Divisional Charts for Marriage (D9, D7, D10)
Quick answer
Divisional charts zoom into one area of life: the Navamsa (D9) is the confirming chart for marriage and the spouse, Saptamsha (D7) covers children, and Dashamsha (D10) covers career. A promise seen in the birth chart is only reliable when the relevant divisional chart supports it — which is why a strong 7th house with a weak D9 rarely delivers a smooth marriage. The Chalit chart then checks which house a planet truly influences.
Divisional charts are the difference between a general reading and a precise one. For marriage questions, the Navamsa is not optional.
The articles below explain each chart in plain language and show how they are used together.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Navamsa (D9) chart used for?
The D9 chart is used to confirm the strength of the 7th house, judge the spouse and assess the second half of life. A planet strong in D9 delivers its promise far more reliably.
What is the difference between the Lagna and Chalit chart?
The Lagna chart places planets by sign; the Chalit chart places them by house cusp. A planet can sit in one sign but influence the neighbouring house — the Chalit chart reveals that.
Do I need an exact birth time for divisional charts?
Yes. Divisional charts change quickly with birth time, so an uncertain time should be rectified before drawing conclusions from the D9.
