Usage of Navamsa Chart in Predictions

Navamsa Chart is the most important divisional chart, Navamsa means nine part of a particular Rashi
in which each Amsa consists of 3 degrees and 20 minutes.
It is usually used during predictions about marriage of the native, spouse, married life etc but is also
useful to know characteristics of the native and also his/her spouse in much detail.
For a planet posited in a Movable sign (Chara Rashi) counting starts from the sign itself, in fixed sign
counting starts from 9th and in dual sign counting starts from 5th from where the planet is posited.
Planets in the first Navamsa division. Chara Rashi, 5th division in the fixed sign (Sthir Rashi) and 9th
division in Dual Rashi are Vargottoma.
Importance of Navamasa
Navamsa is invariably necessary to be checked for each and every event to be delineated from the
horoscope. According to Shastras, without Navamsa chart predictions are not ventured without
anyalsing the position of planets in the Navamsa chart for a particular bhava and its representative.
Sthoolam or apparent look is D-1 chart, Sukhsham Sharira is D-9 chart and it should have inherent
permanent strength. If Sukhsham Sharira does not possesses strength one will always be liable for
having loss the materalistic possessions he has. Otherwise also sustaining engeries for a native will be
very less if Sukhshma Sharira is not properly balanced.
Planets debilitated in D-1 exalted in D-9 are considered to give more favourable results and are
considered to be more powerful and vice-versa. Any planet or Bhava should have equal or more
strenght in D-9 chart to advocate sustaining power of that particular Bhava or planet. Any planet in its
own Rashi placed in D-1 chart should go into its own Rashi, Mooltrikon sign, exaltation sign or great
friends sign. They should not go into inimical signs, untoward behaves or connected with them
should not be debilitated or should not otherwise loose strenght in D-9 chart. One has to analysis the
exact strength of a planet in D-9 chart in respect of basic chart, transit chart (prashna chart) any
planet gaining strength in Navamsa multiply its power with three times.
Classification and Lords of Navamsa
The lords of Navamsa are as follows:
a. The lord of first, 4th and 7th Navamsa is Deva which means the divine lord. It represent the
qualities of generosity, power, wealth. Native born in this part of Navamsa are generous, religious and
powerful.
b. The lord of 2nd, 5th and 8th Navamsa represent Nara which means a man or person of kind, soul
and reputed. Engaged in the pursuits of human welfare.
c. The lords of 3rd, 6th and 9th Navamsa represent the charatertistics of Rakshaha or a demon. This
part represent cruel, quarry, violent, selfish and person of a negative qualities.
In Navamsa two things are must to be seen. The Lagna Bhava and Lagna Lord should not be into 6th,
8th or 12th Bhava in D-9. If it is moveable sign it should not be in 6th Navamsa or 8th Navamsa, if it is
fixed Sign it should not to be in 4th Navamsa and in Dual sign it should not be in 2nd, 4th, & 8th
Navamsa. Secondly, 6th, 8th & 12th lord of D-1 should not get associated with Lagna Bhava or lagna
lord in D-9. When the Lagna and Lagna Lord of D-9 gets associated with 6, 8 or 12 of D-9. The first
level of afflictions will give the affects in the Mahadasha of Planets connecting to these Lagna Lord
and Lagna. The second level of afflictions is in the Antradasha of these planets and the third level in
the Pratyanter Dashas. One with experience these kinds of troubles and anxietities in life.
Blessings of Pushkara Navamsa
Pushkaramsa represent Pushkara Navamsa of 3o-20 in a Rasi which is its most ausupious part. Each
Rasi has two Pushkara Navamsa and thus their total in 122 = 24. These Navamsa are owned by the
benefic planets and can predict benefic results, when applying in muhurata, prasana and timing of
events, Jupiter when in pushkara bless the native with plenty of wealth and progress in life. In
Navamsa for the purpose of self one has to see the strength of 5th house in D-9 of Lagna, Lagna Lord,
the Sun and dispositior of the Sun. For analysing ones poorva punya karmas how will they fruitify.

