The Ashtakavarga has been highly spoken of by the great sages. This is used to ascertain the good and bad effects caused by the planets, in their transits through the Rasis of the zodiac. The meaning of Ashtakavarga is literally the group of 8 things. In other words it is the combination of the good and bad positions of a planet with respect to the 7 planets and the Lagna (8 things). So it is a combination of the benefic and malefic effects in a planet's chart.

To access the Ashtakavarga charts click on the Horoscope tab of the main menu and click on Ashtakavarga button and follow the screen instructions.

You will first see the Ashtakavarga table showing the points for each planet / house, before and after reduction of the points.

Next you will see the effects of the Sarvashtakavarga indicating the total points after reduction for each house. This will also indicate good or bad effects of planets when they transit each of the houses.
