How do I read D60 chart?

D-60 Chart is one of the most importat chart in astrology as it is highly sensitive, Many great
Astrologers have used D-60 for Birth time Rectification also.

Before we Move further lets understand meaning of D-60, it is 1/60th division of a sign; each
Sashtiamsa is of 0degrees, 30’ minutes. Each Shashtiamsa is assigned to a deity. To create a
D60 chart, see the longitude of a planet in a sign, consider only the degree, multiply it by 2.
Divide the resultant number by 12 and add 1 to the remainder. It will denote the sign where
the planet will be placed in the D60 chart. The Lord of the resultant sign is the planet’s
Sashtiamsa dispositor. Here is a table on Sashtiamsa, deities, and degrees,

Stories of different Deities and prediction using these Deities (D-60 Devatas)

Rakshasa: After the Satya Yuga, it was said that Rakshasas were born from Brahma's breath
while he was sleeping. They were so hungry for blood that they began devouring Brahma
himself as soon as they were formed. "Rakshama!" (Sanskrit meaning "Protect me!") cried
out Brahma, and Vishnu rushed to his relief, expelling all Rakshasas from the Earth.
Rakshasas are constantly indulgent, lustful, greedy, and engrossed in earthly pleasures. They
are unforgiving.
The Rakshasas are the resource scavengers. The person will exploit the planet's significations
in this Shastiamsa. If the seventh lord is in Rakshasamsa, the person is exploited by his or her
spouse.

If Venus, the Karaka of women, is in Rakshasamsa, the person is a woman exploiter. The
bhava lords, according to Phaldeepika, represent the events that occur in your life, while the
Karaka represents your actions concerning the planet's meanings. This is why Venus in the
11th house may bring you wealth via relationships and women, while the 7th lord in the 11th
house may bring you wealth through marriage and partnerships.

Ghora: Ghora means terrible. Just as Aghoris do not fit the norms of society, Ghora also
does not fit the standards of society. Their actions are sometimes seen as incompatible with
orthodox Hinduism. The rural people respect many Aghori gurus, as they are believed to have
attained healing powers through their intense ascetic practices, renunciation and prescribed
rituals. So any planet in this Shastiamsa indicates that the planet will behave in a manner that
is not according to the standards of the society.
Planetary implications in Ghora will present themselves in such a way that they will be
incredibly tough to handle or manage in life. Venus in Ghora Shastiamsa suggests that a
relationship will enter your life and become a problem for you, which you will not be able to
escape easily. Jupiter in Ghora Shastiamsa denotes a backbiter who will go to a teacher or
Guru even if he doesn't like him to gather knowledge and then will betray his Guru after
integrating knowledge. When a planet is in Ghora Shastiamsa, a person should avoid going to
extremes with its significations.

Deva: Devas and asuras are Vedic equivalents of Greek mythology's Olympian gods and
titans. Both are powerful, but in Hindu mythology, the devas symbolise the force of light,
while the asuras symbolise the force of darkness.

The Devas and their conflict with the Asuras are mentioned in the early Upanishads. In Book
4 of the Kaushitaki Upanishad, for example, it is said that "When Indra didn't know his own
Atman, he was weaker than the Asuras. With self-knowledge, Indra became unfettered,
sovereign, and victorious over the Asuras"; similarly, according to the Kaushitaki Upanishad,
"The individual who understands his inner self gets independence, sovereignty, and is
untouched by all evil."

Devas are also enjoying the resources but they are not the exploiters of resources. They are
not cruel and merciless like the Rakshasas. A planet in Deva Shastiamsa indicates that the
significations of the planet are available in abundance in your life.

Even after many good indications associated with it a planet in Deva Shastiamsa is also
capable of misguiding you as to when things are in abundance we often tend to make the
wrong choice and may not recognize the real worth of that thing. For example, the 7th lord in
Deva Shastiamsa means that for marriage a person will have a large number of choices and as
a result making the right decision will be difficult and can also indicate extra-marital affairs.
The planet in the Deva Shatiamsa has a lot of potential in it as it is capable to take the person
to great heights. The placement of the 10th lord in Deva Shastiamsa indicates that the person
has a lot of potential related to the signification of that planet but it will be difficult for him to
make use of those skills or potential in his profession, so he should do business to prosper in
life. Such a person can also be in the manufacturing or export sector.
Kubera: Kubera is the chief of evil spirits or spirits of darkness, and the son of Vaishravana,
according to the Atharvaveda, where he first appears, and the Shatapatha Brahmana. He is
referred to as the Lord of Thieves and Criminals by the Shatapatha Brahmana. He becomes a
respectable Loka-pala ("world guardian") and supporter of traders in the Manusmriti.

