 BHAVA SRIPATI CHART
How is a Bhava Chart Calculated?

To calculate bhava chart, we need two values – Ascendant and

Mid heaven. Ascendant is the sign rising in the eastern direction
at the time of casting of chart. The longitudinal position of
Ascendant is the mid point of the first house. Mid heaven is the
sign directly above the head. It is the midpoint of tenth house.
The steps to calculate mid points of other houses are:

total difference = Ascendant – Midheaven

difference for one house = total difference divided by three

mid point of 11th house = midheaven + difference for one house

mid point of 12th house = mid point of 11th house + difference

for one house.

Similarly, calculate the mid points of all the other houses to get
the bhava chart. The starting point of a bhava is the mean of
its and the previous house’s midpoint. Naturally, the end point
of a house is the beginning of the next one.
How is Rashi Chart different from Chalit Chart?

1. Mathematically: Rashi chart assumes that all the houses are

equal – 30 degrees in length. While calculating the positions of
ascendant and other planets, we just take the modulo of the
degree by 30 and assign the houses. In bhava chart, the mid
point of a house, i.e. the bhava madhya, is given a lot of
importance. The influence of a house is calculated based on this
bhava madhya. e.g. if Ascendant value is 2 degrees, then the
influence of the first house extends from approximately 350
degrees to about 17 degrees and not Zero to 30 degrees as
would be the case with a rashi chart. The upper and the lower
limits of influence of a house are called Bhava Sandhis. Planets
are placed in this newly computed Bhava chart – and we get
something called Chalit chart. The rule is simple, if a planet’s
longitude is more than the starting sandhi and less than the end
sandhi, it is said to fall in that bhava.

2. For interpretations: The combinations that are used for

interpretations are – rashi chart along with divisional charts on
one hand and bhava charts on other hand. We never mix
divisional charts with bhava chart. Planets influence a chart
based on the bhava they are situated in. Rule of thumb – if an
interpretation system works only with planets and houses and
not signs, you can safely assume that it is working with the
chalit chart and not the rashi chart. However, the aspects of
planets on other planets are always studied from rashi chart.
Similarly exaltation/debilitation of planets is again studied only
from the rashi chart. Manglik Dosha is studied partly from
bhava chart (e.g. statements like Mars causes dosha if situated
in 7th house) and partly from rashi chart. When looking for
exceptions (e.g. Mars in Simha, i.e. in the sign of a friend does
not cause dosha), we should see the rashi chart. Normally,
bhava chart and rashi chart would agree with each other.
However, if the Ascendant or planets’ degree is closer to
multiple of 30, there may be differences between the charts.
It is always interesting to see if a planet has moved from one
house to another from rashi chart to chalit chart. This explains
a lot of times why a yoga that is so obvious in rashi chart does
not fructify in real life.
