18. Use of the 16 Divisions: Now I tell you of the considerations or uses that are to be made of the 16 divisions of a sign. From the Lagna or the Ascendant is to be considered the physique, from Hora wealth, from Decanate happiness through coborn (brothers) from Chaturthamsha fortunes, from Sapthamamsha sons and grandsons etc, from Navamamsha wife. from Dasamamsha effects of great importance (one's influence on Government authorities, one's profession status etc.), from Dwadashamsha parents, from Shodashamsha should be known benefits and adversities through conveyances, from Vimshamsha worship is to be known, from Chaturvimshamsha learning, from Bhamsha strength and weakness, from Trimshamsha evil effects, from Khavedamsha auspicious and inauspicious effects and from Akshavedamsha and Shashtiamsha should be considered all indications. There is no doubt in the destruction of that house whose lord is in a malefic Shashtiamsha, so say Garga and others. Similarly, the growth and prosperity has also been spoken by Garga and others of that house the lord of which is situated in a benefic Shodashamsha. It is in this way that I told you of the consideration of Shodasha Vargas.

Prediction is to be made after considering both.

Other books on Astrology indicate the use of Hora in studying several other things besides wealth and property. Let us consider some rules with regard to Hora.

1. The Hora of the Moon at the time of birth is a good indication of wealth. The native will have handsome, attractive appearance, will be popular among women. If there are benefics in Hora Lagna the native will be fortunate, wise, intelligent will have good conversation style, will be of jovial nature and will have magnetic attraction in personality. The Hora of the Moon and the falling of an even sign in the Ascendant will make the native acquire wealth and money with less labour and effort.

Having the Hora of the Sun in his birth chart the native will earn much wealth with his own efforts. If there is an odd sign in the Ascendant and the Hora is of the Sun and male planets are situated in it, then the native will be surprisingly wealthy with his own diligence and efforts; gets success and triumph in politics: is venturesome and courageous, strong and wrathful. The reverse happens in the case of Jupiter, because in the Hora of the Moon he makes the native noble and kind hearted and gives him prestige and, in the Hora of the Sun gives him disease relating to Liver and upper part of abdomen.

Drekkana: If in a horoscope the third house is occupied by a male sign, the Lord of the third house is situated in a male sign, there are male planets in the third house and the third house is aspected by male planets and Mars who is the significator of younger brother is also strong, then this combination gives younger brother to the native. If the Drekkana Ascendant and the third house from this ascendant has also all these conditions, then it can be predicted with certainty that the native will be blessed with a younger brother. The younger brother's health, habits or nature and longevity may also be correctly guessed. The presence of the Lord of the Drekkana Ascendant, the Lord of the third house from the Drekkana Ascendant together and Mars getting Vimshopaka strength in between 15 and 20 Vishwa, is a positive point.

The use of Drekkana is made in Predictive Astrology extensively in a number of things, the exhaustive description of which has been made in our Book 'Parasara and the Sixteen Divisions'. It will not be out of place to give here some additional information.

The Drekkana (Decanate) has some peculiar names such as

1.Ayudha Drekkana: It is as follows in various signs :

2.Sarpa Drekkana : In various signs in I, II and III order the Sarpa Drekkana is distributed in the following way:

3.Nigada (Bedi) Drekkana: Only the first Drekkana of Capricorn is Nigada Drekkana.

4.Pakshi Drekkana: It is found in various signs in the following way:

5.Chatushpada Drekkana: The various Drekkanas in various signs are in the following order:

6.Varaha Drekkana: The first Drekkana of the sign of Cancer is the Varaha Drekkana.

7.Pasha (Phansi or hanging): The second Drekkana of Scorpio is called Pasha Drekkana.

Besides these, the Drekkana of the malefic planets are called Agni Drekkanas.

The Drekkana of benefic planets are called Jala (Watery) Drekkanas.

The Drekkanas of both benefic and malefic planets or three aspected by both benefic and malefic planets are called Mixed Drekkanas.