Once upon a time, Ravana deposed Kubera from his position as king of Lanka. Kubera, upset
and heartbroken, began to worship Shiva. Shiva and his wife, Parvati, appeared to Kubera.
Kubera had heard of Shiva's splendorous form and had prepared himself for the significantly
bigger God's presence, but when Parvati appeared, he was so astonished by the elegance and
splendour that his right eye blinked automatically. Parvati, enraged by his lust, pulled out the
eye and vanished in an instant.

Kubera is similar to Venus as he is also one-eyed. When a planet is in Kubera Shastiamsa, it

desires to fulfil its significance, but just when it is about to do so, it makes major mistakes,
like the Kubera did. A person having the second lord in Kubera Shastiamsa should be very
careful while investing the money as the person may do the biggest financial blunder of his
life. If there is a planet in Kubera Shastiamsa, it experiences injustice, much as Kubera did
when Ravan expelled him from his throne and took his heavenly Chariot. The hard work of
the person having planets in Kubera Shastiamsa may be enjoyed by someone else. The person
can become a high achiever in one of the significations of that planet placed in Kubera
Shastiamsa.

Yaksha: Yaksha is a class of typically kind but occasionally troublesome, fickle, sexually
voracious, or even deadly deities who are the keepers of wealth concealed in the ground and
in the roots of trees, according to Indian mythology. They are strong shape-shifters and
magicians. Kubera, the ruler of the mythological Himalayan nation Alaka, is the most
powerful of the yakshas.
Yakshas also possess a beautiful voice and can also indicate professions associated with
singing if the 10th lord is placed in Yaksha Shastiamsa. Similarly, it can also indicate
professions associated with oration such as TV anchors, Radio Jockey, Astrologers,
Counsellors, Motivational speakers. They can also be Accountants, Miners, Illusionists,
Chartered Accountants etc

A Planet in Yaksha Shastiamsa is capable of creating illusions before you and trap you. It can
also give false allegations. A person having a planet in Yaksha amsa has to go through a lot
of test and transformation in life. If these transformations can be handled with patience then
the planet starts to give very good results.

Kinnar: Soft-spoken Kinnars who are excellent in singing and performing, like the
Gandharvas, have been known for their distinctive and enchanting beauty since ancient times.
Kinnars have a fantastic ability to change their appearance.

Kinnars have a unique position in Hindu Tantra literature. A Kinnar with a half-human, half-
horse physique is mentioned in the Shatapatha Brahmana (7.5.2.32).
The Kinnars has been depicted as a human-faced bird in Buddhist literature. The
Garudamukhi, human-bodied, and Pashupad form of Kinnar is described in Mansar.

Some people do the sadhana of famous and Siddha Kinnars. Their sadhana is especially
beneficial for singing and beauty. The boon of Kinnar is obtained very quickly and easily.
Mainly there is a group of six Kinnars: 1. Manoharini kinnari, 2. Shubhag kinnari, 3. Vishal
Netra kinnari, 4. Surat Priya kinnari, 5. Sumukhi kinnari, 6. divakar mukhi kinnari.

As Kinnars are half human half animal the Narasimha avatar of Vishnu can be considered as
a Kinnar. Narasimha is the most fierce form of Lord Vishnu. According to Hinduism's
Puranic texts, Hiranyakashipu was an Asura and monarch of the Daityas. His name literally
means "clothed in gold" (hiranya "gold" kashipu "soft cushion"), and it is frequently taken as
a person who enjoys luxury and sensuous pleasures. The name was taken from a golden
throne known as 'Hiranyakashipu' that the asuras sat in or near during the Atiratra (Soma)
sacrifice, according to the Puranas.

According to mythology, Lord Brahma bestowed upon Hiranyakashipu a blessing that

rendered him nearly invincible. Narasimha, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, later killed him.
His situation demonstrates the absurdity of seeking control over others, as well as the strength
of the Lord's protection over totally dedicated devotees (in the case of his son Prahlad). After
killing Hiranyakashipu, lord Narasimha started licking Prahlad. Narasimha was a Rajashik
avatar of Vishnu and as a result, he got trapped in worldly enjoyments on the earth. Lord
Shiva then had to take an avatar to free him from the earth.

A planet in Kinnaramsa means that animals love you a lot and there is a lot of devotion and
dedication related to the significations of that planet. The results of planets in Kinnaramsa
may come after a lot of delays and you may have to wait for a long period of time. the
placement of the 10th lord in Kinnaramsa may indicate that you may be rewarded in your
profession after a long period of time but if you develop ego then the same planet can cause a
lot of trouble in the career.

Bhrast: It means corrupt. It also refers to a person falling from a high position in life as a
result of his own blunders. The person may have to settle for poor options in his life, which
he will find tough to do because he has come from a decent place in life. If the Ascendant
Lord is in Bhrastamsa, he may make decisions in his life that drag him down. The placement
of the fifth lord in Bhrastamsa may imply that the person's fifth lord significations, such as
children, etc., led him to fall in his life.
If Mercury is in Bhrstamsa, he may have originated from a good family but failed because of
his speech or intelligence. If Sun is in Bhrastamsa, he may have fallen as a result of his ego.
If Jupiter is in Bhrast Shastiamsa the judgement or decisions of life have caused the fall of the
person.

