Insights into Divisional Charts

[Khoo Hock Leong]

Hi Learned Members

This thread are some points which I think may be useful on divisonal charts.

First principle ......

The dasa vargas comprise (1) Rasi chart, (2) D-2, (3) D-3, (4) D-7, (5) D-9, (6) D-10, (7) D-12, (8) D-16, (9) D-30, and, (10) D-60.

Out of these, D7 represents sex, D16 pleasures like intense hobbies and D-30 evils and weaknesses.

Now in the Graha pantheon of Vedic Astrology, Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter denotes the court and Mercury, venus and Saturn denotes the peripherals in the court.

The trine rulers for the divisional charts dealing with mundane assistance like career, wealth etc. I feel is better suited for the 1st set of planets ie. the court officials.

D7, D16 and D30 are more suited to the domain for the second set of planets.

If an individual has such a configuration, he would never mix WORK with PLAY.

hi

Next principle ......

The Moon in D24 shows the kind of studies you are inclined to.

In Dharma houses studies on big issues like law, banking, entrepreneurial studies, kingship matters like policy administration, managing assets like corporate takeover, ethics etc.

In Artha houses studies on finance, estate management, public administration, accountancy, hygiene science etc.

In Kama (Air) houses studies on business, general management, specialised subjects, trading, social sciences etc

In Moksha houses, studies on metaphysics, spirituality, Eastern philosophy, astrology, occult matters etc.

My Moon is exalted in Taurus in the 8th Bhava in D24.

Warmest Regards
Hock Leong.

Dear khoo,

Your moon is exalted in the 8th, it means you are interested to get knowledge from scriptures, veda, astrology... You will get the all types of occult knowledge bcz Jupiter aspects on your exalted moon.

My moon is debilitate in D-24 and placed in 5th house, moon is being vargottam here. What should i assume here?

Dear Anilesh

Vargottam planets in debilitation can cause a lot of mischief. You may led astray by subjects that come under the purview of Dharma houses (sse above for a list of these subjects).

Hi

Next principle......

See my earlier post on Shashtiamsa the non-planetary lords. I mentioned that usage of these non-planetary lords is based on two fronts :

(1) The nature of the non-planetary division based on the deity ruling it.

(2) Mundane affairs can be interpreted based on that planet functional lordship in D-1.

In fact we can add two more points using the non-planetary lord division :

(3) If the divisional chart involved is an overall chart like Shashtiamsa, the non-planetary division goodness or badness can also be used to interpret that planet functional lordship in that divisional chart like D-60.

(4) In canse then the divisional chart involved is only to be rad for the specific areas covered under it, non-planetary lordship can be used to see how well it ties in with that planet's lordship of primary karya or secondary karya houses in that divisional chart.

For example :

Jupiter in my chart is in the Shashtiamsa division of Full Moon Complete. It rules the 6th and 9th Bhavas in the Rasi so my father (9th Bhava0 grants me all wishes and usually I find no problem in looking for another job (6th Bhava).

But MORE than that, Jupiter rules my 1st and 10th Bhavas in D-60 and D-60 is an overall chart. In general, my life wishes is generally fulfilled since the Lagna and the 10th Bhava are the two most important pivotal points in a chart pertaining to YOURSELF.

Dear KHOO,

My moon is of Leo Rashi and 29 degree, In D-24 is in 2nd house but it is neither debilitated nor exalted and my moon is wanning too..means weak. In D-1 my moon is in 8th house...which called most malefic house.so what type of effect will it give.....pls can u explain. little bit off topic...
from post it is in dharma house....but its weak too...so will it be good for that kind work.

regards

[anilesh47]

Hii khoo,

thanks for ur reply. I forgot to add that debilitate moon placed in 5th house with Mercury in D-24. Jupiter and venus placed in 9th house of D-24. So here jupiter aspects on Moon and mercury. So it saves the knowledge regarding dharma. Jup will save me from to led astray. Also Moon, jup and venus are in "Antaka" amsa (non planetary lord) where mercury is in "vishwa karma". So mercury here builds the knowledge. and Planets in "Antaka" is blessed by Yamaraj. He know the karmic reaction of different sinful activities.

