In this article I am
going to tell the role of Navansh in Vedic astrology. It is true if every
aspect of Navansh is written the a complete book can be written on the subject
but for the benefit of learners and researchers of Vedic Astrology this
article over Navansh Chart has been written.
Part (A)
What is Navansh?
This is perhaps the most important chart in Vedic astrology
and it finds its dignity in almost every ancient text on Vedic Jyotish.
Mathematically it is the division of a rashi of 30o in nine equal
parts.
The value of a Rashi = 30o
The value of a Navansh = 30o / 9 = 03o20’
So in any sign the value of each Navansh is 03o20’.
Before going deep into Navansh Chart it will be better to understand how
Navansh Chart is casted.
In every rashi of 30o
00o to 03o20’: First Navansh
03o20’ to 06o40’: Second Navansh
06o40’ to 10o00’: Third Navansh
10o00’ to 13o20’: Forth Navansh
13o20’ to 16o40’: Fifth Navansh
16o40’ to 20o00’: Sixth Navansh
20o00’ to 23o20’: Seventh Navansh
23o20’ to 26o40’: Eighth Navansh
26o40’ to 30o00’: Ninth Navansh
In ancient texts on Vedic Jyotish following results are
given for the person born in different Navansh:
(1)
Person Born In First Navansh 00 to 03o20’
Of Any Sign is a snitcher, of wavering mind, wicked, sinner, ugly and indulge
in the wicked acts of foes.
(2)
Person Born In Second Navansh 03o20’
to 06o40’ of Any Sign is a religious, truthful, learned in many
Shaastras, of strong will power and enthusiastic. According to another reading
he does not like fighting and he is in a relationship with the wives of singers
or musicians.
(3)
Person Born In Third Navansh 06o40’
to 10o00’ of Any Sign is religious, always a patient, expert of
knowing each and every types of motions, full of every kind of knowledge and
devotee of Devtas.
(4)
Person Born In Forth Navansh 10o00’
to 13o20’ of Any Sign is always in search of a true Guru to become
his devotee and he gains whatever is available on this earth.
(5)
Person Born In Fifth Navansh 13o20’
to 16o40’ of Any Sign is long lived, he have many sons and a King
with many qualities.
(6)
Person Born In Sixth Navansh 16o40’
to 20o00’ of Any Sign suffers defeat at the hands of a female, he is
without fortunes, he gets respect, he is impotent and without wealth.
(7)
Person Born In Seventh Navansh 20o00’
to 23o20’ of Any Sign is courageous, intelligent, army man as
described in Vedic texts, winner in battle, enthusiastic and always has
gratification.
(8)
Person Born In Eighth Navansh 23o20’
to 26o40’ of Any Sign is thankless, jealous & cruel. He always
suffers from many tragedies, he has many children and he refuses to take the auspicious
Karmaphala produced by Dasha in his horoscope due to his dirty actions.
(9)
Person Born In Ninth Navansh 26o40’
to 30o00’ of Any Sign is good at performing physical actions, verbal
actions & mental actions, proficient. His displayed positive energy makes
him very popular, he has a control over his senses, and he possesses many
servants.
The aforesaid results as
described under (1) to (9) for person born in various Navansh are vey general
in nature so care should be taken while applying these results to various
horoscopes. These results may be helpful in rectifying one’s birth time. But these
results give an idea about how to use Navansh on various horoscopes.
Part (B)
Wonders Of Navansh Chart
(1) In all the Chara Rashi (Movable Signs) the
counting of Navansh should be started with the Rashi or Sign e.g. if any planet
is found within 00o00’ to 03o20’ of Mesh, Kark, Tula or
Makar rashi then it will occupy Mesh, Kark, Tula or Makar Navansh and Second
Navansh will be in Vrish, Simh, Vrischika or Kumbh Navansh and so on.
(2)
In all Sthir Rashi (Fixed Signs) the counting
of Navansh should be started with 9th Rashi from that Rashi or Sign
e.g. if a planet is found within 00o00’ to 03o20’ of Vrish,
Simh, Vrischika or Kumbh rashi then it will occupy Makar, Mesh, Kark or Tula
Navansh and Second Navansh will be in Kumbh, Vrish, Simh or Vrischika Navansh
and so on.
(3)
In all Dweswabhava Rashi (Duel Signa) the
counting of Navansh should be started with 5th Rashi from that Rashi
or Sign e.g. if a planet is found within 00o00’ to 03o20’
of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanur or Meen rashi then it will occupy Tula, Makar, Mesh
or Kark Navansh and Second Navansh will be in Vrischika, Kumbh, Vrish or Simh
Navansh and so on.
(4)
With a little practice these calculations can
be done mentally. The following Table will be useful to construct Navansh
Chart. Learners of Vedic astrology should check that whatever has been written
under (1), (2) & (3) is also verified through the Table Of Navansh.
