Basics of Astakavarga

----------

Dear Krushnaji and List,

This question maybe simple, yet i haven't been satisfied with any

answers on the same, hence i pose it to you.

1) Why do the Sapta-grahas and the Lagna confer the 8 chakras of Asta-

Ka-Varga?

2) Why were the nodes excluded from this scheme, yet the Lagna

included?

3) What is the basis for the individual distributions of bindus/seeds

to the various positions from the asta-graha, in the specific varga,

be it Lagna, Surya, Chandra, etc - Varga?

Do not be neglectant to answer with Sanskrit terminology, as some

terms are easier to understand in sanskrit than in english.

I deeply hope you reply.

Best wishes

Visti

Dear Vist Larsen,

My answer below your question:

This question maybe simple, yet i haven't been

satisfied with any answers on the same, hence i pose

it to you.

1) Why do the Sapta-grahas and the Lagna confer the 8

chakras of Astaka-Varga?

Krushna: SEVEN Planets are considered as main planets.

In ancient books only seven planets have been given

Importance. Now Lagna is a most important factor in a

chart. Sun in 4th house have different meaning then in

5th house. Sun in 4th will deny share in father's

property. Generally the person is living away from his

parents. Sun in 2nd keeps the person inspite of ample

food is available. It is immaterial in which sign Sun

is situated. We count houses from Lagna. This way all

the planets have different result house wise with

respect to Lagna. This is the reason Lagna have got

importance in AV system.

2) Why were the nodes excluded from this scheme, yet

the Lagna included?

Krushna: Nodes are included in directly. Nodes

represents the Lord of the sign and lord of

Constellation. Nodes gives the result as per the lords

of the sign and Constillation. Again Nodes are having

one sided effect. The Planets are effected by Nodes,

but have you heard Nodes are effected by Planets?

Compairing the Lagna, Lagna indicates the

Individual. The Planets from Lagna, and Lagna from

Planets have some effect. All the houses from Lagna

are having different meanings. You must be aware of

the names given to different houses.

3) What is the basis for the individual distributions

of bindus/seeds to the various positions from the

asta-graha, in the specific varga, be it Lagna, Surya,

Chandra, etc - Varga?

Krushna: You must be aware of some prominent results

for Example Jupiter in 12th house from Moon or Lagna.

No marriage in India Or any Shubh Work is not done

when Jupiter is in 12th house from Moon or Lagna.

Saturn and Mars gives good result in 10th house, 3rd,

6th, and 11th house. What is base for this. Same thing

is taken in Astakvarg. The places where the planets

gives good result from Lagna, Moon and other planets

are alloted one point for that place. In this way

calculating for all planets and effect from each

other, we get cumulative effect of all the planets.

And this is Astakvarg.

In ancient books this is given say for Sun :

In Sanskrit:

Swarakribhyo dinesh: swasukhmrutitap:

khastalabhaddyat: I

Shukradstariri:fesvaritanyatpolabhavatri

surejyatII

Chandrallabharikarmatrishu

shashitanayatsnatyadharmatmajeshu I

Prokto lagnadvayaynabupchayagruhagat:

suprashastostavargat II

Meaning: Sun gives good result from itself,

Mars and Saturn in the places 2,4,8,9,10,7,11 and 1st.

It gives good result being in the places 7th,6th,or

12th places from Venus. From Jupiter it gives good

result for the places 6th,5th,9th,and 11th. From Moon

it gives good result for the places 11th,6th,10th and

3rd. From Mercury 12th,11th 10th,9th,5th 6th,and 3rd.

From Lagna 12th, 4th, 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th.

All the seven planets and Lagna give

Astakvarg.

Do not be neglectant to answer with Sanskrit

terminology, as some terms are easier to understand in

sanskrit than in english. I deeply hope you reply.

It is difficult to write Sanskri sloke with

proper pronounsation. Any how I tried to give one

Sloke. I hope you might have got the answer for your

question.

I know You are a good astrologer, So you can

follow this system very easily. Some one call this

system as Micro Astrology. For better understanding

this system one should have basic knowledge of

Astrology. You can make better use of this system.

Dear Krushna,

Thankyou for your blessings.

Regarding the first two questions i'm still abit unclear, let me elaborate:

The Sapta-graha are indeed highlighted alot in scriptures, as are the Nava and Asta-graha at times, when we talk about various Karaka, i.e. Naisargika, Chara and Sthira Karaka.

Now the Sthira Karaka are only 7 and constitute the preservation or destruction of our material bodies, hence Nodes are left out of this scheme. Similarly we also have the Sapta-rishi (7 rishis) and Sapta-Rasa (7 oceans/juices) which revolve around the Sapta-Dweepa (7 islands).

Now these are planetary schemes which are used for certain purposes to understand astrology, specifically the creation.

How do the 8 varga refer to any of the above schemes, or does this have a different scheme?
