16 Rare Secrets of Varga Charts

By
Dr. Pemmaraju VR Rayudu, India

[First we must know the greatness of Mr Rayudu,his work ontiming marriage tothe year
issupposed tobe oneofthefinestever(published in SA), then one must know the greatness of
his Guru Late D V Subbarao, then only one would realize the greatnessofthis article.Theout of
print and just not availablebooks of Late D V Subbarao has been the prized possession of
many Telegu reading astrologers all over India, some of whom have extolled the below secrets
of Varga charts as their own in the last few decades and heraldedthemselves as the Kingsof
Researches in Varga Charts without giving a single line of credit/hint to the Late D V
Subbarao orLateSeshadiriIyer.Wehere atSA bow to Mr Rayudu, who has finally conceded to
our request of 4 yearsfor a series of articles on his Gurus work. As someone rightly said
Knowledge when hidden becomes like stagnant water and turns poison,when releasedfree
with due credit only then it becomes moksha karaka. Editor]
I give below the free translation of the Rules for interpretation of Varga (Divisional) charts from the
Telugu (South Indian Language) book published in April 1970 by my Guru Shri Late D.V.Subbarao.
1. Mars being in 6th bhava would be aspecting the ascendant and hence his 6th position is
always good. Mercury in 8th bhava is always beneficial.
2. In any varga chart planets in kendras (1, 4, 7, 10 bhavas) and konas (1,5,9 bhavas) are
beneficial. That means they give good results to the life aspect represented by that varga. If
they are in 3rd, 6th, 8th, 12th bhavas they give malefic results.
3. Even if planets are in bad positions in bhava chart, if they are in good positions in varga chart
from the ascendant they give benefic results to that varga. Even if the planets are strong in
bhava chart, if they are placed in bad positions in varga chart they would not give benefic
results and they will give bad results to the life aspect of that particular varga chart. The
planets who are benefic both in bhava chart and varga charts would give very good results.
Even if planets are strong and placed in bad places, if they are in good places in varga charts
they give mostly good results only. Even if planets are strong and placed in good positions in

bhava chart, if they are in bad places in varga charts they will give bad effects only to the life
aspects represented by those varga charts. If planets are asthangatha (nearest to sun) or
grahayuddh parajita ( defeated in war) in bhava chart, even if they are in good places in
vargas they will not give good results and such planets if they are in bad places in vargas
they will give much more bad results.
4. In any varga chart the planet which is neechabhanga (debilitation cancelled) and placed in
good position will give good effects.
5. Vargottam (same position in rashi & navamsha), Uccha ( exaltation), own house, Digbala
(strength) will apply in all varga charts. Exaltation in 3, 6, 8, 12 will not be useful.
6. Mahayogas in varga charts will give good results. Aspect of natural malefic planets is bad.
Aspect of natural benefic planets is good. Even if, planets are in bad places if aspected by
strong ]upiter it will be good and in this aspect of neecha (debilitated) Jupiter will not be
useful.
7. The placement of lordship of bhavas in varga charts is not to be considered. The placement
of bhava lords in bhava chart only is to be taken. In varga charts, the placement of lord of
lagna (ascendant) in that varga chart is important.
8. In varga charts, even if debilitated planets are in good places, if they are not neechabhanga
(debilitated cancelled) they will not give good results.
9. It will be good if in every varga chart if lagna (ascendant) is vargottam (same sign in rashi &
navamsha) and if its lord is in benefic position. If not so but in malefic positions, then the
resultant good effects will be felt in dreams only. If lagna and lagna lord are vargottam then it
will be very good. The position of lagna lord in good places is important.
10. In varga chart, if a planet is placed in a strong rashi in 6th house, it will give benefic results in
the beginning and malefic results later on.
11. In all varga charts, it will be good if more planets aspect lagna. In all Vargas, It will be good if
lagna has got subha-argala (good planets on both sides) and it will be bad if lagna has got
papa-argala (bad planets on both sides). Malefic planets should not join with the subhaargala planets. If benefic planets join papaargala planets, even if bad results are in the
beginning, good results will come later on. For planets also subha-argala is good and papaargala is bad.
12. It will be bad if Uccha (exaltation) planets are associated with neecha (debilitation) planets
and if planets are associated with enemy planets.
13. If varga lagna has got good and bad planets argala, good results will come in the
dasa(period) of good planet and bad planet dasa will be bad.

14. In varga charts parivartana yogas (exchange of houses of planets & results) are to be
considered.
15. If in varga chart the lagna lord is in bad places in that varga chart then that planet dasa will
give bad results.
16. There are karakatwas (significations) for different vargas. If those karaka planets are in
karaka bhavas of those vargas they will give bad results. For example: In Siddhamsha if
Mercury is in 4th, in Saptamsha if Jupiter is in lagnal, if in navamsha Venus is in 7th, in
Dwadasamsha if Sun or Moon are in 12th, if in Drekkana Mars or Jupiter in 3rd or 11th
respectively then they will give bad results respectively to education, children, wife/husband,
father, mother, younger or elder coborns. The planets in 3rd and 8th are marakas (death
inflicting) for karakatwas of those vargas.
