Ninth Divisional [Harmonic] Chart "the fruits of faith"

Caveat emptor

**Accuracy of divisional charts depends entirely on accuracy of birth time.** Varga charts can be exceptionally useful. However, if accurate birth time is not available, divisional charts are misleading, and should be ignor

Fruits of Dharma
All of the divisional charts show the "fruits", "attainments" = "results" of life's basic undertakings. The goals, attainments, or "fruits" of any matter, are seen in the bhava which form a 3/11 angle to house-X.

11th-from-house-X shows HOW THE GOAL IS DEFINED

11th-from-house-X shows native's COURAGE TO REACH THAT GOAL

The house which occupies the 3/11 position from the matter in question can tell us whether a goal is properly set and properly energized to reach manifestation. The "fruits of dharma"are shown by 11th-from-9th = radix house-7. Therefore a major fruit of one's dharma is one's marriage, and the spouse who along with us creates the marriage. Because the 9th-house is the "seed" which creates the outcome "fruition" of marriage, to know more about the spouse and the marriage, we need to know more about the psychodynamics of the 9th house. Internal interactions of marriage = clearly defined in the divisional-9th-house, "Nav-amsha".

Dharma
The psycho-emotional = "astral" truth of bhava-9 reveals the "seeds" of this dharma-fruit of marriage. The seeds display the true origins of marriage interactions, as these psycho-sexual dynamics arise first IN THE MIND. Dharma = "things as they are" = "phenomena". The religious implications of dharma = "accurate teachings" = "accurate behavior" result from a neutral, non-reactive viewpoint, seeing things as they are without social conformity, moral judgment or punishment anxiety (Shani). The "seeds" = repeating psycho-emotional patterns of any bhava, which are stored in the treasury of accrued past-life influences, are seen in the portions = amsha of that bhava. Amsha = storage containers. The amsha = the private, intimate seeds that eventually create the public, visible fruit = marriage = NAVAMSHA. Of course, the "seeds of dharma" have a major effect on one's spiritual life, children, and fortune in general. That's why the navamsha lagna = Swamsha = very important in Jyotisha. Q: Most Jyotishi say that the D-1 and the D-9 must be interpreted "equally". Why? They are two different charts. How can they be "equally" predictive A: The life experience = a series of projected ideas. The ideas originate in the treasury of memory-mind (conscious or unconscious = usually unconscious).

Each idea forms a "picture" . As the subject-mind projects the ideas out of memory onto the mirror of object-external-reality, a stream of pictures flashes back at us. A sequence of Gazillions of pictures. Each picture has an emotional tag attached to it. The Core Reality of human experience is *not* the pictures. We are actually quite neutral to the pictures themselves. Watching the projections fly by is a strictly non-reactive mental event just like watching a movie, reading a book, or playing a video game. The core reality of human experience is the *feeling* that we get when we experience the pictures.

D-1 = social-material reality = the pictures D-9 = the psycho-spiritual experience = the tags

Q: My birth time is fairly accurate but I've often had a doubt about the accuracy of my navamsha lagna. How can I determine the correct rashi of my navamsha lagna

A: With your own knowledge of Jyotisha, you might want to do some simple and often very accurate assessments of 10th navamsha = careerthat can expose the correct navamsha lagna. The easiest method is to input your birth data into a good Jyotisha software package. (I use Shri Jyoti Star by Andrew Foss). Then use the software to move the birth time up and down, by one minute increments. When you get skillful, change the D-1 + D-9 snapshots via 15-second increments or the traditional water-clock unit = ghati. The lord of the 10th navamsha is a reliable indicator of career so make sure there is a fit between

what you do for a living the nature of the rashi upon the 10th bhava in the D-9 the behavior of the lord of the 10th navamsha as that lord operates in the radix. BTW even if you've done a variety of "jobs" there will be a consistent theme. If the Lord of the 10th navamsha = combust in D-1 or an unfavorable bhava-pati (e.g. Guru for the Thula D-1 lagna or Budha for the Mesha D-1 lagna) then there won't be too much notoriety in career even if that lord is in a hospitable rashi in D1. However, if there is ANY graha in the 10th navamsha varga, the career will be welldefined and publicly recognized. (See George Bush-43 for a huge Simha D-9 10th bhava.)

To establish the nakshatra portion = rising navamsha portion, look at the table of nakshatra-navamsha correspondences = Pushkara Navamsha. You can also check the marriage behaviors. Your spouse-partner will have (usually) notable charteristics of the rashi upon the 7th navamsha. (About 20% of cases however evoke the qualities of the navamsha varga lagna in the spousal profile.) if you want really fine tuning, there should be a match between your core attitude and behaviors in marriage and the lord of the rising nakshatra. Of course settling this question requires more neutral objective self-observation than settling the career question, but it can be decided accurately upon guilt-free, "should"-free meditative introspection
