In 6th, 11th and 12th places from Venus,
In 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th places from Jupiter.
All other places are to be understood as Malefic.
Grah in their own, friendly or Upachaya houses (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th from Lagna) invariably advance the benefic effects revealed by Astakavarga.
Grah in their depression, inimical or Apachaya places generally fail to sustain whatever good may appear from the Astakavarga process.
The Upachaya and Apachaya places to be reckoned with respect to the Lagna or the Moon at the time of birth and not by the position of Grah at the time of its transit (Gochara).
Several places reckoned with respect to the Rasi and not Bhava, occupied by the 7 Grah and Lagna, at the time of birth, out of 8 counting, If benefic effects preponderates the malefic effect then the net result is beneficial to the native.
Calculations of Benefic or Malefic, Total points eight,
8/8 Benefic, 8 benefic points and none malefic = 1 Full Benefic,
7-1/8 , 7 benefic and 1 malefic, = 3/4 Benefic, 1/4 Malefic,
6-2/8, 6 benefic and 2 malefic, = 1/2 Benefic and 1./2 Malefic,
5-3/8, 5 benefic and 3 Malefic, = 1/4 Benefic and 3/4 Malefic,
4-4/8, 4 benefic and 4 Malefic, = 0 Benefic and 0 Malefic, Neutral,
So on,
Astakavarga is used in connection with gochara (Transits),
e.g
Saturn transiting the 3rd, 6th and 11th places from the Moon is good provided the benefic points in those places are above 4.
48 points is the maximum fixed to pass a nativity for good in all respects, so the native will be free from worry or loss.
Number of benefic points (dots) and the effects related for Sun and all other Grahs.
If 1 benefic point then - Disease, Miseries, dangers,
If 2 benefic points then - Mental anguish, condemnation by one's king and deprivation of food by robbers.
If 3 benefic points then - Bodily privations and discomforts due to a wandering life as much mental uneasiness.
If 4 benefic points then - mixed kind of fruit consisting of pleasure and pain, expenditure and income.
If 5 benefic points then - Attainment of good apparel, children, association with good acquisition of learning and wealth.
If 6 benefic points then - Secures a form fresh and fascinating, excellence of character, victory in war, wealth, fame, strength and fine vehicles.
If 7 benefic points then - Brings honour such as accrue from the possession of horses and other means of transport, an army and superior riches.
If 8 benefic points then - It opens up a prospect of kingly glory graced with its seven fold adjuncts.
General comments:
A Grah is invariably benefic in his own varga in any sign which has five or more points, or it yields no good effect and in a sign which is without any points it becomes positively hurtful.
A Grah produces untoward effects If it is short of benefic points (less then 4) irrespective of its position in Exaltation sign, or friendly sign etc.
A Grah produces invariably good effects If benefic points are in excess of the prescribed minimum, even If they are placed in a bad position or in depression or Inimical sign or portions.
(My comments -Nonsense)
When Saturn passes through an empty (void of figures) house in the Astakavargas of the Sun and the other planets, he occasions on a large scale diseases dangers from enemies and other troubles to the father and other relatives whom the several other Grah represent.
