Question 1

What is the Navamsa chart in Vedic astrology?

Accepted Answer

The Navamsa (D9) chart is the most important divisional chart after the birth chart (D1). It divides each zodiac sign into nine equal parts of 3°20' each. The Navamsa reveals the deeper soul-level qualities of planets, the true nature of your marriage and partnerships, and acts as a strength indicator for planetary dignity. Astrologers consider a planet truly strong only when it is well-placed in both the Rasi and Navamsa charts.

Question 2

How does the Navamsa chart affect marriage predictions?

Accepted Answer

The Navamsa chart is often called the "chart of marriage" because it provides the most detailed view of married life. The 7th house of the Navamsa, its lord, and planets placed there describe your spouse's nature, the quality of your partnership, and timing of marriage. Venus placement in the Navamsa for men and Jupiter for women are especially significant indicators of marital happiness.

Question 3

What is Vargottama in the Navamsa chart?

Accepted Answer

A planet is called Vargottama when it occupies the same zodiac sign in both the Rasi (D1) and Navamsa (D9) charts. Vargottama planets are considered exceptionally strong and auspicious — they deliver their results with consistency and reliability. A Vargottama Ascendant is particularly powerful, giving the person strong character and a clear sense of purpose throughout life.

Question 4

Can I read the Navamsa chart like the Rasi chart?

Accepted Answer

While the Navamsa shares the 12-house structure, it is not read identically to the Rasi chart. The Navamsa primarily supplements the birth chart — confirming or modifying the strength and nature of planets. It is best used to assess planetary dignity (exalted, debilitated, or friendly signs), evaluate marriage potential, and understand the hidden qualities behind what the Rasi chart shows on the surface.
