Meaning
What is the D45 Akshavedamsa chart?
Akshavedamsa, the D45 chart, is the paternal counterpart of D40. It is read for the father’s line, for character and conduct, and for the overall moral tone of a person’s life.
It is a delicate chart. Forty-five parts per sign makes each one only 40 minutes of arc, and the Ascendant can switch sign in under three minutes. Many astrologers consult it only after the birth time has been corrected by rectification.
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 D45 calculator works
Each sign is divided into forty-five parts of 40′. For a movable sign the count starts at Aries, for a fixed sign at Leo and for a dual sign at Sagittarius.
| Setting | What this calculator uses |
|---|---|
| Chart | D45 Akshavedamsa, the Akshavedamsa chart |
| Size of each part | 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 D45 chart the signs and houses come from the divisional positions, so they will rarely match your D1.
Bhavas
The 12 houses in a D45 chart
The houses keep their usual meanings. What changes is which planets fall in them, and that is what makes the chart specific to paternal lineage. 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 D45 chart
Once the chart is drawn, work through it in this order. Each point below is a place astrologers look first for paternal lineage.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sun and ninth house | The Sun and the ninth house stand for the father and his family. |
| D45 Ascendant lord | This gives the general character of the chart. |
| Saturn and Jupiter | Saturn for discipline, Jupiter for principle. Their placement is read for conduct. |
| Planets in own or exalted signs | These are read as areas of integrity and strength. |
Before you rely on it
Mistakes to avoid with the D45 chart
- Do not use the chart to judge your own character. It is a tendency chart and does not replace the lessons of living.
- Rectify the birth time before relying on it, and confirm AM and PM.
- 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.
हिंदी में
D45 चार्ट क्या है?
D45 चार्ट को अक्षवेदांश कहते हैं और इसे पितृ पक्ष, चरित्र और आचरण के लिए देखा जाता है। हर राशि के पैंतालीस भाग होते हैं। चर राशि में गिनती मेष से, स्थिर में सिंह से और द्विस्वभाव में धनु से शुरू होती है। इसमें जन्म समय की छोटी सी गलती भी लग्न बदल देती 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।
