A rasi is divided into 9 padas, each is called a navamsa. Each nakshatra has 4 padas. Thus a rasi sign has 2 1/4 nakshatras in them. Vargottama is derived from 2 words. "Varga" means division and "Uttama" means best. So vargottama means bestdivision. This simply means the best amongst all the divisions in a sign. Let me explain why. In the kaalapurusha jataka the order of the navamsas starting from Mesha are: <The padas of the nakshatras are given in the brackets> Mesha: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ( Ashwini, BHarani, Krittika (1) ) Rishabha : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( Krittika(2,3,4), Rohini, Mrigasira (1,2) ) Mithuna: 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 ( Mriga(3,4) , Ardra, Punarvasu(1,2,3) ) KaraKataka : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ( Punarvasu(4), Pausha, Aslesha ) Simha : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ( Magha, PoorvaPhalguni, UttarPhalguni(1) ) Kanya : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( UttarPhalguni(2,3,4), Hastam, Chitra (1,2) ) Tula : 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 ( Chitra (3,4), Swati, Vishakha(1,2,3) ) Vrischika : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ( Vishakha(4), Anuradha, Jyeshtha ) Dhanus : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (Moola, Poorvashadha, Uttarashada (1) ) Makara : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( UttaraAyana (2,3,4) , Sravanam, Dhanishtha(1,2) ) Kumbham :7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 (Dhanishtha (3,4), Satabhishak, PoorvaBhadra(1,2,3) ) Meenam : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 (Poorvabhadra (4), UttaraBhadra, Revati ) As we know, the signs are divided into chara, sthira and dwisbhava starting from Mesha, Rishabha and Mithunam. Now, If you look at the above table, we will find that the 1st pada or navamsa of Mesha, Karakataka, Tula and Makara becomes a VargaUttama or Vargottama. Meaning the 1st navamsa of Mesha lies in Mesha itself , the 1st navamsa of Karakataka lies in Karakataka, the 1st navamsa of Tula lies in Tula and the 1st navamsa of Makara lies in Makara. Similarly we will find that the 5th pada (Maddhyam) or Navamsa of Rishabha, Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha becomes Vargottama.Meaning the maddhyam navamsa of Rishabha lies in Rishabha itself, and the maddhyam navamsas of Simha, Vrischika, Kumbha lies in Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha itself. We will also find that the 9th pada (Anthya) or Navamsa of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanus and Meena becomes Vargottama. Meaning the Anthyam navamsa of Mithuna lies in its own sign, Kanya, Dhanus and Meenam in its own Anthyam Navamsa. If we look at the above Vargottama patterns we deduce more interesting patterns: 1. All the Pratham or 1st Navamsas of Mesha, Karakataka, Tula and Makara are chara signs. They all lie in the Nakhatras of Ashwni (1), Punarvasu(4), Chitra (3), Uttarashada(2) respectively. The nakshatra lords being Ketu, Guru, Mangal and Surya and the vargottama rasi lords being Mangal, Chandra, Sukra and Sani 2. All the Maddhyam padas of Rishabha, Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha are sthira signs. They all lie in the Nakshatras of Rohini (2), Poorvaphalguni(1), Anuradha(1) and Satbhishak (3) respectively. The nakshatra lords being Chandra, Sukra, Sani and Rahu and the vargottama rasi lords being Sukra, Surya, Mangal and Sani. 3. All Antyam padas of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanus and Meena are dwisbhava signs. They all lie in the nakshatras of Punarvasu(3), Chitra(2), Uttarashada(1) and Revati(4). The nakshatra lords being Guru, Mangal, Surya and Budha and the vargottama rasi lords being Budha, Budha, Guru, Guru respectively. So in the above massive intersection of so many permutations and combinations what do we discover about vargottamas? 1. The Pratham, Maddham and Antyam Navamsas give a clue to the "uttam" varga for a particular planet. Mark the numbers 1, 5, 9. The Pratham navamsa of a chara, the maddhyam navamsa of a sthira and the antyam navamsa of a dwisbhava are thus called vargottamas. 1,5,9 denoting the angles of an equilateral triangle as the auspicious energypoints called as vargottamas 2. The planets are movable grahas and they can be in any of the above vargottama navamsas but let us focus on the constants or the immovable nakshatras giving the effects. For a graha to be in Mesha 1st padam, the influences are of the nakshatra lord Ketu and the sign lord Mangal. This gives a clue about Ketus affection to Mangal and fiery signs, Vargottama. Similarly a graha lying in Karakataka 1st padam gives a clue about Gurus affection for the sign Karakataka and a graha lying Home Profile About Us Donate Feedback Contact Us Member's SignIn Here Tribute to Ganesha Tribute to Gurudeva Worshipping Bhrigu Ji Geeta Divya Kriya Yoga Video Interviews with Guruji New Bhrigu Divine Readings Events Bhrigu Aarti Timings Free Hindi Pravachans New Free English Discourses New Testimonials New Bhrigu Store New Vedic Astrology Spiritual Stories Photo Gallery Astro Downloads GuestBook Meditation Retreat Feedback VARGOTTAMA Articles Jeeva Nadi New Maha Mrityunjaya Entering the Highest Jyotish Practice Rashis,Bhavas 'n' Grahas Vargottama Argalas II House Shankh The Flow of Nakshatras The Nakshatra Pada Chart The Rising Kundalini Pushkara Navamsa The Flute of Krishna The Journey to Amarnath Kalpadruma Yoga Devaprayaga

A rasi is divided into 9 padas, each is called a navamsa. Each nakshatra has 4 padas. Thus a rasi­sign has 2 1/4 nakshatras in them. 

Vargottama is derived from 2 words. "Varga" means division and "Uttama" means best. Sovargottama means best­division. This simply means the best amongst all the divisions in a sign. Letme explain why. 

