Sarvartha Chintamani

Sarvartha Chintamani is one of the prominent books of astrology belonging to ancient India. It was written by a revered person named Venkatesh Sharma during the 13th century.

Sarvartha Chintamani deals mostly with the effects of each house in the natal chart. The major part of the book, nearly half, is devoted to these effects. The remaining sections contain the descriptions about the planets and their effect of the lifespan and prosperity.

According to this text, the sun and the moon never retrograde. The author further adds that there is a clear line of distinction between the malefic and benefic forces, although it may show contrarily in the natal charts.
