Phaladeepika
कृतेऽष्तवर्गे सति कारकर्क्षात्- यद्भावमुक्ताङ्कमुपैति खेटः । तद्भावपुष्टिं सशुभोऽशुभो वा करोत्यनुक्ते विपरीतमेव ॥ १४॥
When the Ashtakavarga (of any planet) has been computed, note the house that contains the highest number of benefic dots and what Bhava it represents, reckoning the house occupied by the Karaka planet as the Lagna or the first house. When a planet-whether benefic or malefic-transits that house, it advances that Bhava, that is, will produce good effects. If otherwise, that is, when the planet transits a house containing a few or no benefic dots, the reverse will be the case.
