Divisional Charts

From Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

वर्गान षोडश संख्याकान ब्रह्मा प्रोक्तं पितामहःI तानहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि मैत्रेय श्रूयतामितिII क्षेत्रं होरां द्रेस्काणश्चतुथांश सप्तमांशकःI नवांशो दश्मांशश्च सूर्यांश षोडशांशकःII विंशाशो वेदवाह्वंशो भांशास्त्रींशांशकस्तथाI खवेदांशोअक्षवेदांशः षप्ठ्यंशश्च परमII

The divisions are sixteen in number as told by Brahma who is creator [eldest]; I am telling you that, O, Maitreya! listen to it.

Kshetra [Place/Rashi], Hora [D2], Dreshkan [D3], Chaturthansha [D4], Saptmansh [D7], Navansh [D9], Dashmansh [D10], Suryansh [D12 – because there are twelve different forms of Sun; this is the method by which numbers were represented in ancient Sanskrit except using coding methods such as KaTaPaYaDi], Sodashansh [D16], Vimshansa [D20], Vedvahvansh [D24], Bhansh [D27], Trimsamsa [D30], Khavedamsa [D40], Akshkhavedansha [D45] and Shastiamsa [D60] which is supreme.

शुभषष्ठयंशसंयुक्ता ग्रहाः शुभफलप्रदाःI क्रूरषष्ठयंशसंयुक्ता नाशयन्ति खाचारिणःII

Planets affined with benefic Shastiamsa gives good results, planets affined with cruel Shastiamsa destroys planets. It is a complex Sutra, people have translated it using their own mind, but the translation given here is literal over which I will apply my limited intellect. Try to understand it, It is before giving calculations of Shastiamsa chart which means it is purely related to deities of Shastiamsa [which in a broader sense means that in every divisional chart effect of planets as Good or Bad, Auspicious or Inauspicious depends upon deities of that divisional chart] it can be taken to mean that divisional chart deities decide nature of planets. Now he says planet in auspicious D60 gives auspicious results but planets in bad D60 suffers destruction. This doesn’t mean that planet in malefic Divisive bad results, no. It means that planet in bad D60 is unable to give results promised otherwise [From Rashi chart, or other divisional charts or of D60 itself]. This is further elaborated in a special Sutra, which will be presented shortly.

राशीन विहाय खेटस्य द्विघ्नमंशाद्यमर्कहृतI शेषं सैकं च तद्राशिनाथ षष्ठयंशपाः स्मृताःII

Leave Rashi of a planet, then double the [remainder], count the number thus obtained from lord of that Rashi.

Explanation: Here it says lord of the Rashi, but traditionally it is taken from the Rashi; Counting from lord of Rashi will give us another D60 which is not traditionally used, Thus, I am leaving that interpretation [which is truth] and using what is traditionally been given in all texts.

In the traditional sense, if a planet is in 10.23 degree Capricorn it is written like 09.10.23 which means he has crossed 9 Rashi’s from the beginning and is in 10th Rashi at 10 degrees and 23 minutes. Which further means that a Planet has crossed 9 Rashis and in 10th Rashi have crossed 10 degrees and is at 11th degree 24 minutes because he has crossed 23 minutes more than 10 degrees.

Hence it means for this planet Shastiamsa will be 10.23×2=20.42 which means it will be in Virgo Shastiamsa. 12 Shastiamsa in one round of zodiac and then the remainder is 8th which is Leo from Capricorn which is completed and the planet is in 9th from Capricorn which is Virgo.

वर्गभेदानहं वक्ष्ये मैत्रेय तवं विधारयI षडवर्गाः सप्त्वर्गाश्च दिग्वगाँ नृपवर्गगाःII

Now I am telling you the difference between divisions, think on this. Six divisions, Seven divisions, Ten divisions and King divisions [King means highest/biggest – which means all sixteen Varga’s]

Now let me give a secret, I marked this while reading Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra for the first time. That time I had no idea about writing an article on this and due to this I never marked references, However, I will give one example for this deduction of mine.

