*Note: Others modifications must also be factored into these Permanent

Relationships for each individual Chart. For example, Planets in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th,10th, 11th, & 12th from the Sign in which a Planet is located in a Chart, counting

that sign as the first, are regarded as its Temporary Friends. Planets in the same

sign or in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th from it are regarded as its Temporary

Enemies. So the Relationships must be evaluated according to both their Permanent

and Composite structures.

(General Planetary Significators)

Yogakaraka Planets for Systems' Approach

by VK Choudhry

The Positive Traits of the Evil Houses are as under:

6th House: Sound financial position, victory over enemies, and no apprehension of


9/19

losses through theft and fire.

8th House: Long life, financial gains to the father, gains through inheritance, draw

of lots and unearned wealth, continuity of marital tie, etc..

12 House: Good sleep, staying together with the spouse, gains from foreign lands, noapprehension of imprisonment and hospitalizations, comforts and luxurious life.

The positive traits of evil houses, which contain mooltrikona signs, fructify when

their lords are strong, well placed, and un-afflicted.

Average Planetary Speeds:

If the planet's increment is less than the average motion of the planet, it is moving

slowly, if the increment is larger than the average motion of the planet, it is moving

fast. Planets appear to slow down, so to speak, when they are about to stationretrograde, and are also slow when they about to station direct.

Sun: Approximate speed is 59' 08" (average)

Moon: Normal approximate speed is 10' 36" to 13'

Mars: Normal approximate speed is 30' to 45' per day (31' 27" average)

Mercury: Normal approximate speed is 59' 08"

Venus: Normal approximate speed is 59' 08"

Jupiter: Normal approximate speed is 5' per day (4' 59" is average)

Saturn: Normal approximate speed is 2' per day (2' 01" is average)

Rahu and Ketu: Normal approximate speed is 03' per day

Divisional Charts

Shodash Varga Charts in Vedic Astrology

Life is complex and multi-dimensional. Vedic Astrology intends to address the

complexities and reveal the various dimension of human life in astrological way.

Various Lagnas, Varga Charts or divisional charts, Dasha systems etc are nothing

but a way to know the complexed human life and understand the manifested and

hidden dimensions of life. But some insincere astrologers take the provision of

various Ascendants, Divisional charts, Dasha Systems in Vedic Astrology very

casually and due to their ignorance and incapability to understand the very purpose


10/19

of these provisions, they jump to say in temptation that Vedic Hindu Astrology is

confusing and is mess of theories & Principles. While reality is different. If we

understand the purpose of inclusion of these, we will feel highly indebted to its

originators.

Merely Rashi Chart cannot reveal all aspects of life. For example, if there is need

of considering educational prospect of a native, all related factors required to bring

under scanner . Education is not an independent thing that has to come to the

native singularly. In the course of his education, several factors would be in force

to influence his education. For this, there would be need to understand students

inclination, approach, inquisitiveness, intelligence, grasping level, memory etc.

Besides, there would be need to understand obstacles, competition, companion on

the path and environment at home, school/college, society also. Thereafter, his

performance and success in education can be assessed. Hence, to take account

of all such factors there should be different-different tools Lagna Chart alone will

not give entire picture. Various Lagnas, Charts, Dasha Systems etc are few tools

which are used to consider all factors and arrive at a definite conclusion.

Maharshi Parashar has advocated to use Varga Chart in addition to other tools to

understand the particular aspect of life. For example if there is need of knowing all

about of life partner from a horoscope of other partner, what is way of knowing it,because all about of life partner covers various aspects and will birth (D-1) chart

only be capable to indicate satisfactorily? No doubt Planets (as per Bhava Karaka,

