In Vedic astrology, the D2 chart, also known as the Hora chart, is one of the supplementary divisional charts (Varga charts) used for detailed analysis of specific aspects of life. Each Varga chart focuses on a particular area of life and provides additional insights beyond what can be seen in the main birth chart (Lagna chart).
The D2 chart, the Hora chart, primarily focuses on wealth and finances.
Hora chart - D2 chart - what it represents
- Division: The D2 chart divides the zodiac into two halves, each representing one Hora. Each Hora is ruled by a different planet. The first half is ruled by the Sun (Surya Hora), and the second half is ruled by the Moon (Chandra Hora).
- Calculation: The D2 chart is calculated based on the precise longitude of the Sun and the Moon at the time of birth. The division of the zodiac into two halves ensures that each Hora contains 15 degrees.
- Analysis: The D2 chart provides insights into an individual's financial status, assets, wealth accumulation, and material prosperity. The planetary influences in each Hora indicate the potential for financial gains or losses, as well as the individual's ability to manage and utilize resources effectively.
- Planetary Strength: The strength and placement of the Sun and the Moon in the D2 chart are crucial factors in determining financial stability and prosperity. Additionally, the influence of other planets on the Sun and the Moon in the Hora chart can modify the financial outcomes.
- Remedial Measures: Vedic astrologers may recommend specific remedial measures based on the analysis of the D2 chart to enhance financial prospects and mitigate challenges related to wealth and finances. These remedies may include wearing gemstones, performing rituals, or chanting mantras associated with benefic planets.
Overall, the D2 chart, or Hora chart, provides valuable insights into an individual’s financial prospects and helps astrologers offer guidance on wealth management, investment decisions, and strategies for enhancing prosperity in life.
