    Meaning

    What is the D4 Chaturthamsa chart?

    The D4 chart, Chaturthamsa, is read for property, land, the home you live in and the sense of settled fortune that goes with owning something solid. In older books it is also called Turyamsa, since it leans on the fourth house.

    The four parts of every sign send a planet to a kendra from its own sign, which means planets tend to be spread over angular positions in D4. Astrologers use this chart when a person asks about buying a house, inheriting land or finding peace at home, and they usually read it with the fourth house and its lord in D1.

    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 D4 calculator works

    Each sign is divided into four parts of 7°30′. The four parts go to the sign itself and then to the 4th, 7th and 10th signs from it, which are the four angles from that sign.

    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.

    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 D4 chart the signs and houses come from the divisional positions, so they will rarely match your D1.

    The 12 houses in a D4 chart

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

    Reading the chart

    What to look at in your D4 chart

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

    CheckWhy it matters
    Fourth house and fourth lordThe fourth house is home, mother and property in D1. Find where its lord sits in D4, and whether it is strong there.
    Mars and SaturnMars is the significator of land and Saturn of long-held assets. Note how each is placed.
    MoonThe Moon rules the fourth house naturally and stands for emotional comfort at home.
    Planets in the D4 AscendantBenefics in the first or fourth of D4 are read as supportive for property. Strong malefics there are read as friction.

    Before you rely on it

    Mistakes to avoid with the D4 chart

    • Do not treat D4 as a go or no-go signal on a property purchase. Use it as one input, and check the dasha, your finances and the legal facts as well.
    • Some texts give an alternative D4 scheme, so a mismatch with another site usually means a different rule rather than a bug.
    • 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.

    D4 चार्ट क्या है?

    D4 चार्ट को चतुर्थांश कहते हैं और इसे संपत्ति, भूमि, घर और स्थायी सुख के लिए देखा जाता है। हर राशि के चार भाग होते हैं, जो उसी राशि और उससे चौथी, सातवीं और दसवीं राशि को जाते हैं। इसे D1 के चतुर्थ भाव और उसके स्वामी के साथ मिलाकर 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।

    Questions

    D4 chart FAQs

    What is the D4 chart?
    Chaturthamsa is a Vedic divisional chart traditionally used to examine property and home. Read it alongside the main D1 birth chart.
    How do I calculate my D4 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.
    What is the D4 chart used for?
    It is traditionally used for property, land, vehicles of long use and the happiness of the home, always alongside the fourth house of the birth chart.
    Is D4 the same as the fourth house?
    No. The fourth house belongs to D1. The D4 chart is a separate chart that refines it by splitting each sign into four parts.
    Can D4 tell me when I will buy a house?
    Not by itself. Timing in Vedic astrology comes from the dasha and transits. D4 describes the potential, and the dasha describes the period.
    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 D4 chart calculator free?
    Yes. Enter your birth date, exact time and place, pick the town from the suggestions, and the D4 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 D4 chart?
    The divisional Ascendant can change sign about every 30 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 D4 chart before the D1 chart?
    No. Start with the D1 birth chart, then use D4 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.
