Traditional Vedic Astrology

Syllabus Year 2 (Kaam Ayana)

The popular ṣoḍasavarga (sixteen divisions or divisional charts) is based on the hypothesis that Man (Rāśi Chart) is not divorced from his environment (Divisional charts). This primary model along with smaller schemes of Daśā Varga (ten chart model), Sapta Varga or Shad Varga has been dealt with in this course.

The Vimsopaka scheme and other mathematical tools to estimate the strength of the planets, their dignities by placement in strong divisions etc, have been included in Year II.

There are various methods for drawing these Divisional charts and each of these has a different usage depending on the principle behind its construction.