Kulagna: Kulagna denotes an unfortunate person who brings dishonour to his family. A
planet in this Shastiamsa may imply difficulties associated with the planet's significations.
When the fifth lord is in Kulagna Shastiamsa, the person's offspring may bring shame to the
family. His offspring may engage in behaviours that impair the person's reputation in society.

The Sun in Kulagna Shastiamsa may imply that humiliation may come to the family as a
result of enmity with the government, a politician, or a strong person in society. If Jupiter is
in Kulagna Shastiamsa, dishonour to the family may result from poor life decisions. If Rahu
is in Kulagna Shastiamsa, scandals, dishonesty, foreigners, or MNCs are the causes of
humiliation. If Ketu is in Kulagna, the humiliation may be caused by individuals of another
religion.

Garala: It means Venom. A planet in this Shastiamsa can make you suffer as a result of its
significations. That planet can cause misfortunes or unhappiness through its significations.
The deities, who have been weakened by the curse of the irritated sage Durvasa, summon the
Asuras to assist them in retrieving the nectar of immortality from the depths of the cosmic
ocean. Mount Mandara was torn down for use as a churning stick and established on the
ocean floor by Vishnu in his incarnation as the tortoise Kurma. The asuras held the snake
Vasuki's (half-human, half-cobra) head, which was used for the churning rope, while the gods
held his tail. When the poison from Vasuki's skull threatened to pollute the nectar, Lord Shiva
seized it and placed it around his throat, turning his throat blue in the process.

The placement of the tenth lord in Garalamsa may also indicate a career in Medicine,
Chemistry, Drugs, or Doctors who deal with various kinds of diseases. If the Ascendant lord
is in Garalamsa then it can indicate toxic ideas coming to the mind. The placement of the
Moon in Garalamsa can create anxiety and frustration. Mercury in Garala Shastiamsa can
indicate his speech may give pain to others.

Agni: Fire, as one of the five inert transient elements (Panchabhuta), together with ether
(Akash), water (Ap), air (Vayu), and earth (Prithvi), forms the objectively observed physical
reality (Prakriti). Agni, along with Indra and Soma, is an important and frequently invoked
deity in Vedic literature. Agni is seen as the mouth of gods and goddesses and the channel of
offering in an homa (votive ritual). Agni is predominantly associated with fire as a deity in
early Vedic literature, embodying the primal qualities of consumption, transformation, and
transmission. The name Agni has numerous meanings, including a fire in the stomach,
cooking fire in the household, sacrifice fire in Vedic rituals, cremation fire, rebirth fire, fire in
the energy saps hidden inside plants, atmospheric fire in lightning, and heavenly fire in the
sun.
Fire is a natural leader. A planet in Agni Shastiamsa may bestow leadership qualities to a
person. The placement of Venus in Agniamsa is capable of increasing the sexual fire within a
person. The seventh lord in Agni Shastiamsa can give multiple relationships due to the
increase in energy. Agni also became a symbol for eternal principle in man in the Upanishads
and post-Vedic writings, as well as any force or wisdom that consumes and removes a state
of darkness, transforming and procreating an illuminated condition of living. Because Agni is
associated with longevity, placing the Lagna lord, 3rd lord, 8th lord, or 9th lord in Agni
Shastiamsa can help some people live a long life. Agni is also known as Vahni. So a planet
in Vahni Shastiamsa can also mean the same.

Maya: Maya is the tremendous force that generates the cosmic illusion that the observable
reality is actual, according to the Advaita Vedanta branch of Hindu philosophy. Maya is also
a Hindu deity, Lakshmi's attribute, as well as the name of a form of Lakshmi, who is the
goddess of "riches, prosperity, and love." Maya is also a word that means "wealth" or
"treasure." There are several cases of hidden money being guarded by supernatural entities,
both apparent and unseen. The Upanishads depict the creation and the physical reality as an
interaction between Purusha and Prakriti. The former shows itself to be Atman (The Soul, the
Self), the latter to be Maya. The Upanishads refer to Atman's knowledge as Vidya and Maya's
knowledge as Avidya.

Maya is mentioned in the Upanishads in a

number of places. The verses 4.9 to 4.10 of the Svetasvatara Upanishad are the earliest clear
and specific occurrences of the concept that Brahman (Supreme Soul) is the concealed truth,
nature is magic, Brahman is the magician, human beings are fascinated only with magic and
therefore produce enslavement to deceptions and delusional thoughts, and for freedom and
liberation, one should pursue real insights and appropriate wisdom of the principles behind
the illusions and delusions.
