DIVISIONAL CHARTS

Each House of Lagna chart denotes various significations e.g.
various significations of some of the house are as under:-
Second House:-
Family, Wealth, Health of spouse, Longevity of self, art
collection, right eye, speech etc.
Fourth House:-
Mother, House, Land, Happiness, education, conveyance,
success in examinations, friends, property, general comforts,
heart, domestic life, accident of road, rail or walking etc.
Twelfth House:-
Harm, Punishment received, confinement, expenditure,
donations (given), marriage, vedic sacrifices, fines paid, sexual
enjoyment outside wedlock, contacting sexually transmitted
diseases, weakness in sexual acts, loss of wife, losses in
marriage, separation from own people etc.
The above indicates that various significations of each House
touch almost every aspect of life. All these aspects are not
simultaneously good or bad in one’s life. Divisional charts help
us by isolating the event governed by a particular divisional
chart from those governed by a House.
Divisional charts are studied and analyzed for following two
purposes :-
1. To see the strength of a planet by observing its placement
in various divisions.
109
2. For identifying the results of a particular sector of life by
studying the corresponding divisional chart along with the
concerned house in natal (birth) chart.
Although there is a mention of large no. of divisional charts in
various texts of Astrology, sixteen divisional charts known as
Shodasvargas are considered more important and relevant to
important aspects of life. The details of these charts are as
under:-

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR ANALYSING
DIVISIONAL CHARTS
1. Divisional charts are not independant like Rasi chart. An
event can take place only when it is indicated in Rasi chart.
Event should not be predicted on the basis of divisional
chart alone.
2. A planet becomes powerful if it is exalted, situated in his
own sign, possesses digbala in divisional chart.
3. In divisional chart planets in 4th, 7th, and 10th houses give
very good results. They give good results in 5th, 9th and
11th houses, whereas the 2nd house is neutral in all the
divisional charts.
4. Any planet situated in 3rd, 8th and 12th from ascendant of
a divisional chart gives bad result during his period. Exalted
planets situated in these houses become powerless to give
good results.
5. Benefics on both sides of ascendant of a divisional chart
or of a planet increase good effects. Similarly malefics on
both sides increase bad effects.
6. Principles of Dasa – Bhukti are also applied to divisional
charts to judges the effects.
7. The effects of transits are also judged from divisional chart.
8. A debilitated planet in divisional chart gives bad results in
his Dasa or Bhukti concerning aspect of life denoted by
that divisional chart unless there is a cancellation of
debilitation e.g. Debilitated planet in
112
Navamsa - causes problems in married
Sapthamsa - causes unhappiness about children.
Chaturvimsamsa - causes dislocation or obstacles in
education.
9. Any planet placed in 3rd or 8th house in any divisional
chart causes death like effects during his Dasa or Bhaukti.
e.g. To spouse in Navamsa
To profession in Dasamsa (like retirement or resignation)
10. A Planet situated in the same sign both in Rasi chart and
any divisional chart is called ‘Vargottam’ with reference
to that divisional chart. The results of Vargottam planets
are always good. The results of Vargottam planets as per
different astrological texts are as under:-
Saravali - Good Results
Chandrakalanadi - Results of Rajyoga and enjoyment
Phaladipika - Results as if planet is placed in own sign
Let us now see how various divisional charts are cast and
what are the principles of interpretation of some of the
important divisional charts.

HORA (2 PARTS OF 15 degree each)
Since Hora chart is studied to know about the wealth of native,
the same is studied in conjunction with second house of lagna
chart. In respect of odd signs first Hora is of Sun whereas
second Hora is of Moon. In even signs first Hora is of Moon
whereas second Hora is of Sun. In Hora chart Rahu and Ketu
are always together.