In the kaalapurusha jataka the order of the navamsas starting from Mesha are: <The padas of the nakshatras are given in the brackets>

Mesha: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ( Ashwini, BHarani, Krittika (1) )Rishabha : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( Krittika(2,3,4), Rohini, Mrigasira (1,2) )Mithuna: 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 ( Mriga(3,4) , Ardra, Punarvasu(1,2,3) )KaraKataka : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ( Punarvasu(4), Pausha, Aslesha )Simha : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ( Magha, PoorvaPhalguni, UttarPhalguni(1) )Kanya : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( UttarPhalguni(2,3,4), Hastam, Chitra (1,2) )Tula : 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 ( Chitra (3,4), Swati, Vishakha(1,2,3) )Vrischika : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ( Vishakha(4), Anuradha, Jyeshtha )Dhanus : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (Moola, Poorvashadha, Uttarashada (1) )Makara : 10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 ( Uttara­Ayana (2,3,4) , Sravanam, Dhanishtha(1,2) )Kumbham :7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3 (Dhanishtha (3,4), Satabhishak, PoorvaBhadra(1,2,3) )Meenam : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 (Poorvabhadra (4), UttaraBhadra, Revati )

As we know, the signs are divided into chara, sthira and dwisbhava starting from Mesha, Rishabhaand Mithunam. 

Now, If you look at the above table, we will find that the 1st pada or navamsa of Mesha, Karakataka,Tula and Makara becomes a Varga­Uttama or Vargottama. Meaning the 1st navamsa of Mesha liesin Mesha itself , the 1st navamsa of Karakataka lies in Karakataka, the 1st navamsa of Tula lies inTula and the 1st navamsa of Makara lies in Makara. 

Similarly we will find that the 5th pada (Maddhyam) or Navamsa of Rishabha, Simha, Vrischika andKumbha becomes Vargottama.Meaning the maddhyam navamsa of Rishabha lies in Rishabhaitself, and the maddhyam navamsas of Simha, Vrischika, Kumbha lies in Simha, Vrischika andKumbha itself. 

We will also find that the 9th pada (Anthya) or Navamsa of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanus and Meenabecomes Vargottama. Meaning the Anthyam navamsa of Mithuna lies in its own sign, Kanya,Dhanus and Meenam in its own Anthyam Navamsa. 

If we look at the above Vargottama patterns we deduce more interesting patterns: 

1. All the Pratham or 1st Navamsas of Mesha, Karakataka, Tula and Makara are chara signs. Theyall lie in the Nakhatras of Ashwni (1), Punarvasu(4), Chitra (3), Uttarashada(2) respectively. Thenakshatra lords being Ketu, Guru, Mangal and Surya and the vargottama rasi lords being Mangal,Chandra, Sukra and Sani 

2. All the Maddhyam padas of Rishabha, Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha are sthira signs. They alllie in the Nakshatras of Rohini (2), Poorvaphalguni(1), Anuradha(1) and Satbhishak (3)respectively. The nakshatra lords being Chandra, Sukra, Sani and Rahu and the vargottama rasilords being Sukra, Surya, Mangal and Sani. 

3. All Antyam padas of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanus and Meena are dwisbhava signs. They all lie in thenakshatras of Punarvasu(3), Chitra(2), Uttarashada(1) and Revati(4). The nakshatra lords beingGuru, Mangal, Surya and Budha and the vargottama rasi lords being Budha, Budha, Guru, Gururespectively. 

So in the above massive intersection of so many permutations and combinations what do wediscover about vargottamas? 

1. The Pratham, Maddham and Antyam Navamsas give a clue to the "uttam" varga for a particularplanet. Mark the numbers 1, 5, 9. The Pratham navamsa of a chara, the maddhyam navamsa of asthira and the antyam navamsa of a dwisbhava are thus called vargottamas. 1,5,9 denoting theangles of an equilateral triangle as the auspicious energy­points called as vargottamas 

2. The planets are movable grahas and they can be in any of the above vargottama navamsas butlet us focus on the constants or the immovable nakshatras giving the effects. For a graha to be inMesha 1st padam, the influences are of the nakshatra lord Ketu and the sign lord Mangal. Thisgives a clue about Ketus affection to Mangal and fiery signs, Vargottama. Similarly a graha lying inKarakataka 1st padam gives a clue about Gurus affection for the sign Karakataka and a graha lying

in Uttarashada 2nd padam gives a clue about Suryas affection towards Makara (the mark ofauspicious Uttarayana). Similarly a graha lying the madhyam pada of rishabha gives a clue ofChandra(rohini) and Sukras(sign lord) influence on that pada which does not change. 

3. Vargottamas are defined as the uttam signs as extrapolated above. However a graha placed in aparticular vargottama does not mean favorable always. Its disposition to the lagna, its lord andother aspects are very important to test it favorability or unfavorability. All it means is that thenavamsa sign and the rasi sign where the planet lies is the "uttam" sign and the planet cannotescape from its clutches whether benefic or malefic. The Uttam sign surely gives strength denyingor giving the native favorability or unfavorability. Rahu Ketu debilitated in both rasi and navamsa isan example of a jatak not escaping from the clutches of the nodes. This means that the karma of theplanets are also denied and the karma also will not give relief. 

Remember that 1,5,9 is a clue of core­dharmic energy being released to the planet from theindestructible nakshatras when the planet lies in vargottama navamsa giving great strength.Vargottama Lagna is an indicator of a higher state of this same energy making the navamsa itself tobehave like rasi at times. I will write more on Vargottama Navamsa Lagna and Vargottama invarious other vargas as well. 

The above is an attempt to grasp the circumference and then move towards the center.
