The Navamansha Chart - D9...5


For reference to ninth house read the following post:



So, coming to the nature of spouse. If the master of seventh house (Leo) in your D9 chart is Sun, then in that case your spouse will be authoritative. Your spouse will display properties bestowed by Sun, specially after marriage (that is the time when he/she starts affecting your life and vice versa). 

If your 7th house in D9 is Aries or Scorpio, in that case, your spouse will be someone interested in outdoor activities/sports etc. Even if he/she have been an indoor person till now, suddenly your involvement with him/her will give him interest in Martian activities. Magic right? It happens. 

Now, how lucky you will be for your spouse? For boys, again Venus is the main guy besides the 7th house of D9. For a girl it will Mars/Jupiter or both. So, if in the above case in Scorpio, Mars is also sitting their (in a girl's chart), then Mars is pretty strong in D9 and the girl will prove to be lucky for her husband. The person (her husband) will be very secretive (may be with secret affairs( and he will become more secretive after marriage. 

If the Mars is in Cancer, hence debilitated, the girl's husband will become too much of homebound and under the strong influence of his own mother. Hence, the master of 7th house in D9 chart must always be strong and well placed in a girl's chart (for her to be lucky for her husband) and also in boy's chart (for him to be lucky for his wife). 

Please note that 7th house in D9 chart indicates only the first serious affair/marriage in your life. For subsequent ones the equation changes.

The Navamansha Chart - D9...4

Now something that many people reading the blog might be waiting for, your life partner/ your husband/ your wife/your spouse. What will he/she be like? And how lucky will you be for your partner? Here, the word partner mostly indicates someone with whom you share majority of your life, besides your parents of-course. 

So, we use the seventh house of your D1 chart to determine how your spouse will be. Besides this, in a boy's chart the placement of Venus is of extreme importance. If Venus is well placed in D1 and D9 charts, be sure that your wife will be a dedicated and good looking and someone whom you can trust for a whole lifetime. I have already indicated in earlier posts when a planet is well placed:

1. Exalted - Venus is exalted in Pisces
2. Located in own house - in Taurus or Libra
3. In a friend's house - Gemini, Capricorn or Aquarius. 
4. Under aspect of benefics such as Jupiter, Moon and Mercury
5. Under aspect from friends of the ascendant in D1

Similarly in a girl's chart (D1 and D9) Jupiter and/or Mars must be well placed. 

1. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, while Mars in Capricorn
2. Jupiter's own houses - Sagittarius and Pisces
     Mars's own houses - Aries and Scorpio
3. Jupiters friends are - Mars (Aries and Scorpio) and Sun (Leo)
    Mars' friends are - Jupiter (Sagittarius and Pisces) and Sun (Leo)
4. Under aspect from friends of the ascendant

The Navamansha Chart - D9...3

For reference to ninth house read the following post:


The D9 chart is also used to determine the spiritual inclination of a native. In the below post I have described how a native can determine his or her Ishta Dev.


As per BhagyaSamhita rules, Atma Karaka is the planet that has the highest longitude (or degrees) in one's natal Chart. Atma Karaka in Navamsha is named the "Karakamsa". The 12th from the Karakamsa controls the "IsthaDevata". The 12th house from the karakamsa is named the "Jivanmuktamsa". This is the house which suggests the freedom of the soul and thus we have to observe this house in order to find your IshtaDevata and if there is a Graha in the Jivanmuktamsa, it indicates the Devata. If there are more Grahas than one, we select the strongest. If there is no Graha in the Jivanmuktamsa, we can see whether any Grahas are inspecting the 12th. If no Grahas aspect it, we can take the 12th Lord as IshtaDevata. In the chapter called "kaarakaamsaphala" in BPHS(Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra), Parasara stated the deities adored based on the planets in the 12th from kaarakaamsha. For example, Sun in 12th from Atma Karaka shows a believer of Shiva and Moon in 12th from Atma Karaka shows a worshipper of MaaGouri.

Here are given the ruling deities for each planet who can be your IshtaDevata as per your Horoscope.

Sun - Vishnu, Rama, Shiva 

Moon - Krishna, Shiva, Parvati

Mars - Hanuman, Subramanya, Sri Narasimha

Mercury- Vishnu
Jupiter- Vishnu, Sri Vamana, Dattatreya, Sai Baba
Venus- Maha Lakshmi, Parashurama, MaaGouri
Saturn- ShaniDev, Hanuman, Kurma, Shiva, Vishnu
Rahu - MaaDurga, Varaha
Ketu - Ganesh, Matasya
Ascendent - Kalki

Besides determining one's Ishta Dev D9 also indicates how much spiritual a person will be. Actually, if you are not a following of ancient Indian philosophy of Sanatan Dharma (now termed as Hinduism), you will not be able to grasp the above stuff. But still you can determine one's propensity, because in principle, the Lord or the almighty is one. It does not matter which path you follow, if your D9 chart  is strong, you will have a natural inclination towards the ONE almighty. It is just that Sanatan Dharma has so many deities, they are just replicas of ONE Lord. 

Hence, if you have a strong D9 chart (also strong D60 chart) you will be a spiritual person and you will follow a path of goodwill, leading to emancipation.

The Navamansha Chart - D9...2

The Navamansha chart displays the luck of a person in general. Why so? If you remember the post on 9th house:


Then you will see that the 'good luck' as we see in our lives comes through good deeds or the good karma that we accumulate from our previous lives. So, if you have a strong D9 chart (or the 9th house), it actually that you have been a overall good person doing all sorts of goods deeds in the previous lives. 

Well, what exactly you did can be determined through the 12th house of your chart or more precisely the D60 chart. For example if you have good placement of Venus in your D60 chart, it would actually mean that you behaved good with your wife and you were gentle and behaved well with women in  general in your previous lives. Similarly, if you have a strong Mars in your D60 chart, it could mean that you did something good for masses (general public) in general or maybe you were a warrior in your previous life, who protected people. 

Hence, your luck will be reflected from your D9 chart and if you see carefully your D1, D9 and D60 charts will be in agreement when it comes to the fruits you reap in your current life.
