The Navamsa occupied by planets and the Lagna-point are always mentioned in Vedic astrology. Both the Rasi-chart and the Navamsa-chart are regarded as equally significant and are so consulted simultaneously. The former gives crucial information about the active quality and power of planets and sensitive-points such as the Lagna, whilst the Rasi-chart provides overall information about the placement of planets and sensitive-points such as the Lagna. Although a planet may be well-placed Rasi-wise in the natal chart, its full benefits may not manifest if its position in the navamsa chart is not favorable.

What does the Navamsa chart mean?
In Vedic Astrology, the Navamsa is a Divisional Chart that is highly significant to see. The D9 chart is another name for it. Navamsa means “nine Amsa,” and Amsa means “division.” Navamsa literally translates to “9th Division of a Sign.” The strength of planets in your horoscope is determined by the Navamsa chart. It’s the D9 Chart, which allows you to zoom in on different elements of your life up to 9 times to disclose priceless information about your marriage, life after a certain age, and fortune turnaround. The chart is especially useful in the area of marriage, as it may anticipate when a couple will marry and how delays can be avoided.
Some individuals have the misconception that the D9 chart activates after marriage, but this is not true. The main birth chart is used to create the navamsa chart. The positions of the planets in the primary birth chart are physical positions or Zodiac positions at the time of our birth. However, every divisional chart, including the D9 chart, is merely a logical interpretation or placement. As a result, all of our divisional charts D-9, D-10, and so on are active the instant we are born into this world. To determine the true strength of the planets, the Navamsa should be paired with D-27 (Bhamsha chart).
The gods of the first, fourth, and seventh Navamsas have divine importance. Generosity, power, and money are all attributes it portrays.
The rulers of the second, fifth, and eighth Navamsas represent spiritual renown and benevolence. It refers to a person who is compassionate, has a good heart, and is well-known for working for human welfare.
The 3rd, 6th, and 9th Navamsa lords have demonic significance. It reflects the traits of a demon or Rakshasa, such as being cruel, violent, selfish, and possessing negative tendencies.
The maintaining of yogas in the Lagna chart is a significant aspect of Navamsa that many astrologers overlook. In the Navamsa horoscope, the Rajyogas, or benefic or malefic yogas in the planets, may be seen retaining. We occasionally encounter a chart with two or more Exalted Planets or planets in the same sign, but the person does not achieve much in life. However, a person with poor planet placements can attain a lot of success and status in life. This occurs because when an exalted planet is debilitated in D9 or in the enemy sign in Navamsa, it does not provide favorable results.
Some Rajyogas of the birth horoscope, such as Atma karaka, Putra karaka, Dhara karaka, Amatya karaka, and others, if maintained or increased in number in the Navamsa chart, can be considered very good progress and provide better outcomes after the age of 30. Other negative natal chart combinations can turn positive in Navamsa and vice versa, which must be investigated for accurate astrological predictions.
Planets that are weak in the Lagna chart but strong in the Navamsa are said to bring good fortune. Planets that are reinforced in the Navamsa chart are said to be three times as powerful as those in the Lagna chart. A planet that is in the same place in the birth chart as it is in the Navamsha chart is said to be extremely powerful. The Lagna Chart analysis only provides a broad overview of the various houses and planets. As a result, the Navamsa chart is highly significant in astrology, and we must use it to gain a better understanding.
What is the formula for Navamsa?
In Vedic Astrology, the Navamsa chakra is one of the most essential charts. For astrological purposes, a planet’s sign and position in D-9 are crucial.
Vedic Astrology’s 27 nakshatras (constellations) cover the 12 zodiac signs, encompassing 360 degrees in the sky. The navamsa is a sign’s ninth division. In a chart, there are 12 x 9 = 108 navamsa. Each navamsa corresponds to a nakshatra’s pada. Each nakshatra is 13.33 degrees in length, while each pada is 3.33 degrees in length.
Let us split the sign of Aries into 9 equal parts since it is much easier to grasp divisional charts through numbers than it is through words.
We know that each sign is 30 degrees, therefore we divide by 9 to get 0.0581776417 rad or 3.33 degrees as the unit portion. Each of these units is a separate navamsa, with numbers ranging from 1 to 9.
- Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, while Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac
- Venus, Tauras (2), and Libra(7)
- Mercury is in Gemini (3) and Virgo (6).
- Jupiter is in the signs of Sagittarius (9) and Pisces (12).
- Capricorn (10) and Aquarius (10) are the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius (11)
- Saturn
If the Moon is 5 degrees in the sign of Aries, for example, it will occupy the second navamsa of Aries, Tauras. After the last navamsa of the previous sign, the navamsa of the next sign will begin. So, if Aries’ last navamsa sign is Sagittarius, the Tauras’ first navamsa sign is Capricorn. The Tauras’ fourth sign will be Aries, and the cycle will repeat itself.
A good strategy used by astrologers to rapidly ascertain the navamsa sign is to group the signs. The following are the four groups:
If a planet’s longitude in Virgo is 179 degrees or 29 degrees, it belongs to the second group of Virgo. So, if we divide 29 degrees by 3.33, we get 8.7, which indicates that the planet has passed through the 8th navamsa and is now in the 9th navamsa of the Virgo sign. The planet will occupy the Gemini Navamsa. The first navamsa sign in the group (b) will be Capricorn, and the 9th Rashi from Capricorn will be Gemini.
What exactly is the Navamsa planet?
A Navamsa is one of the Shodasvargas, or 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 visvis other signs and sign-lords. It is equal to one-ninth part of a sign or one nakshatra-pada (one-fourth part of a constellation) and is one of the Shodasvar Planets in Vargottama Lagna are quite strong and offer benefic outcomes if they do not inhabit antagonistic signs, hence birth in Vargottama Lagna is considered very fortunate. A planet’s occupation of its own navamsa is superior to its exaltation-navamsa occupation. A planet in its exaltation sign in the Rasi-chart but in its neecha-navamsa (debilitated in the Navamsa-chart) produces poor results quickly, whereas a planet in its debilitation sign in the Rasi-chart but in its uccha-navamsa (exalted in the Navamsa-chart) inevitably confers fortunate consequences. If planets are in unfriendly signs at the moment of birth, even if they are in Vargottama, all Raja yogas are rendered ineffective, and the same is true if numerous planets are in debilitation. If the Rajayogakarakas occupy their neecha-navamsas, they cease to be Rajayogakarakas. All planets occupying navamsas ruled by Jupiter usually act as benefics and if placed 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. Saturn occupying its own or exaltation sign does not afflict natural benefics or their yoga-formations provided it does not simultaneously occupy its neecha-navamsa. Rahu and Ketu (mythology) do not dominate any navamsa divisions, however Mars has a navamsa in every sign.
The outcomes of planetary periods (dashas) and sub-periods (antra-dashas) differ depending on where those bhava-lords are in the Navamsa-chart. A planet that is otherwise strongly placed in the Rasi-chart with reference to a specific bhava or its lord does not produce in its own dasha/antra-dasha the expected good results relating to that bhava in full if it is situated in the navamsa-chart in the 6th, 8th, or 12th from the sign occupied by that particular bhava-lord, e.g. the lord of the Lagna When the lord of the 2nd house is in conjunction with the lord of the 10th house in the 10th house and the lord of the lagna is involved in Rajayoga, the lord of the 2nd house secures a high political or administrative position during the dasha/antra-dasha of the lord of the 2nd house, but when the lord of the 2nd house is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from the lor
The author of Prasna Marga also mentioned the Nava Navamsa and Navamsa Dwadasamsa positions, the former acquired by multiplying the actual longitude (signs included) of a planet by 81, and the latter obtained by multiplying the actual longitude (signs excluded) of a planet by 12. The navamsa-lagna has a direct influence on the level of success achieved in horary astrology; it should be dominated by a benefic planet and not be in a Shunya Rasi when doing any helpful action, and it should be of planets whose varas are favorable for the event. If benefics are strong in the lagna, a kendra, or a trine, negative effects are reduced, and the Moon’s position in the 11th house eliminates all flaws. The Navamsa Chart is also known as the “Fortune Chart,” since it is a secret power whose strength or weakness determines how one’s destiny unfolds; it determines destiny’s measure. This chart, which is used in conjunction with the Rasi Chart, aids in determining the strengths and weaknesses of planets and their corresponding dispositors at the time of birth, during queries, and for the purpose of determining auspicious muhurtas.