Shadvarga [D1, D2, D3, D9, D12, D30] is to be used for Dasha [These charts can be used independently to read effects of every Bhava’s. I remember reading an article by the editor of a magazine who wrote that an astrologer in Varanasi told him that D12 can be read like an Independent chart; many astrologers of yore like C.S.Patel and S. Krishna Iyengar always told that D9 can be read like an independent chart, this can be done will all charts coming under this division]. I will write an article on Sudarshan Chakra Dasha and will demonstrate this secret which is just amazing. Saptavarga [D1, D2, D3, D7, D9, D12, D30] is to be used for judging effects of planets in a Bhava {Many times it is said that if most of the Vargas in a house is of this planet then this effect rises, at such times this division is to be used; For example, it is said when Varga’s [mind plural – Varga’s] of Jupiter falls in Lagna then one is not born of adultery. How many divisions we are to see in this divisions, we need to see seven divisions, these seven divisions} we always need factors in odd numbers to come at a conclusion, because factors in even numbers will lead to a tie. This is the basic idea of including three factors in astrology such as [Ascendant-Moon and Sun, House-House lord and Significator], looking clearly you will notice that between Shadvarga, Saptavarga, Dashvarga and Shodashavarga only Saptavarga [7 Divisions clubbed together to make a group] can be used to take a decision, hence it is primarily used in judging effects of divisions falling in a Bhava. [When I wrote this behind the edition of BPHS which I use for my personal reference with a pencil I wrote it only after reading a strong Shloka in its favour, now after years I am unable to remember which chapter had that Shloka]. Dashvarga [D1, D2, D3, D7, D9, D10, D12, D16, D30, D60] is to used for judging the effect of planets in Rashi’s/dignity [See an example; सपारिजातध्युचरः सुखानि नीरोगतामुत्तमवर्गयातः When a planet is in Parijaat amsa it gives happiness and when a planet is in Uttama amsa it gives freedom from diseases [no diseases in it’s Dasha], this terminology of Parijaat and Uttama is only used in Dashavarga that’s why this conclusion by me. Shodashvarga [D1, D2, D3, D4, D7, D9, D10, D12, D16, D20, D24, D27, D30, D40, D45, D60] to be used for normal reading, by normal reading I mean for application of all principles given in texts of Jyotish. By normal reading, I also mean ‘to see concerned divisional chart for a concerned matter – such as D9 for Marriage and D10 for Rajyoga. But this reading has its limitations [which make it different from Shadvarga] This distinction will be clear in a while, and when you will read between lines [even in my writings, then you will find that why in all books on astrology only results for Shadvargas are given and not for Dashavarga, Saptavarga or Shodashvarga].

अथ षोडश वर्गेषु चिन्ता लग्नं वदाम्यहमI लग्नं देहस्य विज्ञानं होरायां संपदादिकंII द्रेक्काने भ्रातृजं सौख्यं तुर्यांशे भाग्यचिन्तनम्I पुत्रपौत्रादिकानां वै चिन्तनं सप्तमांशकेII नवमांशे कलत्राणां दशमांशे महत्फलंI द्वादशांशे तथा पित्रोश्चिन्तनं षोडशांशकेII सुखासुखस्य विज्ञानं वाहनानां ताथैव चI उपासनाया विज्ञानं साध्यं विंशतिभागकेII विध्याया वेदवाह्वंशे भांशे चैव बलाबलंI त्रिंशांशे रिष्टफलं खवेदांशे शुभाशुभमII अक्षवेदांशभागे च षष्ठयंशेअखिलमीक्षयेतI

Now, I am telling you which matters are known by the thought of which lagna of sixteen divisions. Lagna [D1] is the science of Body, Hora [D2] is for resources, Drekkana [D3] is to be seen for the growth of siblings, Turyamsha [D4] for thinking on fortune, Navansh [D9] for thinking about wife, Dashamsa [D10] for big fruits [which means Raajyoga], Dwadashansa [D12] for thinking about parents [appropriate word will be lineage], Shodashansa [D16] for Happiness etc and Vehicles, Worship and practice [of spiritual matters] is to be seen from Vimshatibhaga [D20], Knowledge from Vedvahvansh [D24], Bhansha [D27] for strength etc, Trimsamsha [D30] for scourge, Khavedamsa [D40] for beneficence etc, Akshkhavedamsa [D45] and Shastiamsa [D60] is to be seen for every matter.

