D9 Navamsa Chart Calculator

Navamsa is the ninth divisional chart of Vedic astrology. Each 30-degree zodiac sign is divided into nine sections, and planets are placed in a new chart using their exact degrees. Astrologers read the D9 with the main D1 chart when considering marriage, dharma and planetary strength.

The D9 Ascendant and its houses depend on the birth time. Use an accurate time and choose the birthplace from the form’s suggestions.

This illustration uses invented D9 positions to show how the North Indian chart is read.

The first house is the top diamond. Its number identifies the D9 Ascendant sign. Each planet label shows its short name and degree within its D9 sign.

The form sends your date, exact time, coordinates and birthplace country code to the same astrology API as the Kundli page. The calculator reads the API’s D9 Ascendant, D9 sign, D9 house and D9 degree fields, then draws the same chart design used in Kundli.

Planets are positioned by the D9 fields supplied by the API; the drawing does not reuse D1 houses or degrees.

Navamsa is the chart astrologers reach for after D1. It is read for marriage and the spouse, and also for dharma and the real strength of a planet. A planet that looks strong in the birth chart but sits poorly in D9 is usually treated with caution, and the reverse holds too.

If a planet occupies the same sign in D1 and D9, it is called vargottama and is read as notably strong. You can spot this in the planet tables on this site. Venus and Jupiter in D9 deserve a look in any marriage question, together with the seventh house and its lord.

Each sign is divided into nine parts of 3°20′. For fire signs the count starts at Aries, for earth signs at Capricorn, for air signs at Libra and for water signs at Cancer.

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

• D9 is not a second horoscope. It is a test of D1. Do not read it in isolation.
• A weak D9 placement does not cancel a strong D1 placement, and the reverse is also true. Both charts get weighed.
• 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.

D9 चार्ट को नवांश कहते हैं। इसे विवाह, जीवनसाथी, धर्म और ग्रहों के असली बल के लिए देखा जाता है। हर राशि के नौ भाग होते हैं। जो ग्रह D1 और D9 दोनों में एक ही राशि में हो, वह वर्गोत्तम कहलाता है और बलवान माना जाता है। इसे हमेशा D1 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।

Start with the D1 chart for the birth chart’s overall pattern. Then compare the D9 Ascendant and planets with D1. A planet in the same sign in both charts is called vargottama. No single D9 placement is a complete interpretation by itself.
