    Meaning

    What is the D27 Bhamsa chart?

    Bhamsa, the D27 chart, goes by the name Nakshatramsa as well. It is the chart of strengths and weaknesses, and it gets its twenty-seven parts from the twenty-seven nakshatras, so the whole chart is built on the lunar mansions.

    Astrologers use it to see where a person is naturally resilient and where they are easily shaken. It is also read for the strength of the planets in a broad sense. Parashara describes it as a chart of general strength, which is why it comes up whenever a reading needs a final check on a planet.

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

    Method

    How this D27 calculator works

    Each sign is divided into twenty-seven parts of 1°06′40″, one for each nakshatra. For fire signs the count starts at Aries, for earth signs at Cancer, for air signs at Libra and for water signs at Capricorn.

    A sample divisional chart

    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 D27 chart the signs and houses come from the divisional positions, so they will rarely match your D1.

    The 12 houses in a D27 chart

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

    Reading the chart

    What to look at in your D27 chart

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

    CheckWhy it matters
    D27 Ascendant and its lordThese describe your underlying constitution and stamina.
    The MoonThe Moon rules the nakshatras. Its sign and house in D27 are read for emotional resilience.
    Planets in own or exalted signsThese are read as areas of real strength.
    Planets in debilitated signsThese point to areas that take more effort, and not to areas of failure.

    Before you rely on it

    Mistakes to avoid with the D27 chart

    • Do not use D27 to label yourself weak. A weakness in the chart is a place to work on, and tradition is clear that effort changes outcomes.
    • Some astrologers read D27 sparingly. Give it a supporting role and do not build a reading on it.
    • 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.

    Accuracy

    How birth time affects every divisional chart

    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.

    D27 चार्ट क्या है?

    D27 चार्ट को भांश या नक्षत्रांश कहते हैं और इसे व्यक्ति की ताकत और कमजोरियों के लिए देखा जाता है। हर राशि के सत्ताईस भाग होते हैं, जो सत्ताईस नक्षत्रों से जुड़े हैं। अग्नि राशि में गिनती मेष से, पृथ्वी में कर्क से, वायु में तुला से और जल में मकर से शुरू होती है।

    चार्ट बनाने के लिए जन्म की तारीख, सही समय और जन्म स्थान भरें। ज्योतिष एक पारंपरिक विद्या है, इसे चिकित्सा, कानूनी या वित्तीय निर्णयों का आधार न बनाएं।

    Questions

    D27 chart FAQs

    Bhamsa is a Vedic divisional chart traditionally used to examine strengths and weaknesses. Read it alongside the main D1 birth chart.
    How do I calculate my D27 chart?
    Enter your birth date, exact time and birthplace. Select the birthplace from suggestions so its coordinates and country code are included.
    Why does this chart differ from D1?
    A divisional chart assigns planets to signs according to subdivisions of their natal positions. Its Ascendant, houses and degrees can differ from D1.
    Why does the D27 chart have twenty-seven parts?
    There are twenty-seven nakshatras, and each sign is split so that every part corresponds to one nakshatra.
    What does D27 show?
    It is traditionally read for strengths, weaknesses and the general strength of planets.
    Is Bhamsa the same as Nakshatramsa?
    Yes. Bhamsa, Nakshatramsa and the D27 chart are three names for the same division.
    What do the numbers in the chart mean?
    The large number in each house is the sign that occupies it, from 1 for Aries through 12 for Pisces. The first house is the top-centre diamond, and its number is the divisional Ascendant.
    Is this D27 chart calculator free?
    Yes. Enter your birth date, exact time and place, pick the town from the suggestions, and the D27 chart appears on the next page. Your details are saved to GrahaDisha user data when you submit, so avoid sharing the result link publicly.
    How exact does my birth time need to be for the D27 chart?
    The divisional Ascendant can change sign about every 4 min. If you only know your time to the nearest hour, treat the Ascendant and houses as a guide and look at planets by sign first.
    Should I read the D27 chart before the D1 chart?
    No. Start with the D1 birth chart, then use D27 to look closer at one area of life. A divisional chart is a magnifying glass over the main chart.
    How many divisional charts are there?
    Sixteen in the classical set called Shodasavarga, from D1 to D60. All of them are linked at the bottom of this page, and you can open any of them with your birth details already filled in.
