This assessment of transit of a planet with respect to 7 planets and Ascendant is known as Ashtakavarga. If Saturn is in benefic places from five or more natal positions then it is benefic in transit. And if Saturn is in 4 or less benefic places then it is bound to give malefic results in proportion to less benefic places.
Ashtakavarga means combination of eight ie. combination of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn the Ascendant. Rahu and Ketu are not taken into consideration.
Let us take an example of the Sun in natal chart. Sun in transit gives benefic results in 1,2,4,7,8,9,10,11 signs from his natal sign. Similarly other planets give benefic results in certain signs from natal Sun sign.
In the same way various planets give benefic results from various natal planets.
How much is the beneficence of a particular planet in a particular sign, is called ‘Bhinna Ashtakava varga (BAV)‘.
When various planets collectively provide beneficence to a sign or house is called ‘Samudaya or Sarva Ashtakava varga (SAV)‘.
Natural malefic planets like Mars and Saturn have total of less than or around 40 in SAV as they deliver maximum malefic results through karma.
Jupiter, Venus can go above 50.
