Each Varga chart contains some secret and hidden meaning of the facets of life When Lagna or planets are in FIXED sign, the counting will be from the 9th house from where
3 Odd Even <--- This is the Zodiac sign of the planet being analysed When Lagna or planets are in EVEN numbered sign, the counting will be from the 7th house from where the lagna or planet is placed
they are associated with the lagna or planet is placed

The rules of constructing the Saptamsa chart is as follows: When Lagna or planets are in DUAL sign, the counting will be from the 5th house from where
4 Birth Charts and Varga Charts are complimentary to each other Sun Moon 1. ALWAYS START with the Lagna in birth chart the lagna or planet is placed
2. Check the House sign for ODD/EVEN
3. Accordingly determine which house counting will start from

capable of giving good results in its main and sub periods 1. ALWAYS START with the Lagna in birth chart
2. Check the House sign for FIXED/MOVABLE/DUAL
The basic concept is that planets AT certain degrees or divisions become highly 3. Accordingly determine which house counting will start from

Calculating Yogini Dasha

1 Yogini dasha is nakshatra based dasha system and is based on the longitude of the Moon at birth
2 Mostly used in the himalayan areas to very good effect
3 It is a very good tool for prediction and has a short life span of 36 years
It should be used with the Vimshottari dasha system and intepretation should be based from Lagna,
4 Using the formula given on the left, with N=8:
Moon and relevant significator
5 In Yogini Dasha, some degree of error in the Mo is tolerable, provided the ASC is correct
6 When used with divisional charts - the result is very good = (8 + 3) / 8
= Q=1 and R=3
Formula : We ignore the quotient and focus on the remainder
This numer 3 results in telling us that current MD of
(N + 3) / 8. The N here stands for the Nakshatra number
Formula:
Please Note
N stands for the Nakshatra no as determined by the longitude of the Moon at time of birth. (bet. 1 - {(Ending Point of Nakshatra - Current Lon

2 From the equation above and resultant value - we disregard the quotient and focus on the remainder From above formula we have:

Bhava Kundali Notes

Static birth charts have equal divisions between each house and rashi of 30 degrees each. However there is another system of horoscope with unequal charts
and divisions called the Bhava kundli

Birth Chart
Birth chart is a chart of the heavens with 12 zodiac signs and 12 houses of 30deg each. Thus, it is a chart of equal division of houses. The equal house system has
wide acceptability

Bhava Chart
is a chart of the heavens with unequal divisions of each house. It is based upon the relationship bet. the Ecliptic and the Celestial Equator. The variations in
unequal divisions is due to the latitude of birth (this problem gets accentuated at high longitudes)

Ascendent
is the point of intersection between Ecliptic and the Eastern point, at any given point in time. It is the first house of the horoscope

Xth Cusp
is the point of intersection bet. The Ecliptic and the Meridien of the place, at any given point in time. It’s the 10H of the horoscope. For the observer - it is the
plum line on the celestial sphere directly above the observer where the observers meridien intersects the Ecliptic
