Draws the D8 Ashtamsa varga, the chart used for longevity and eighth-house themes, from birth date, time, and place.

## What you need

Birth date, time, and place. A precise time is required for this varga.

## What you get

The D8 Ashtamsa wheel drawn from those details. Classical use of this chart: Longevity, sudden events, and hidden obstacles. This is a calculated chart view, not a paid PDF (those live under Reports).

## Method

The page posts birth details to the divisional-chart API for slug `ashtamsa-chart`. Positions use Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa.

House meanings follow standard varga practice for this division. Compare with D1 on the lagna-chart page when you need the natal backdrop.
