Navamsha has very high importance in Vedic Astrology. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra while analysing Shotasha Varga (16 divisions of the Rasi Chart) states that Navamsha Chart is the most important one, after the Rasi Chart. While calculating the vimshopaka bala , the Navamsha chart is considered in all the vargas. Rasi Chart gets the maximum points of strength in the calculation and the next divisional chart is the Navamsha Chart. This indicates the position of planets in the Navamsha chart which is very important in any type of predictions. Every astrologer and the books of astrology stress the use of Navamsha. Navamsha is added in every horoscope. Normally it remains over looked and often remains just a decorative chart. Therefore, budding astrologers are at a loss to understand the use of Navamsha. Navamsha chart is of tremendous predictive use. Profound astrologers even say that a prediction given without considering Navamsha is like committing a crime. Although navamsha is seen to predict marriage, this is not the only the use of Navamsha. In fact it has been given more weight than even the birth chart by Parashara. It is a complete chart to assess the strength of planets. It is called the perpetual chart. It helps in confirmation of any promise of birth chart. The understanding of dasha results are finetuned with the help of Navamsha. The religious devotion is also seen from Navamsha.
