Secrets of Navamsha (D9)
<p>Navamsha (D9) is the most important divisional chart in Vedic Astrology and closely linked to the nakshatras. 4 padas of each nakshatra are each mapped to a navamsha sign, in a geometrically beautiful way. Every sign is divided into 9 equals parts, directly linked to nakshatra padas – and, coincidentally, 9 x 12 = 108.</p><p>When we divide the ecliptic into these 108 unique portions, known as nakshatra padas, there will be 9 of them dwelling in each zodiac sign or rashi. Therefore each zodiac sign, in Vedic Astrology, has its 9 sacred divisions – 9 itself being sometimes considered the number that holds the key to the mysteries of the universe. And from these 9 divisions of a rashi a ninth divisional chart is born, also known as navamsha – a divisional chart, which reveals some deeper subtleties of a birth chart, present on energy level.</p>
