Ashtakavarga API

Calculate Ashtakavarga bindhu (points) for each planet and sign - essential for transit predictions and timing events.

/v2/astrology/ashtakavarga

Overview

Ashtakavarga is a point-based system where each planet contributes bindhu (points) to signs. Higher points = better results when planet transits that sign.

  • Bhinnashtakavarga (BAV): Individual planet's points across 12 signs
  • Sarvashtakavarga (SAV): Combined points from all planets per sign
  • Transit Prediction: Good transits when planets pass high-point signs
  • Maximum Points: 8 per planet per sign, 337 total for SAV

Interpretation Guide

SAV 28+ (Good)

Transits through this sign give positive results

SAV below 28 (Weak)

Transits may bring challenges and delays
