IntroductionThe Rashi is divided into several

divisions such as Hora (1/2), Drekkana

(1/3), Chaturtamsa (1/4), Panchamsa

(1/5), Shastamsa (1/6), Saptamsa (1/7),

Ashtamsa (1/8), Navamsha (1/9),Dashamsa (1/10), Dwadashamsa (1/12),

Shodashamsa (1/16), Vimshamsa (1/20),

Siddhamsa (1/24), Bhamsa (1/27),

Trimshamsa (1/30), Khavedamsa (1/40),

Akshavedamsa (1/45), Shastiamsa (1/60),

Navamsha-Navamsha (1/81), Navamsha-

Dwadashamsa (1/108) etc., representing

different aspects of life. It is known how

to prepare these different divisional

charts though with some differences in

the approach. But there is no published

literature for the correct utilization of

these charts in interpreting the results.

Nadi Amsha is the subtlest in the

division of the Rashi. Some of the

published literature on Nadi amshas has

given the results. But nowhere it is

T

published how to prepare the Nadi amsha chart and to interpret the results.

In this article is given the explanation of the Nadi amshas, methodology to prepare the

Nadi amsha chart and interpretation of Nadi amsha chart, out of my research.

Nadi Amshasy now, most of the readers know what is a Nadi amsha. However, for the benefit

of others, a Nadi amsha is 1/150th part of a rashi. The 30 degrees of rashi divided

by 150 would give 12 minutes of arc (30 degrees multiplied by 60 and divided by

150 is equal to 12 minutes). Thus there are 150 Nadi amshas in a rashi and each Nadi

amsha is of 12 minutes arc. If, on an average, 2 hours duration is taken for each rashi, it

amounts to 48 seconds in time duration (2 hours multiplied by 3600 and divided by 150 is

equal to 48 seconds). These Nadi amshas are given different names to recognize their

interval periods.

The Nadi amshas are numbered in clockwise direction in moveable rashis from

beginning to end of rashi. In fixed rashis, they begin from end to beginning of rashi anti-

clockwise. In dual rashis, they begin from middle of rashi, to the end of rashi then

continue from beginning of rashi and counted upto the middle of rashi. For example, in

Aries moveable rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha, named Vasudha, is from 0 degree to 0 degree 12

minutes, the 2nd Nadi amsha is from 0 degree 12 minutes to 0 degree 24 minutes and soon till the 150th Nadi amsha which is from 29 degree 48 minutes to 30 degrees. In Taurus

fixed rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha of Vasudha is from 29 degrees 48 minutes to 30 degrees,

the 2nd one from 29 degrees 36 minutes to 29 degrees 48 minutes and so on till the last

150th Nadi amsha is from 0 degree to 0 degree 12 minutes. In Gemini dual rashi, the 1st

Nadi amsha of Vasudha is from the middle 15 degrees to 15 degrees 12 minutes, the 2nd

one from 15 degrees 12 minutes to 15 degrees 24 minutes and so on till the 75th Nadi amsha

is from 29 degrees 48 minutes to 30 degrees and then the 76th Nadi amsha starts from the

beginning of 0 degree to 0 degrees 12 minutes, the 77th from 0 degree 12 minutes to 0degree 24 minutes and so on till the 150th one is from 14 degrees 48 minutes to 15 degrees.

Thus it can be seen that 1st Nadi amsha in Aries, the 150th Nadi amsha in Taurus and the

76th Nadi amsha in Gemini are the same. But it does not seem logical to apply this to all

moveable, fixed and dual rashis. There are four sets of moveable, fixed and dual rashis in

the zodiac. They are Aries-Taurus-Gemini, Cancer-Leo-Virgo, Libra-Scorpio-Sagittarius,

and Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces. The above logic applies only within each set. The 1st

Nadi amsha of Cancer, 150th Nadi amsha of Leo, the 76th Nadi amsha of Virgo would be

the same. The 1st Nadi amsha of Libra, the 150th Nadi amsha of Scorpio, the 76th Nadiamsha of Sagittarius would-be the same. The 1st Nadi amsha of Capricorn, the 150th

Nadi amsha of Aquarius, the 76th nadi amsha of Pisces would be the same.

Table of Nadi AmshasFor ready reference, the table of Nadi amshas is given in Appendix I to this article, as

taken from my article A Note on Nadi amshas published by Vedic Astrology

magazine November-December 1998. The list is also given the in the book

Devakeralam by late Sri R. Santhanam and in The Astrological Magazine of late SriB. V. Raman. The names of the Nadi amshas may differ but the duration of the intervals

are the same in all the sources.

Preperation of Nadi Amshas ChartBefore preparing the Nadi amsha chart, it is essential to rectify the given birth time as

per my article Tatwa/Antartatwa Siddhata-Birth Rectification published in The

Times of Astrology magazine June 2002. This method would rectify the birth time to

match the male / female births as per the day, lagna, and Moon star and tatwa upto adifference of 24 seconds in birth time.

