About the Shashthamsa Chart (D6)
The Shashthamsa chart (D6) is a divisional chart that many astrologers use alongside the sixteen classical Shodashavarga charts. It narrows the focus of the natal chart specifically to the theme of health, disease, enemies, and obstacles.
Divisional charts are derived by mathematically dividing each zodiac sign into equal parts. The Shashthamsa uses a specific divisor to redistribute planetary positions into a specialized lens that reveals deeper layers of the birth chart.
When interpreting the Shashthamsa, astrologers examine the strength of the Ascendant lord and the natural significators related to the chart's domain. Planets that are strong or well-placed in this chart deliver their promise more fully in the areas it governs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the D6 chart used for?
The Shashthamsa (D6) is read for health, enemies and obstacles. It refines the 6th-house themes of health routine, disease, enemies and obstacles.
How exact does my birth time need to be for the D6 chart?
Each D6 segment is only 5° wide, and the ascendant moves about 1° every 4 minutes on average, so the D6 ascendant can change with a birth-time difference of roughly 20 minutes. Treat the D6 as provisional if your time is uncertain.