Above is just my thoughts. I may be wrong. Pls let me know i m right or wrong in above things.

Hi Anilesh

Good analysis.

Hi Maddy

Based on the information you give me, some points in favour of your Moon for D24.

(1) Moon is in Leo the lord of which is the friend of the Moon. Sun is also the most Dharmic planet.

(2) 2nd house in D24 is the house for higher specialised studies like PhD. So the dharmic knowledge you have is of a very high order.

Points not in favour of course you know : Moon is in Rasi Sandhi so there may be critical times when you are unsure of the bearings of yoru moral compass.

Otherwise you can also see the aspects of other natural benefics to your Moon which may help - see Anilesh analysis. The non-planetary lord divisions which Moon plus all the planets aspecting it are in for D24 can also be used to analyse further effects - again see Anilesh analysis.

I can email to you the article by G K Goel on the various non-planetary lords which I email to Anilesh.

Hi

Next principle .....

Shaayan Adi Avastha is a bit inconvenient to use because of the detailed calculation and fixing of your name sounds as well. On the other hand the Avastha involving the age of planet is generally not very powerful and the D-60 non-planetary lord division may not always reveal 100% the full fate of your planet.

So introducing here the D7 and the D12 non-planetary lord divisions. They can turn the fate of the individual around sometimes. D7 deals with your inner self like creativity and ordering of chaos in the external environment and D12 is more powerful than even D9 in assessing the overall fate of an individual (but only half of the areas of his life - see my earlier post on this).

Let's see the non-planetary lord divisions for the D7.

Each division is 4 degrees 17 minutes in size. So 1st division is from 0 degree to 4 degrees 17 minutes, 2nd division is from 4 degree 18 minutes until 8 degree 34 minutes etc. Below is the list of the 7 divisions in a sign giving the upper bound in each case. Counting is in the regular direction whether even or odd signs. Use the Rasi chart of the planets' positions.

Part
No.
1 4 degrees 17 minutes
2 8 degrees 34 minutes
3 12 degrees 51 minutes
4 17 degrees 8 minutes
5 21 degrees 25 minutes
6 25 degrees 42 minutes
7 30 degrees

The deities presiding over the seven divisions are not
gods as such, but represent the spirit of certain
objects/ Rasa which we use for sustaining ourselves.
The seven Rasa in order for odd signs are Kshar
(pungent alkali). Kshir (milk). Dadhi (curdl yoghurt).
Ajyam (Ghee). lkshu Rasa (sugarcane juice). Madya
(wine) and Suddha Jala (pure water). This order is
reversed in even signs starting with pure water. The
significations of each Rasa are as follows:
2.1 Kshar Saptamsha- A native born in this division,
has no comfort from children . Children
aggravate the pain and add insult to injury. The
native suffers humiliation, anxiety & grief
because of them.
2.2 Ksheer Saptamsha - This gives native modest,
faithful & well mannered chjldren. They nourish
& sustain the socia-economic status of parents.
2.3 Dadhi Saptamsha- A native born in this
Saptamsha is blessed with steady, sober, soft
& attractive children. The children are delicate,
tender, possessive and maintain their identity
and give happiness to their parents.
2.4 Ajyam Saptamsha- Such natives are blessed
with righteous, religious & respectful children
who give name, fame & prosperity to the native.
It gives Satwik qualities of service & sacrifice
to an individual.
2.5 Ikshrasa Saptamsha- This gives native sweet
natured, straight forward and comforting
children. As per some, the children could be
rough, strong and firm also.
2.6 Madya Saptamsha- The children of such natives
are fun loving, easy going, full of joy, live in
their own wor1d of illusion but help the native.
2.7 Shuddha Jal Saptamsha- Native is blessed with
chaste, religious, innocent children with clean
habits & upright character who need protection
against company of bad people. They bring
comfort, honour & happiness to the native's
life.

