How to judge the effects from divisional charts

1. D-1 is the main chart.

2. D-1 is also one of the divisional Bhava chart. The principle of equal house
division is to be applied.
3. Planetary aspects :
All planets aspect 7th Rashi. Mars aspects 4th and 8th, Jup. 5th and 9th and Saturn 3rd
and 10th, in addition to 7th aspect, from its placement.
4. Rasi Dristi :
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
5.

All rasis aspect three Rasis.

Dual Rasis aspect each other
Fixed Rasis aspect moveable Rasis except adjacent rasi
Moveable Rasis aspect fixed Rasis except adjacent Rasis.
These aspects will be applicable in all divisional charts, irrespective of their
method construction.
6. All yogas will be formal and considered in divisional charts also.
7. Functional Maleficience or Beneficance is accessed in D-1 chart only. Other
divisional charts make their more or less malefic or benefic influence thereby
keeping the basic functional nature of the planet intact.
8. Thus, master the rules and principles as laid down by Parasara, Jaimini, Varaha
Mihira, Satyachariya and other classic writers. The effects of the yogas will be
experienced in the Dasa periods of planets and rasis.
The following basic principles should be noted for handly D-charts.
1. The most important factors for consideration in D-charts are :
(a) Placement of planets in Kendra and Trikona houses - Then in 2nd and 11th houses
(b) These placements are strengthened if the planets are in Vargottama, Exaltation,
Mooltrikona, own house, friends house, or in the sign of natural benefics.
(c) The planets in 3,6,8,12 houses are of no avail even if good by sign.
(d) Malefics in 3rd and 6th will strengthen the chart. But there are some exceptions:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)

Mars in 6th in all D- Charts does good, as he aspects the lagna. Other Malefics
give some good in the beginning only.
Mercury only even in 8th house of D-4 charts gives good results.
Generally it is believed that Saturn does not bile in 8th house, thus, Saturn in
D-8 lagna also does not bile

2. Even if a Planet is powerfully placed in D-1 Chart, it does not give good results if
badly placed in D chart for the specific portfolio of D chart and vice versa.
- Any incident, such as marriage, joining service, birth of child - If dasa lord is placed in
bad houses in concerned D-chart, may not end in happiness.
-Accession, victory in election - should be judged from D-11.
Veeha will Neecha or one planet with his enemy - not good.

Planet placed in 8th of D-chart does not harm if aspected by Jupiter.

In the case of house wife- D-9 should be studied.
In D-11 chart planets placed in 4th house give property and vehicles, in 7th marriage, in
10th status, in 5th progeny.
Yoga, planetary conjunction, mutual aspect, exchange in signs has its effects.
Yogakaraka planet of D-1 chart, will give some good effects even if debilitation in other
D- charts provided placed in a good house.
Mars in 6th in all D- Charts does good, as he aspects the lagna. Other planets give some
good in the beginning only.
Karaka principle is also applicable to D-charts of all powerful positions the most
important are
(i)
Vargottama (both rasi and Bhava)
(ii)
Exaltation
(iii)
Mooltrikona
(iv)
own house
(v)
Digbala
(vi)
Placement in kendra, Trikona and 2nd and 11th houses.
(vii) Placement of planets in Vargas of naisargiya benefics.
Even if planets are in exaltation, Mooltrikona and own sign, but placed in , 3,6,8
and 12 houses, are of not much use.
In Rasi chart, the signs which are placed in 4,5,9 and 10 house, the planets in such
signs in Vargas show merit, particularly if kendra lords are placed in Trikona and
Vica versa.
The planets placed in Rashis, which occupy 6,8 and 12 houses in D-1 Rasi chart,
loose lot of their Beneficance even if strongly placed in D-charts.
If any yoga is formed in D-1 rasi chart, and such yoga also manifests in D-Charts,
then these yogas will enhance the yoga results according to the portfolio of
concerned D-chart(p) this creates vargottama effect.
The conjunction of planets in D-charts modifies the effects. Guru, if not in
debilitation improves the results.
In D-charts lords of lagna and karya bhava are very important.
A debilitated planet in D-chart gives bad effects, even placed in good Bhavas/until
debilitation is not cancelled.
If D-lagna is in vargottama it is an indication of very good effect, provided lagna
lord is well placed. If lagna lord goes to 8th house, the D-chart will give only
dreamy effects. The excellent results are felt if lagna lord is strong and placed in
good houses and signs.
3rd and 8th are death like places. In D-9 to wife, in D-10 to profession etc. Death
means severance. A planet in 3rd in D-10 causes retirement from service.
2nd house is ventral and planet placed there in gives similar results.
If more planets aspects D-Lagna, it becomes strong.
Benefic yogas in D-charts gives immence good. Malefic yogas spoil the results.
2nd and 12th place from any house is very important for a Bhava.
Similar to 2 and 12, 3-11, 4-10, 5-9, 6-8 and 1-7 places are also important.

Argala and upchaya places hold key to prediction because Argala places
intervene/influence the effect of an house and upchaya places are responsible for
the upliftment of the bhava in life. However 3 and 6 position should be malefic in
influence. Similarly any planet placed in a Bhava provide argala or becomes
upchaya to some bhavas.
In D-12, association of ketu with Moon or Sun is bad for parents.
Malefics in 12,1,2 or 6,7,8 or 4,8,12 or 5,8,9 are bad for the indication of bhava.
Benefics in these places do good.
