What is navamsa (D9)?
Explainer · reviewed August 2026
Navamsa (D9) is the ninth harmonic / ninefold division of each sign. ePandit computes the ascendant’s navamsa rashi by mapping sidereal longitude × 9 (mod 360) into a rashi. Other vargas (D2, D3, D7, D10, D24, D30) are handled in our varga module.

Engine detail
Ascendant navamsa rashi is derived from nine times the ascendant’s sidereal longitude, wrapped into 360°, then mapped to a rashi. Time-unknown profiles skip several other vargas.

ePandit checks these rules against your own birth chart, and shows which are sourced to a classical text and which are our engine's.
