Varga · Divisional Chart 5/16
The Saptamsa Chart D7
Children & progeny — children, progeny and creative legacy.
The D7 (Saptamsa) divides each sign into seven to study children and progeny — the capacity to have them, their wellbeing, and creative or generative legacy. It is the primary chart consulted for questions of offspring.

What the Saptamsa (D7) shows
Every divisional chart magnifies one department of life. The Saptamsa divides each sign into 7 equal parts, then maps each part to a full sign — producing a new 12-sign chart that zooms in on children, progeny and creative legacy. 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 D7 is read for the strength and condition of planets relevant to children & progeny. A planet that is strong in both the D1 and the D7 gives full results in that area; one that weakens in the D7 delivers less than the main chart suggests. It is always judged alongside the D1 and the D9, never alone.
