Divisional Charts (Vargas)

Use a divisional chart when you need a specific Varga view of a birth chart. Ascendant supports sixteen divisions, and each call gives you a twelve-house dictionary with sign, planet, and Lagna data.

Choose a division

Choose from these supported divisions:

Calculate a chart

For example, calculate the Navamsa (D9) chart:

from ascendant import Ascendant

# Create `astro` as shown in Getting Started.
# Calculate the Navamsa (D9) chart.
d9_chart = astro.get_chart(division=9)

# Inspect the house numbers (1-12), signs, and planet data.
for house, data in d9_chart.items():
    print(f"House {house}: Sign {data['sign']}")
    for planet in data['planets']:
        print(f"  - {planet['name']} at {planet['longitude']:.2f}°")

Each planet includes its longitude, retrograde status, sign relationship, sign lord, Nakshatra, Nakshatra lord, and Pada. Use these values to ground an interpretation in the calculated placement rather than a rendered chart alone.

Passing a division outside the supported list raises ValueError.
