Caveat Emptor **Accuracy of divisional charts depends

entirely on accuracy of birth time..**
Varga charts can be exceptionally useful.
However, if accurate birth time is not
available, divisional charts are
misleading, and should be ignored.

BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha.

 Dreshkamsha.  These are totally 36, counted from

Mesha,
o repeating thrice at the rate of
12 per round.

The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a

Rashi

o are its three Dreshkhamsha

and are, respectively, lorded by

3. Narada,
4. Agasthya
5. Durvasha."

Quotations From: David Frawley. the
Astrology of the Seers, p. 186:
"In this harmonic
 the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00deg 00'-
10 deg 00' of any sign ruled by itself.
 The middle 1/3,10 degrees 00'-20
degrees 00', is ruled by the
subsequent sign of the same element.
 The last 1/3, 20 degrees 00'-30
degrees 00', is ruled by the final sign
of the same element.

For example,

the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the

harmonic third of Sagittarius,

 the second 1/3 in the harmonic third

of Aries,
 and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third
of Leo.

Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at

15 degrees 20' Sagittarius,

 it would be in the harmonic third of

Aries.

Western astrology has long used the

decanate but usually calculates it differently.

 It makes the first third of a sign that

of the Cardinal sign of the element,
 the second that of the Fixed sign
 and the last that of the Mutable sign.
 Hence, it sees the first third of
Sagittarius as Aries, the second as
Leo and the third as Sagittarius."
Field of Psychic Expectation for
Matters of:
 Siblings and Cousins
 collaborators and team-mates
 thought-group, cohort, entourage,
ensemble performance group
 Fruits (11) of Mental Skill (3)
1. To determine the prognosis for
siblings, cousins, commercial success
regarding competitors (not enemies),
communication patterns, look first
(of course) to all the effects
upon Bhratru bhava itself. Bhratru
bhava defines one's function on
teams, in meetings, in conversations,
in small groups.
2. The house which defines and
energizes
siblings/competitors/courage sits in
3/11 angle to the radix lagna. Tanu
Bhava = physical body, appearance,
social stigma based on your
appearance, vitality, musculature,
identity.
3. Clearly, achieving good siblings and
worthy competitors is one of the
central goals of taking birth in a
particular class of physical body.
4. Then look to the condition of bhava-
1 in the radix. Will tanu bhava
generate the community support (11)
and personal courage (3) necessary to
realize its goals? Can it generate
charismatic attractiveness, vitality
necessary for competition,
enthusiasm for life and strong
personal identity?
5. Outcome depends on
the relationship between the 3/11
houses, their rulers and their
 occupants .
6. Once the radix 3/11 relationship is
established, look for confirmation of
the fruits of the 1st house in the third
divisional chart: D-3/Drekkana.
Drekkana reveals fine detail of how
the results of taking a particular class
and composition of physical body
will manifest in physical, electro-
magnetic emotional, and mental
communication patterns.
7. The central result of having a body
being the development of
coordinated physical, mental, social,
and emotional communication
patterns, we gain from Drekkana
(presuming an accurate birth time) a
confirming level of detail regarding
siblings/competitors/small group
process. D-3 shows small-group
collective thought patterns and this
view can help the Jyotishi evaluate
the native 's mental health.

Gracious and abundant planets in drekkana

indicate successful spiritual work in
creatively developing one's self and others.

If one has tapped into divine identity as it

manifests in small-group process, one will
likely be empowered by strong and
supportive siblings, close neighbors, and
team-mates.

 Conflicted planets in drekkana

indicate unresolved psychic difficulty
in the native 's subconscious, which
will manifest in this life in the
intimate mirror of relationships to
siblings and team-mates.

The good news is, as always: if


Predictions that can be partially

Disambiguation Drekkana vs
Drekkana:
unconsciously-continued patterns arise into
consciousness,karma is transformed into
wisdom and negative implications of the
astrological charts may be reversed.
helpfulness of siblings to the native, fate of
siblings themselves
D-3 is a key to longevity prediction, because
the lord of the 22nd dreshkhamshais
associated with physical death
Lord of the 22nd dreshkhamsha is easily
seen = graha ruling the 8th rashi from D-3
lagna = lord of the 8th Dreshkona
There are also predictive uses for the Sarpa
dreshkhamsha and the Phasha dreshkhamsha
 "Sarpa" Dreshkona = serpent
decanates = 1st and 2nd decanate of
Karkata; 1st and 2nd decanate of
Vrischika; 2nd and 3rd decanate of
Meena
BPL linguistic note: the D-3 varga now
commonly called 'drekkana' was probably
originally called the 'dreshkhamsha', but
may have changed over time, by Analogy, to
match the Greek term dekka (10,
decanate) .
the proper dekkana or table of decanates
merged also probably by analogy into
'drekkana'. This process of gradual merging
of similar sounds by analogy happens in all
languages.