Note the above talk about children but it can be applied to YOURSELF as well. Saptamsa is also an individual chart as indicated earlier.

Ikshrasa Saptamsa (2.5) is the best. It gives the person strength of character but at the same time not unpleasant. Both my Venus and Jupiter are in this division, the natural benefics.

In the next post I will give you the D12 non-planetary lord divisions.

Hi Maddy

If you go by Shilpa's post (from Visti Larsen's research), 2nd Bhava actually deals with Masters and not PhD. I have also personally verified and found that 2nd Bhava has more to deal with Masters rather than what I said above which is PhD based on an article which I got from. For example I have Jupiter in my 2nd Bhava in D24 but Venus in the 7th Bhava in D24. Although I can do my Masters in Jupiter subjects like law, finance and logistics, I would rather prefer to do my PhD on Business Administration (general business topics). This is not to demote the inclination I have for occult and metaphysical subjects which is shown by my Moon in 8th Bhava in Taurus and aspected by Jupiter (as indicated by Aniles).

Whether Masters or PhD, Moon in 2nd Bhava in D24, means the knowledge is cutting edge.

Hi Readers

As promosed, these are the non-planetary divisions for the Dwadarsamsa D-12 which you use in conjunction with the D-7, D-60 and the planet's Avastha ages to delineate the positional strength of a planet.

There are actually 2 patterns of cutting up the divisions (Anilesh, this article you do not have). The one which I am listing here, the famed author Raj Kumar (Ltd - retired) has personally vouched for it, stating his friend has done extensive research on it and verified its accuracy. I have also personally verified it in my chart. But the original source for this delineation is from Parasara (and we know BPHS is 100% correct).

Each deity has an implied meaning and bestows
different results for Lagna or any planet when it falls
in a particular amsha. These deities represent each
Owadasamsha along with their implied meaning as
under:

1st Kuber Lord of wealth, ruling deity of treasure.
2nd Pataoga Sun or the fire.
3rd Hal. Wine or poison .
4th Kirtee The enttlroned.
5th Vihwala Agitated or anguised.
6th Maayaavi Delusionist or delusive.
7th Mohana Bewitching.
8th Kinnara A Mythic with a human body & head of a horse.
9th Sa..". A serpent.
10th Jndra The king of gods.
11th Leela The cosmic delusive olay.
12th Kokila A cuckoo.

Of the deities mentioned above, Kubera, Kirtee, Mohana &
Indra (nos. 1, 4, 7 &10) are most auspicious; Patanga, Maayaavi,
Kinnara & Leela (nos. 2, 6, 8 & 11) are mediocre; and Hala, Vihwala,
Sarpa & Kokila (nos. 3, 5, 9 & 12) are the least auspicious as
stated by Parashar. This system has been amply tested by Justice
S.N. Kapoor and by Dr. Suresh Chandra Mishra.

My Sun the 2nd Lord of my Rasi chart is in Kubera. No wonder I do not worry for a rainy day. Sun also stands for the father.

Hi

Note that for the Dwadarsamsa D-12 divisions above, each span is 2.5 degrees.

So 1st Dwadarsamsa is 0 to 2.5 degrees. Next division is until 5 degrees. Next division is until 7.5 degrees etc. Counting is in the same direction whether for odd or even signs.

Hi

Next principle....

Jataka Parajitha says that the D7 shows you the kind of temperament you have. Benfics like bright and waxing Moon especially on the Ascendant of D7, then followed by Venur or Jupier or Mercury in terms of good effects, will indicate much of the good temperatment of the native. Malefics on the other hand on the Ascendant of D7, will show otherwise.

