The '''''Bhrigu Saṃhitā''''' is a Sanskrit [[astrology|astrological]] ([[Jyotish]]a) treatise attributed in its introduction to [[Bhrigu|Maharishi Bhrigu]], one of the [[Saptarishi]]s (seven sages) of the Vedic period. Its introductory chapter states that it was compiled by the saptrishi uttaradhikari out of compassion for humanity so that humanity could cope with the pressures of its existence and move towards a more spiritual nature.<ref>[http://www.starsnu.org/bhrigu-samhita.aspx Bhrigu Samhita] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527233101/http://www.starsnu.org/bhrigu-samhita.aspx |date=27 May 2010 }}</ref><ref>[https://www.amarujala.com/photo-gallery/astrology/predictions/history-and-mystery-of-bhrigu-jyotish History and Mystery of Brigu] [[Amar Ujala]].</ref> The Bhrigu Samhita claims to contain predictions about current and future lives as well as information about past lives.<br />

<br />
Bhrigu's ashram 'Deepostak' was located near [[Dhosi Hill]] in present-day Haryana-Rajasthan border in India. Major parts of the Bhṛgu Saṃhitā were lost or destroyed.<br />
<br />
Maharishi Bhrigu was the first compiler of predictive astrology. He compiled about 500,000 horoscopes and recorded the life details and events of various persons. This formed a database for further research and study. This study culminated in the birth of the science (''[[Śāstra]]'') of determining the quality of time ([[Hora (astrology)|Horā]]) and is the ''[[Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra]]''.<br />
<br />
These Horoscopes were based upon the planetary positions of the [[Sun]], [[Moon]], [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], [[Venus]], [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], [[Saturn]], [[Rāhu]] (North Node of the Moon) and [[Ketu (mythology)|Ketu]] (South Node of the Moon).<br />
<br />
After that, Maharishi Bhṛigu gave his predictions on different types of horoscopes compiled by him with the help of Lord [[Gaṇeśa]] in a brief and concise manner. The total permutations/possible horoscope charts that can be drawn with this is about 45 million. Maharishi taught this art of predictions to his son ([[Shukra|Śukra]]) and other pupils. Currently a part of Bhrigu samhita is available in Hoshiarpur/Sultanpur district of current Indian Punjab state and Varanasi district of current Indian uttar Pradesh state. Many people have found their horoscope in this part of world.<br />