The Drekkana falling in the 8th House is called the death bringing Drekkana.

Drekkanas should be considered necessarily when starting on a journey. Thus, if Ayudha Drekkana is situated with or is aspected by malefic planets, journey should not be made in the Ayudha Drekkana because its effect will be litigation, defeat in Test Matches and competitions. The effect of the situation or aspect of benefic planets in this Drekkana signifies triumph.

Making journey in Sarpa (Bhujanga) Drekkana or in Nigada (Pasha) Drekkana results in getting the native arrested.

Making journey in Sarpa (Bhujanga) Drekkana or in Nigada (Pasha) Drekkana results in getting the native arrested.

The beginning of the case under Article 302 or Verdict (judgement) of the case in the Pasha Drekkana means getting death punishment by hanging.

If there is the Chatushpada Drekkana and it has the aspect of malefic planets, it causes death of the cattle in the native's house. There should be no purchase of cattle in such Drekkana.

Effects of Drekkanas :

All the Drekkanas have their own peculiar features or qualities (which are used in knowing the features of a thief.

The use of Chaturthamsha is made to study the destiny of the native in the context of getting physical pleasures. The native obtains an important end or a valuable object easily or with difficulty. this is also considered from this Varga or division because the lucky person has not to make much efforts and gets desired end or objects with ease.

The Fourth House, its Lord and its significators, the Chaturthamsha Lagna and the fourth house from the chaturthamsha lagna in a birth chart are studied to know the destiny of the native in the context of worldly physical pleasures and conveniences.

The Saptamamsha Lagna and the fifth and Ninth house from it, the fifth house from the Ascendant (Lagna) and the Lord of the 5th House, significators of progeny (issues) and the position of Jupiter are studied for the consideration of progeny.

In the same way, the prediction of the effects of all the Vargas is to be made after considering the Ascendant, the Varga (Divisional) Chart and the Significator planets. The planet gives auspicious effect when he is in his exaltation sign, Mooltrikona and auspicious sign. The planet situated in Kendra in his rise and situated in benefic Vargas also gives auspicious effect.

The planets that are combust, defeated in planetary war, in their debilitated sign, weak and sleeping (are in Sayanavastha) give inauspicious effects.

उदयादिषु भावेषु खेटस्य भवनेषु वा।
वर्गविंशोपकं वीक्ष्य ज्ञेयं तेषां शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ९ ॥

अथातः सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि वर्गविंशोपकं बलम् ।
यस्य विज्ञानमात्रेण विपाकं दृष्टिगोचरम् ॥ १० ॥

गृहविंशोपकं वीक्ष्यं सूर्यादीनां खचारिणाम् ।
स्वगृहोच्चे बलं पूर्णं शून्यं तत्सप्तमस्थिते ॥ ११ ॥

ग्रहस्थितिवशाज्ज्ञेयं द्विराश्यधिपतिस्तथा ।
मध्येऽनुपाततो ज्ञेयं ओजयुग्मर्क्षभेदतः ॥ १२ ॥

9 - 12. After considering the Vargavimshopakam (the 20 point strength) of the planets in the 12 houses like the Ascendant etc, and in the signs are to be known their good and bad effects Therefore, now I explain to you the Vargavimshopakam or the 20 point strength of divisions just by the knowledge of which the good and bad effects become clearly visible. The Vargavimshopakam of the Sun and the other planets is to be seen in this way. The strength of the planet is full when he is situated in his exaltation sign or in his own sign; he is bereft of strength when he is situated in a house seventh from it. The strength of the planets having Lordships over two signs is to be known according to their situation in the signs and it is to be seen whether the sign is odd or even when such a planet is situated some where between his two signs his strength is to be found out as per proportion.

A planet gets full strength in his exaltation sign. As he rises from this sign and progresses towards his debilitation sign, his strength begins to diminish gradually till at length it becomes nil when he enters in his debilitation sign. Therefore, the strength of the planet in between his exaltation and uepilitation signs may be considered in proportion.

