How to read this square

  • The diamond at the top centre is always the 1st house — the lagna.
  • From there the houses run anticlockwise: 1, 2, 3 and so on.
  • In a real chart the number written in each compartment is the SIGN, not the house — the house is known from its position. That is why the numbers in a printed kundli look out of order.
  • The shape never changes. Only the signs and the planets in it do.

The D10 is drawn in exactly this shape. The compartments do not change — only which signs and planets land in them, because each sign is cut into 10 parts and re-counted.

What it is read for

The D10 (Dasamsa) divides each sign into 10 parts and rebuilds the whole chart from those parts. It is read for career and public standing. A planet can look strong in the birth chart and weak here, and that is the point: the birth chart shows the promise, the divisional chart shows whether it is delivered.

How it is computed

Each 30° sign is cut into 10 equal parts of 3.00° each, and each part is mapped to a sign by the rule for this varga. Your planet's exact degree decides which part it falls in — which is why the birth TIME matters: a few minutes moves a planet across a boundary and the whole D10 changes.

If you want to act on this

A remedy in jyotish is an act, not a purchase — a fast, a mantra, a donation on the right weekday. Where a formal ritual is called for, these are the three that apply: a puja performed on your behalf, a chadhawa offered at the temple, or an abhimantrit article energised with the mantra of the planet involved.

Not sure what this means for your own chart?

Ask the astrologer — it reads your chart, not a general rule, and answers in plain words.
