Navamsa (D9 Chart)
The chart of marriage and inner strength
The Navamsa or D9 chart is the most important divisional (varga) chart in Vedic astrology after the main birth chart. It divides each sign into nine parts of 3°20′ — the same width as a nakshatra pada — and is read especially for marriage, dharma and the inner strength of planets.
Why the D9 matters
- Marriage & partnership — the D9 is the primary chart for relationships and spouse.
- Planetary strength — a planet weak in the birth chart but strong in Navamsa (vargottama) gains power.
- Second half of life — traditionally the D9 shows how life matures.
Navagraha computes your Navamsa along with the full Shodashavarga set (D2, D3, D7, D10, D12, D30) using correct Parashari rules, so you can see how each planet truly performs.
Frequently asked questions
What is the D9 chart used for?
The Navamsa (D9) is used mainly for marriage, dharma and to judge the real strength of planets. A planet strong in the D9 delivers its promise.
What is vargottama?
A planet is vargottama when it occupies the same sign in both the birth chart (D1) and the Navamsa (D9), which greatly strengthens it.
