wealthy and will enjoy all kinds of comforts and luxury”. The Ashtakavarga chart is merely a tool to calculate the strengths of each rasi in the natal chart based on the individual contributions of the
seven planets and lagna. Use is made of a planet’s placement in the natal chart as the starting rasi for computation of Ashtakavarga chart. After the Ashtakavarga chart is available, the natal chart takes over and all the rasis or houses/bhavas are arrived at with respect to Lagna. No other parameter needs to be considered. There is no need to refer to the rasis either from Ravi or any other planet to justify some of the ‘auspicious’ or ‘inauspicious’ results. We can resort to the concept of averaging to have a broad understanding of gross effects from the Ashtakavarga chart. Let us take the E.C. again and explain this. A glance at the Samudayaka Ashtakavarga chart indicates that the native has a minimum of Ashtakavarga points as 21 in Thula rasi and a maximum of 39 points in Kanya rasi. We can take the average of these two figures, which comes to 30 as the reference Ashtakavarga points. The transits of the planets over the year result in variations in the cumulative Ashtakavarga points for any period. The transit positions of planets in different rasis can be calculated, say for every week and combined Ashtakavarga points are then calculated for every week. We can plot this variation in the form of a graph. The graph depicts gross variations in the samudayaka Ashtakavarga for every week. This variation Ashtakavarga graph may be drawn for any year under consideration. From this we may be able to draw some conclusions. The advantage of this graphical method is at a glance the whole year can be judged. A computer program was written for this purpose.
With a view to having more insight into the interpretation of Ashtakavarga chart, horoscopes of the people born on the same date (August 25, 1952) were collected and analysed. The set consists of one US Congressman, one US football player, one British musician, one Sri Lankan cricketer, one scientist and one administrator. The last two are twins. The Ashtakavarga chart for the twins is same and in other cases except for minor variations, is very much similar. I could not explain the auspicious events that occurred in their lives at vastly different time periods based on their natal charts leave alone Ashtakavarga chart. My failure, I attribute to my inability to comprehend the full implications of the natal chart and the subtle movements of the planets and lagna, as was rightly pointed out by the venerable sage Parasara.
