Divisional charts — Varga

Computes all 16 Vedic divisional charts (Varga charts) for a given birth date, time, and location. What are divisional charts? In Vedic astrology, the birth chart (D1) is divided into progressively finer subdivisions to reveal different areas of life. Each divisional chart isolates a specific domain — the D9 Navamsha reveals spouse and dharma, the D10 Dashamsha reveals career, the D60 Shashtyamsha is the most subtle and reveals karmic residue from past lives. The 16 charts returned: - D1 — Rashi (natal chart) - D2 — Hora (wealth) - D3 — Drekkana (siblings) - D4 — Chaturthamsha (property) - D7 — Saptamsha (children) - D9 — Navamsha (spouse, dharma) — the most consulted divisional chart - D10 — Dashamsha (career) - D12 — Dwadashamsha (parents) - D16 — Shodashamsha (vehicles) - D20 — Vimshamsha (spirituality) - D24 — Chaturvimshamsha (education) - D27 — Bhamsha (vitality) - D30 — Trimshamsha (misfortunes) - D40 — Khavedamsha (auspicious effects) - D45 — Akshavedamsha (all life matters) - D60 — Shashtyamsha (subtle karmic residue) Each chart shows every planet's sign placement within that divisional subdivision. Use the D9 alongside the D1 for most interpretive work. Ayanamsa: All positions are sidereal. Default is Lahiri. Also known as Varga charts or Amsha charts. Only the requested chart_type is returned. To get all sixteen charts, omit the chart_type parameter.