Sthir Karaka and Char karaka), Signs (as per elements, Quality and Polarity) and

Houses (as per Kendra, Trikon, Trik, Upachaya, Panaphara and Apoklim) of Natal

chart reveal the same in broad way but it finds expression if the matter is studied

alongwith respective lagna, planet, divisional chart etc. In case of life partner, 7th

house in D-1 shows approach towards relationship, 7th house in D-9 indicates

traits and character of partner & 7th from Venus distance from the location of

partner, Upapada gives hints of type of marriage, Upapada Lord stands for status

of wife, 7th from Upapada may reveal impediments in marriage, Al from UL

meeting place of partners, 2nd and 8th from UL determins the longevity of

marriage, Sexual desire is expressed by Saptamarudha, Venus gives native an

opportunity to experience the relationship. Thus, we see that the concept of

Divisional Charts & others in Parashari & Jaimini System are how much essential.

Parashara had mentioned about 16 Vargas. Each Varga has 12 houses.

Therefore, Shodash Varga Chart will give us 192 (16 x 12) bhavas representing

variety of aspects of human life. Varga Charts indicate Promise, Potential

Resource, and materialization of an event. Resource is indicated by a particular

bhava -bhavesha, occupant and other associated planets with the bhava.

Potentiality is determined by their strength, avasthas etc. In other word, if any

aspect of life is required to be studied then we will have to consider on a) Bhavas

obtained by concerned D-Chart of Shodashvarga b) Bhava lords Sign Lords

occupying a particular Bhava. c) Karaka of concerned Varga and Bhava. And

result of such assessed promise will be experienced by the native at the time of

operation Dasha period of concerned planet(s). Result will be delivered as per the

resource available (indicated by functional nature of planet, Yoga formed due toaccidental placement and other influence, planetary strength in Shadabala,

Vimshopaka Bala and Ashtakvarga Bala) in the horoscope.

Shodas Vargas have been classified in the following four groups:

a) Shadvarga: Rashi Chart (D-1), Hora Chart (D-2), Dreshkona Chart (D-3),

Navamsha Chart (D-9), Dwadashamsha Chart (D-12) and Trishamsha Chart (D-

30). Shadvarga is important because 15 points out of 20 points of Vimsopaka Bala

fall in this classification. f planet is in 2,3,4,5 or 6 good vargas (exaltation,


11/19

moolatrikona, own, friendly signs, or a sign that is owned by a planet ruling an

angle (1,4,7,10) from the arudha, then it is called kimshuka, vyanjana, chaamara,

chatra, kundala.

b) Saptavarga: Shadvarga and Saptamamsha Chart (D-7). If in good vargas in all

seven, it is called Mukuta.

c) Dashavarga: Saptavarga and Dashamsha Chart (D-10), Shodashamsha

(Khalamsha) Chart (D16) and Shastiamsha (D-60). Planets in good vargas in this

classification are from 2 to 10 vargas: Parijaat, uttam, gopur, simhasan, parvat,

devlok, brahmalok, shakravahan, shridham.

d) Shodhasvarga: Dashavarga and Chaturthamsha Chart, Vimshamsha Chart,

Chaturvimshamsha Chart, Saptavisamsa (Bhamsha) Chart, Khavedamsha Chart

and Akshavedamsha Chart. Planets in 2 to 16 good vargas: (according to BPHS)

Bhedaka, kusuma, naga pushpa, kanduka, kerala, Kalpavriksha, chandanvana,

poornachandra, uchcheshrava, dhanvantari, suryakaanta, vidruma, shakra

simhasana, gauloka and shrivallabha.

Role and Significance of Varga Charts

1. Rashi Chart {30 degree}: D-1 is the basic chart from wherehoroscopic study of destiny begins. This chart indicates physical body andits related activities. The other divisional charts are sub-divisions of thischart.

2. Hora chart {15degree}: D-2 chart deals with wealth, sustenance,money matters. This chart helps in understanding the wealth position andfinancial matters of a native. Male planets in the Sun's Hora are taken asbeneficial while female planets are effective in the Moon's Hora. Ifmaximum planets are in the Sun's Hora it is said that the native earnsmoney as a result of hard work but the quantum of wealth may be verygood. If Moons Hora predominates, the earning will be relatively easy.