Lagna, lagna Lord, 3rd house, 3rd Lord, Saturn and its dispositor in D-9 they will talk of ones
endurance in this life. Poorva punaya karmas and their afflictions can be seen from 5th houses/ 5th
lord and from the Karka Jupiter and its dispositior. Now where you are analysing spouse, Lagna,
Lagna Lord, 7th house, 7th Lord, Venus and its dispositor. Foreign travels and associated things 3,
7, 9, 12 houses/ Lords (Kalapurshas 3th lord Gemeni and its Lord Mercury alongwith Venus) they talk
of foreign settlements and disease. Lagna, Lagna Lord, 6th lord, Ketu and dispositor of Ketu for
diseases and curing of disases Rahu and dispositior of Rahu (in transit).
Navamsa and Marital happiness
Navamsa chart help in analysising the married life of the spouse and their contirbution in the growth
of family. It help in assessing the mental compatability with his spouse and their capactities in life.
Further Navamsa chart analyses the timing of marriage and means to counteract the delays.
Individual analysis of D-9 chart is also possible for looking at the prospects of ones life. Lagna will
talk of ones spouse and spouse qualities, temperament, colour, physical appearances, and general
disposition. The following charts will help in understanding the importance of Navamsa Charts.

Navamsa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Vedic astrology a constant reference is made to the Navamsa occupied by planets and the Lagnapoint. Both, the Rasi-chart and the Navamsa-chart are deemed equally important and therefore,
consulted together. Whereas the Rasi-chart provides overall information regarding the location of
planets and sensitive-points such as the Lagna, the latter provides vital information regarding their
active quality and strength. A planet may be well-placed in the natal-chart Rasi-wise but its full effects
may not materialise if its situation in the navamsa-chart is not supportive.[1]
Definition
In Vedic astrology, Navamsa means one-ninth part of a Zodiac Sign. Navamsa literally means the
"Ninth Division". Thus, each navamsa measures 3 degrees and 20 minutes in longitude or one-quarter
of a Nakshatra (Constellation), and the Zodiac of Signs comprises 108 navamsas divided into four
groups, 1) Mesha (Aries), Simha (Leo) and Dhanus(Sagittarius) for which signs the navamsas are
from Aries to Dhanus, 2) Vrishibha (Taurus), Kanya (Virgo) and Makara(Capricorn) they are
from Makara to Kanya, 3) Mithuna (Gemini), Tula (Libra) and Kumbha (Aquarius) they are
from Tula to Mithuna, 4) Kataka (Cancer), Vrishchika (Scorpio) and Meena (Pisces) they are
from Kataka to Meena; the Lagna (Ascendant)rising or the planet situated in the first navamsa
of Chara rasis ("movable signs"), in the 5th navamsa of Sthira rasis ("fixed signs") and in the 9th
navamsa of Dwisavbhava rasis ("common signs") will be in Vargottama and hence strong.[2][3]
The lords of 1st, 4th and 7th navamsa of a sign represent the Deva ("Divine beings" and constructive
forces); persons born with any of these navamsas rising in the Lagna are generous, religious, wealthy,
powerful and influential. Persons born in the 2nd, 5th or the 8th navamsa whose lords represent
the Naras ("Human beings" and their efforts) are generally kind, good natured, engaged in the
pursuits of human welfare and reputed; and in the 3rd, the 6th or the 9th navamsa whose lords
represent the Rakshasas ("Demonic beings" and evil forces) are selfish,cruel, violent, destructive and
possess many negative qualities. Moreover, the Lagna-rasi and the Lagna-lord should not form or
occupy the 6th, the 8th or the 12th bhava in the Navamsa Chart nor the lords of the 6th, the 8th or the
12th of the Rasi Chart associate with the Navamsa Lagna or its lord.[4]
In the Jaimini System of prognostication the use of seven karakas determined according to the
respective longitudes of the seven planets is recommended and their navamsa-occupation noted. Any

