We all know that every graha reflects our karma-past-present-future.

Fruits of Karma- can be good or bad

Fruits of Karma- can be suffering or blessing

Along with D1, D9, Chalit – Astakvarga also can be used as a secondary tool for confirming prediction or to find out what exactly is our karma in this life or where do we need to focus in this life.

Are we here to suffer or enjoy the fruits of our karma?

As many say that Astakvarga is only used for transit – but what has been found is that it can also be used to find out karma of this current life that is areas which are problematic for us or areas which need more focus and attention).

Major Findings

Scribe has found that Higher Astakvarga points in a house causes More Issues In Our life and we have to deal with it more in our lives.

More Points mean More Karma towards that house (not necessarily suffering/struggle)

Less points means less karma towards that house (not necessarily enjoyment).

Don’t forget fruits of karma can be suffering/struggle or enjoyment depending on result of full chart.

We also know that each of 7 grahas gives points to each house.

If more points in a particular house is given by or posited in 6th, 8th, 12th lord – there is suffering/struggle related to karaktatwas of that house (magnitude of suffering again depends on total points of that house) vice-versa.

Following steps need to be considered before drawing a conclusion-

Graha which gives highest points to a particular house, that graha owns which houses in D1.
What kind of influence that graha has upon it (see D1 to confirm, like aspect, conjunction).
Check planets giving highest points to a particular house are afflicted or not in D1.

Let’s check a few charts.

Step 1– Graha which is giving highest points to a particular house, that graha owns which houses in D1.

–The highest points to 6^th house has been given by Sun, sun is the above chart rules 4^th house, Sun in this chart represents significance of 4^th I.e. property, house, peace of mind, mother, public in general etc.

Step 2 – . What kind of influence that graha has upon it (see D1 to confirm, like aspect, conjunction).