What can the Navamsa chart tell us?
Navamsa is the name of a divisional chart used in Indian Vedic astrology to make predictions. ‘Navamsa’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘nine amsa.’ Amsa can be referred to as a division. The Navamsa chart is developed from the original kundli chart, often known as the birth chart.
In Vedic astrology, the divisional chart, or navamsa, is particularly significant in making forecasts. The nine divisions of a sign in the Lagna chart are known as navamsa. Navamsa is a chart that is extremely useful in predicting marriage and forecasting married life.
Without the Navamsa chart, many Vedic astrologers never anticipate the Rashi chart. As a result, the Navamsa chart is often recognized as a complement to the Rashi chart. The Navamsa chart is also commonly utilized to make marriage and spouse forecasts.
What is the best way to check my marriage in my Navamsa chart?
Analyzing the friendship between Lagna Lord and Navamsa Lagna Lord reveals the nature of a person’s level of friendship with his spouse. If the signals complement each other, implying that they are both friendly, the partners are more likely to have a healthy relationship with fewer disagreements and a strong bond. However, if the signs do not complement one other, conflicts may emerge.
Wealth from Marriage
- The marriage will bring wealth to the family if the lord of the Navamsa lagna chart is present in the 2nd or 11th house of the Lagna chart.
- It symbolizes wealth after marriage if the lord of the 7th house in the Lagna chart moves to the 11th house. If the same thing happens with the D9 navamsa chart, then marriage will bring a lot of money.
Does Navamsa have an impact on one’s physical appearance?
The broad prospects and inclinations of one’s life are revealed by analyzing a Navamsa chart. The ascendant sign and its lord bear witness to the native’s color shape, general personality, and overall mental composition. The physical appearance of a native is usually determined by the Moon’s Navamsa and that of its ascendant lord. The transitory influences of the moon in one’s birth chart and Navamsa have a significant impact on one’s personality. The full set of Navamsa has a significant impact on an individual’s physical characteristics and intrinsic disposition. As a result, the houses of a person’s birth chart should correspond to his Navamsa. Planetary conjunctions and oppositions should be given top emphasis when projecting outcomes.
In a Navamsa chart, what is the 7th house?
While the 7th house of the D-1 is crucial for the spouse, the 7th house of Navamsa is even more important.
A malefic planet in the Navamsa’s 7th house will have a greater impact on marriage than a malefic in the D-1’s 7th house. In the Navamsa, Jupiter or Jupiter with Moon in the 7th house symbolizes a happy and faithful marriage. Venus exalted, Venus with a benefic, and Venus with Jupiter are all signs of marital bliss. Marriage is beneficial when the 7th lord of Navamsa is aspected by Jupiter or when the 7th lord of Kendra is aspected by a benefic. Even Jupiter’s aspect on the 7th house ensures a joyful marriage.
A happy marriage is not indicated by the planets Saturn, Mars, or Sun in the 1st house of the Navamsa or conjunct with the lord of the 1st house of the Navamsa. The conjunction of Saturn and Mars with the lord of the 1st or 7th house of the Navamsa denotes difficulties. When Mars conjuncts the 1st lord of Navamsa, it can signal a divorce. Venus in a Mars-ruled Rashi denotes a direct and forceful approach to partnerships. A love of luxuries is indicated by Mars in a Venus Rashi. When Mars and Venus switch houses in the Navamsa, it could indicate a breakup or a love affair that does not lead to marriage. If other evidence supports it, it points to unfaithfulness and a large number of partnerships.
The Navamsa can also reveal whether or not a marriage is between castes. Rahu is a sign of nonconformity. Rahu aspecting the 7th lord or the 7th house of the Navamsa can indicate an unusual marriage. Venus with Rahu in the 11th or 6th house, 7th lord with Rahu and Mars, Moon and Mars in 6/8 to each other, Mars and Venus in angles, 7th lord with Saturn in the 12th house, and Moon with 7th lord along with Venus being aspected by Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu are other inter-caste marriage combinations.
Any illnesses or malefic impact on a planet in the Navamsa chart will be negative, independent of the Rashi in which the planet is positioned. The lordship of the house in which a planet is located has an impact on its meaning.
