Objective:
The aim of this short article is to present to the reader in a concise form a snapshot of application
of Ashtakavarga in longevity analysis of an individual.
Introduction
Ashtakavargha system is devised as a numerical scheme of interpretation that lets us easily see a
snapshot assessment of the strength of a house through a unique point system. The
Ashtakavargha system is a method of calculating the powers of the planets relative to each other.
Therefore, it can be used in any chart i.e. all the divisional charts, along with Chalita Bhava
charts (diurnal charts) and even with Horary Astrology. This system also gives the power of each
planet for all twelve houses. For each and every house, all seven planets contribute their power
or strength in terms of numerical value. This makes it easy to compare the powers of the planets
for each house. There is no other system which can give such a clear cut view of the comparative
strengths of all the planets.
By employing the Ashtakavargha system along with other principals, the following things can be
determined with great accuracy:
In this study we have taken data of Shivadasan Hari a prominent Nadi astrologer who expired
recently.

Method of Pairs
1. lord of lagna in fixed house and lord of 8 th house in movable sign gives short life
combination
2. Saturn in moveable Rashi and moon in fixed Rashi gives medium life combination
3. Lagna sign is common sign and Hora Lagna Mithuna is common sign, hence medium life
since medium life is common , we can take it as medium life and incidentally the person also
died at 50 years which falls well inside medium life compartment.
Rule: Total the bindus in Saturn's Ashtakavargha from lagna to the sign occupied by
Saturn. Total also the bindus from saturn till lagna, these two numbers will indicate the age
when the person is likely to suffer from disease or misfortunes . the total of the above two
also indicates the ages of trouble .
Let us analyze the above rule for the chart under consideration
From the Saturn Ashtakavargha below we see that the figures are 17 and 30 respectively , total of
which comes around 47 and incidentally he was not keeping well since past 2 years and died at
50 years

1. If there is more than one planet in a sign its term of life should be reduced by (0.5)
2. If the years constituted by planets exceeds 27 then same shall be made equal or lesser to
27 before reduction.
3. If a planet is debilitated one half must be deducted
4. when the same planet is subjected to several reductions, highest must be deducted.
After the necessary calculations and reduction the age comes around 52 which is almost
nearby to 50 actual years which the person lived.
