Divisional Charts (Vargas) · Gurukul Plus
Building the Navamsa
Nine parts to a sign, 108 to the zodiac — and you already know the arc.
This chapter is part of Gurukul Plus
The foundational curriculum — grahas, rashis, bhavas, nakshatras, dashas and how to read a chart with them — is free to read here and free to practise in the app. Divisional Charts (Vargas) is one of the advanced chapters, and its teaching text comes with Plus.
Plus is ₹199 a month, or ₹1,999 a year. It opens every advanced chapter and raises your saved charts from one to four, so you can work on family charts alongside your own. Both plans renew until you cancel, and cancelling takes one click.

- How the navamsa is built
- Each sign splits into 9 parts of 3°20′ — the same span as a nakshatra pada. 12 × 9 = 108 navamsas around the zodiac.
- Padas are the doorway
- A nakshatra pada and a navamsa are the same 3°20′ arc, which is why pada tables give the D9 sign directly.
- What the D9 shows
- Marriage and partnership, dharma, and a graha's inner strength — the promise behind the rasi chart's appearance.
