AshtakavargaIn Vedic Astrology, Ashtakvarga finds important
place. This is a great aid to Vedic Astrology particularly for
timing the event through transiting planets. Besides, it indicates
the strength ofplanets as well as houses.
Ashtakvarga is a samskrit word that can be divided into two
syllables - one is Ashtak (Eight) and other is Varga (Chart.). So
meaning of Ashtakvarga is Eight Charts. In Ashtakvarga, thereare 8
source of reference - 7 planets only (Rahu & Ketu are shadow
planets) and one Lagna. Lagna is something that has to perceive all
the affects of all seven planets as per theiraccidental position in
the horoscope. In return Lagna also influences planets. This is why
Parashara has advocated to consider eight source of energy (7
planets & 1 Lagna) inAshtakavarga. In this system, each and
every planet including Lagna influences one and another in
particular way or other w.r.t their natal position. In any
horoscope ascendant is taken asthe epitom of promises therein. So
when Lagna is got influenced obviously other houses, which are in
existence only due to Lagna, also get influenced. When such
influence is to be shownin charts, eight charts are needed to
prepare which are known Ashtakvarga.
Through Ashtakavarga, an astrologer studies and quantifies the
mutual influence of planets in Prastar Ashtakvarga, Bhinnashtaka
Varga, Sarvashtakavarga and Samuday Ashtakvarga (forGochar) with
respect to their accidental placement in the Sign and Houses. In
Vedic Astrology, there is no other astrological aid that reveals so
demonstratively the matter underconsideration. This is why, it has
been said that through Ashtakavarga, even a dull astrologer also
can predict the thing accurately.