An attempt is made here from fundamentals of explanation of Nadi amshas to give a

methodology to prepare a Nadi amsha chart for different sets moveable, fixed and dual

rashis.

Moveable Rashisn moveable rashis, the Nadi amshas are counted clockwise from the beginning to the

end of the rashi. Hence in Aries moveable rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha falls in Aries

itself, the 2nd I Taurus, the 3rd in Gemini and so on till the 150thfall in Virgo. In

Cancer moveable rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha falls in Cancer, the 2nd in Leo, the 3rd in

Virgo and so on till the last 150th falls in Sagittarius. In Libra moveable rashi, the 1st

Nadi amsha falls in Libra, the 2nd in Scorpio, the 3rd in Sagittarius and so on till the

150th falls in Pisces. In Capricorn moveable rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha falls in Capricorn,

the 2nd in Aquarius, the 3rd in Pisces and so on till the 150th falls in Gemini. That means,

if Ascendant (lagna) or any other planet in rashi chart in Aries rashi is in 1st Nadi amsha

of 0 degree to 0 degree 12 minutes, it falls in Aries rashi itself in Nadi amsha chart, if

from 0-12 to 0-24 it falls in Taurus in Nadi chart, and so on till if it is between 29-48 to 30-

00, it should be place in Virgo in Nadi chart. Similarly the ascendant or any other planet

in Cancer, Libra or Capricorn in rashi chart should be place in Nadi chart depending on

the degrees and minutes in rashi chart and the number of the Nadi amsha.

Fixed Rashisn fixed rashis, the Nadi amshas are counted anti-clockwise from the end to thebeginning of the rashi. In Taurus fixed rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha of 29-48 to 30-00 is

the same as the 150th Nadi amsha of 29-48 to 30-00 in Aries moveable rashi. The

150th Nadi amsha in Taurus from 0 degree to 0-12 is the same as the 1st Nadi amsha of 0

degree to 0-12 in Aries. As already explained above, 150th Nadi amsha of Aries falls in

Virgo and 1st falls in Aries. Therefore, the 1st Nadi amsha of Taurus should start from

Virgo and go anti-clockwise, the 2nd from 29-36 to 29-48 in Leo and so on till the 150th of

0 degree to 0-12 falls in Aries. Suppose if ascendant or any planet is in 10-58 in Taurus, it

falls in the 96th Nadi amsha in Taurus from 10-48 to 11-00 and so count 96 anti-clockwise

from Virgo, which would be Libra. Therefore, the ascendant or any planet in 10-58 inTaurus in rashi chart should be placed in Libra in Nadi amsha chart.

Similarly in the second set of moveable-fixed-dual rashis of Cancer-Leo-Virgo, the 1st

Nadi amsha of Leo is the same as the 150th Nadi amsha of Cancer. The 150th Nadi amsha

of cancer is Sagittarius. So the counting of Nadi amshas in Leo should start from

Sagittarius anti-clockwise. If the ascendant or any planet is in 20-51 in Leo, it falls in the

46th Nadi amsha of 20-48 to 21-00 and so count 46 anti-clockwise from Sagittarius, which

would be Pisces. Therefore, the ascendant or any planet in 20-51 in Leo in rashi chartshould be place in Pisces in Nadi amsha chart.

Similarly in the third set of Libra-Scorpio-Sagittarius, the 150th Nadi amsha of Libra falls

in Pisces and so the counting for Nadi amshas in Scorpio should start from Pisces anti-

clockwise. If ascendant or any planet is in 10-58 in Scorpio, which would be the 96th Nadi

amsha and so count 96 anti-clockwise from Pisces, which would be Aries. Therefore, the

ascendant or any planet in 10-58 in Scorpio in rashi chart should be placed in Aries in

Nadi amsha chart.

Similarly in the fourth set of Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces, the counting for Nadi amshas

in Aquarius should start from Gemini which is the 150th in Capricorn. If ascendant or

any planet were in 24-40 in Aquarius, it would be in 27th Nadi amsha and so count 27

anti-clockwise from Gemini, which would be Aries. Therefore the ascendant or any

planet in 24-40 in Aquarius in rashi chart should be placed in Aries in Nadi amsha chart.

Thus the crux is that if the ascendant or any planet is in Taurus, the counting of Nadi

amsha of that should start from Virgo anti-clockwise, if in Leo start counting from

Sagittarius anti-clockwise, if in Scorpio start counting from Pisces anti-clockwise and if

in Aquarius start counting from Gemini anti-clockwise.

Dual Rashisn dual rashis, the Nadi amshas are counted clockwise from the middle to the end of

the rashi and then counting continued from the beginning to the middle of the rashi.

