Divisional charts
Divisional charts (Vargas) - D1 to D150, explained
A divisional chart subdivides every sign and re-reads the same planets at a finer resolution. Each varga answers one question - the D9 marriage and strength, the D10 career, the D7 children - and none of them overrules the birth chart.
Every varga is built from the same planetary longitudes as your birth chart - the division changes the resolution, not the positions. That is why a promise absent from the D1 is not created by a favourable D9, and why the working order is always the birth chart first, then the varga that governs the question.
