Understanding the D9 (Navamsha) Chart

In Vedic Astrology, the D9 Chart or Navamsha is the most important divisional chart. While the D1 (Birth Chart) shows the physical existence and external circumstances, the D9 reveals the internal strength and the "fruit" of the planets. It is traditionally used to analyze marriage, spiritual progress, and the hidden potential of a person.

How the Calculation Works

Every zodiac sign (30°) is divided into 9 equal parts called "Navamshas." Each part is exactly 3 degrees and 20 minutes (3° 20′). This division creates a total of 108 divisions in the 360° zodiac, corresponding to the 108 Padas of the 27 Nakshatras.

  • Movable Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): The Navamsha starts from the sign itself.
  • Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): The Navamsha starts from the 9th sign from itself.
  • Dual Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): The Navamsha starts from the 5th sign from itself.

Importance of Vargottama

If a planet occupies the same sign in both the D1 and D9 charts, it is called Vargottama. This is a highly auspicious state where the planet gains immense strength to produce positive results, regardless of its house placement.

"; if (isVargottama) { infoText += "Status: Vargottama! This planet/point is exceptionally strong as it occupies the same sign in both D1 and D9 charts."; } else { infoText += "Status: Standard placement in the D9 divisional chart."; } info.innerHTML = infoText; }

Example D9 Calculation

Suppose you have Jupiter at 15° in Leo:

  1. Leo is a Fixed Sign.
  2. For Fixed Signs, the Navamsha count begins from the 9th sign away. Counting 9 signs from Leo (Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries), we start at Aries.
  3. 15 degrees falls into the 5th Navamsha (since each part is 3°20′).
    • 1st: 0° – 3°20′
    • 2nd: 3°20′ – 6°40′
    • 3rd: 6°40′ – 10°00′
    • 4th: 10°00′ – 13°20′
    • 5th: 13°20′ – 16°40′
  4. Starting from Aries, the 5th sign is Leo.
  5. Because Jupiter is in Leo in D1 and Leo in D9, Jupiter is Vargottama.