Secret: By the use of the word लग्नं Parashara have made it very clear that in divisional chart analysis Lagna is to be used [which is Lagna of divisional chart derived mathematically], with this Parashara sanctions lordship and planetary malefic and auspicious nature in Divisional charts too. However with the use of the Shloka लग्नं देहस्य विज्ञानं Parashara gives another big hint, because lordship is taken separately for all divisional charts with the help of this Shloka we come to a conclusion [based on Shubham Alock’s own understanding] that body of any relative is to be taken from Lagna chart/Rashi only. What do I mean by this is when we see Navansha what we need to remember is 7th lord of Navansha is wife in her duties as a wife and 7th lord of Rashi taken into Navansha is wife’s body [her diseases, her physical outlook etc].

यत्र कुत्रापि संप्राप्तः क्रूरषष्ठयंशकाधिपःII तत्र नाशो न संदेहो प्राचीनानां वचो यथाI यत्र कुत्रापि संप्राप्तः कलांशाधिपतिः शुभःII तत्र वृद्दिश्च पुस्टिश्च प्र��चीनानां वचो यथाI इति षोडशवर्गाणां भेदास्ते प्रतिपादिताःII

Wherever is situated a planet who is under bad Shastiansha lord, that house results suffer loss [Mind loss and not annihiliation], there is no doubt in this as it is told by ancient [elder peoples in astrology]. Wherever a planet is situated who’s Kalamsha [D16] lord is auspicious that house gets growth and endorsement, this is told by ancients. Thus ends distinction in sixteen divisions.

Secret: Here sage is very clear in mentioning that planets in bad Shastiamsa give loss and planets in good Shastiamsa gives gains, but he adds another divisional chart which is always ignored by many astrologers which is Shodasamsa [D16], he says planet in under lordship of auspicious D16 deities gives growth and under malefic deities in D16 makes the result of house where planet is situated to be limited.

In my humble opinion this is to be used with respect to the previous Secret, Just see Saturn’s Shastiamsa deity and Kalamsa [D16] deity. In D60 Saturn is in ati-sheetala amsa, it means very cold, we know Saturn is of the air element, we love cool breeze, hence he is auspicious. In D16 he is under the lordship of Shiva, this can be a bad deity but is not because Saturn is in a male sign in D16 [Gemini].

In D16 there are four deities which are Aja [Prajapati] Vishnu, Hara [Shiva] and Surya. Because Shiva and Surya are cruel in nature [as per mythology they are auspicious in male signs and because Prajapati/Brahma and Vishnu are docile as per mythology they are auspicious in female signs in D16. [All male signs are cruel and female signs are docile is a very basic principle of Vedic Jyotish which is interpreted by me here]. These four deities repeat 4 times in a Rashi to make sixteen amsha which are known as Sodasamsa. The order of deities is reversed in female signs.

Also, mind that this Saturn in D16 is in Gemini sign which is Kendra Rashi from Graha Arudha of his Saturn [calculated in Rashi chakra/D1], this gave Saturn the qualities of not giving loss [In D60 Saturn is just average] and capable of giving extreme growth [well dignified in D16 due to being in Kendra sign from Graha Arudha].

Now before revealing a special Dasha technique and an example let me give some special rules from the chapter dealing with effects of divisional charts from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, readers may note that many precious principles are scattered in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra for divisional chart interpretation, compiling them all and explaining them will make a book, thus, I am limiting this article only with few more dictums and in next article of the series few more dictums will be presented.

अथान्यदपि वक्ष्येअहं मैत्रेयI त्वं विधारयI खेटाः पूर्णफलं दद्युः सूर्यात्सप्तमके स्थिताःII फलाभावं विजानीयात्समे सूर्यनभश्चरेI मध्येअनुपातत्सवॅत्र ह्युदयास्तविंशोपकाःII

Now, I am telling you other methods [other than Varga-Vimshopaka] O, Maitreya. Think about it. Planets give their complete results when placed in 7th from Sun, with Sun they cease to give their effects. In between [Conjunction from Sun to 7th from it] planets give effects according to ratio.