सूर्यहोराफलं दद्युर्जीवार्कवसुधात्मजाः ।
चन्द्रास्फूजिदर्कपुत्राश्चन्द्रहोराफलप्रदाः ॥ १३ ॥

फलद्वयं बुधो दद्यात् समे चन्द्रं तदन्यके ।
रवेः फलं स्वहोरादौ फलहीनं विरामके ॥ १४ ॥

मध्येऽनुपातात् सर्वत्र द्रेष्काणेऽपि विचिन्तयेत् ।
गृहवत् तुर्यभागेपि नवांशादावपि स्वयम् ॥ १५ ॥

सूर्यः कुजफलं धत्ते भार्गवस्य निशापतिः ।
त्रिंशांशके विचिन्त्यैवमत्रापि गृहवत् स्मृतम् ॥ १६ ॥

13-16. Jupiter, the Sun and Mars give (pronounced) effects in the Hora of the Sun, the Moon, Venus and Saturn in the Hora of the Moon and; Mercury in the hora of both. There is the pronounced effect of the Hora of the Moon in even signs and that of the Sun in odd signs. The effect of Hora divison is full in the beginning and becomes nil in the end. In the middle the effect should be considered proportionately. The effect of Drekkana Vargas and of others should be considered in the same manner. And the effect in the Chaturthamsha and Navamsha etc, should be understood like that in the Houses. In Trimsamsha the Sun gives the effect of Mars and the Moon that of Venus. Here also, that is, in Trimsamsha, the effects should be understood as they are in the Signs.

The Vimshopakabala of the planets having Lordships over two signs will be properly known in the following way. If the planet is situated in a male sign, the Vimshopakabala is to be known with reference to his male sign, if it be in a female sign it is to be known with reference to his female sign. Besides this, if the Vimshopakabala of male planet is known with reference to his male sign and that of a female planet with reference to his female sign, it will also be correct.

Jupiter, the Sun and Mars, being male planets, get pronounced strength in the Hora of the Sun (the odd sign Leo). Therefore, they give the effect of the Sun's Hora: on the contrary, the female planets the Moon, Venus and Saturn are happy and are pronouncedly strong in female signs, therefore they give special effect in the Hora of the Moon. Mercury is neither male nor female for it is said that this planet gives the effect of that planet with whom he accompanies. Therefore, he is the giver of effects in both kinds of Hora. In the last line of Verse 16 (श्लोक १६). the Sage gives clear instruction that Chaturthamsha, Navamamsha and Trimsamsha etc. will be studied like the 12 houses in the birth chart.

लग्नहोरादृकाणांकभागसूर्यांशका इति ।
त्रिंशांशकश्च षड्वर्गा अत्र विंशोपकाः क्रमात् ॥ १७ ॥

रसनेत्राब्धिपंचाश्विभूमयः सप्तवर्गके ।
ससप्तमांशके तत्र विश्वका: पंच लोचनम् ॥ १८ ॥

त्रयः सार्द्ध द्वयं सार्द्धवेदा द्वौ रात्रिनायकः ।
स्थूलं फलं च संस्थाप्य तत्सूक्ष्मं च ततस्ततः ॥ १९ ॥

17 - 19. Vimshopaka Strength: Lagna, Hora, Drekkana, Dwadashamsha and Trimshamsha are the Shadavargas. The Vimshopaka or 20 point strength of these is respectively 6, 2, 4, 5, 2, 1. With the addition of Sapthamamsha, these are the Saptavargas. In the Saptavargas the Vimshopaka strength is respectively 5, 2, 3, 212, 412, 2,1. These are sthool or gross strengths (or of the middle of the Vargas). The subtle strengths of the planets is to be known by their exact positions.