In Gemini dual rashi, the 1st Nadi amsha of 15-00 to 15-12 is the same as the 76th

Nadi amsha of 15-00 to 15-12 in Aries moveable rashi. The 75th Nadi amsha of Gemini

from 29-48 to 30-00 is same as the 150th in Aries. The 76th Nadi amsha in Gemini from 0-

00 to 0-12 is same as the 1st in Aries. The 150th Nadi amsha in Gemini from 14-48 to 15-00

is same as the 75th in Aries i.e. matching with 14-48 to 15-00. As already seen in Aries, the

I


5/16

76th Nadi amsha falls in Cancer, the 150th in Virgo, and the 1st in Aries and the 75th in

Gemini. So the 1st Nadi amsha in Gemini should fall in Cancer, 75th in Virgo, 76th in

Aries and 150th in Gemini. So the counting of Nadi amshas in Gemini should start form

Cancer clockwise from the 1st Nadi amsha till the 75th in Virgo. The 76th in Gemini

should start clockwise from Aries till the 150th in Gemini. Suppose the ascendant or any

planet is in 18-27 in Gemini, it falls in the 18th Nadi amsha in Gemini from 18-24 to 18-36and so count 18 clockwise from Cancer, which would be Sagittarius. Therefore, the

ascendant or any planet in 18-27 in Gemini in rashi chart should be placed in Sagittarius

in Nadi chart. Suppose the ascendant or any planet is in 1-10 in Gemini, it falls in the

82nd Nadi amsha in Gemini from 1 degree to 1-12 and so count 82 clockwise from Aries

taking 76 as Aries, which would be Virgo. Therefore the ascendant or any planet in 1-10

in Gemini in rashi chart should be placed in Virgo in Nadi chart.

Similarly in the second set of moveable-fixed-dual rashis of Cancer-Leo-Virgo, the 1stNadi amsha in Virgo is same as the 76th in Cancer, 75th in Virgo is same as 150th in

Cancer, 76th in Virgo is same as 1st in Cancer and the 150th in Virgo is same as the 75th

in Cancer. The 76th in Cancer falls in Libra. O the counting of Nadi amshas in Virgo

should start from Libra clockwise till the 75th falls in Sagittarius. The 76th in Virgo

should start clockwise from Cancer till the 150th in Virgo. Suppose if the ascendant or

any planet is in 18-27 in Virgo, it falls in the 18th Nadi amsha in Virgo, and to count 18

from Libra clockwise, which would e Pisces. Therefore the ascendant or any planet in 18-

27 in Virgo in rashi chart should be placed in Pisces in Nadi chart.

Suppose the ascendant or any planet is in 1-10 in Virgo, it falls in the 82nf Nadi amsha in

Virgo and so count 82 clockwise from Cancer taking 76 as Cancer, which would be

Sagittarius. Therefore the ascendant or any planet in 1-10 in Virgo in rashi chart should

be place in Sagittarius in Nadi chart.

Similarly in the third set of Libra-Scorpio-Sagittarius, the 1st Nadi amsha in Sagittarius

is same as the 76th in Libra, the 75th in Sagittarius is same as 150th in Libra, 76th in

Sagittarius is same as 1st in Libra and the 150th in Sagittarius is same s 75th in Libra. The76th in Libra falls in Capricorn. So the counting of Nadi amshas in Sagittarius from 1st

to 75th should start clockwise from Capricorn till the 75th in Pisces. The 76th Sagittarius

should start clockwise from Libra till the 150th in Sagittarius. Suppose if the ascendant or

any planet is in 18-27 in Sagittarius, it falls in the 18th Nadi amsha of Sagittarius and so

count 18 from Capricorn clockwise, which would be Gemini. Therefore the ascendant or

any planet in Sagittarius in 18-27 in rashi chart should be placed in Gemini in Nadi chart.

Suppose if the ascendant or any planet is in 1-10 in Sagittarius, it falls in 82nd Nadi

amsha in Sagittarius and so count 82from Libra clockwise taking 786 as Libra, whichwould be Pisces and therefore should be place n Pisces in Nadi chart.


6/16

Similarly in the fourth set of Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces, the counting of Nadi amshas in

Pisces from 1st to 75th should start from Aries clockwise till the 75th falls in Gemini. The

76th Nadi amsha in Pisces should start clockwise from Capricorn till the 150th falls in

Pisces. Therefore the ascendant or any planet in 23-51 in Pisces falls in 45th Nadi amsha

in Pisces from 23-48 to 2 degrees. So count 45 from Aries clockwise, which would be

Sagittarius and therefore should be placed in Sagittarius in Nadi chart. If ascendant orany planet is in 1-10 in Pisces, it falls in 82nd Nadi amsha in Pisces and so count 82 from

Capricorn clockwise taking 76th as Capricorn, which would be Gemini and therefore

should be placed in Gemini in Nadi chart.

