Navamsa Chart Calculator

The Navamsa chart is derived from the Rashi chart through a mathematical division. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into nine equal parts of 3 degrees 20 minutes each. The first Navamsa of a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) starts with Aries. The first Navamsa of an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) starts with Capricorn. The first Navamsa of an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) starts with Libra. The first Navamsa of a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) starts with Cancer.

To find a planet's Navamsa position, take its degree within its Rashi sign, divide by 3.333 degrees, and count forward from the starting Navamsa sign for that element. For example, Jupiter at 15 degrees Aries falls in the 5th Navamsa of Aries (fire sign starting from Aries), which corresponds to Leo. So Jupiter would be placed in Leo in the Navamsa chart. Kaala performs this calculation for all nine planets automatically.

The Navamsa chart's primary practical application is marriage and partnership analysis. The 7th house of the Navamsa and its lord indicate the nature, quality, and characteristics of the spouse more accurately than the Rashi chart's 7th house. The sign on the Navamsa 7th house cusp suggests the spouse's temperament, while planets in or aspecting this house reveal the dynamics of the marital relationship.

Venus in the Navamsa chart reveals the native's approach to love and intimacy at the deepest level. A well-placed Venus in the Navamsa (in own sign, exaltation, or benefic houses) indicates genuine capacity for romantic fulfillment, even if Venus is poorly placed in the Rashi chart. Conversely, a debilitated Venus in Navamsa can indicate underlying relationship challenges despite a strong Rashi Venus. The Navamsa Lagna itself is considered the 'spouse Ascendant' by some classical authorities.

When a planet occupies the same zodiac sign in both the Rashi and Navamsa charts, it is called Vargottama. This is considered a significant source of strength — the planet's energy is consistent at both the surface (Rashi) and deeper (Navamsa) levels, making its results more reliable and pronounced. A Vargottama Lagna (Ascendant in the same sign in both charts) is especially powerful, indicating a person whose outer personality and inner nature are well-aligned.

Kaala's chart analysis identifies Vargottama planets automatically. In interpretation, Jyothi highlights these planets as particularly influential in the native's life because their promise in the Rashi chart is confirmed and reinforced by the Navamsa placement. A Vargottama Jupiter, for instance, gives especially strong results for wisdom, children, and spiritual growth, while a Vargottama Saturn gives exceptional discipline and longevity.

Certain Navamsa positions are considered especially auspicious. Pushkara Navamsas are specific degree ranges within each sign that grant nourishing, supportive energy to any planet placed there. There are 24 Pushkara Navamsas distributed across the zodiac, corresponding to the Navamsa signs of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, and Sagittarius in particular elemental patterns.

A planet in Pushkara Navamsa receives a boost to its benefic potential regardless of its Rashi placement. This is one reason why the Navamsa chart can reveal strengths invisible in the Rashi chart alone. Kaala's AI interpretation considers Pushkara Navamsa placements when assessing planetary strength, adding nuance that goes beyond simple dignity analysis. Additionally, the concept of 64th Navamsa (the Navamsa position exactly opposite to the Moon's Navamsa) is used for timing critical health and life events.
