Introduction to Divisional Charts (Vargas)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Divisional charts, also known as Vargas<\/strong>, play a crucial role in Vedic Astrology<\/strong>. They help in fine-tuning predictions<\/strong> by analyzing different aspects of life in greater detail. The concept of Vargas<\/strong> is deeply discussed in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS), Uttara Kalamrita, and Phal Deepika<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each divisional chart represents a specific area of life<\/strong>, and their interpretation adds depth to the standard D1 (Rashi Chart)<\/strong> analysis. The accuracy of divisional charts<\/strong> depends highly on the precise birth time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divisional Chart Calculation & Concept<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 360\u00b0 zodiac is divided into various sections<\/strong>, and planets are assigned new positions in each Varga<\/strong> chart based on mathematical calculations. The exact formula varies<\/strong> for each chart, but they all derive from dividing a sign into smaller parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Are Divisional Charts Created?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each sign (30\u00b0) is divided into smaller segments<\/strong>, and planets are repositioned accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • In the Navamsa (D9) chart<\/strong>, each sign is divided into 9 equal parts of 3\u00b020′ each<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In the Dashamsa (D10) chart<\/strong>, each sign is divided into 10 parts of 3\u00b0 each<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Classification of Divisional Charts (Vargas)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    According to BPHS<\/strong>, 16 main divisional charts<\/strong> (Shodasha Varga) are significant, but there are other extended Vargas<\/strong> used for finer analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
