D24 Chaturvimsamsa Chart Calculator

The D24 chart, Chaturvimsamsa or Siddhamsa, is the education chart. It is read for schooling, learning, degrees and the success that comes from study. Parents often ask about it when a child is choosing a stream or a university.

The fourth house covers basic schooling and the fifth covers higher intelligence in the birth chart, and D24 adds a layer on top of both. It is a chart that rewards a precise birth time, as the Ascendant changes about every five minutes.

Read it with the D1 birth chart beside it. If you also want the marriage and strength chart, open the D9 Navamsa.

Each sign is divided into twenty-four parts of 1°15′. In an odd sign the count starts at Leo. In an even sign it starts at Cancer.

Your birth details go to the same astrology service that powers the free Kundli. The page reads the divisional Ascendant, each planet’s sign, house, degree and part from the response and draws them with the Kundli chart renderer.

This illustration contains invented positions to show the chart layout.

• The top diamond is the first house. The 3 in it means Gemini is the divisional Ascendant.
• Houses follow anticlockwise from there, each with the next sign number.
• Each label is a short planet name and its degree inside that sign. A star marks a retrograde planet.
• In your own D24 chart the signs and houses come from the divisional positions, so they will rarely match your D1.

The houses keep their usual meanings. What changes is which planets fall in them, and that is what makes the chart specific to education. Use the table to find the house you want, then read the planets in it.

Once the chart is drawn, work through it in this order. Each point below is a place astrologers look first for education.

• Do not use D24 to steer a child toward or away from a subject. Interest, effort and teaching matter more than any placement.
• Take care with young people. A chart is not a verdict on ability, and a gentle reading is better than a blunt one.
• Use a birth time from a certificate or hospital record, check AM and PM, and choose your town from the suggestions so the coordinates are right.
• If another website shows a different chart, compare the ayanamsa and the division rule it uses. This calculator uses the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa.

The smaller the part, the faster the divisional Ascendant moves. The column on the right shows roughly how long it takes the Ascendant of each chart to change sign. The figures are averages, because the real speed varies with your latitude and the sign that is rising.

If you are not sure of your birth time, start with D1 and D9, which are the most forgiving, and ask an astrologer about rectification before you rely on D40, D45 or D60.
