Divisional Charts

Dashamsha (D10): Career, Profession & Public Status — The 10th house tells you what kind of work suits you. The D10 Dashamsha goes further — it's the chart astrologers turn to for how far that career actually rises, and how the world at large comes to see you.

Dwadashamsha (D12): The Chart of Parents & Ancestry — Where the D1 asks about your parents through two separate houses, the D12 Dwadashamsha brings both threads of heredity — father and mother — into a single dedicated chart.

Shodashamsha (D16): Vehicles, Comforts & General Happiness — Also called Kalamsha, the D16 goes past the basics of shelter and looks at something subtler — the vehicles you move through the world in, and the everyday comforts that add up to a genuinely happy life.

Hora (D2): The Divisional Chart of Wealth — The simplest of all sixteen vargas has only two possible signs to fall into — yet that stark either/or is exactly what makes the D2 Hora chart so precise a tool for reading the character of your wealth.

Vimshamsha (D20): Spiritual Practice & Worship — Not every pursuit in a life shows up as wealth or status. The D20 Vimshamsha is the varga classical astrologers reserve for the quieter, inward pursuits — worship, devotion, and the shape of a person's spiritual life.

Chaturvimshamsha (D24): Education, Learning & Knowledge — Also known as Siddhamsha — the chart of accomplishment — the D24 is where Vedic astrology looks past raw intelligence and asks a narrower question: how far will formal learning, study and mastery actually carry this person?

Saptavimshamsha (D27): Strengths, Weaknesses & Resilience — Named for bala — strength — the D27 is one of the more specialised vargas: a chart specifically built to weigh what a person is innately strong in, where they're fragile, and how much they can absorb before breaking.

Drekkana (D3): Siblings, Courage & Co-Borns — Long before decanates entered Western astrology, the Drekkana was already dividing every sign into three ten-degree slices to answer a very specific question: who are your siblings, and what kind of courage did you bring into this life?

Trimshamsha (D30): Misfortunes, Difficulties & Moral Character — Unlike every other varga, the D30 isn't built from equal slices at all — its five unequal divisions, each ruled by a different planet, exist for one classical purpose: naming the shape of a person's difficulties before life does.

Chaturthamsha (D4): Property, Fortune & Fixed Assets — Home, land, vehicles and the quiet sense of being settled all live under the 4th house — and the D4 Chaturthamsha is the dedicated lens Vedic astrology uses to see exactly how solid that ground really is.

Khavedamsha (D40): Fortune Inherited from the Maternal Line — Some of what shapes a life was never chosen — it arrived through the mother's side of the family, generations before birth. The D40 Khavedamsha is the varga classical texts reserve for tracing exactly that inheritance.

Akshavedamsha (D45): General Conduct & the Paternal Line — Where the D40 traces what came through the mother's line, its companion chart — the D45 Akshavedamsha — looks at the paternal side, and at something broader still: the overall conduct that defines a person's character.

Shashtiamsha (D60): Overall Life Results & Past-Life Karma — The finest cut of all sixteen divisional charts, the D60 is where classical Vedic astrology places its heaviest weight — a chart said to reveal the overall result of a life, carried forward from the karma of lives before it.

Saptamsha (D7): Children, Progeny & Creative Legacy — Beyond biological children, the D7 Saptamsha speaks to everything a person creates and sends forward — students, creative works, and legacy — making it one of the most emotionally significant of the sixteen vargas.

Navamsha (D9): The Chart of Marriage & Dharma — If you only ever learn one divisional chart beyond the birth chart itself, it should be this one. The Navamsha doesn't just show your marriage — it shows how much of what your D1 promises was actually earned.

Divisional Charts (Vargas): Why One Birth Chart Isn't Enough — Your birth chart (D1) is only the cover page. Vedic astrology re-slices the same planetary degrees into fifteen more charts — each a finer lens on one department of life, from marriage to career to the exact texture of your fortune.