दशवर्गां दिगंशाढ्या: कलांशाः षष्टिभागकाः ।
त्रयं क्षेत्रस्य विज्ञेयाः पंचषष्ट्यशंकस्य च ॥ २० ॥

सार्द्धेकभागाः शेषाणां विश्वकाः परिकीर्तिता ।

20-20.1/2. Dashamsha, Shodashamsha and Shastiamsha, when added to the Saptavargas give us the Dashavarga division. The Vimshopaka Bala in the Dashavarga division is 3 for Lagna 5 in Shastiamsha and 1.1/2 for each of the 8 vargas.

अथ वक्ष्ये विशेषेण बलं विंशोपकाह्वयम् ॥ २१ ॥

क्रमात् षोडशवर्गाणां क्षेत्रादीनां पृथक् पृथक् ।
होरात्रिंशांशक्काणे कुचन्द्रशशिनः क्रमात् ॥ २२ ॥

कलांशस्य द्वयं ज्ञेयं त्रयं नन्दांशकस्य च ।
क्षेत्रे सार्द्ध च त्रितयं वेदाः षष्ट्यंशकस्य हि ॥ २३ ॥

अर्द्धमर्ध तु शेषाणां हयेतत् स्वीयमुदाहृतम् ।
पूर्णं विंशोपकं विंशो धृतिः स्यादधिमित्रके ॥ २४ ॥

मित्रे पंचदश प्रोक्तं समे दश प्रकीर्तितम् ।
शत्रौ सप्ताधिशत्रौ च पंचविंशोपकं भवेत् ॥ २५ ॥

20.1/2-25. Nowl tell you of the Vimshopaka Bala respectively of the Shodasavargas such as Kshetra (Lagna). Hora, Trimshamsha and Drekkana have the Bala or strength of 1 each, Shodashamsha 2, Navamamsha 3, Kshetra (Lagna or Graha) 312, Shashtiamsa 4, and the remaining nine vargas have each the Bala or strength of 12. The Vimshopaka Bala remains as 20 when the planet is in his own vargas, in the varga of extreme friend it is 18, in that of friend 15, of equal 10, of enemy 7, of extreme enemy 5. (These figures are known as Varga Vishwas).

वर्गविश्वाः स्वविश्वघ्नाः पुनर्विंशतिभाजिताः ।
विश्वाफलोपयोग्यं तत्पञ्चोनं फलदो न हि ॥ २६ ॥

तदूर्ध्वं स्वल्पफलदं दशोर्ध्वं मध्यमं स्मृतम् ।
तिथ्यूर्धं पूर्णफलदं बोध्यं सर्वं खचारिणाम् ॥ २७ ॥

26-27. Vimshopaka Proportional Evaluation: When the Vimshopaka Bala of all the Vargas is multiplied by the Vimshopaka Bala (varga vishwa) mentioned in the house varga of extreme friend etc and is divided by 20, it gives the exact Vimshopaka Bala or strength to predict the effect of all the vargas. It it is below 5 then it is not capable of giving auspicious results; if it is above 5 but below 10, the planet gives some auspicious effect, it being 10 to 15 the auspicious effect will be mediocre and, wholly favourable result will be yielded if it is 15 to 20.

Table

This table makes its clear that in the shadavarga the Lagna gets 6 points, Hora 2, Drekkanna 4, Navamamsha 5, Dvadashamsha 2 and Trimshamsha 1. This point(Strength) which Lagna, Hora etc. get is called Swavishwa. For example, the Shadavarga Hora gets two Swavimsha.

The strength which a planet gets when he is situated in extreme friends friends' friend's and his own house is called Varga Vishwa.

The formula given below is used in order to arrive at the Vimshodapaka.