Secret: This is an eye-opening Shloka, people on the authority of this Shloka quotes that planets with Sun [Combust] finds themselves unable to give their effects [promised as per the chart], but this principle lacks empirical evidence. Here we come to know that this Shloka is actually mentioned in the chapter relating to effects of Divisional charts and reading Shloka’s adjunct to this Shloka we can also conclude that it is not an interpolation. Thus we need to keep this in mind that this Shloka is a modification to Vimshopaka Bala and have nothing to with those planets who are combust. [Combustion is just a criterion for weakness, as told in a Shloka reproduced above].

This Shloka means that even if planets get complete Vimshopaka bala if he is with Sun he ceases to give effects. Try to understand it, Vishopaka Bala is just a mathematical assessment of planetary strength in divisional charts which is based on their occupation of a different kind of Rashi’s in divisional charts [Exaltation, Mool-Trikona, Debilitation etc]. It is just a numerical assessment, which in my opinion can be and must be ignored, Jyotish is not so mathematical if it was then software must have replaced humans till now. Vimshopaka is just a quick way to see the dignity of planets in all divisional charts [This is its limitations which we need to understand before building our techniques or predictions on it], In my humble opinion [which will be illustrated in next article of the series], Vimshopaka Bala is to be considered separately for each and every divisional chart, This rules gives an exception which can be easily translated as if a planet be in his exaltaation [highest Vimshopaka Bala] but be with Sun, then he has to be treated like he is in neutral Rashi and not in exaltaation, empirically I can say that this rule works only for planets as house lords and not in their Dasha/Antardasha.

तनुधनं च सहजो बन्धुपुत्रालयस्तथाI युवति रन्ध्रधर्माख्यं कर्मलाभव्ययाः क्रमात्II संक्षेपेणौतदुदितमन्यदबुध्यानुसारतःI किञ्चिद्विशेषं वक्ष्यामि यथा ब्रह्ममुखाच्छु्तमII

Body, Wealth, Siblings, Kinsmen, Son, Dissolution, Virgin, Apertura, Religion, Work, Income and Expenditure in order are the name of twelve Bhava’s, that is told by me as I have heard from Brahma in a nutshell, understand more to it by your intellect. Now, I am telling you something special.

Secret: By this Shloka in the chapter dealing with divisional charts, Parahara wants to tell us that divisional charts are an expansion of a Bhava. Earlier he told us about Lagna in Divisional charts, Lagna is not a Rashi it is a Bhava [sign rising at the eastern horizon, this is Bhava because it is calculated based on one’s birthplace whereas planets are calculated as per centre of the earth]. So basically divisional charts are an expansion of a Bhava and Not of Rashi, this gives us an answer and a further hint. The answer is to a very fundamental question that why divisional charts are not in synchronization with Bhava chart, what do I mean this is something complex which only scholars can understand. Suppose I am born in 13 Degree 48 Minutes of Virgo, then Navansha in my Lagna is Taurus, now second house should precisely be 13 Degree 48 minutes of Libra [Next sign to Virgo] than finding Navansha for this we find it falls under Aquarius navansha, but in 2nd house of my Navansha chart is Gemini. This may seem like a corruption but here with this statement, Parashara makes it clear that divisional charts are an expansion of Bhava’s and not of Rashi’s hence this mathematical conclusion is illogical.

But who limits your thinking, this Shloka or this deduction of mine can also be a misinterpretation. The above statement made by me is when I am translating this Shloka, but myself as a research-minded astrologer thinks another way. As per me, divisional charts are calculated in three different ways.

When divisional charts are calculated from the sign itself like in Dwadasamsa [D12] and Shastiamsa [D60].

When counting starts from Aries in Aries and continues irrespective of any other criteria into consideration like in Saptamsa [D7], Navansha [D9], Sodasamsa [D16] and Vimsamsa [D20]

When counting starts from unknown methods such as in Vedvahvansha [D24], Nakshatramsa [D27] etc

Incorrect divisional charts such as Hora [D2], Drekkana [D3], Trimsamsa [D30], Dasamsa [D10] – Now mentioning them as incorrect can also be taken as limitation/corruption of my own intellect.

In those divisional charts described under point [1], Bhava coincides with Rashi which ends our confusion [raised in the interpretation of this Shloka] but other types don’t satisfy my hunger. I am still working on it and I have some very potent idea’s on this too which will be taught in detail in the course I am going to teach on Divisional Charts.