planet can acquire any karakatwa but the prime indicator is the Atmakaraka along with the various
lagnas and padas.
Implication
A Navamsa is equal to one-ninth part of a sign or one nakshatra-pada (one-fourth part of a
constellation) and is one of the Shodasvargas i.e. one of the sixteen sub-divisions of a sign that give
more and more precise good or bad position of a planet or lagna-point in the natal-chart vis--vis
other signs and sign-lords. Birth in Vargottama Lagna is considered very fortunate and planets
in Vargottama are very strong and confer benefic results if they do not occupy inimical signs. The
occupation of own navamsa by a planet is superior to the occupation of its exaltation-navamsa. The
planet which is in its exaltation sign in the Rasi-chart but situated in its neecha-navamsa (debilitated
in Navamsa-chart) produces its bad results very soon, however, a planet situated in its debilitation
sign in the Rasi-chart but in its uccha-navamsa (exalted in Navamsa-chart) invariably confers
auspicious results. If at the time of birth planets are placed in inimical signs even if they be
in Vargottamathey render all Raja yogas useless, the same is true if many planets are in debilitation.
The Rajayogakarakas cease to be Rajayogakarakas if the happen to occupy their neechanavamsas. Saturn occupying its own or exaltation sign does not afflict natural benefics or their yogaformations provided it does not simultaneously occupy its neecha-navamsa but all planets occupying
navamsas ruled by Jupiter usually act as benefics and if situated in a kendra, in the 9th or in the 2nd
house from the lagna make one very learned, famous and even establish a new school of thought or
system. Rahu and Ketu (mythology) do not rule any navamsa-division but a navamsa of Mars is to be
found in all signs.[5]
Results of planetary periods (dashas) and sub-periods (antra-dashas) vary in accordance with the
particular location of those bhava-lords in the Navamsa-chart. A planet otherwise strongly placed in
the Rasi-chart with reference to a specific bhava or its lord does not produce in its own dasha/antradasha the anticipated good results relating to that bhava in full if it happens to be situated in the
navamsa-chart in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th from the sign occupied by that particular bhava-lord e.g.
the lord of the Lagna situated in the 3rd house in conjunction with the lord of the 3rd gives
prosperous, happy and helpful brothers but if in the navamsa-chart the lord of the lagna is in the 6th,
the 8th or the 12th from the lord of the 3rd then there may be enmity with brothers or sorrow to them.
If the lord of the 2nd house is in conjunction with the lord of the 10th situated in the 10th house and
the lord of the lagna is involved in Rajayoga one secures a high political or administrative position
during the dasha/antra-dasha of the lord of the 2nd house but in case in the navamsa-chart the lord of
the 2nd is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th from the lord of the 10th then contrary results will be
experienced.[6]
In Prasna Marga the author has in addition to the Navamsa also referred to the Nava Navamsa and
the Navamsa Dwadasamsa positions, the former position is obtained by multiplying the actual
longitude (signs included) of a planet by 81, and the latter by multiplying the actual longitude (signs
excluded) of a planet by 12.[7] In Horary astrology, the navamsa-lagna has a direct bearing on the level
of success reached; it should be ruled by a benefic planet and not be in a Shunya Rasi at the time of
performing any beneficial activity, be of planets whose varas are favourable for the event. Negative
effects diminish if benefic are strong in the lagna, in a kendra or in a trine, the situation of
the Moon in 11th house removes all defects.[8] The Navamsa Chart is also called the "Fortune Chart",
for it is the hidden force and on its strength or weakness depends how ones destiny unfolds; it gives
the measure of destiny. This chart, which complements the Rasi Chart, helps judge the strengths and
weaknesses of planets and their respective dispositors as at the time of ones birth, at the time of query
and for purpose of fixing auspicious muhurtas.[9]
Role in Yoga formation

Main articles: Yoga (Hindu astrology) and Raja yoga (Hindu astrology)
All yoga formations follow inviolable basic rules and principles and therefore, the yogas described by
the various texts are very certain in their construction and impact. All sub-divisions of a sign,
including the navamsa situation of planets, have prescribed roles and results and contribute to
their varga-wise awastha determination. For example, a Raja yoga description reads as follows:
If at the time of birth the Moon situated in a trikona-bhava (trine) is in the 8th navamsa
of Aquarius, Mars occupies the 7th navamsa of Aries and Mercury is in the
21st vimsamsa of Gemini, a king is born.
This yoga is possible for Gemini lagna and Libra lagna. Then, the Moon occupying its exalted
navamsa will be in a trikona-bhava from a strong Mercury. Mars in its own sign in the house of
gains (11th house) or in the 7th, casting its aspect on the lagna while occupying an unfriendly but
a benefic navamsa can make one an unforgiving undisputed undefeated despot. In the case of
Gemini lagna the person will be a very wealthy ruler, and in the case of Libra lagna the person will
be an all-conquering emperor. And, for example,
Jataka Tattva states that first find out in which drekkena (decanate) the lords of the 2nd and
the 11th are placed, then find out the lords of the navamsas that are occupied by the lords of
those drekkenas, if the lords of these navamsas attain Vaishesika-amsa and occupy the
kendras or the trikonas from the lagna then the person will be blessed with a very sound
financial status.
Vaishesika-amsa is attained when a planet not in its debilitation sign or combust or defeated
in grahyuddha avoiding a trika-bhava (6th, 8th or 12th) happens to occupy all ten own,
friendly or exalted vargas (sub-divisions) of a sign.[10]
As per Jaimini the financial status of a person is indicated by the Lagnarudha and its
lord. Arudha lagna associated with benefics gives wealth, if the 2nd house from this lagna is
occupied by Venus, Moon and Jupiter or if the Arudha rasi of the 7th house happens to be a
kendra or trikona or the 3rd or 11th from Lagnarudha the person will be very wealthy.
Poverty is indicated if the Arudha rasi of the 7th falls on the 6th, the 8th or the 12th
from Lagnarudha. There will be destruction of wealth through association with women of illrepute if the 9th from Karakamsa is joined by Rahu.[11] Karakamsa is the navamsa occupied
by the Atmakaraka, the planet most advanced in any one sign in one's natal chart.

