The above two chart give you a clear picture as to star-wise as well as Degree-wise placement
of constellations in each house. These twelve houses are known as Rasi.
Whether it is north Indian style or South Indian style of horoscope
chart, normally both carry two chart namely Lagna Rasi Chakram
( Lagna Kundali) and Navamsa Chakram (Navamsa Kundali). Though
the system and divisions in both style are the same, the only
difference being South Indian Horoscope Chart shown in Clock-wise
movements, wherein North Indian Horoscope charts are shown in Anti
Clock-wise.

Though the Navamsa Kundali known as Navamsa chakram is similar to

the main horoscope chart, the planetary alignments are positioned
according to the placement of planets in the original main chart. This
is called as 9 divisions of nakshatra rasi to make Navamsa Kundali.

The above chart shows 01 as Ascendant. But practically, whichever

the sign is falling into ascendant that will be placed at the top (in
place of 01 - here the 01 or the Ascendant is not necessarily "Aries"

but can be any other Lagna). Then it is counted from there on, in anticlock wise till the 12th sign. Most important to note here is, that
which ever the Lagna a person is born under, placed on the top.

Now for the houses and the moon sign along with Ruler of the houses,
the following chart is given in detail for a simple study. One can easily
recognize the zodiac signs and its influence with each body part and
plus and minus points of its actual placement at the time of birth. In
the Natal chart erected for a person, the planetary alignments are to
be taken into account, while giving any judgment for the same.
However, the Running Dasa Bukti, and its sub, sub-sub divisions are to
be considered; also, the transition of any planet at a given time is to
be considered for predictions. The following Rasi Chakram Chart
illustrate the simple notations on the same.
