What is Navamsa Chart - Your Luck Shines Here!

In Vedic Astrology, a lot of importance has been given to the divisional charts. The Navamsa chart is one of the most popular divisional charts, which has been given equal importance to the Lagna chart or the birth chart. The whole zodiac has been divided into 12 signs consisting of 30 degrees in each zodiac sign. When we divide 30 degrees into nine parts or divisions, each part or division is called a Navamsa or D-9 chart. The Navamsa is the next important chart after the birth/rashi chart. The best astrologer assesses the strength of the planets and houses, education, marriage, health, career, fortune, spiritual progress, etc., from the Navamsa chart.

Navamsa chart- meaning

Navamsa kundli means nine amsa/parts/division. Thus, Navamsa means the 9th division of a sign. In the birth chart, the 9th house is a house of Dharma or religion, also known as Dharmamsa. The Navamsa chart is used for deep and microscopic analysis of aspects of life like fortune, education, marriage, etc.

Navamsa chart and marriage

Navamsa chart is very useful for marriage purposes. However, it is not solely meant for marriage purposes but is considered useful during kundli matching. The Navamsa chart represents a microscopic view of the birth chart, which helps to look at things minutely. There is a misconception that the Navamsa or D9 chart activates after marriage, but this is not at all true. The Navamsa chart has been derived from the Lagna chart. So, Navamsa and other divisional charts get activated as soon as a person takes birth.

The Lagna lord in the Navamsa chart and the position of the seventh lord in the Navamsa chart predict the status of one's marriage. One may check his free kundli online to learn about his married life with the help of his birth and Navamsa chart. The lord of the 1st, 4th, and 7th houses in the Navamsa chart possesses divine significance. These houses represent the qualities of kindness, status, power, and wealth.

Why is the Navamsa chart important?

The Navamsa chart helps to determine the raj yoga and other auspicious and inauspicious yoga in the birth chart. There can be a person who doesn't succeed in life despite having much good yoga. This is because the planet that is creating raj yoga in the kundli is getting either debilitated or weak in the Navamsa chart. If a planet is weak in the Lagna chart and gains strength in the Navamsa chart, the planet starts giving good results. Similarly, a planet, even if exalted, doesn't give good results if it is weak in the Navamsa chart.

Some Rajyogas of the Lagna chart, like Atma karaka, Vargottam, Putra karaka, Dara karaka, Amatya karaka, etc., if sustained in the Navamsa chart, the person gets very good progress and success. For accurate predictions in Astrology, the astrologer should check the position of the planets and yogas in both Lagna and Navamsa charts.

Weak planets in the birth chart get strong in Navamsa, and the native gets favourable results. Planets gaining strength in the Navamsa chart become very powerful. A planet that occupies the same zodiac sign in the birth and Navamsa chart becomes highly powerful and is called a vargottama planet. The kundli analysis gives a gross prediction about various houses and Planets, and things may vary for different people. Thus, the Navamsa is a very important chart in astrology, and we need to use it for deeper understanding.

What is the significance of the Navamsa chart?
