Parasara says that this chart indicates “Mahat Phalam” Mahat (big) Phalam (fruits) -
things of great value shown by second, sixth and tenth bhavas : the result which indicates
the standing and status of the native in society on account of the interaction of fate and
action.
Calculation of the Dasamsa chart:
The divisional chart based on the 10th division of signs is called Dasamsa or Dasamamsa or
Karmamsa or Swargamsa.
- Each sign is divided into 10 equal parts.
- If the sign is odd, the 10 parts of the sign go into the 10 consecutive signs starting
from the sign itself.
- If the sign is even, the 10 parts of the sign go into the 10 consecutive signs starting
from the 9th sign from the sign in question.
- Example:
a) Odd sign counting: Counting starts form the sign itself - the 10 parts of Leo go
into signs from Leo to Taurus
b) Even sign counting: Counting starts from the 9th sign - the 10 parts of Scorpio go
into signs from Cancer to Aries.

with malefic may even temporarily hold up anticipated results.
