Types of Charts
The Horoscope, also known as Rasi chart or Natal chart, shows the planetary positions of various
planets at the time of birth of a person.
We know the horoscope contains 12 houses and each house is represented by a
Zodiac sign. The Zodiac sign can be further divided,
called "Divisions" for a finer forecast. It is like Zooming inside the sign or microscopic view of the sign.
If a sign is divided by 9 parts (9 quarters or pada of a star) and a chart is prepared showing on which quarter of the star
a planet is placed, it is known as D-9 chart or Navamsa chart. Similarly, if a sign is divided by 10 parts (30 degrees of a
sign is divided by 10 parts, each 3 degree) and a chart is prepared showing on which 3 degree a planet is placed,
it is known as D-10 or Dashamsa chart.
