Shri Sheshadri Iyer. In that book he has proposed some fundamental rules
for judging divisional charts. I have not used all these rules and not tested all
of them. In fact, I am no expert in using Divisional Charts. I personally prefer
mixing Krishnamurthy Paddhati with classical astrology for judgment.
Nevertheless, I tried quite a few of them and found to be very useful in
predictive astrology. Here are those rules -
1. The most important and necessary condition for a planet to give beneficial
effect of the D chart is its relative good position from the lagna of that D-
chart irrespective of other factors such as being in inimical or debilitated sign
or aspect or conjunction with other planets. Thus under this theory primary
factor is its position from D-lagna. If the planet be in places other than 3,6,8,
and 12 (Dusthanas) it gives good results, its magnitude depending on other
factors. But if they are in Dustnanas they always give bad results whatever
their other results be.
But there are some exceptions to this:
a)Kuja even in 6th in all D charts does good for he aspects lagna from 6th.
b)Budha even in 8th in D-4 only gives good. Note the general theory of
Budha being in 8 as being exceptionally lucky. It is only here and not in other
D charts.
c)Shani though in 8 does not kill, is the general say. This holds good only in
D-8 chart when Shani is in D-8 lagna and not elsewhere. Thus the above 3
exceptions have to be remembered.
2. Consider both the Rasi chart (D-1) and the divisional chart to weigh an
effect. As stated above, position in D chart surpasses that in D-1 chart. Even
though a planet is in bad bhava in D-1, he gives good effects of a D chart if
he is there in good position from D lagna. Likewise however powerfully and
favorably a planet is situated in D-1, if he is in Dustana in the D chart he
gives bad effects of that D-chart.
3. Having concluded the good or bad effects as per Rules 1 and 2 above the
magnitude of the effect has to be judged from both D-1 and D-charts as
follows:
a.If the planet has any kind of Shadbalas [Temporal (Kalaja), Motional
(chesta), exaltation (uccha), Directional (Digbala), Declinatory (Ayanabala),
or positional (Sthanabala)] in D-chart and favourably situated from its Lagna
it gives good effects of a higher magnitude, the more the quantum the more
the simultaneous varied strengths. If in addition to this the planet is also
powerfully situated in D-1 also excellent results of a superior degree happen.
b.Even a mere ordinary good position in D-chart coupled with strong position
in D-1 (though in Dustana in D-1) gives effects of a higher order.
c.But, however strongly and favourably situated in D-1 if the planet be in
Dustana in D-chart he does bad to that chart portfolio even if he is exalted or
in his own house in that D-chart. All these establish the necessity of a planet
being in good positions from the D-lagna to give the good results.
6. Of all the powerful positions the most important are (a) Exaltation (b)
Vargottama (c) Own house (d) Digbala. All these have to be applied to all the
D-Charts. In this connection remember that a planet situated in the same
sign both in D-1 and any other D-Chart must be construed as being in
Vargottama with respect to that D chart and the effects of that D-chart read
thereon. Unfortunately this aspect is being judged only by Navamsha
position. (D-9) when you apply this theory you get convinced.
8. See if any of the general Yogas exist in the D-chart. If so gauge the
magnitude by their strengths as stated above.
10. The birth Yogi and Avayogi have to be noted here. If the birth Yogi is in a
good place in D-chart, he gives yoga to that effect but in a bad position he is
lost. Similarly, birth Avayogi in a favorable position in D-chart will create
hindrances, anxieties and trouble.
11. Lordship of Bhavas are to be considered only in D-1 and not in D-charts
except lord of D-lagna.
12. A debilitated planet in D-Chart though in good position gives bad, if there
be no Neecha Bhanga.
14. 3rd and 8th places are deathlike places. A planet in 8th or 3rd in D-chart
causes death to that effect. In D-9 to wife, in D-10 to profession. Death may
be construed as also severance. A planet in 3rd in D-10 causes retirement
from service. Please note the exception of Shani in 1st house in D-8 and
Budha in 8th in D-4.
16. A planet in 6th house in D-chart in a powerful rasi gives good first and
bad later on.
17. It is said in general astrology that the more the number of planets
aspecting Lagna, the more powerful the native becomes. The same theory
applies to D-chart also.
18. Benefics on either side of Lagna is said to confer Yoga. True even in the
case of D-chart. But in such a situation if any malefic joins the benefic, the
Yoga gets marred. Similarly, malefics on either side though spoils first, gets
better if any benefics joins them. What is said of Lagna holds good with
respect to the 7th house too. Here one thing has to be noted. In the case of
malefics if they are Birth Yogi or in their own house in D-chart they give
modified good effects.
19. Just as the 2nd and the 12th places from the lagna were dealt in point
18, if planets are placed equidistantly from lagna such as 2-12, 3-11, 4-10,
5-9, 6-8, 1-7 they cause effects as stated above depending on their natural
benefic or malefic character. This is a special mention of Jaimini known as
Sankhya Yoga.
19. In D-12 if moon is with Kethu invariably the native's mother becomes a
widow.
24. Uccha with Neecha or one with his enemy Not good.
25. Of the 2 planets on either side of lagna or equidistant from D-lagna if one
is benefic and the other malefic, then bad results are felt only during the
malefic period.
26. A planet, though in the 8th house in D-chart, does not harm if aspected
by a powerful Guru.
28. A karaka in bad position in D-8 kills the relative connoted by the karaka.
Sun in 8th house in D-8 kills father, Moon - Mother, Shukra -Wife and so on.
29. Any yoga in a D-chart is no doubt operative through out life but is
particularly felt during their periods.
32. Parivartana Yoga (mutual exchange of grahas) existing in D-chart has its
due effect.
33. What are all said of the planets in D-charts will be felt during their
periods.
34. If the lord of the D-lagna is Birth Yogi or Duplicate Yogi he gives Yoga
effects even in ordinary position.
35. If the lord of the D-lagna is in Dusthana the result will be bad on or after
its Dasha.