The 7th Bhava of D7 also shows your relationship with your mate as well both good and bad. The 7th Bhava of D9 (Navamsa) shows the gains (all the good aspects) of your relationship with your mate, 7th Bhava in Navamsa being the 11th to the 9th Bhava in Navamsa, signifying gains.

More that that ....

Take the 7th Bhava of D7 as the Ascendant for your mate and read off accordingly to see the kind of wife you get (just like the 7th Bhava of Navamsa). One can do the same for Navamsa's 7th Bhava as well but that only shows the good side of the character of your mate since the 7th in Navamsa is the gains (11th) to the 9th Bhava in Navamsa which is the karya house.

So refer to the D7 for the complete picture of your mate.

Hi

Let's have a look at my D7.

I have the Moon fully bright on the Ascendant in D7. This shows I understand people very well. My this Moon rules the 7th Bhava in D7. I understand why people interact the way as they do and I seek common grounds when interacting with them. That has always been my motto.

My Venus which is in the 3rd Bhava of D7 is near to full exaltation and the 3rd Bhava is a secondary Bhava which supports the primary Bhava (the 7th fullY). I try to be accommodating to sustain a relationship never taking unfair advantage of others.

The mutual dispositorship between 3rd and 6th Bhava which provides Neecha Bhanga to Merucury and the mutual dispositor rulers being Mercury and Jupiter, shows sometimes I may be too frank and may cause the relationship downfall.

Another pertinent point is that Saturn in the 11th making a 3rd house aspect on the Ascendant of D7 shows I can abruptly end a relationship if I feel I have been unfairly taken advantage of. Saturn also happens to be the Lagna ruler of D7 ie. the Lagnesh.

Hi

Next principle .....

Actually 2 principles.

(1) If the Atmakaraka is found in the Lagna of that divisional chart, then the perosn is lucky in the area of that divisional chart. What he is striving intensely for (Atmakakara) for his soul (the Sun) is easily obtained and manifested and plays a large part of his life. For the trines (5th or 9th), the context of the divisonal chart is also easily obtained, but may not be as large a part of his life as when the Atmakarak is found in the Lagna.

If the Atmakaraka and the Lagna Lord of the Rasi is the same planet in the Rasi, the person would further benefit from the above configuration, as in this case he is striving for his physical self (Lagna Lord) the areas under that divisional chart and with success. So he is more able to say, "Hey, this is really what I want. See how it benefits me physically."

(2) If the Lagna Lord of the Rasi chart (here the first basis is the Lagna Lord) is in a good relationship with all the other planets in that divisional chart (meaning there are no planets in the 6th, 8th and 12th houses from where the Lagna Lord is posited in that divisional chart), predict that the person will do very well in that divisional chart (if there are planets in the 6th, 8th or 12th to where the Lagna Lord is situated in that divisional chart, then the proportion of falling off of well-being for that person in that divisional chart the quantum is calculated accordingly). Planets ruling karya houses in that divisional chart should be given a higher weightage for this configuration Yoga.

Whereas (1) deals with easy access to resources of that divisional chart, (2) here deals with easy access PLUS kingship as well (meaning the person experience the FULL benefits of this divisional chart). If this Lagna Lord happens also to be the Atmakaraka, the benefits comes to him FOR SURE whether earlier or later part of this life.

Now in (2) if the chart happens be an overall chart like D-9 or D-60, look to which Bhava that planet rules in the Rasi chart. The person has success in those areas. So if Jupiter is in angles to the Lagna Lord of the Rasi chart in D-60 and Jupiter rules 9th Bhava and 6th Bhava in the Rasi chart, past life has given the person success in 9th Bhava and 6th Bhava matters. The D-60 should be given more consideration than for D-9, the Navamsa since in the Dasa Varga scheme, D-60 commands a higher weightage.

