षोडश-वर्ग-अध्यायःBPHS Ch. 7–8 — Special Lagnas and the 16 Divisional Charts

Ṣoḍaśa-varga-adhyāya — Pārāśara's framework of 16 divisional charts (vargas) — D1 (rāśi) through D60 (ṣaṣṭyaṃśa). Each varga is a microscopic focus on one life-domain.

viṣaya-sūcī · what this module covers

  • The 16 divisional charts (vargas): D1, D2, D3, D4, D7, D9, D10, D12, D16, D20, D24, D27, D30, D40, D45, D60
  • Which varga measures which domain (D9 = marriage/fortune; D10 = career)
  • Vargottama — same sign in D1 and D9, a major strength-condition
  • Pārāśara's special lagnas (Ch. 7) — bhāva-lagna, hora-lagna, ghaṭi-lagna

saṃkṣepa

Vargas (divisional charts) are one of Pārāśara's most distinctive contributions. The idea: take a single graha's position in the rāśi-cakra (D1), then divide that 30° sign into N parts (where N = 9 for navāṃśa, 10 for daśāṃśa, 12 for dvādaśāṃśa, etc.) and re-map. The graha's varga-position is its position in the N-times-zoomed-in chart. Each varga then 'reveals' the graha's behaviour in a specific life-domain.

BPHS Ch. 8 enumerates the 16 vargas with computational rules. Ch. 10 (Varga-viveka) tells you which varga to consult for which question — D9 for marriage and fortune, D10 for career, D7 for children, D12 for parents, D60 for past-life carry-over. Ch. 9 introduces the vargottama condition: when a graha occupies the same rāśi in D1 and D9, it gains substantial strength. This is one of the most-checked dignity conditions in interpretive practice.

03अभ्यासःPraxis

abhyāsa · apply it on the instruments

  1. 01 · Computation

    Open /varga for any chart. Compare D1 (rāśi) and D9 (navāṃśa). Identify any graha that sits in the same sign in both — that graha is vargottama.

  2. 02 · Computation

    Open /divisional-strength. The engine computes each graha's strength across multiple vargas. Note which graha gains the most strength when going from D1 to D9 — this typically indicates an area of post-30 maturation.
