Ashtakavarga
Scoring every sign in the chart out of eight
Ashtakavarga is the one place classical Jyotish hands you a number. Each sign accumulates points — bindus — contributed by the seven grahas and the lagna, giving a strength map of the whole chart at a glance, and a far better way to judge a transit than "which house is Saturn in". This chapter covers how the numbers are built, what they mean, and where they stop.