Navamsa - The Key to Marriage

The Basics:
The Navamsa is a zooming tool into your basic horoscope. It is a 9x Zoom meaning each sign is
expanded 9 times so you have a finer picture of the position of planets in your horoscope. A Navamsa
chart resembles your basic Rasi chart and is extracted out of your Rasi Chart or your basic horoscope.
While a Rasi Chart consists of 12 parts, the Navamsa consists of 12 x 9 = 108 parts.
Maharshi Parasara the sage whose writings are found today in the book titled "Maharshi Parasara
Hora Sastra" says "From your Navamsa chart know more about your marriage".
The problem with the Navamsa Chart is that it is very sensitive to time of birth when compared to a
Rasi chart. An error of a few minutes may cause very significant changes in the Navamsa Chart. For
example in a Rasi Chart the Ascendant changes every 2 hours in a Navamsa chart the Ascendant
changes every 2 hours / 9 = 13 minutes and 20 minutes.

So if you are not sure of the time of birth it is better to leave the Navamsa alone. Of course the
positions of planets in Navamsa do not change with changes in time of birth but we are talking about
the Navamsa Lagna (Ascendant).
Navamsa reveals when the Marriage will happen
Planets placed in the 1st or 7th house in the Navamsa may be considered as giver of marriage. . If
from the Rasi chart the same planets are connected to houses of marriage you can be 100% sure that
such planets will give marriage.
Planets exalted in Navamsa usually gives auspicious results and marriage is one. Therefore Planets
exalted in Navamsa also try to give marriage during their sub periods (Bhukti).
The lord of the 7th house in the Navamsa chart is a strong contender for marriage.
In most cases the basic horoscope is sufficient for finding the most probable time for marriage. But in
case there are many planets that become nominee planets for marriage choosing one may become
difficult even for experienced Astrologers. Which is when the Navamsa comes in as a handy tool.
Sometime a planet that is in the 7th house in the Bhava Chart (house division chart) is also in the 7th
house in the Navamsa Chart then if the person is not yet married, then during the ruling period of that
planet the marriage will take place.
If marriage does not take place then the person will have "marriage like experience" meaning regular
physical union with someone without the marriage. Sometime this may confuse researchers in
Astrology when the client refuses to part with the secret affair. This may often lead to the situation
where the Astrologer feels that the time of birth is probably wrong. Usually in traditional Indian
families pre-marital sex is the worst thing that can happen so the person does not reveal the premarital sex because in most cases the parents come along with the children to an Astrologer.
Navamsa reveals when the Divorce will happen
Planets placed in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th are indicators of trouble in marriage. If the Rasi Chart
indicates divorce, the navamsa indicates when the divorce will happen.
Warning: Without the basic chart indicating divorce do not use the Navamsa for timing divorce.
During the conjoined periods of planets in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th house divorce is strongly
indicated. In case the Rasi chart does not indicate divorce even then these planets indicate some other
problem related to marriage. It may be a temporary separation, the spouse may go off to a foreign land
for example.
It is better to get married after the bad period is over. If a person is in love with someone and then in
the near future there is the conjoined periods of planets placed in the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th house of
the Navamsa chart, then the love affair will end (break) during that time. A wise Astrologer should
advise the person to delay the marriage (cross the weak bridge).
The Navamsa reveals more about your spouse.
If the lord of the 7th house in the Navamsa Chart is Jupiter and Jupiter (Guru) is exalted in Navamsa
then the person will get married to a very attractive person (usually fairer or more charming than
others). This planetary position also indicates that the spouse will have a positive role to play. This
means that after marriage the person will become happier and wealthier or get luckier.
NAVAMSA and its Hidden Concepts

