Since I assume the audience here (in this series of articles)\u00a0is intermediate to advanced in their knowledge of astrology, I will take the liberty of not explaining basic terminologies or assumptions which form an integral part of such writings. I wish to discuss a few topics I am asked about very frequently-<\/p>\n
(I) Planets in Navamsa affect you later in life? <\/strong><\/p>\n D9 or Navamsa on a physical manifestation represents the spouse\/ marriage and the dignity of planets and hence is to be consulted for\u00a0marital matters\u00a0along with its status as one of the most important of all divisionals.<\/p>\n The reason for this high importance of D9 is the fact that it is akin to the fruit if D1 or rasi chart is the tree. Navamsa signifies the real dignity of a planet as it represents the dignity of the learnings the planet gives via its dasa or early in the early part of life.<\/p>\n In a spiritual context it is the crystallized thought process one develops after learnings and experiences in life and thus the concept of it triggering later in life or later in a dasa <\/span> <\/p>\n (II) Is Saturn better to be in Capricorn\/ Aquarius as opposed to Libra in Navamsa?<\/strong><\/p>\n Aquairus is best followed by Capricorn and then Libra. Also a Virgottam planet is strong too (unless the virgottam is happeing in an inimical sign for the planet) Hence Virgottam in Aries will not be good as Saturn is debilitated and agitated in Aries as it considers Mars as a mortal enemy<\/p>\n mathematically the saptvarga component of shadbala contributes about\u00a0 60-65% of entire shadbala potential for a planet. Saptvarga as you know is one of the components of Sthana Bala for a planet. (III) Are Yogas to be considered in Divisional Charts?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is highly controversial among Vedic\u00a0 astrologers. In my humble experience and knowledge, the answer is NO!<\/p>\n Divisionals are not independent charts by themselves. They provide deep rooted and specific information in particular areas of life but have to be seen in context of the D1 chart and not independently read for Yogas etc. That does not mean one should not observe the interactions of planets in divisionals as they all have a meaning, but a Gajakesari Yoga in a divisional is irrelevant in the absolute context as the yoga is not physically occurring. Physical manifestation of planets is happening ONLY in the D1 chart and hence Yogas in the divisionals are mathematical formulations and not ‘Live events’ actually influencing the person in the physical manifestion of day to day life.<\/p>\n I advocate the Rashi Tulya Navamsa methodology. As an example in Navamsa if Jupiter is placed in cancer and in Rasi chart it is placed in Virgo as the 9th house, then Jupiter is also affecting the 7th house of the chart as Cancer will be the 7th bhaav in the lagna chart. hence the significations of Jupiter in 9th in D1 will manifest or ‘Ripen’ through 7th bhaav significations which can include spouse\/ partnerships or foreign lands (all 7th features)<\/p>\n Another important point to note is that if a planet is Virgottam in any divisional, it will tend to give the effects of that Chart significations very strongly. Example say Capricorn lagna and Mercury in 9th house (ruling 6th and 9th) and virgottam in navamsa (in virgo in navamsa). Now this Mercury even though doesn’t rule the 7th house or marriage or even if not related to Moon (lord of 7th house) will still tend to precipitate marriage or marriage related effects for the native as D9 (navamsa) is also the chart of marriage and Mercury has become Virgottam in that particular Harmonic. So such results can precipitate in the dasas of Mercury regardless of no apparent connection of Mercury with the 7th bhaav of marriag in this case.<\/p>\n Likewise a planet Virgottam in Dasamsa will tend to give career\/ job related effects very strongly in its dasas and a planet Virgottam in D3 will tend to give sibling related effects in its dasas etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since I assume the audience here (in this series of articles)\u00a0is intermediate to advanced in their knowledge of astrology, I will take the liberty of not explaining basic terminologies or assumptions which form an integral part of such writings.

This is the logic that goes behind a planet strong in Navamsa giving better results later in life or later in the course of its dasa as the Navamsa will depict your internal\/ soul’s learning from what the planet offered in its dasa<\/span>
Another point to keep in mind is that the concept of exaltation and debilitation holds more value in D1 than any other harmonic including navamsa. Exaltation comes in particular sign nakshatra and degree for each planet due to deeply specific reasons as per sage parasara. But keep in mind as an example moon is exalted in the second pad of krittika which is the first navamsa of taurus. In the second navamsa of taurus moon becomes mooltrikona. BUT..in Navamsa or dasamsa or any other divisional 2nd pad of krittika does NOT fall after first in Krittika etc. In other words the ‘lengths’ are immaterial in the harmonics<\/span>
Hence in any divisonal, even though the software will spit out a degree in that divisonal the planet has, it is insignificant as exaltation is defined for D1 as the nakshatras dont exist in divisonals as they become mathematical points. So a deeply exalted Moon in 2nd Pad of Krittika, will not give bad results later in life or later in its dasa!<\/span>
So what does it mean? A planet in its own ‘shade’ i.e. own rashi or mooltrikona rashi is stronger than an exalted planet in a divisonal like navamsa or any other divisional. Hence Jupiter is preferable to have in Saggi or Pisces in any divisional as opposed to Cancer as far as shadbala or manifestation of results is concerned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
From an under<\/span>standing perspective a planet in own sign in a divisonal is precipitating that energy deeply as its signifying it’s own energy. As an example,\u00a0in a divisional sun in aries is precipitating the energy of mars much of which is not really sun’s agenda. However it is still good as Sun considers Mars to be a great friend, but Sun is best placed in Leo in terms of any divisional (from a mathematical perspective of strength as well)<\/span>