But since the Navamsa is a chart for fortune, happiness and luck, if the Lagna Lord is in a commanding position in the Navamsa (meaning none or very few of the planets are placed in a Dusthana position relative to it), it can still tide the person over any rainy days, even if the positions of the planets with respect to the Lagna Lord in the D-60 is bad (6th, 8th or 12th to the Lagna Lord).

Another overall chart which you may want to look at is the D-45 and areas where you want to expand towards (this again has something to do with your Lagna Lord) would be the D-40.

hi

Next principle ......

The Moon in D24 shows the kind of studies you are inclined to.

In Dharma houses studies on big issues like law, banking, entrepreneurial studies, kingship matters like policy administration, managing assets like corporate takeover, ethics etc.

In Artha houses studies on finance, estate management, public administration, accountancy, hygiene science etc.

In Kama (Air) houses studies on business, general management, specialised subjects, trading, social sciences etc

In Moksha houses, studies on metaphysics, spirituality, Eastern philosophy, astrology, occult matters etc.

My Moon is exalted in Taurus in the 8th Bhava in D24.

Warmest Regards
Hock Leong.

Dear MR. khoo,
my moon is also exalted in taurus in the 8th bhava in D-24, aspected by jupiter and mars from scorpio....what does that mean ???
charun.

[Khoo Hock Leong]

Oops, my Sun is not in Kubera non-planetary lord division if slice by 2.5 degrees using D12 slice size.

It should be in Hala standing for wine or poison.

Those in authority can be an elixir to me or can be a bane to me. That is the interpretation.

Sorry for the hiccup.

[Khoo Hock Leong]

Hi Charun

Knowing Mars, which is not a lover of knowledge, that would make it somewhat lower in quality in terms of astrological knowledge. But otherwise, the interpretation is the same as mine.

Hi

Next principle .....

Meaning &. Usage: Shashtamsha or Kaulaka as it is
called, is one sixth part of a sign, each covering an
arc of 5 degrees each of the zodiacal belt, hence called
D-6 as well. Maharishi Jaimini has introduced this chart
in chapter 3 of Quarter 3 of his great work "Updesa
Sutras". Basically this chart is an extension of 6th house
of Rasi chart.

6th and 11th houses of D-6 should be speCifically
examined for adversities and ill health. 6th house
represents punishment that one gets at the
hands of enemies and 11th refers to death on
account of evils, disease or enemies.

The native, his relatives and enemies are
represented from 1st to 6th house, the growth
of these by 9th house and their death from 2nd
house (all counting is done from respective
stgnificator house.

Relatives ...................... Significator House ........................ House causing death / adversity

Native (self) ....................1st.............. ............................2nd /11th
Both parents ................... 2nd...........................................3rd / 12th
Co-borns cousins ...............3rd ...........................................4th / 1st
Spouse ...........................4th...........................................5th / 2nd
Children .........................5th...........................................6th / 3rd
Enemy ...........................6th...........................................7th / 4th

Evil or death inflicting houses from Significator house
are afflicted 2nd and 8th houses, trines to 7th house and/
or 1st, 8th and 9!h houses.

So for example, from the above we know that the 9th to the significator house promotes the significator house, but if the 9th to the significator house is afflicted, evil or death inflicting to the significator house is indicated.

Study the above carefully to see the strength of the various people in your life including your enemies eg. can you defeat them and will they be eventually vanquished?

Hi

There is a related article in Sanjay Prahabkaran's blog on the Saptamsa chart. It talks something about the 7 non-planetary lords of the Saptamsa described above.

What I want to highlight in this article is towards the end, where the author maps these seven non-planetary lord divisions into the various Nakshatras 14 pairs. He proceeed to label them as the creative elements within each of us.

So for example if you have a planet in Danishta, Jupiter is the creative element. So Danishta people tends to be self-sacrificing (no joke about that!, witness Princess Diana's concern for the underprivileged).

The crosses in the table represent I suppose to what degree the creative element is inimical or beneficial to us. In this dimension, Danishta does not do too badly either, with the cross more slanted towards the left hand margin.
