Contruction of the Dasamsa/D-10 Chart

As we all know the asterisms/nakshatras that eventually form the Rasis/Signs lik
e Mesha/Aries, Vrishabha/Taurus, etc are laid out around the Earth(360 deg. arou
nd us). Since there are 12 signs, each sign is allocated 30 deg. So Mesha/Aries
is 30 deg, Vrishabha /Taurusis 30 deg, so on and so forth - very basic. So also
we know that every divisional chart is derived from the planetary positions indi
cated in the Rasi chart.
In order to derive the Dasamsa/D-10 chart Each Rasi/Sign in the main Rasi chart
is divided into 10 equal parts of 3 degrees each. So 10 divisions account for th
e total 30 deg. that every sign is composed of.
