Varga · Divisional Chart 3/16
The Drekkana Chart D3
Siblings & courage — siblings, courage, initiative and the energy of self-effort.
The D3 (Drekkana) divides each sign into three to study siblings, courage and self-driven effort (parakrama). It echoes the themes of the 3rd house and is also used in longevity and health analysis.

What the Drekkana (D3) shows
Every divisional chart magnifies one department of life. The Drekkana divides each sign into 3 equal parts, then maps each part to a full sign — producing a new 12-sign chart that zooms in on siblings, courage, initiative and the energy of self-effort. A promise made in the main birth chart (D1) is confirmed only if it also holds up in the relevant varga; this is how experienced astrologers separate strong promises from weak ones.
How it's used
The D3 is read for the strength and condition of planets relevant to siblings & courage. A planet that is strong in both the D1 and the D3 gives full results in that area; one that weakens in the D3 delivers less than the main chart suggests. It is always judged alongside the D1 and the D9, never alone.
