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.
| Setting | What this calculator uses |
|---|---|
| Chart | D27 Bhamsa, the Bhamsa chart |
| Size of each part | 1°06′40″ |
| Zodiac | Sidereal, with the Lahiri ayanamsa |
| Houses | Whole-sign: the divisional Ascendant sign is the whole first house |
| Rahu and Ketu | True lunar node |
| Chart style | North Indian |
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.
Example
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.
Bhavas
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.
| House | Name | Traditional themes |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Lagna | Personality, physical appearance, confidence, life purpose. |
| 2nd | Dhan Bhava | Wealth, family, savings, speech. |
| 3rd | Sahaj Bhava | Courage, siblings, communication, short travel. |
| 4th | Sukha Bhava | Home, mother, property, emotional peace. |
| 5th | Putra Bhava | Education, creativity, romance, children. |
| 6th | Shatru Bhava | Health, debts, competition, discipline. |
| 7th | Yuvati Bhava | Marriage, partnerships, spouse. |
| 8th | Aayu Bhava | Transformation, longevity, hidden matters. |
| 9th | Bhagya Bhava | Luck, higher education, father, dharma. |
| 10th | Karma Bhava | Career, status, authority, public image. |
| 11th | Labha Bhava | Income, gains, social circle, ambitions. |
| 12th | Vyaya Bhava | Spirituality, expenses, foreign settlement. |
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.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| D27 Ascendant and its lord | These describe your underlying constitution and stamina. |
| The Moon | The Moon rules the nakshatras. Its sign and house in D27 are read for emotional resilience. |
| Planets in own or exalted signs | These are read as areas of real strength. |
| Planets in debilitated signs | These 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.
| Chart | Name | Size of each part | Ascendant can change in |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Rasi | 30° | about 2 hours |
| D2 | Hora | 15° | 60 min |
| D3 | Drekkana | 10° | 40 min |
| D4 | Chaturthamsa | 7°30′ | 30 min |
| D7 | Saptamsa | 4°17′09″ | 17 min |
| D9 | Navamsa | 3°20′ | 13 min |
| D10 | Dasamsa | 3° | 12 min |
| D12 | Dwadasamsa | 2°30′ | 10 min |
| D16 | Shodasamsa | 1°52′30″ | 7 min |
| D20 | Vimsamsa | 1°30′ | 6 min |
| D24 | Chaturvimsamsa | 1°15′ | 5 min |
| D27 | Bhamsa | 1°06′40″ | 4 min |
| D30 | Trimsamsa | Unequal: 5°, 5°, 8°, 7°, 5° | 20 min |
| D40 | Khavedamsa | 45′ | 3 min |
| D45 | Akshavedamsa | 40′ | 3 min |
| D60 | Shashtiamsa | 30′ | 2 min |
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.