However, this is subject to the Dhan yoga formed in the horoscope.

3. Dreshkanna {10degree}: D-3 chart indicates all about Co-born( brother, sister). This chart is important for longevity analysis. Planetsfalling in 22nd Dreshkona, Sarpa Dreshkona and Phasha Dreshkona arenot considered good for the native and his health.

power. Progeny related matters are seen from this chart.

6. Navamsa or Dharmamsa {3degree20}: D-9 chart is most importantin predictive Astrology. It complementary chart to the birth chart whereinplanetary strength is assessed. An exalted planet in the birth chart (if itdebilitates in the Navamsha) may not give very good results or its effectscan get diluted. However, a planet getting empowered in D-9 by gettingvargottama or by getting exalted will give good results. This chart indicates


12/19

all about marriage, spouse, partners and skills of the native. In VedicPredictive Astrology, D-9 Chart is said essential to consult for accurateprediction. The lord of 64th Navamsha from the Moon becomes highlyimportant for the calculation of Longevity and the Maraka dasa.

7. Dasamsa or Swargamsa {3 degree}: D-10 chart indicates MahatPhalam i.e. the result which indicates the standing and status of the nativein society on account of the interaction of fate and action. Normally thischart is consulted for getting clear idea about Career, Profession,Occupation, Work etc. The placement and avashtha of the tenth lord of thebirth chart is important here. Apart from that the rashi rising in the 10thhouse of this divisional chart and the influence on the 10th house has alsoto be considered, to judge the profession and any professional growth orfall of the native.

8. Dwadasamsa or Suryamsa {2degree30}: D-12 chart shows aboutParents, their well-being, health, longevity. In this chart Sun represents

father and Moon represents mother. Influence on the 4th, 9th and 10thalso should be taken into account. The Lord of the 88th Dwadashamsha isimportant in longevity analysis. This chart also is said to reveal whether aperson inherits a disease from his parents.

9. Shodasamsa or Kalamsa {1degree5230}: D-16 chart indicatesabout Vehicles, Conveyance, Luxuries, Happiness, Accident fromVehiclele, Inner strength of the character. In this chart, Venus, 4H and 4Lare to been. Malefic influence on these factors shows worry from Vehiclesetc.

13. Trimsamsa {1degree}: D-30 chart is consulted to ascertain thedifficulties, evils and miseries coming through mishappenings anddiseases for a particular native. This chart indicates inclination of naturaltraits based on Trigunas Swatic, Rajas and Tamas.

14. Chatvarimsamsa or Khavedamsa or Swavedamsa {45}: D-40 chartgenerally indicates the auspicious and inauspicious effects of horoscope.Matrilineal legacy is also seen from this chart.

Divisional Chart Assessment of Strength/Weakness

Natural Benefics in Divisional Charts: Jupiter, Venus, Mercury Moon ONLY when in

its own sign or exalted in divisional chart.

Natural Malefics in Divisional Charts: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

To help differentiate between Rasi and Divisional Chart strengths and weaknesses,

please consider the following terms:

Well Conditioned and Poorly Conditioned used for Rasi description of

strength and weakness.

Strong and Weak used for Divisional description of strength and weakness.

REMEMBER CONFLUENCE COUNTS (THE HAPPY MEDIUM FOR ASSESSING AND

MEETING ALL CONSIDERATIONS).

Use common sense: IF A PLANET HAS DIG BALA, BUT IT IS ASPECTED BY ITS ENEMY

AND EVERY NATURAL MALEFIC IN THE CHART HOW GOOD CAN IT REALLY BE?

Additional Considerations:

There are several ways in which a planet in the Rasi will influence all or some of the

Divisional Charts:

1. When Retrograde in Rasi (Strength)

2. Combust (Weakens)

3. Planetary War (if defeated, it weakens)

weakness can occur.
