In Sanskrit, “Nava” means graha. That is why Navamsha is called “Grahamsa” too.

Ø  Similarly “Dwadasa” means Surya, so dwadasamsa is called “Suryamsa” too. Because another name for number twelve is “surya”.

Ø  According to Parasara, Navamsa Kundli is supposed to be regular i.e. in order of zodiac signs. Means 1^st Navamsa of Mesha Rashi will be in Mesha sign only. So if we divide sign Mesha in 9parts, first nine Navamsha’s will be of first nine Rashis (i.e. Mesha to Dhanu).

è Then first Navamsa of Vrishabha sign will be in Capricorn.

Ø  Vrishabh Navamsa native has tendency to doubt everyone.

Vargottama Rashis

Ø  In movable signs, own sign Navamsa will be in the first amsa of that sign.

In fixed signs, own sign Navamsa will be in the fifth amsa of that sign.

In dual signs, own sign Navamsa will be in the last amsa of that sign.

è If we consider Mesha as “Pratham Rashi or Brahma Rashi”. Vrishabha as “Dwitiya Rashi or Vishnu Rashi”. Mithuna as “Tritiya or Shiva Rashi”. Then beginning relates more to Brahma, middle relates more to Vishnu, and end relates more to Shiva.

è So first Varga of “Pratham or Aarambh Rashi” is called Vargottam. As Brahma is connected with beginning, so it has energies of Brahma. Mesha, Karka, Tula and Makara are classified under “Aarambh Rashi”.

5^th Varga of “Madhyam Rashi” is called Vargottam. As Vishnu is connected with “Madhyam”, so it has energies of Vishnu. Vrishabha, Simha, Vrischika and Kumba are “Madhyam Rashis”

Last Varga “Tritiya Rashi” is called Vargottam. As Shiva is connected with “End”, so it has energies of Shiva. Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanu and Meena are “Tritiya or Shiva Rashi.”

è If any planet is placed in Vargottam Rashi, All characteristics of that planet are seen in the native due to blessings of deity related to the Rashi (i.e. Brahma’s Blessings for Movable Rashi Vargottam, Vishnu’s Blessings for Fixed Rashi Vargottam, Shiva’s Blessings for Dual Rashi Vargottam)

Ø  Results of different grahas placed in vargottam rashi:

Mercury: Good speech, Good learning and understanding

Jupiter: Wisdom, supreme intelligence

Venus: Tremendous willpower, Good Ojas

Moon: Very strong mind

Sun: Leadership

Ketu: Powerful Mathematics, intuition

Mars: Good physical strength

Rahu: Power to break all boundaries

Saturn: Power to tolerate grief

If Lagna is Vargottam: Long life
