Ashtakavarga Calculator — Sarvashtakavarga & Bhinnashtakavarga
A free Ashtakavarga calculator: compute your chart and it instantly builds the classical 8-source bindu tables for all 7 planets plus the combined Sarvashtakavarga — no signup, no paid report.
Ashtakavarga ('eight divisions') is a classical Parashari point system. For each of 7 planets' own chart, every one of 8 reference points — the 7 classical planets plus your Ascendant — contributes a bindu (point) to specific houses, counted from that reference point's own sign, using a fixed table identical across every classical source. Sarvashtakavarga adds all 7 planetary totals together into one combined 337-bindu map of your whole chart's sign-by-sign strength.
Traditionally, a sign carrying more bindus is read as stronger and more supportive — for a planet transiting through it, or for the house it occupies natally. This tool shows the full sign-by-sign breakdown for Sarvashtakavarga and each individual planet, computed from your real sidereal positions rather than a simplified approximation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ashtakavarga?
A classical Vedic point ('bindu') system: for each of 7 planets, all 8 reference points (the 7 classical planets plus your Ascendant) contribute points to specific houses counted from their own sign. The result is a 12-sign map of where each planet — and the chart overall — is strongest.
What is Sarvashtakavarga?
The combined total: adding together all 7 planets' individual Ashtakavargas (Sun through Saturn) sign by sign. It always totals 337 bindus spread across the 12 signs — a real arithmetic check this tool's output satisfies.
What does a high bindu count in a sign mean?
Traditionally, a sign carrying more bindus (commonly cited threshold: 4 or more) is read as a stronger, more supportive sign for a planet transiting through it, or for the house it occupies natally — a classical rule of thumb, not a guaranteed outcome.
Is the Lagna's own Ashtakavarga part of Sarvashtakavarga?
No — Sarvashtakavarga is traditionally the sum of the 7 planetary Ashtakavargas only. The Ascendant's own Ashtakavarga (shown here too) is a separate, less commonly used minor chart.
Why do Rahu and Ketu not appear as sources?
The classical 8-source Ashtakavarga table (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Lagna) predates the lunar nodes being included as full contributing points — every Parashari source uses the same 8, not 10, sources.
