D3 Drekkana Chart Calculator

Drekkana, the D3 chart, is the chart of brothers, sisters and your own nerve. It splits each sign into three equal parts and sends each part to a sign in the same element, which gives the chart a family feel: fire stays with fire, water with water.

It is also where astrologers look at initiative, effort and the willingness to take a risk. The third house of the birth chart covers the same ground, and D3 is the second opinion on it. If D1 shows a strong third house and D3 agrees, the reading gains confidence. If the two disagree, that disagreement is itself worth noting.

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 three parts of 10°. The first part keeps the sign itself, the second takes the 5th sign from it, and the third takes the 9th sign from it. So a planet at 14° Aries, which is in the second part, lands in Leo in D3.

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 D3 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 siblings and courage. 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 siblings and courage.

• Do not use D3 alone to judge whether you will have siblings. It describes the relationship and your own drive, and the birth chart carries most of the weight.
• Drekkana has regional variants, including the Jagannatha and Somanatha schemes. The rule above is the common Parashari 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.

D3 चार्ट को द्रेष्काण कहते हैं और इसे भाई-बहन, साहस और पराक्रम के लिए देखा जाता है। हर राशि के तीन भाग होते हैं: पहला उसी राशि का, दूसरा उससे पांचवीं राशि का और तीसरा नौवीं राशि का। मंगल की स्थिति यहां सबसे महत्वपूर्ण मानी जाती है। इसे D1 के तीसरे और ग्यारहवें भाव के साथ पढ़ें।

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।
