Ashtakvarga: Concept & Application

The Ashtakvarga system of Astrology is unique. It gives at a glance the complete picture of a person's health, weatlth, finances, spiritual development, profession and the strength and weakness of the horoscope. No other system can predict as accurately the result of transit of planets as Ashtakvarga does. A mere look at the Ashtakvarga Table shows the height a person can rise to in his profession and gives an exact picture of the dasha scheme. Without Ashtakvarga is not possible to know as to why persons like Gulzari Lal Nanda and Charan Singh were Prime Ministers for a short period only as against J.L.Nehru or Indira Gandhi who stayed in power for a much longer duration.

The results of dreaded Saade Sati can be predicted with great accuracy. It shows the circumstances under which period of Saade Sati instead of producing sorrow and disappointment can be a source of strength if the rasis concerned contain requisite number of bindus as calculated according to Ashtakvarga.

The system can also be used in forecasting exact Muhrta under which a person should be married or which direction would one get success or from where to seek a bride. The time to fight an election, give interviews, take medicine, perform auspicious ceremonies or launch a satellite can be accurately forecast under this system. This can also be used for matching horoscope or to find which type of persons will help you in life. This prescribed procedure is simple and the results are hightly accurate.

The present book gives a step-by-step and easy approach to make Ashtakvarga chart and comprehend predictive techniques. This is the only book of its kind that gives plenty of solved examples for practice and makes one proficient in the subject in no time.
