You Y ou have the sky itself itself,, which is a complete circle # $e %easure it to have &'(0)*# +ro% there e divide it in di-erent di-ere nt ays to .et astrolo.ic a strolo.ically ally %eanin.ful sections# /ou / ou are %ost fa%iliar fa%iliar ith ho the sy is divided into 12 sections sections the “12
signs of the zodiac” # This division is based on the %ove%ent of the un over the course of a co%3lete Moon cycle 4ho far the un %oves in the sy durin. the course of the Moon .oin. fro% full to ne and bac a.ain# There are are other divisions that are are al%ost e6ually i%3ortant# i%3ortant# The ne7t is the 27 lunar mansions a division of the circle of the sy into 28 3arts, based on the %ove%ent of the Moon over the course of a co%3lete un cycle 4ho far the Moon %oves in the y durin. the course of the un risin., settin. and co%in. bac a.ain# Those to divisions, the un9s and the Moon9s are are uni:ed by a third division division called the &Navamsha * hich literally %eans &;inth Part* 4and hich < abbreviate as &D=>
you ill lin it to the lunar ?odiac because those divisions ill cause e7actly four 3arts in each lunar si.n# This is one reason hy the nava%sha is the %ost si.ni:cant of all the subdivisions of the %ain solar and lunar ?odiacs# @ sort of con:r%ation of the i%3ortance of the nava%sha is that it results in 1!divisions total in the sy# 4= in each si.n, 12 si.nsA =12 10 and 10 is a 3innacle nu%ber in occult nu%erolo.y#

Primary Divisions of the Signs
There are 12 signs in the sy 4@ries, Taurus, He%ini, etc# because the %oon cycles fro% one full %oon to the ne7t 12 ti%es durin. the course of one solar year# The co%3lete year has rou.hly '(0 days, so each %onth ori.inally had a 12th of that %anyE '0 days# Therefore there are '(0) in the entire ?odiac, and each si.n has a '0) slice of that ?odiac# The ne7t %ost i%3ortant division of the sy is into 27 signs, each one coverin. the a%ount of s3ace that the Moon traverses in the course of a sin.le dayE 12 1')# These 28 si.ns are called Iunar Mansions, or ;ashatra# They overlay the 12 solar si.ns in an i%3ortant 3attern buildin. blendin.F brid.es beteen si.ns but creatin. dra%atic chas%s beteen every ater and :re si.n# These :reFater chas%s s3lit the ?odiac into ' su3ersections# Jach lunar %ansion has it9s on characteristics# Thus bein. in one lunar %ansion in a si.n is very di-erent than bein. in another lunar %ansion in the sa%e si.n# The solar si.ns and lunar %ansions are united by the har%onic thread of thenavamsha a division of each si.n into = har%onic slices, hich correlates to each lunar %ansion bein. divided into K slices and reinforces the de3th of the ' ?odiacal chas%s, since these nava%sha slices alays end
ith the :nal si.n, Pisces on the ater side of the chas%, and be.in ith @ries on the :re side of the chas%# Jach slice is ' 1') in len.th# Jven bein. in the sa%e lunar %ansion in a si.n, it ill be 6uite a di-erent 3lace de3endin. on hich nava%asha slice one :nds oneself in, ithin that lunar %ansion because the characteristics of the si.n of that nava%sha slice ill a-ect those ' 1') of the si.n in an underlyin. %anner#
till More Detail There is a lot %ore detail beyond even thisL But before .oin. there let %e :rst e73lain hat < consider to be the ne7t %ost 3ractically i%3ortant consideration after the i.n, Iunar Mansion, and ;ava%shaE the &a.e* of the 3lanet#

/ou should note the basic 3rinci3le is that the closer a 3lanet is toards a33roachin. the %iddle of it9s adulthood 4i#e# the %iddle of the si.n the better o- the 3lanet is# $hile the further the 3lanet has 3ro.ressed 3ast the %iddle of it9s adulthood, the orse of it it# These e-ects can be referenced by an astrolo.er in the course of develo3in. his or her basic inter3retations of the 3lanets in a 3erson9s chart, and they are 3articularly i%3ortant hen ascertainin. the e-ects that a 3lanet ill cause durin. it9s dasha 4chronolo.ical cycle# ;o, if you as %e, that is fantastically useful infoL
&ore 'armonic (ivisions $e already %entioned one of the %any har%onic divisions, the =th division ornavamsha. That division deserves s3ecial %ention because it is by far the %ost si.ni:cant# But there are %any other divisions of a si.n hich < ill describe no#