Sat 5s – 150 – 28’
Rahu 10s – 20 – 44’
Ketu 4s – 20 – 44’
Principles of interpretation of Hora chart:
1. Jupiter, Sun and Mars give pronounced effects in Hora of
Sun. The Moon, Venus and Saturn do so in Moon’s Hora.
Mercury is equally effective in both Horas.
2. In case of even Rasi, the Hora of Moon with be powerful.
In odd Rasi, Sun’s Hora will be powerful.
3. The effect due to a Hora will be derived fully if planet is in
the first one-third part of Hora. The effect will be medium
or nil according to the placement being in second or third
part of Hora.
4. During operational period of planets placed in Hora of
Sun, a native earns and accumulates wealth by own efforts.
During the planets placed in Hora of Moon, earning and
accumulation of wealth comes natural i.e. without much
effort.

malefic planets, it causes death of cattle’s in native’s
house. There should be no purchase as of cattle’s in such

lost, direction in which taken, place from where it is lost
and locality in which it is deposited or concealed.
Lagna Lord : Age and caste of thief
Navamsa : The nature of article lost
Drekkna : Nature and form of thief.
3. Study of Drekkna helps us to analyze general
characteristics of persons. For this purpose depending
upon characteristics of each Drekkna, these have been
divided into four groups namely kroor, watery, saumya
and mixed. The characteristics of persons born under
these rising Drekkna will be as under:-

The attainment of a person in life are solely dependant on
successful married life, that is why, in kalachakra, the house
opposite lagna has been allotted for marriage. Whether a
person will have mental compatibility with spouse is considered
with the relationship between Lagna/ Moon of Rasi chart with
Lagna/ Moon of Navamamsa chart. The marriage may be
both bliss and bane. The strong placement of seventh house,
its lord and significator together with Moon and other houses
connected with that i.e. 1st house (self health), 2nd House
(family), 4th House ( domestic peace and general happiness
of life), 5th House (progeny), 8th House (sexual enjoyments),
12th House (bed comforts), good position of these planets in
Navamamsa with benefic influence on these provide the native
with timely and happy marriage. On the other hand if these
planets are weak by debilitation/ combustion/ placement in
dushtasthanas/ debilitated in Navamamsa/ afflicted by
association or aspect of malefic will make the marriage baneful.
Navamamsa charts is considered so important that many
astrologers analyze this chart like lagna chart and give equal
weightage. Because of its importance, this chart is always cast

Dasamamsa chart can pinpoint factors causing delays and
temporary disappointments in profession.
Principles of Interpretation of Dasamamsa Chart.
1. In Dasamamsa Lagna assumes a tremendous significance.
If Lagna is aspected by benefics, it becomes strong, then
it may be presumed that career of the native stands on a
good foundation provided, of course, Lagna chart does
not tell altogether different results.
2. If powerful Sun is posited in upachaya houses aspected
by Jupiter, native is likely to get recognition and eminence
in career.
3. If Dasa lord is strong in lagna chart and poised to give
good results but lacks adequate strength in Dasamamsa,
such Dasa lord may create uncertainties, under critical
sub – periods. A sub dasa lord unfavourably placed in
Dasamamsa from Dasa lord and afflicted with malefics
may even temporarily hold up anticipated results.
4. Planets in tenth house in Dasamamsa during their ruling
periods will better the prospects of one’s career.
5. If there is no planet in tenth house in Dasamamsa, then its
lord during its ruling period will confer honour to the native.
6. Planets aspecting lord of tenth house in Dasamamsa
should also be considered powerful with respect to one’s
profession.
7. The period of planets in kendra of Dasamamsa will be a
mile stone in one’s career.

SHASHTIAMSA
(60 Parts of 30’ each)
The counting of Shashtiamsa is done from the same sign for
all signs. To findout the Shashtiamsa lord, ignore the sign
position of planet and take degree etc. of that planet, multiply
that figure by 12 and add 1. The resultant number is the sign
from the sign whose Shashtiamsa is to be known is which the
Shastiamsa falls and the lord of that sign will be the Shastiamsa
lord.
Suppose we have to find out the Shastiamsa of the Sun’s
position 1s4011’. The sign position is ignored i.e. 1 is ignored.
The remainder 4011’ is multiplied by 2, we get 80 – 22’.
Ignoring minutes the degrees are divided by 12 i.e. 8/12, the
remainder being 8 is added to 1 i.e. 8 + 1 = 9. As the Sun’s