नवमे च पितुज्ञानं सूर्याच्च नवमेअथवाI यत्किञ्चिदशमे लाभे तत्सुर्यादशमे शिवेII तुर्ये तनौ धने लाभे भाग्ये यच्चिन्तनं च तत्I चन्द्रातुर्ये तनौ लाभे भाग्ये तच्चिन्तयेदध्रुवंII लग्नाददुस्चिक्यभवने तत्कुजादिक्रमे स्थितातI विचार्य षस्ठभावस्य बुधात्षष्ठे विचिन्तयेतII पञ्चमस्य गुरौः पुत्रे जयायाः सप्तमे भृगौःI अस्टमस्य व्ययस्यापि मन्दान्मृत्यौ व्यये तथाII

The ninth house is to see for knowledge of father so also ninth from Sun, also 10th and 11th house from 10th and 11th house from Sun, whatever is judged in 4th, 2nd, 11th and 9th house from Lagna is also to be seen in 4th, 2nd, 11th and 9th house from Moon, whatever is judged in 3rd from Lagna is also to be seen in 3rd from Mars, whatever is judged in 6th from Lagna is also to be judged in 6th from Mercury, 5th from Jupiter is to be seen for childerns, 7th from Venus for wife, and 8th and 12th from Saturn is to be seen for those matters which are seen in 8th and 12th from Lagna.

Secret: This is Bhava from Karaka, Parashara here instructs that this is to be judged in divisional charts [opposite to what people do, judge them in Rashi chart]. Karaka means what ‘doer’. to do what? do means start of something, to earn money do some work, to stop earning stop doing the work. So, doing here is the producer of results. Karaka can be seen as effects on Karaka which indicates mentality of person and concerned house from Karaka which indicates longevity [or time of marriage/childbirth in case of Venus/Jupiter], of the concerned person.

Take an example [June 18, 1973; 08:30; Ludhiana], 18 Years of marriage – 12 IVF failed then gave birth to triplets in 2016. See her D7, Jupiter is retrograde in 8th house with Venus in Scorpio who is in an exchange with Mars, 5th from Jupiter is Rahu in Pisces. Rahu being a demon is uncomfortable in Rashi of Jupiter, more so it is Pisces which is bad also because of its watery nature and being the 12th sign of the zodiac which indicates emancipation. Jupiter lord of the Rashi [in 5th from Jupiter] is in 8th house retrograde [natural benefic retrograde in 6-8-12 and natural malefic retrograde in 1-4-5-7-9-10 is weak], also this Jupiter is with Maandi, making him further weak. This was the main reason behind the results, nature of Maandi matches with nature of Scorpio which makes it more malefic and the divine light of Jupiter suffers.

यदभावाधत्फलं चिन्त्यं तदीशात्तत्फलं विदुःI ज्ञेयं तस्य फलं तद्दिः तत्तच्चिन्त्यं शुभाशुभमII

Whatever is told as the effect of Bhava’s is to be told from the Bhava and also lord of that Bhava

Secret: This is a very important Shloka, which hints that all the Dhana Yogas are told is to be seen in Hora, Whatever Rajayoga is told is to be seen in Dashamsa, Whatever Aristha yoga is told is to be seen in Trimsamsa chart etc. Also the same is to be judged from the lord of the Bhava [Here lordship taken as per Rashi chart, because lordship as per the divisional chart is already self-understood – however the distinction between the lord of 7th house of Rashi and 7th lord of Navansha is clearly described by me in a previous paragraph].

A very fine principle emerges from a reading of all the previous Shloka’s together, which tells us that Karaka is to be seen for longevity/coming of someone, Bhava tells us the condition of the matter and Bhavesha tells us about the condition of the living matter. For example, 7th from Venus indicates marriage will be early or delayed, then 7th house will indicate how is marital life and 7th lord will indicate how his wife, if malefic influences are on 7th house then it means that marriage circumstances are bad due to the native, lagna [self] makes the 7th Bhava, whereas malefic influences on 7th lord indicates there is problem in wife. Like this, you need to read between lines, slowly to understand the real meaning of Shloka and real intention of the Sage.