Example of Nadi ChartBased on the above methodology, the Nadi chart is given below for the ascendant and

planets in rashi chart.

Rasi Chart: Libra-Ascendant 5-54, Venus 7-4, Rahu 27-16; Capricorn- moon 20-9;

Aquarius- Jupiter 2-7; Pisces- Saturn 23-51; Aries- Ketu 27-16; Leo- Mercury 5-59, Mars 6-

33, Sun 20-51

Nadi Chart: Pisces-Ascendant, Sun, Mars; Taurus-Moon; Leo- Ketu; Virgo-Venus;

Scorpio- Jupiter; Sagittarius-Mercury, Saturn; Aquarius-Rahu

Interpretation of Nadi Charthe person of the above rashi chart is a mechanical engineer retired from

Government Defense Research service. After retirement he continued his hobby

of astrology doing researh, writing articles, giving lectures and consultations,

getting awards in astrology. He also knows Vedanta and Veena musical instrument to

some extent. He has own house and vehicles. He has only one son settled abroad. He

lives on pension & in his own house with his wife studying astrology and Vedanta. He

also travels in India and abroad. He has moderate health.

The above rashi and Nadi charts are broadly analyzed to check which one would give

better interpretation.

In the rashi chart, the 10th house is vacant aspected by the 10th lord Moon. The 10th lords

in 4th alone in Moon star without any aspects from any other planet. From this, it is

difficult to interpret his activities in Defence research, astrology and Vedanta. Venus in

Libra ascendant in own house has not given any proficiency in his musical interests. The

Moon in 4th, the 4th not aspected by any planet and the 4th lord Saturn in 6th house

T


7/16

aspected by Mars should have obstructed having his own house, vehicles and education.

Jupiter in 5th house aspected by Sun, Mercury and Mars and the 5th lord Saturn in 6th

house with exchange (parivartana) with Jupiter should have given more children. The

2nd lord Mars, 9th lord Mercury and 11th lord Sun in 11th should have given big wealth

and prosperity. Ascendant lord Venus in the ascendant and 6th lord Jupiter In 5th with

exchange with Saturn should have given good health. The 9th and 12th lord Mercurywith enemy mars should have obstructed his travels.

In the Nadi chart, Saturn and Mercury in 10th house, 10th and 1st lord Jupiter in Scorpio

of Mars with exchange with Mars would give better interpretation about his activities in

Defense research, astrology and Vedanta. Debilitated Venus has not given much progress

in musical pursuits. The 4th house aspected by 4th lord Mercury, 2nd and 9th lord mars,

11th lord Saturn has given good house, vehicles and education. The 5th house aspected by

Jupiter and 5th lord Moon exalted has given one son. The 2nd and 9th lord Mars inascendant associated with 6th lord Sun and 11th and 12th lord Saturn have given moderate

wealth and prosperity. The 6th lord Sun in ascendant aspected by 8th lord debilitated

Venus has given moderate health though ascendant lord Jupiter aspecting the ascendant.

Jupiter in 9th and 9th lord Mars in ascendant with exchange with ascendant lord Jupiter

and 12th aspected by 11th and 12th lord Saturn has given the travels.

The transits of planets in both the charts can also be compared to check the results

though it is not done here.

Thus from the above broad analysis the Nadi chart gives better interpretation than the

rashi chart.

Conclusionince the Nadi amshas differentiate upto 48 seconds in birth time, it is the subtlest

available means to interpret better results. When there is no published literatureto correctly interpret the all the other known divisional charts, particularly

whether lordship of houses can be taken or not in the divisional charts, it is not claimed

that the analysis of the Nadi chart as given above is correct. It is also not claimed that the

above methodology to prepare the Nadi chart is correct. The idea in writing this article is

to stimulate the expert astrologers to come out with better research to delve deep into this

subject to interpret better results by studying all the divisional charts including the

subtlest Nadi amsha chart and to publish the same for the benefit of others. The subject

of astrology is already having its natural death with superficial knowledge andinterpretations of commercial interest and without any deep research and published

literature. It is an earnest request once again to all the astrologers and other government

S


8/16

and private organizations to do deep research in astrology and publish the same to revive

this great Divine subject.

Appendix INadi Amshas and their Order in Various RashisThe following table is attached to my article A Note on Nadi Amshas by the magazine

Vedic astrology on their own. It is likely that the names may differ by some others.

Note: 1 represents 0 degree to 0 degree 12 minutes, 2 represents 0 degree 12 minutes to 0degree 24 minutes etc till 150 represents 29 degrees 48 minutes to 30 degrees, thus each

nadi amsha increasing by 0 degree 12 minutes.
