  Assigning bindu values to each planet in each sign involves considering the planetary positions and their dignity (exaltation, own sign, friendly sign, neutral sign, enemy sign, or debilitation). Here's a guide to assigning bindu values: 1.       Exalted: If a planet is exalted in a sign, it receives 8 bindus. 2.       Own Sign (Swakshetra): If a planet is in its own sign, it receives 7 bindus. 3.       Friendly Sign (Mitra Rashi): If a planet is in a friendly sign, it receives 6 bindus. 4.       Neutral Sign (Sama Rashi): If a planet is in a neutral sign, it receives 5 bindus. 5.       Enemy Sign (Shatru Rashi): If a planet is in an enemy sign, it receives 4 bindus. 6.       Debilitated: If a planet is debilitated in a sign, it receives 3 bindus. 7.       Vacant Sign: If a sign does not conta...

  To prepare an Ashtakavarga chart, you'll need to create a table or grid with the twelve signs of the zodiac (Aries to Pisces) listed horizontally and the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) listed vertically. Here's a step-by-step guide to preparing the Ashtakavarga chart: 1.       Draw the Table: Draw a table or grid with 12 rows and 7 columns. 2.       Label the Rows: Label the rows with the names of the twelve signs of the zodiac in their respective order: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. 3.       Label the Columns: Label the columns with the names of the seven planets: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. 4.       Assign Bindu Values: Assign bindu values to each planet in each sign based on its position: ●        Exal...

  Calculating Ashtakavarga scores involves determining the number of bindus (points) received by each planet in each sign of the zodiac. The bindus are derived from the positions of other planets relative to the sign being analyzed. Here's a step-by-step guide to calculating Ashtakavarga scores: 1.       Prepare the Ashtakavarga Chart: Create a table or chart with the twelve signs of the zodiac (Aries to Pisces) listed horizontally and the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) listed vertically. 2.       Assign Bindu Values: Assign bindu values to each planet based on its position in each sign. The bindu values are determined as follows: ●        If the planet is in a sign where it is exalted, it receives 8 bindus. ●        If the planet is in a sign where it is in its own sign (swakshetra), it receives 7 bindus. ●   ...

  In Vedic astrology, "Bhinna Ashtakavarga" refers to a specialized technique used for analyzing the strength and weakness of planets in a birth chart (kundli) based on their placement in different signs. "Ashtakavarga" literally means "eight divisions," and it involves dividing the zodiac into eight equal parts, corresponding to the seven visible planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) plus the Ascendant (Lagna). Here's a brief overview of how Bhinna Ashtakavarga works: 1.       Calculation of Ashtakavarga Scores: For each planet, Ashtakavarga scores are calculated based on the number of benefic (positive) or malefic (negative) bindus (points) it receives in each sign. These bindus are derived from the positions of other planets in relation to the sign being analyzed. The total bindus for each planet across all signs are tabulated to determine its overall strength or weakness. 2.       Bhinna Ashtakavar...

  In the Kalidasa system of Vedic astrology, which is a branch of Jaimini astrology, there are Upagrahas associated with each weekday. These Upagrahas are considered as shadowy or secondary planets that exert subtle influences on various aspects of life, similar to other Upagrahas found in different astrological systems. Here are the weekday-based Upagrahas in the Kalidasa system: 1.       Sunday (Ravivara): The Upagraha associated with Sunday is called "Dhuma." It represents the smoke or haze that obscures clarity and vision. Dhuma Upagraha is said to influence matters related to creativity, intuition, and hidden knowledge. 2.       Monday (Somavara): The Upagraha associated with Monday is called "Vyatipata." It is associated with sudden and unexpected events, accidents, and disruptions. Vyatipata Upagraha is believed to influence matters related to emotional stability, family, and security. 3.     ...

  In the Parashari system of Vedic astrology, Upagrahas are subsidiary or shadowy planets that are not visible to the naked eye but are believed to exert subtle influences on certain areas of life. These Upagrahas are calculated based on specific mathematical formulas and are associated with different factors such as time, position, and planetary alignments. One of the well-known weekday-based Upagrahas in the Parashari system is called "Indu." The Indu Upagraha is associated with the Moon and is calculated based on the weekday of the birth. It represents the brightness or luminosity of the mind and is believed to influence the emotional and psychological state of an individual.

  Upagrahas are shadowy planets in Vedic astrology that are not visible to the naked eye and are considered as secondary or subsidiary to the main planets. They are thought to exert subtle influences on certain areas of life when they align with specific planets or points in the birth chart. There isn't a widely recognized concept of "Sun-based Upagrahas" in traditional Vedic astrology. Upagrahas are typically associated with the nodes of the Moon (Rahu and Ketu), Gulika (also known as Mandi), and other shadowy points calculated based on specific mathematical formulas. However, if you're referring to hypothetical or theoretical points that are associated with the Sun in some way, they could potentially represent additional factors influencing solar energy or Sun-related themes in the birth chart. These points might be considered in specialized branches or techniques of astrology, but they would not be traditionally classified as Upagrahas in the standard Vedic ast...
