How to Study the Trimsamsa Chart?
- Note where Lagna lord is going. If Lagna lord of D30 is going into 6, 8, 12 then it’s not considered good. This is applicable for any divisional chart. However, in D30, weakness of Lagna lord shows inability of the native
- If Ketu is in Lagna, the native has no interest in rectifying his past life mistakes and will continue to make the mistakes. On the other hand, if Rahu is in lagna, then the native actions become poison for them.
- Since D30 shows our shadow side, it’s essential to study the chart from the 8th house. It’s especially significant to study diseases. For example, the 12th house is the 5th (future) of the 8th house. So the 12th house of D30 will show recovery from diseases. A planet like Saturn will not bode well here as it will make all the efforts NIL. Thus, Saturn in the 12th of D30 native will not be able to recover from diseases easily.
- Similarly, we can study the 6th house of D30. Since the 6th house is the 11th house from 8th house, it will show what desires made the native commit bad deeds.
- 4th is 9th (dharma) from 8th house. Hence, happiness and laughter are the best medicine to get out of debt and diseases. Clean heart is important to recover from diseases.
- Similarly, you can study the Arudha padas too…most significant pada to study in D30 is A6 (pada of 6th house) as it will show which part will be afflicted.
- If Rahu or Ketu is sitting in the 8th house, then surely the person will contract some disease during their dashas.
- Strength of Mars and Venus in d30 will decide the willpower of the native in recovering from debt and diseases. If they are weak, they must be remedies to improve the willpower.
- Study the badhakesh lord, as during the dasha of badhak lord also, the native can suffer from health ailments.
