The Bhava Chalit Chart makes a big difference for charts where the Lagna degree is away from the midpoint of the Rashi.Īs with most Vedic astrology concepts there is more than one way of calculating the same thing. When the Lagna degree is at the midpoint of the Rashi itself, around 15 degrees, the Rashi chart and the Bhav Chalit chart will be exactly the same. This movement of the house table happens when we draw the Bhava Chalit chart relative to the actual Lagna degree and not the Rashi degrees. So the Bhava Chalit chart moves the houses. This is based on the assumption that the first house begins at the degree that the Rashi that the Lagna Rashi begins at.īhav means house and Chalit means mobile or movement. For example, in a Rashi chart, if the Lagna is in Rishaba (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini) is the second house, Kark (Cancer) is the third house and so on.

This is because the Lagna is the place from which the houses of the chart are counted. The Lagna or ascendant is the key to the birth chart. The lordship of the Rashi and the placement of that Graha is of great importance. When we interpret a chart we look at the Rashi that the planet is placed in. These Rashis are the basic foundation of any birth chart.Įach Rashi is owned by a Graha. These Rashis are labelled Mesha (Aries), Rishaba (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Kark (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrishik (Scorpio), Dhanus (Saggitarius), Makara (Capricorn), Kumbha (Aquarius) and Meena (Pisces). This chart is vital in the determination of which house each planet actually falls into.Īnyone who is familiar with the basics of astrology knows that the Rashis are the divisions of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac into twelve sections of 30 degrees each.

The Bhava Chalit chart is a chart that is used to find the position of the planets in the houses relative to the actual Lagna degree.
