Trimsamsa D-30 Chart

There are two methods to draw a Trimsamsa (D30) Chart. We discuss the method
of Parashara.

What is the Trimsamsa, and how to draw a Trimsamsa Chart?

Trimsamsa means the one-thirtieth portion of a sign measuring one degree. Unlike
other divisions, the Sun and Moon are not the Lords of any trimsamsa and the
Nodes (Rahu & Ketu) also do not owm any trimsamsa. Thus the remaining five of
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn own the trimsamsa. They represent the
five elemental states of existence (see table 1).
Table 1: Five Elements
Element Planet State Tithi Days
Prithvi Mercury Earth/Solid state Bhadra Tithi: 2nd, 7th &
12th
Wednesday
Jala Venus Water/ Liquid state Rikta Tithi: 4th, 9th & 14th Monday & Friday
Agni Mars Fire/Energy Nanda Tithi: 1st, 6th &
11th
Tuesday, Sunday
Vayu Saturn Wind/ Gaseous State Poorna Tithi: 5th, 10th &
15th
Saturday
Akash Jupiter Ether/ Vacuum Jaya Tithi: 3rd, 8th & 13th Thursday

Table 2: Trimsamsa D30
Degrees Odd Signs Deity Degrees Even Signs Deity
5 Aries Agni 50 Taurus Varuna
10 Aquarius Vayu 120 Virgo Kubera
18 Sagittarius Indra 200 Pisces Indra
25 Gemini Kubera 250 Capricorn Vayu
30 Libra Varuna 300 Scorpio Agni


The positions of the planets and the Lagna in the Rasi chart are used to determine
the Trimsamsa occupied by them. For example, if Jupiter is in 26-07 in Pisces, then
since it is in an even sign, from Table 2, we see that it is in Scorpio (even sign ruled
by Mars). In this manner, the trimsamsa of all the planets and Lagna is determined
and the resultant chart is called the Trimsamsa or D-30 Chart.

The trimsamsa chart of the standard nativity is given below.




How to study the Trimsamsa Chart?

Method-1

1. Treat this like any other chart. In spiritualism we are taught of a SHADOW SELF
called PAPA_PURUSHA which is a reflection of our own self, but the darker side
which includes all the negative things we have done for ages and many births. This
is the trimsamsa..the shadowy world of our self. Hence, the Sun and Moon do not
own any trimsamsa as they have light.

2. Second thing is to study this chart for all the bad things we have done for which
we deserve to be punished or taught lessons. The 12th rules hospitals and is the 5th
(Mantra) from the 8th (Diseases). Hence the 12th house shows the way to get out of
diseases and other such bad karma. It is the future (5th) of the 8th house.

3. A Saturn placed in such a place is not good as it delays the recovery from
diseases, makes the effect of the mantra nil due to mistakes or NOT
WORSHIPPING GANESHJI before starting a mantra can render it useless unless
Guru is very strong. In this manner study the houses with focus on the 8th house
(ROGA: Diseases & RINA Debts) and the 6th house (SHAD RIPU: Six kinds of
weaknesses). In this manner the houses should be studied.

4. The 9th house (Dharma) from the 8th house is the 4th house. Thus, happiness
and laughter (ruled by the 4th house) are the best natural medicine to get out of the
cycle of disease and debt. A clean heart is the key to happiness & laughter. Venus
(fulfilment of desires) gives happiness & Mercury gives laughter. Moon is the natural
significator for the 4th house and becomes the Controlling planet for good health and
freedom from diseases. In this manner the planets should be studied.

5. The Arudha pada of the sixth house gives the body part that shall be afflicted due
to the diseases.

6. Venus rules the Mritunjaya Mantra and the strength of Venus in this division is
important for recovery from diseases. The Sun and the Moon represent the Atma
(Soul) and the Mana (Mind) respectively. Affliction to the Sun will result in suffering,
poverty and misery while affliction to the Moon will cause ill health and death. Since
Mars and Venus rules the signs of exaltation of the Sun and Moon, they represent
the Physical and Mental strength of the native to cope with distress, disease and
other evils respectively.

Examine the trimsamsa of the chart above

The first, tenth and eighth houses and their lords should be examined for good
longevity. Here, the Lagna lord is involved with a Parivartana Yoga with the ninth lord
Mars showing the ability for quick recovery from diseases. The conjunction of saturn
is a big handicap on the lagna lord as if saturn conjoins either of the lords of the
lagna (Brahma), tenth (Vishnu) and eighth (Rudra), then the span of longevity
contributed by it is reduced. Jupiter is not only the lagna lord, but also the tenth lord
and its conjunction by Saturn is a handicap. The exaltation of the eighth lord Venus
is a great blessing in the chart as it gives cures from all ailments during its periods.
Rahu and Ketu placed in the eighth house will surely give diseases during their
periods and the antidote for this is the exaltation of Venus their dispositor. During
Saturn dasa-Rahu Antardasa-Ketu Pratyantar dasa, the native developed a strange
swelling in the left elbow (joint diseases are shown by Saturn) that had to be
surgically removed after it threatened to become dangerous.

The badhakesh is the lord of the house of obstruction (Badhak means obstruction).
For movable signs the eleventh house, for dual signs the seventh and for fixed signs
the seventh is the Badhak house. Here the seventh house is Virgo which is empty
while its lord Mercury is in the tenth house in Sagittarius in the badhak house from
the Moon. Thus, during Jupiter dasa Mercury antardasa, the native suffered from a
dogbite.

The lagna rising in trimsamsa is the same as the Lagna Pisces in the Rasi chart
showing that most of the ill health will be related to childhood and that the health
improves with age. This is also substantiated by the placement of the tenth lord in
Lagna with the lagna lord in the Rasi Chart. In this manner and applying the
Paryaya Dasa [recommended by Maharishi Jaimini for the Shastamsa (D-6) and D-
30 is a higher harmonic division of D-6 as 30=2x12+(6)] the correct results can be
divined.