Swavimsha × Vargavishwa5

Example : Suppose the native's birth falls on 12-7-1952 Indian Standard Time (IST) 9.15 at Latitude 28°-43' and langitude 77°-47'. Then

Five-fold freindship chart :

As per verse (श्लोक) no. 17, there are respenctively 6, 2, 4, 5, 2, 1 Vimshopaka Bala in Shadavarga i.e., a planet gets 6 Vimshopaka Bala in Lagna, 2 in Hora, 4 in Drekkanna, 5 in Navamamsha, 2 in Dwadashamsha and 1 in Trimshamsha. This Bala (Strength) is called Swavishwa

A planet gets in his own sign and in his sign of exaltation all the 20 points (or full of Vimshopaka strength), 18 in that of his extreme or intimate friend, 15 in that of his friend, 10 in that of his nautral friend, 7 in that of his enemy and 5 in that of his sworn or exreme enemy. This Bala (Strength) is called Varga viswa. Therefore as per formula the

Vimshodapaka Bala=Swavishwa×Vargavishwa20

In the above example, in the Lagna the Sun will get Vimshopaka Bala of 6 Swavimsha. In the Lagna chart the Sun is in the sign of Mercury who is his extreme or intimate friend. Therefore the Sun will get 18 Varga vishwa.

Therefore,

6 × 1820= 5.4 is the Vimshopaka Bala

In the same way in Hora the Sun will get 2 Swavishwa. In the Hora chart the Sun is in the sign of the Sun. Therefore he will get 18 Vargavishwa. Thus 2 × 1820=1.8

In the same way in

Drekkana 4 × 1020 = 2.00

Navamsha 5 × 1020 = 2.5

Dwadashamsha 2 × 1020 = 1

Trimshamsha 1 × 1020 = 0.5

Adding all these - 5.4 + 1.8 + 2 + 2.5 + 1 + 0.5 = 13.2. Thereofore, the Sun's Vimshopala Bala in shadavarga comes to 13.2.

अथाऽन्यदपि वक्ष्येऽहं मैत्रेय ! त्वं विधारय ।
खेटा: पूर्णफलं दधुः सूर्यात् सप्तमके स्थिताः ॥ २८ ॥

फलाभावं विजानीयात् समे सूर्यनभश्चरे ।
मध्येऽनुपातात् सर्वत्र ह्युदयास्तविंशोपकाः ॥ २९ ॥

28-29. Other sources of strength: O Maitreya ! consider it, now I tell you of other sources of strength. A planet falling 7th from the Sun will yield his full effect and one in the same latitude in comparison to the Sun's will be fully ineffective. In between these two extreme positions a planet gives proportionate effect. In the context of all the planets the consideration of rising and setting is to be made in the Vimshopaka Bala or 20 point strength of the planets.

वर्गविंशोपकं ज्ञेयं फलमस्य द्विजर्षभ! |
यच्च यत्र फलं बुद्ध्वा तत्फलं परिकीर्तितम् ॥ ३० ॥

वर्गविंशोपकं चादावुदयास्तमतः परम् ।
पूर्णं पूर्णेति पूर्णं स्यात् सर्वदैवं विचिन्तयेत् ॥ ३१ ॥

हीनं हीनेति हीनं स्यात् स्वल्पेऽल्पात्यल्पकं स्मृतम्
मध्यं मध्येति मध्यं स्याद्यावत्तस्य दशास्थितिः ॥ ३२ ॥

30-32. Dasa effects with Vimshopaka strength: O Excellent of the Brahmins! After assessing the Vimshopaka strength of the various vargas of the planets the effect thereof, whatever and wherever it is, should be predicted. The rising and setting of the planets, along with the varga Vimshopaka is also to be considered. The varga Vimshopaka is classified as under. In the Poorna Vimshopaka it is Poorna and Ati Poorna, in Madhya, Madhya and Ati Madhya, in Ileena - Heena and Ati Heena and in Swalpa - Swalpa and Ati Swalpa - these are the two kinds of each. The effects of Dashas and Antardashas of the planets should also be considered according to their Vimshopaka strength.

The learned astrologer of Predictive Astrology Shri R. Santhanam has given the benefical effects according to these grades which are respectively (1) 87.5 - 100% (2) 75.0 to 87.5% (3) 62.5 to 75.0% (4) 50.0 to 62.5% (5) 37.5 to 50% (6) 25.0 to 37.5% (7) 12.5 to 25% (8) 0 to 12.5%.