Almost all of the Indian Vedic astrologers and many of the western astrologers too consider this chart
as one of the most important charts after Lagan chart and Shastyamsa (D-60) chart.
Reason is simple, there are many aspects of native's life which can be seen and understood from this
chart only. No other chart can even dare to give those detailed clues which Navamsa chart can easily
provide at one glance.
Yes I know that many of the learned members must be contemplating and assuming that we already
know well about this chart, so there is no need for us to read this post but still I beg your pardon to
write something more about this chart.
First concept
We generally have a lot of expectations from our spouse or would be spouse but when those
expectations doesn't get fulfilled or met which is generally the case, then we tend to start the blame
game.
Comments like you should have done this, you should not take me for granted, why you always keep
fighting with me, why dont you respect me, you never acknowledge me etc
Now if you closely observe all of the above comments, which are the part and parcel of any
relationship then you would find that, in some or the other way we are in a habit of finding fault with
our spouse or partner, I am not saying that your partner can never be at fault but the point is even if
he or she has 1 fault then out of the 100 good points, the partner will always be able to find or identify
that one fault, focus on it consistently keeping aside all the good habits which your partner invariably
have.
In fact most of the times that 1 fault of your partner becomes everything for you which in turn
provokes you to blast him/her then and there.
NOW coming to the point please dont mind these stories and introduction are always necessary to
bring you all on my thinking platform.
Actually Navamsa chart operates more on an astral plane rather than on a materialistic plane. It
reflects all the weaknesses which we have all-through but fail to acknowledge them, In other words
your spouse is nothing but your own reflection which you have never seen.
Couples say that we two are absolutely different personalities but they forget that they are the
different sides of the same coin.
Habits which your partners have are nothing but your own subtle expectations of which you are also
unaware about and all these habits can be understood deeply by analyzing the Navamsa chart.
Divorces happen because your other side of personality (unknown to you) when comes in front of you
in the form of your spouse then it gives a big shock to you.
Then you say that I never deserved this, he/she was not meant for me, he/she has changed.
Indeed the point is he/she has not changed but the destiny has shown you the MIRROR.
When your own hidden negative qualities come to you through your spouse then you express SHOCK,
In-spite of the fact that you were already nurturing those qualities inside you for a long time.
This is the irony of the concept.
CRUX is; SEE THE UNKNOWN SIDE of your personality (Good or bad) in the Navamsa chart

People who have no hidden negative qualities or know about their negative qualities their D-9 chart
supports their lagan chart or compliments their lagan chart and we all know that when this happens
then the native RISE in life and hence are much more fortunate in life, Reason is now clear.
Their SOUL matches with their actions as a result whatever work they will do will have purity, so the
success rest with them as these people never hide anything from them, they are open enough to know
about their negative qualities and rectify them. People who are afraid to look deep inside them are left
behind in the race of life. Looking at you own negative qualities means you are honest to yourself and
when you are honest to yourself, you will honest to others too as a result GOD will always be there at
your back.
If you are doing bad deeds, then obviously, you will not be able to look into your own eyes and this
would be visible from your D-9 chart.
Few other concepts
1) Analyze your Navamsa lord of 7th lord (From lagan chart)...in lagan chart.
This will give you the information about, what are the qualities which helps you to hold your
relationship or the qualities which you and your spouse cherish and because of which you two are
together.
For example, take Scorpio lagan, Venus becomes the 7th lord (take the corrected lordship from cusp
chart), suppose Venus is placed in Capricorn in d-9, now the lord of this rashi is Saturn, Hence see the
strength, placement, conjunctions of this Saturn in LAGAN chart.
2) See the placement of Navamsa lagan lord in Navamsa chart.
Now observe how the native inherently behaves with his/her spouse.
If it is placed in 6th house: native will tend to fight with his/her spouse.
8th house: native will hide the things from his spouse and will not be transparent.
12th house: The native would be indifferent for his or her spouse.
3) See the placement, strength, conjunctions of the Navamsa lagan lord in lagan chart.
This will give you the information about, how the native behaves with his spouse in front of the whole
world.
4) Spouse should be seen from 7th house of Navamsa chart.
How will he/she behaves with the native.
Apply the 2nd and 3rd points likewise.
Few more concepts
1) Kind of relationship between the native and his spouse can also be judged by the intensity of
friendship between the lagan lord and Navamsa lagan lord.
But careful analysis should be done before jumping to any conclusion.
For ex: If a native has Scorpio ascendant and Virgo ascendant is in Navamsa then though mars and
mercury are enemies but if Jupiter happens to be in Navamsa lagan then since Jupiter is the friend of
mars so the bad influence would be reduced an astrologer should be very careful while analyzing
things.

2) If the lord of Navamsa lagan is present in 2nd or 11th house of lagan chart then the spouse will
bring wealth to the family.
3) If Lord of the Navamsa happens to be in lagan or 7th or 9th house of lagan chart then marriage
would be auspicious and stable.
But again remember do not jump to conclusions immediately this Navamsa lagan lord should NOT be
debilitated, com-bust, in enemy sign, under any kind of malefic influence etc etc, Otherwise results
will not come to pass.
