D7 Saptamsa Chart Calculator

Saptamsa, the D7 chart, is the chart of children. People mostly come to it with a specific question about having children, the timing of a pregnancy, or the relationship with a child, and it is read together with the fifth house of the birth chart.

Because each sign is cut into seven parts, the Ascendant of D7 changes every seventeen minutes or so. A birth time that is off by a quarter of an hour can send you to a different D7 sign, so the chart is only as good as the birth time behind it. Use a recorded time, not an estimate.

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

A sign is divided into seven parts of about 4°17′. In an odd sign the count starts from the sign itself. In an even sign it starts from the 7th sign from it.

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 D7 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 children. 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 children.

• Never present D7 as a prediction about fertility or a medical judgement. Fertility is a health matter for doctors.
• The chart is sensitive to the birth minute. If your time is rounded to the nearest half hour, treat D7 as a rough guide at best.
• 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.

D7 चार्ट को सप्तांश कहते हैं और इसे संतान के लिए देखा जाता है। इसमें हर राशि के सात भाग होते हैं। विषम राशि में गिनती उसी राशि से और सम राशि में सातवीं राशि से शुरू होती है। इसे D1 के पंचम भाव और गुरु के साथ पढ़ें। सही जन्म समय बहुत जरूरी है, क्योंकि इसका लग्न लगभग हर 17 मिनट में बदल सकता 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।