33-36. O Suvrata Maitreya, Listen to me, I tell you of other things also. Lagna, the Fourth, Seventh and Tenth Houses have the designation of Kendras (Angles): the Second, Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh are to be known by the designation of Panaphara (succedents) and; the remaining, the Third, Sixth, Ninth and Twelfth Houses, O Brahmin have their designation as Apoklima (cadents) The fifth and ninth houses from the ascendant are called Kone or trine. The Sixth, Eighth and Dwadasha-these three are designated as Dusa Houses and Trika sthanas (Evil Houses) The Fourth and Eighth houses, O excellent Brahmin, are called (चतुरस) Chaturasras, The Third, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh Houses are referred to by the name of (उपचय) upachaya (Vridhhi).

तनुर्धनं च सहजो बन्धुपुत्रारयस्तथा ।

संक्षेपेणैतदुदितमन्यद् बुद्धयूनुसारतः ।
किञ्चिद्विशेषं वक्ष्यामि यथा ब्रह्ममुखाच्छ्रुतम् ॥ ३८ ॥

37 - 38. Tanu, Dhan, Sahaja, Bandhu, Putra, Ari, Yuvati, Randhra, Dharma, Karma, Laabha and Vyaya are in order the names of the 12 houses. I explain these to you in brief. Other things than these should be understood according to one's own intelligence. Now I will tell you of some new things which I heard from the speech of Lord Brahma.

Tanu is to be considered for physique.

Dhan is to be considered for wealth.

Sahaja is to be considered for younger brother or sister

Bandhu is to be considered for social relationship and brotherhood

Putra is to be considered for Progeny

Ari is to be considered for enemy or enemies

Yuvati is to be considered for wife.

Randhra is to be considered for span of life

Dharma is to be considered for Religion

Karma is to be considered for Livelihood

Laabha is to be considered for Gains

Vyaya is to be considered for Expenditure

Other books on Astrology have given different names to these houses. They also indicate the subjects (objects or relatives) that are to be considered from them.

नवमेऽपि पितुर्ज्ञानं सूर्याच्च नवमेऽथवा ।
यत्किञ्चिदशमे लाभे तत्सूर्याद्दशमे भवे ॥ ३९ ॥

तुर्ये तनौ धने लाभे भाग्ये यच्चिन्तनं च तत् ।

यद्भावाद्यत्फलं चिन्त्यं तदीशात्तत्फलं विदुः ।
ज्ञेयं तस्य फलं तद्धि तत्र चिन्त्यं शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ४३ ॥

39-43. The Ninth house from the Ascendant and the ninth house from the Sun give us knowledge about one's father. Whatever matters are to be considered from the study of the 10th and the 11th houses from the ascendant may also be known from the 10th and 11th from the Sun. The matters that are considered from the first, fourth, second, ninth and eleventh houses from the Ascendant those must also be considered from the first, fourth, Second, ninth and eleventh houses from the Moon. All those matters that are to be considered from the third house from the ascendant are also to be analysed from the third house from Mars. The consideration of those matters that are known from the 6th house from the ascendant is also to be done from the 6th house from Mercury. The consideration of Progeny is to be made from the fifth house from Jupiter, that of spouse from the seventh house from Venus and, that of death and longevity from the 8th house from Saturn. Expenditure is to be known from the 12th house from Saturn also. The effects that are considered from the study of a particular house are also to be known from the study of the Lord of that house. The effect of it should be known from that and it may be thought of as auspicious or inauspicious accordingly.

Similarly, the 5th House from Jupiter is studied with regard to progeny. Other matters related to the 5th House may also be studied with it; the 7th House from Venus is examined for wife/partner and so other matters related to the 7th House should also to be studied with it; and the 8th and the 12th Houses from saturn are studied for general significations of the 8th and the 12th House from the Asecndant.
