Free Navamsa Chart (D9): the marriage and inner-self chart
The Navamsa is the second-most important chart in Vedic astrology after the Rashi (D1). Vidhata computes your D9 with Lahiri ayanamsa, flags vargottama planets and reads it alongside your D1 for a complete picture.
Navamsa (literally "ninth division") splits each rashi of 30 degrees into nine equal parts of 3 degrees 20 minutes. Each navamsa carries a sign and a sign lord, so a planet in any rashi sits in one of nine sub-signs. Read together, the D1 shows the visible life and the D9 shows the inner self, the spouse, dharma and the strength of each planet.
Classical sources (BPHS, Phaladeepika) treat the Navamsa as a stress test for the natal chart. A planet exalted in D1 but debilitated in D9 weakens; a planet that stays in the same sign in both D1 and D9 (vargottama) is strengthened. For marriage analysis, the 7th lord and Venus (or Jupiter for women) in D9 carry as much weight as their D1 placement. Vidhata shows the D9 with the same care it gives D1.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Navamsa chart?+
Navamsa (D9) is the ninth divisional chart in Vedic astrology. Each rashi of 30 degrees is split into nine 3°20' parts, and each part carries its own sign. A planet's Navamsa shows its inner strength and (for the 7th lord and Venus / Jupiter) marriage indications.
Why is Navamsa called the "marriage chart"?+
Classical texts assign the 7th house of the Navamsa primary weight for spouse indications. Venus in D9 (for men) and Jupiter in D9 (for women) describe the partner. The D9 reads what the D1 hints at.
What is vargottama?+
A planet in the same rashi in both D1 and D9 is called vargottama. It is a marker of strength: the planet performs reliably across both charts. Lagna can also be vargottama.
How is Navamsa calculated?+
For movable signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) the Navamsa starts from the same sign. For fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) it starts from the 9th from the sign. For dual signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) it starts from the 5th. Each sign's 30 degrees split into nine 3°20' parts.
Should I read D1 or D9 first?+
D1 first. D9 modifies and stress-tests what D1 shows. A weak D1 planet that strengthens in D9 still has visible-life challenges; a strong D1 planet that weakens in D9 has inner doubt.
