The Role Of Navamsha Chart In Predictive Astrology Part II

Continuation of the previous Blog. . . . .

Navansh chart gives a great deal of information about a planet and its tendency to act.

 In the chart given above, let us take a look at the professional prospects of the individual. The tenth house is occupied by Aries and its lord Mars is placed in the eleventh house along with eleventh lord Venus and second lord Sun. Mars is a Yoga Karak for cancer Ascendant. This constitutes a powerful yoga for professional and financial success. The conjunction of second, eleventh and tenth lords in the eleventh house indicates promise for great wealth.

Let us now take a look at these planets in the Navansh chart also. Here tenth lord Mars is placed in exaltation in the fourth house. The exaltation confirms that Mars will give strongly beneficial results. Mars is placed with fourth and eleventh lord Venus thus suggesting that real estate will be a contributing factor.

Venus is placed in the Navansh chart in debilitation in the twelfth house along with Rahu. This suggests that the financial gains indicated in the birth chart are emasculated, and will leak away due to various reasons.

Sun who is the lord of the second house of wealth is placed in eighth in an enemy house. Note also that sun happens to own the 11th house in the Navansh chart.

Lagna Lord Moon who is placed in the ninth house in an enemy sign is placed in the Navansh chart in debilitation. This shows a changeable nature and lack of application in the person.

What appeared as a brilliant chart loses luster due to the adverse placement of planets in Navansh chart. Fortunately Mars, Venus and Sun are still placed 5-9 to each other and this works in favor of the individual.

The results shown by the birth chart will still materialize but with a reduced intensity.

To be continued. . . . . .

The Role of Navamsha Chart In Predictive Astrology

The concept of divisional charts is unique to Hindu or Vedic astrology. It uses different divisional charts to look at different facets of human existence. For example we use Hora chart to judge potential wealth or poverty and Saptamansha chart to examine affairs related to children. Navansha chart is used to examine the planetary placement in more detail. It is also used to evaluate the spouse in a male female relationship.

What is a divisional chart?

A planet does not give identical results in the beginning, the end or intermediate positions in a sign. A planet at 1° and at 29° of a sign will behave differently. To find out this difference a divisional chart may divide a sign into any number of parts and pin point its placement in a single part. The number of divisions done to a sign give a name to the chart. If we divide a sign into four parts the resultant chart is called Chatur-ansha Chart. {Chatur= four and Ansha= part, hence Chauransha}. Similarly a chart with seven divisions to each sign is called Saptamansha chart. Saptam=seven, Ansha=part. A Navamsha chart will have nine divisions and so on… South Indian pronunciation of Ansh is Amsa.

Maharishi Parashar has laid down the use of different charts for different purposes. For ascertaining the general trend of destiny we use Chauransha, for children related questions Saptamansha is used. For questions related to spouse, Navansha chart gives great results.

Why and how did Maharishi Parashar lay down the number of divisions for each purpose is not known. It is certain to be divinely guided.

Navamsha Chart

In a Navansha chart, starting from Aries each sign is divided into nine parts, and each part is given the name of a sign. Since a sign spans 30°, each part will measure an arch of three degrees and twenty minutes. (30°/9=3°20’). The first division or Navansha is of Aries, the second of Taurus, the third of Gemini and so on. When we reach Sagittarius, we have run out of divisions and still have Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces left. These will spill over into the nine divisions of next sign Taurus. The first Navansha of Taurus will be Capricorn, the second, Aquarius and the third Pisces.

Aries divided into nine parts of 3°20’									Taurus divided into nine parts of 3°20’
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Ari	Tau	Gem	Can	Leo	Vir	Lib	Sco	Sag	Cap	Aqu	Pis	Ari	Tau	Gem	Can	Leo	Vir

The fourth Navansha will be of Aries again and this will continue for each sign until we reach Last Navansha of Pisces.
