Planets in signs and houses HAVING A LOOK AT NAVAMSA

In Vedic Astrology the Navamsa or 9th Harmonic chart is said to be a microscopic view of the 9th House and therefore the hidden undercurrent of our fate. The Navamsa serves many purposes. Out of all the Varga charts it is the one who is the constant companion of our main natal chart, the Rasi Chakra. It shows the underlying strength and weaknesses of planets in the Rasi. It is the reinforcement for better or worse of what is portended in our main horoscope. It heightens certain aspects of ourself and life. It is considered to be a marriage chart and shows the type of marriage interaction we might have and the description of the partner. It is said to give greater glimpse into the deities which are governing our spiritual progress and final emancipation; and greater glimpse into the mind of the soul. 

The sign and ruler of the Navamsa Ascendant emphasizes that part of our character which will play an important role in our lives. For instance a person with a Scorpio Ascendant in the Rasi Chakra is usually seen as one who is secretive, interested in occult, powerful at emotional expression, interested in sexuality and different forms of energy, perceptive and a good psychologist. If Saggitarius rises in the navamsa then that person's second house in the Rasi Chart (Saggitarius falls in 2nd house) becomes a very important part of that person's Scorpionic nature. The person channels alot of their Scorpio nature in a resourceful manner through their speech, visionary insight and in a very philosophical, friendly way (2nd house and Saggitarian themes). If Jupiter, the lord of the Navamsa Ascendant is placed in the 7th amsa in Gemini, the person's philosophical tendencies via their Scorpionic character is amplified during one to one contact or in partnership stituations. The position of Jupiter in the Rasi Chart is particularly important because the Navamsa is highlighting it's role and if Jupiter were in Leo in the 10th House in the Rasi, that person has to express their philosophical communicative nature in one to one situations in their career or public domain and be recognised for it. This becomes one of the main recognizable traits of that person and their general life pattern and gives us an important glimpse into the soul's purpose.
