Dwadashamsha (D-12)

Dodecatemoria  (also called a dwadasamsa, dwadachamsha, dwad or duad) is 1/12 of a zodiacal sign.

The dwadasama was developed by Hindu astrologers who broke the 30 degree sign down into 12 equal parts of 2.5 degrees each.

Each Varga represents a different and specially-defined area of life. Each Varga Charts or Divisional Charts deliver a supreme statement about a very special and defined area of your life.

Basic Understanding before we more further:

    To see details of the father in Dwadashamsha , find either
    9th-from-lagna or 9th-from-Surya in the D-12(whichever is stronger).

    To see details of the mother in Dwadashamsha,
    find 4th-from-lagna or 4th-from-Chandra in the D-12 - (whichever is stronger).

    For father, see also the bhratru-karaka, which is the graha holding the 3rd-highest degree in any rashi.

    For mother, see also the matru-karaka, which is the graha holding the 4th-highest degree in any rashi.

    For father, see Surya and Guru. Graha in dharma bhava, and dharmesha-9, for the material relationship with Father and his moral belief system. 9th-from-Chandra for the emotional relationship with father.

 

    First husband in a woman's nativity, see Guru and the dhara-karaka.

    For mother, see Chandra. Graha in Bandhu bhava, and bandesha-4, for the material relationship with Mother and her cultural manners and roots.

    Wifely-companion displayed in a masculine nativity, see Shukra and the dhara-karaka.

 

From this Divisional Chart we can learn about native’s parents and grandparents. This is also called as ‘Suryamsha’ Here each sign is divided into 12 sections of 2°30´each. Any division starts at D-1 Lagna and covers all the 12 signs.

Parashara has assigned certain deities for each divisions

  • 1, 5 and 9 – Ganesha
  • 2, 6 and 10 – Ashwini Kumara
  • 3, 7 and 11 – Yama
  • 4, 8 and 12 – Vasuki

 

The four Dwadashamsha Deities are as follows:

Ganesha
Ashwini
Yama
Haya (or Vasuki/ Sarpa/Serpent).

They rule over one division each, infusing each division with the qualities of their particular powerful spiritual nature.

Who are these deities?

 

Ganesha and Ashwini Dwadashamashas are benefic:

Ganesha:

If you have a planet in a Ganesha sector of your D12 Dwadasamsa chart, that planet will be blessed, because the legacy of your ancestors will lead to initiation of new tasks, spiritual knowledge, and destruction of obstacles on your path of material and spiritual development. Your ancestors will promote encouragement, protection and education to a planet here.

Ashwins:

If you have a planet in the Ashwini sectors of your Dwadashamsha chart, because these are the Divine Horsemen, the Divine physicians, their nature is to bring fast healing. Situations will arise in your life needing healing resources, methods and consciousness. It indicates a nurturing and caring legacy from your ancestors, a benefic influence from your parents/ancestry.

 

Yama and Sarpa Dwadashamashas are more malefic in nature:

Yama:

Yama is the god of death who leads the disembodied souls into one of the darker or brighter regions of the astral world according to each individual’s merit. If you have a planet occupying one of his sectors in your Dwadashamsha chart, there will be issues of control and restraint and discipline, and of preparation for death around the nature of that planet.

 

Haya: (or Vasuki/Sarpa/Serpent)

If you have a planet in Sarpa, Haya, or Hayagriva Sectors of your D12 chart, this means that a ‘serpent energy’ or ‘death and rebirth’ quality will apply to the affairs of that planet in your life. Knowledge and wisdom will be used to overcome demonic or dark forces, and thus give peace and prosperity. Knowledge and understanding will be needed to overcome difficulties or realize the knowledge and understanding obtained, even after all else is left behind. The passing of time and manifestation of unwanted or uncalled for karmic reactions, which are activated by the time factor, will be an issue to be dealt with, so as to manifest higher residual knowledge during the passage of our life.

Indicators of D12 charts

 

# Happiness of native from parents

If a benefic planet occupies the ascendant or if the lord of the ascendant occupies 2nd, 5th, 9th, or 11th houses, the native enjoys the warmth and continues support from the family.

The reverse of the above, i.e., if a malefic planet occupies the ascendant or lord is exalted in those houses, the native is deprived of parental affection and grows to be a depressed child.

 

# Social and financial status of parents

If Sun is well placed and strengthened by the presence of benefic planets or aspected by friendly planets, the native enjoys great paternal love and Inheritance; also becomes a well-learned scholar.

 

# longevity of parents

The 4th house denotes the life span and nature of the father. The 6th house indicates a genetic inheritance from the parents (hereditary diseases).

 

# benefits received by native from paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents

11th house represents the wealth gains from ancestors and elders of the family.

If the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses are occupied by malefic planets or debilitated, the native will not receive any support or love from the father. The native suffers a strained relationship as well.

 

Karaka planets

The planet’s longitude is noted accurately, and the Dwadasamsa unit is mapped. D12 chart is created by positioning the planets based on the AMSA. The chart counting will start from the same sign where the planet is placed in D1chart. 

 

Example:  Lagna is in Scorpio at 7°, Jupiter in Taurus at 28°47’, and Sun is in Pisces at 21°14’.

In the D12 chart,

Lagna is in the 3rd AMSA, so Lagna is placed in Capricorn (3rd sign from Scorpio)

Jupiter is in 12th AMSA. It is placed in Aries(12th sign from Taurus)

Sun is in 9th AMSA, so it is placed in Scorpio (9th sign from Pisces)

 

Lagna is in Scorpio at 7°

Jupiter in Taurus at 28°47’

Sun is in Pisces at 21°14’.

To reposition Lagna in D12, Scorpio is divided into 12 parts. Each part has 2°30’ (Refer Table) i.e. 7° falls in 3rd part.

Counting from Scorpio, Capricorn is in 3rd house.

Based on the above calculation, Capricorn will become  D12 Lagna in this example.

To reposition Jupiter in D12, Taurus is divided into 12 parts. Each part has 2°30’ (Refer Table) i.e. 28°47’ last part (12th part).

Counting from Taurus, Aries is the 12th house.

Based on the above calculation Jupiter will be placed in Aries in D12 chart.

 

Similar is the calculation for  Sun

On dividing Pisces into 12 parts, 21°14’ will fall in 9th part.

Counting from Pisces, Scorpio will be the 9th house. Sun will be placed in Scorpio of D12 chart.
