Navamsa Chart is the most important divisional chart, Navamsa means nine part of a

particular Rashi in which each Amsa consists of 3 degrees and 20 minutes.

It is usually used during predictions about marriage of the native, spouse, married life
etc but is also useful to know characteristics of the native and also his/her spouse in
much detail.
For a planet posited in a Movable sign (Chara Rashi) counting starts from the sign itself,
in fixed sign counting starts from 9th and in dual sign counting starts from 5th from
where the planet is posited. Planets in the first Navamsa division. Chara Rashi, 5th
division in the fixed sign (Sthir Rashi) and 9th division in Dual Rashi are Vargottoma.

Importance of Navamasa
Navamsa is invariably necessary to be checked for each and every event to be
delineated from the horoscope. According to Shastras, without Navamsa chart
predictions are not ventured without anyalsing the position of planets in the Navamsa
chart for a particular bhava and its representative. Sthoolam or apparent look is D-1
chart, Sukhsham Sharira is D-9 chart and it should have inherent permanent strength.
If Sukhsham Sharira does not possesses strength one will always be liable for having
loss the materalistic possessions he has. Otherwise also sustaining engeries for a native
will be very less if Sukhshma Sharira is not properly balanced.
Planets debilitated in D-1 exalted in D-9 are considered to give more favourable results
and are considered to be more powerful and vice-versa. Any planet or Bhava should
have equal or more strenght in D-9 chart to advocate sustaining power of that
particular Bhava or planet. Any planet in its own Rashi placed in D-1 chart should go
into its own Rashi, Mooltrikon sign, exaltation sign or great friend’s sign. They should
not go into inimical signs, untoward behaves or connected with them should not be
debilitated or should not otherwise loose strenght in D-9 chart. One has to analysis the
exact strength of a planet in D-9 chart in respect of basic chart, transit chart (prashna
chart) any planet gaining strength in Navamsa multiply its power with three times.
