HOW TO CALCULATE ASHTAVARGHA FOR SHANI?

Method of Calculating the inner strength of Shani in your Horoscope:

There is a popular proverb in Tamil

Don't believe your eyes; they can always cheat you
But believe in your intelligence, it will not let you down. 

Using this Proverb, we can calculate the real strength of all Planets. Here, we calculate the strength of Shani by ourselves. The real strength of the Shani is being calculated by its strength in the Ashtavargha chart. We calculate the strength of Shani in the form of "Counts".

The total count of the Shani in the Ashtavargha table is 39. We have 12 Zodiac signs. If we divide the 39 counts by 12 zodiac signs @ 39/12 = 3 counts in all the 12 zodiac signs and we still have 3 counts left. That is, Shani has to be get minimum of 3 counts for each zodiac sign. The remaining 3 counts will be allocated to 3 zodiac signs. You must understand that the Shani has to get a minimum of 3 counts to remain strong. The below mentioned table indicates the possible results occurring due to the various strength of Shani.

Thus the Shani will have 3 counts in 9 zodiac signs and 4 counts in 3 zodiac signs.

9 zodiac signs X 3 counts = 27
3 zodiac signs X 4 counts = 12
                                         -------
Total                                     39
                                        --------

But always Shani attain different strength in every horoscope. Because the Ashtavargha strength of Shani is calculated on the basis of everyone's Rasi Chart or Lagna Kundali in the natal horoscope.

Step 9:  Take the position of Lagna as the first house. Here the lagna is placed at Libra - Thula Rasi. The Lagna gives strength (count) to Shani from its position to 1, 3, 4, 6, 10 and 11 only. The Lagna's count is given in Pink color Hautin. 

Now we make the calculations: Total the counts in each Zodiac Sign. Now we get the results. 

Thus the Shani gets strength as per the details given below:

Results: Though the Shani is the benefice planet for this Thula Lagna natives, it is getting absolute "0" strength for the Kumbha Rasi. Thus looking at the Lagna chart and coming to the conclusion based on the position of the planets can proves to be wrong and sometimes could turn dangerous too.

In the chart that is given as example, the natives belongs to Thula Rasi and Thula Rasi. The Shani becomes a beneficial planet both for the Thula Lagna & Thula Rasi natives. Here the Shani would be unable to deliver anything good to the natives due to its poor strength in the Kumbha Rasi.
