Navamsa System of Prediction

It is more than thirty years ago I made acquaintance of Hindu Astrology.

Soon I come to know about the importance of the Navamsa position of the planets and the Bhavas. In the matter of prognostication the value of a Navamsa chart is immense.

But I find there is no book in which the subject of Navamsa has been exclusively drafted with. And thus I venture to write this book after culling material from classical works on Hindu Astrology.

I hope, my honest and humble endeavour to give an idea of importance of Navamsa chart to our esteemed readers of Hindu Astrology will be acknowledged with great warmth.

If the readers and the students of Hindu Astrology find themselves benefitted by the study of this book I will think myself amply rewarded.

In the traditional Hindu Astrology there are sixteen divisions of a sign, named as Shodasa Vargas. Navamsa is one of them.

The Rashi chart is the main chart, all divisional other charts base and depend practically upon it. All events of the native’s life can be known from the Rashi chart, and the divisional charts are used to confirm events. For examples, the financial status, wealth and personal emotions can be known from Hora chart. Brothers, sisters, family tree, hopes, accidents, criminality and suicidal propensities can be studied from Drekkana chart. Dasamsa chart is studied for knowing about jobs, destiny, good fortune etc. Dwadasamas chart is used to know details about parents, past and future lives etc. And so on.

Generally of all aspects the Rashi chart are judged by the Navamsa chart as well, although the Navamsa chart its special areas, viz, the married life and marital happiness of the native. Of all the divisional charts the Navamsa chart is considered as important as the Rashi chart for knowing almost all events of the native’s life.

In the first chapter of this book the extents of a Navamsa and various definitions of Navamsa are given.

The second chapter deals with erection of Navamsa chart and positions of the planets in it etc. Then the third chapter deals how the strength of the planets in the Rashi chart can be ascertained by the Navamsa chart. Combinations for nullification of evils, inauspicious Navamsa influences and Navamsa combination for material success have been dealt with in these chapters.

Then Navamsa combinations in different Bhavas of the Rashi chart have been given in chapter 4. Jaimini’s Atmakaraka Navamsa and its results are dealt with in a separate chapter. Importance of Navamsa in female Horoscopy, in marriage and in the matters of progeny have been discussed in separate chapters.

How to judge a Rashi chart along with Navamsa chart, has been shown in a separate chapter. Judging a Navamsa chart alone with illustration, and using the Navamsa chart as the birth chart of the spouse with an illustration is shown in detail in two different chapters. The importance and use of Navamsa in Annual horoscopy is also discussed. How the Navamsa charts should be judged has been discussed at various appropriate places.
