Calculate all 16 Vedic divisional charts (Shodashvarga) — from D1 (Rashi) and D9 (Navamsha) to D10 (Dashamsha) and D60 (Shashtiamsha) instantly.
Divisional Charts (Vargas) are micro-astrological charts created by dividing each sign of the 360° zodiac into specific mathematical fractions (from 1/2 to 1/60th). In classical Parashari astrology, all 16 Shodashvargas—including Navamsha (D9) and Dashamsha (D10)—are essential to reveal career status, marital harmony, wealth, and accumulated karma.
While the primary Rashi Chart (D1) represents the physical manifest blueprint of your life, Vedic astrology creates micro-divisional charts—known as Vargas—by slicing each sign into 9, 10, 12, or up to 60 mathematical portions. Each Varga serves as a high-definition magnifying lens focusing exclusively on a single sector of human experience.
The most critical secondary chart is the Navamsha (D9), which reveals the true inner strength of your planets, marriage compatibility, and dharmic path after age 30. Other crucial Vargas include Dashamsha (D10) for career and social status, Saptamsha (D7) for children, and the subtle Shashtiamsha (D60) which records accumulated past-life karma.
Curious about how different astrological houses (Bhavas) and their lords translate from D1 to nested divisional sub-charts?
Explore the House Meanings Directory →In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), Divisional Charts (known as Vargas or Sub-Charts) are microscopic astrological charts generated by mathematically dividing each 30-degree sign of the main birth chart (D1 Rashi Chart) into equal fractions.
While the D1 Rashi chart provides the macro-level blueprint of your life, Varga charts act as high-definition magnifying lenses. Maharishi Parashara introduced 16 canonical divisional charts (Shodashvarga), where each chart is dedicated exclusively to analyzing specific domains—such as career (D10), marriage (D9), wealth (D2), children (D7), and past karma (D60).
Two individuals born on the same day in the same hospital might share similar planetary signs in their D1 chart. However, their divisional charts—such as D9 (Navamsha) and D10 (Dashamsha)—will differ significantly because sub-chart Ascendants shift in a matter of minutes.
| Varga Code | Chart Name | Division Arc | Primary Focus Domain |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Rashi Chart | 30°00' | Overall life blueprint, physical body, general fortune |
| D2 | Hora Chart | 15°00' | Wealth accumulation, financial assets, family resources |
| D3 | Drekkana | 10°00' | Siblings, courage, initiatives, short travels |

| D7 | Saptamsha | 4°17' | Children, grandchildren, progeny, creative output |
| D9 | Navamsha | 3°20' | Marriage, spouse traits, inner strength, dharma (most vital) |
| D10 | Dashamsha | 3°00' | Career, professional status, public fame, authority |
| D12 | Dvadashamsha | 2°30' | Parents, ancestral lineage, childhood heritage |
| D16 | Shodashamsha | 1°52' | Conveyances, luxury vehicles, physical comforts |
| D20 | Vimsamsha | 1°30' | Spiritual progress, meditation, devotion, worship |
| D24 | Chaturvimsamsha | 1°15' | Higher education, academic research, learning |
| D30 | Trimsamsha | 1°00' | Health afflictions, miseries, dark karmic traits |
| D60 | Shashtiamsha | 0°30' | Past-life karma, root cause of destiny (ultimate subtle chart) |
Compare how the three primary charts work together in chart reading:
| Feature | D1 Rashi Chart | D9 Navamsha Chart | D10 Dashamsha Chart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Division Arc | 30° per sign | 3°20' per sign (1/9th) | 3°00' per sign (1/10th) |
| Core Function | Physical body, external environment & raw potential | Inner strength, marital harmony & second half of life | Professional achievements, career status & public recognition |
| Sensitivity to Birth Time | Lagna shifts every ~2 hours | Lagna shifts every ~13 minutes | Lagna shifts every ~12 minutes |
Divisional charts are used by astrology students, researchers, and professional astrologers for targeted life insights:
Identify ideal career paths, job shifts, and public promotion timing by evaluating 10th house lords across D1 and D10.
Check whether a planet exalted in D1 retains its strength in D9 Navamsha, and evaluate spouse compatibility alongside our Kundali Milan Tool.
Cross-verify Varga placements with Shadbala Strengths and our Gurukul Bhavas Guide.
Consider an individual with the Sun exalted in Aries in their main D1 birth chart. Externally, this individual shows leadership and confidence during early life. However, upon inspecting their D9 Navamsha chart, the Sun falls into Libra (its sign of debilitation).
As the individual reaches age 35 and enters their Sun Mahadasha, the inner weakness of the debilitated D9 Sun causes unexpected ego clashes and leadership challenges. This demonstrates why reading D1 without D9 can lead to incomplete astrological predictions. Learn more in our Kundali Guide.
Divisional Charts are sub-charts generated by mathematically dividing each 30-degree sign into equal fractions to analyze specific life areas like career, marriage, or past karma.
Navamsha is the "soul" of the birth chart. It tests the inner strength of planets, predicts marital harmony, and shows the destiny that unfolds during the second half of life.
The D10 chart divides each sign into 10 parts and evaluates professional achievements, public status, career promotions, and authority.
Because higher Vargas divide 30 degrees into small arcs (e.g. D9 is 3°20', D60 is 0°30'), Lagna ascendants in sub-charts change within minutes.
