Ashtakavarga gives each of the seven classical grahas a Bhinnashtakavarga (BAV): a row of 0–8 benefic bindus per sign, contributed by the seven grahas and the ascendant. Sarvashtakavarga (SAV) adds the seven graha rows sign by sign. Classical totals expect 337 bindus in SAV and fixed row sums for the Sun through Saturn. Enter birth details to see the SAV chart, per-house strength against the 28 bindu reference, the full BAV matrix, and optional Shodhana and Shodhya Pinda tables when they appear on your chart.

FAQ
Ashtakavarga questions
What is Sarvashtakavarga?
SAV adds the BAV rows of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn sign by sign. The classical grand total is 337 bindus; the ascendant contributes bindus to each row but its own BAV is not part of SAV.
How do I read house strength?
Per house, 28 bindus is the traditional average. At or above 28 is considered strong; below 25 is weak. These are fixed reference lines from classical tables.
Do I need birth time?
House numbering follows the ascendant. Without a reliable time we show bindus by sign only and hide house labels.
Where do the bindu numbers come from?
All bindus, Shodhana and Pinda values are derived from your birth chart using standard Parashari Ashtakavarga rules.