(5) The following Table will be helpful to construct Navansh Chart
(6)
A closer look at the Tables Of Navansh
indicates the wonderful deductions that if there are three planets or more,
assume Planet A, Planet B, Planet C & Planet D in conjunction but occupying different Navansh zones, Suppose
planets A & Planet B are in conjunction in first Navansh level of 00o00’
to 03o20’, Planet A & Planet C are in conjunction with Planet A
occupying 00o00’ to 03o20’ & Planet C occupying 03o20’ to
06o40’ and Planet A occupying
00o00’ to 03o20’ &
Planet D occupying 20o00’ to 23o20’ they will display
different results and make the net result of the conjunction varying.
(6.1)
In aforesaid assumed case Planets A & B
will form powerful conjunction
(6.2)
In aforesaid assumed case Planets A & C
will form ordinary conjunction
(6.3)
In aforesaid assumed case the conjunction of Planets
A & D will form powerful mutual aspect in Navansh Chart and sometimes this
type of conjunction changes the entire complexion of the horoscope e.g. Replace
Planet A by Mars & Planet D by Saturn so there will be conjunction of Mars
occupying its own Sign within 00o00’ to 03o20’ &
Saturn occupying its debilitation sign within 20o00’ to 23o20’
will form mutual aspect in Navansh Chart with Mars occupying its own Navansh in
Mesh rashi & Saturn occupying it exaltation Navansh in Tula rashi and this
type of conditions many times changes the entire complexion of any horoscope.
(6.4)
So minimum
two planets occupying same sign with one planet occupying first Navansh &
other planet occupying 7th Navansh will form mutual aspect in
Navansh Chart and similar results will apply if one planet occupying 2nd
Navansh & other planet occupying 8th Navansh and one Planet
occupying 3rd Navansh & other planet occupying 9th
Navansh.

More about Navmansh
In Indian astrology Navansh chart
finds a special position. In classical Indian astrology it is the only chart
which is highly regarded after rashi chart. This is considered as source of
strength. Even a weak planet in rashi chart but placed strong in Navansh chart
becomes powerful.
There are 12 rashi and each rashi has 9
Navansh there total number of Navansh in a Zodiac becomes = 12 × 9 = 108.
The entire Zodiac is equally divided into
27 parts and thus there are 27 Nakshatra in a Zodiac and every Nakshatra has 4
charan so total number of charan in a Zodiac of 27 Nakshatra becomes = 27 × 4 =
108.
So there is wonderful similarity between a
Navansh and a Nakshatra chran. This strength to a Navansh chart which is
imaginary when compared with Nakshatra which is real. So Navansh position
derives strength from Nakshatra.
On the basis of its applicability it is put to
use in two ways (1) as an independent chart (2) as a supportive chart.
(1) As an independent chart it is used to
judge everything about one's life partner.
(1.1) One can also calculate the Longitude of
planets for the Navmansh position of Planets of one’s horoscope and from this
you can also work out shodash varga for the concerned Navmansh. It will give
some enlarged view of the events of one’s life partner such as D24 of this
Navmansh indicates the academic attainments of one’s life partner, D10 of this
Navmansh about the profession of one’s life partner and so on. The Navmansh of
this Navmansh will indicate something about that person very especial. But mind
it it is possible only when the details of that person whose horoscope is under
consideration should be highly accurate otherwise this system will not work.
(2) As supportive chart it is used to judge
the entire events of one's life in addition to the main chart. Some of them are
as under:
(2.1) Vargottam: Any planet occupies same
rashi and same Navansh becomes vargottam planet and supposed to give the result
as if it were in its own sign provided it should not occupy its debilitation
rashi.
(2.2) it is auspicious to have vargottam
lagna.
(2.3) any conjunction, aspect or yoga
occurring in main chart as well as in Navansh chart becomes powerful.
(2.4) If planets form conjunction in chalit
chakra and are found to be in aspectual relationship in Navmansh chart than
their conjunction in chalit chakra becomes powerful and result giving and if
otherwise than it is not much powerful.
(2.5) If any planet in chalit chakra is found
to move from one house to another Bhava and in Navmansh it occupies the same
house as that occupied by it in chalit chakra than it gives the results of the
bhava it occupies in chalit chakra more effectively. If it occupies otherwise in
Navmansh than its chalit chakra Bhava position will not be so effective.
(2.6) When Jupiter transits the Navmansh
position or 5th & 9th from the position of any bhava lord of main chart
than the auspicious results of that bhava occurs within the transit of Jupiter
befitting the age of person. In Indian astrology Navansh chart finds a special
position. In classical Indian astrology it is the only chart which is highly
regarded after rashi chart. This is considered as source of strength. Even a
weak planet in rashi chart but placed strong in Navansh chart becomes powerful.
