twesn0ts Varga (astrology) - Wikipodia, the free encyclopedia Varga (astrology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term Varga (Sanskrit varga, ‘set, division’) in Indian astrology (Jyotisha) refers to the division of a zodiacal sign (rasi) into parts. Each such fractional part of a sign, known as an améa, has a source of influence associated with it, so that these sources of influence come to be associated with collections of regions around the zodiac. There are sixteen varga, or divisional, charts used in Jyotisha.!"] These vargas form the basis of a unique system of finding the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of plancts.21 Contents 1 Overview 2 Divisional charts 3 Implication 4 References 5 See also Overview Hindu astrology divides the zodiac into several types of segments; these subtle divisions or divisional charts are called Vargas and are said to be the various micro-zodiaes created within the natural macro-zodiac, the Horoscope] The particular los a yoga, The two sign namely, the R: tion of planets in the Varga charts materially influences the results of planets constituting of vargas that are commonly used are —a) the Shadvarga icc. the six-fold division of si or sign, the Hora, the Drekkena or decanate, the Navamsa, the Dwadasamsa and the sa, and b) the Saptavarga i.e. the seven-fold division, by tagging the Saptamsa to the Shadvargas.!) Some follow the Dasavargas or the ten-fold division, and in his Brhat PardSara Hordsastra, Parasara speaks about the Shodasvarga or the sixteen-fold division of a rasi. Planets become more and more auspicious by gaining more and more of their own, exalted or friendly vargas, Accordingly, the status thus acquired by planets stands graded for easy identification etc. When a planet acquires two out of sixteen such own or exalted vargas or divisions then it is known to have gained the status called the Parijatamsa or Bhedakamsa, when three vargas are gained then the Uttamamsa or Kusumamsa or Vyanjanamsa, four - the Gopuramsa or Naagpushpamsa or Kimshukamsa or Chaamaramsa, five - the Simhasanamsa or Kundakamsa or Chhatramsa, six — the Parvatamsa or Keralamsa or Kundalamsa, seven — the Devalokamsa or Kalpavrkshamsa or Mukatamsa, eight — the Kumkumamsa or Brahmalokamsa or Chandanvanamsa, nine — hiipilon wikipedia. gwikiVarga_(astrlogy) watwesn0ts Varga (astrology) - Wikipodia, the free encyclopedia the Iravatamsa or Poornachandramsa, ten — the Vyshnavamsa or Shridham or Ucchaishrvamsa, eleven — the Saivamsa Dhanvantriamsa, twelve — the Bhaswadamsa or Suryakantamsa, thirteen — the Vaisheshikamsa or Vidrumamsa, fourteen — the Indrasanamsa, fifteen — the Golokamsa, and sixteen — the Shrivallabhamsa (Brhat Paraéara Horasastra Slokas 42-51) (Sarvartha Chintamani St.32-35). Divisional charts The Brhat Parasara Horasastra defines sixteen divisional schemes,!°! each named according to the denominator of the fraction specific to the division. Thus, the integral fraction is division by 1, which yields, trivially, 12 regions of the zodiac corresponding to the 12 signs themselves: perforce this varga scheme is named rasi. Similarly, a divisor of 2 defines 24 regions; the name hora, derived from the word 3481-37F (aho-ratra) meaning day-night by removing the first 37 (a) and last sounds 7 (tra) (Reference: Saravali by Kalyanaverma (Sanskrit Classic)}, is etymologically related to the analogous 24 hours in a day. The divisor of 3 defining 36 regions, named dreshkana, is similarly related to the Decans of Chaldean horology.
