Dwadasamsa chart Calculation

In D12 chart, each sign is divided into 12 parts of 2°30´. Each unit is called Dwadasamsa; Dwadasa -12, amsa- unit. There are about 144units for all 12 signs.

1 Dwadasamsa= 30° /12- 2°30´.

The planet’s longitude is noted accurately and the Dwadasamsa unit is mapped. D12 chart is created by positioning the planets based on the amsa. The chart counting will start from the same sign where the planet is placed in D1chart. 

Example:  Lagna is in Scorpio at 7°,  Jupiter in Taurus at 28°47’ and Sun is in Pisces at 21°14’. In D12 chart,

Lagna is in the 3rd amsa, so lagna is placed in Capricorn (3rd sign from Scorpio)

Jupiter is in 12th amsa, it is placed in Aries(12th sign from Taurus)

Sun is in 9th amsa, so it is placed in Scorpio (9th sign from Pisces)

Common interpretation on Dwadasamsa D12 Chart

  • Sun is the Karaka for Father, Moon is the karaka for Mother; Jupiter and Mercury are the karakas for Paternal and maternal grandparents. The position of these planets in the D12 chart determine the benefits a native can receive from the family.
  • If the ascendant is occupied by a benefic planet or if the lord of the ascendant occupies 2nd, 5th 9th or 11th houses, the native enjoys warmth and continued support from the family.
  • The reverse of the above i.e if the ascendant is occupied by a malefic planet or lord is exalted in those houses, the native is deprived of parental affection and grows to be a depressed child.
  • If Sun is well placed and strengthened by the presence of benefic planets or aspected by friendly planets, the native enjoys great paternal love and  inheritance; also becomes a well learned scholar.
  • 4th house denotes life span and nature of the father; 6th house denotes genetic inheritance from the parents (hereditary diseases) and 11th house represents the wealth gains from ancestors and elders of the family.
  • If 6th, 8th and 12th houses are occupied by malefic planets or debilitated, the native will not receive any support or love from the father. Native suffers a strained relationship as well.
