Ashtakavarga

   Ashtakavarga is a unique and accurate method used for predictions through transits,  in vedic astrology taught by "Sage Parasara". Ashta means eight and varga means division/group. Ashtakavarga uses 7 planets(sun,moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn) and lagna for its calculations and chaaya graha rahu and ketu are omitted. In ashtakavarga calculation each rasi is divided into 8 parts or division. Each division has a span of 3:45'.  The 1st division of each rasi is ruled by saturn, the 2nd division of each rasi is ruled by jupiter, the 3rd division of each rasi is ruled by mars, the 4th division of each rasi is ruled by sun, the 5th division of each rasi is ruled by venus, the 6th division of each rasi is ruled by mercury, the 7th division of each rasi is ruled by moon, the 8th division of each rasi is ruled by the lagna.
     Gochara is just 1/8 of ashtakavarga, thus ashtakavarga predictions are more accurate as it calculates the strength of a planet from every planet and lagna, but not just from moon. If a transiting planet has high points in ashtakavarga and has a weak / bad placement of house from gochara, the native is bestowed with auspicious results according to ashtakavarga points.

       List of points for auspicious and inauspicious results in ashtakavarga charts.

• Inauspicious or bad if a planet scores 0,1,2,3 points.
• Average or mixed results are expected if a planet scores 4 points.
• Auspicious or good results are expected if a planet scores 5,6,7,8 points.

In ashtakavarga of sun, if strong sun scores highest points, then the native will be a great politician or vip.
In ashtakavarga of moon, if strong moon scores highest points, then the native will possess a strong mind and will be well known for that.
In ashtakavarga of mars, if strong mars scores highest points, then the native will be  a great leader, commander or ceo.
In ashtakavarga of mercury, if strong mercury scores highest points, then the native will be well known orator and writer who possess excellent communication skills.
In ashtakavarga of jupiter, if strong jupiter scores highest points, then the native will be well known consultant, teacher, professor, guru, master.

   If 1st house or lagna has has highest points , then the native will be independent and successful or viceversa.
   If the 12th house has least points, it is considered to be good as it is the house of profit and losses.
   If the 10th house has equal or more points than 9th house and 11th house should possess more points than 10th and 12th house should have lower points than 11th, then financial prosperity and growth is considered.

GajaKesari Yoga

Gaja means Elephant and Kesari means Lion, so it goes by the name GajaKesari yoga.This yoga is formed when Jupiter and Moon are in  kendras (1,4,7,10) from each other. Either of these two planets is in exaltation, the auspiciousness of the yoga increases.

In the classic texts, like SageMantreshwars's Phaladeepika, the Gajakesari yoga is praised.
"A person with this yoga will destroy his enemies like a lion, will address assembly with wisdom in a noble and intellectual manner. The native will be passionate and emotional in his behaviour, will enjoy long life, will attain high reputation and will be intelligent.They will acheive everything by their own valour."

Gajakesari yoga is commonly found in 1 in 3 persons charts.The strength of the yoga depends upon the position, aspect and placement of Moon and Jupiter. These planets should not be debilitated and be associated with malefic planets, especially Rahu and Saturn. If Jupiter is retrograde, combusted or debilitated, this yoga would not work. In this case, the native cannot enjoy the benefits of this yoga. If Moon is associated with Rahu and Saturn this yoga does not work. This yoga works good for neechabanga Moon and Jupiter. The yoga shows results during the Mahadasa and Antardasa periods of Jupiter and Moon..

Gajakesari yoga is found in the charts of great persons like Mahatma Gandhi and Kennedy.
