Khavedamsha (D40) — auspicious and inauspicious imprints (maternal line)
What it shows
The Khavedamsha (D40) examines auspicious and inauspicious imprints (maternal line). Remember the Shodashvarga rule — whatever the birth chart (D1) promises is confirmed in the matching varga; strong here too, the result is sealed, weak here, it shrinks or arrives late.
How it is computed
Forty parts; counted from Aries in odd signs, Libra in even. Held to be the subtle layer of inherited effects of the maternal line.
Keys to reading
First see the Khavedamsha-lagna and its lord, then the relevant karaka's placement in this varga. The D40-position of the planet that carries this matter in D1 is the final seal. Our free kundali computes all sixteen vargas automatically.
