The Rasi chart indicates the location of planets and important aspects such as position of Gulika and Lagna.

Navamsa Chart in Astrology

The navamsa chart is also said to affect the latter half of an individual's life and a positive or favourable navamsa chart indicates improvement of relations, albeit slowly, especially if the rasi chart is not favourable.

On the other hand, if a navamsa chart has Kuja plus Shani in the lagna or ascendant, it denotes conflicts in marital relations. If this occurs with an otherwise positive rasi positions, there might be conflicts that may occur in the life of the individual.

Generally, an astrologer will not tell her predictions without having a look at the Navamsa Chart of an individual. In essence, the Navamsa chart is essential to accurately study and make predictions. And yet, the navamsa chart alone is not sufficient if one needs still more accurate predictions. We need the bhava chart, the drekkana chart, hora chart , trisamsa chart, the saptamsa chart and the sashtiamsa chart if we want the most accurate predictions. But, most people just stop with the Rasi and the Navamsa charts.

Navamsa literally means nine aspects. This means that each house in the rasi chart has to be split into 9 parts. You all know that each rasi consists of 2 and 1/4 nakshatras. So, each rasi has 9 nakshatra padhams. Each of these padham will become one part of the split.
