HORA or D/2 D-2 or Hora Dhana-Varga

the 1/2 Portion = Second Divisional Chart "fruits of the treasury”

BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 5-6

"The Rashi owned by a Graha, is called its Kshetra. The first half of an odd Rashi is the Hora,

ruled by Surya. While the second half is the Hora of Chandra. The reverse is true in the case of an

even Rashi. Half of a Rashi is called Hora. These are totally 24, counted from Mesha and

repeated twice (at the rate of 12) in the whole of the zodiac.”

David Frawley in Astrology of the Seers

The Hora chart is simple as it is the most basic of the harmonic charts.

The first 1/2 of odd signs like Aries is ruled by the Sun, the second 1/2 by the

Moon.

Conversely, the first 1/2 of even signs, like Taurus, is ruled by the Moon;

the second 1/2, by the Sun.

For example, if Mars is located in 20 degrees of Virgo, as it is in the second

half of an even sign, it would be in the Hora of the Sun. Hence, the Hora chart

only gives solar or lunar status of planets and does not place them in signs

like the other harmonic charts.

D-2 – Barbara Pijan Lama

significators of wealth and and also father and mother

Good results from Hora Lagna

The Hora lagnesh – either the Sun or the Moon – should be strong, making any one

of the following combinations:

- The Sun and the Moon should aspect each other.

- They should be posited in a trine or Kendra in the natal chart.

- Hora lagna lord shoud be posited in own hora.

- Hora lagna lord (the Sun or the Moon) should be associated or aspected by

benefic planets, then the native would be virtuous, intelligent, brave and

well behaved. He could be rich, happy and prosperous.

Bad results from Hora lagna

- When hora lagna is posited in 6, 8, 12 houses in the natal chart.

- When hora lagna is associated or aspected by malefic planets in the

natal chart.

- When hora lagna is debilitated or conjunct debilitated planets then

such a combination would make the native mean, selfish, deceitful,

immoral and unhappy.

- It is normally concluded that the Sun, Mars and Jupiter give good

effects when they occupy the hora of the Sun.

- Moon , Venus and Saturn are good when they occupy the hora of the

Moon.

- Mercury is considered well-placed in both the horas.

- If a malefic or cruel lagna lord occupies an odd sign in the natal chart

and falls in the Sun’s hora in the D/2 chart there will be a tendency of

being cruel, strong and wealthy.

- A benefic planet placed in a even sign in the natal chart and falls in the

Moon hora in the natal chart, the native is brilliant, soft spoken and

fortunate.

- Mixed of planets gives mixed results.

- The mahadasha lord and its placement in odd or even sign and different

degrees of divisions (as stated below) will indicate the native’s speech,

attitude, speech and fortune.

Some scholars are of the opinion that different strength of a planet varies

when they are placed in the following 3 divisions of a hora:

Hora Divisions Degrees of the division Strength of the division

1 0 to 5 and 15 to 20 Strongest

2 5 to 10 and 20 to 25 Average

3 10 to 15 and 25 to 30 weakest

Mansagri gives the following general effects of hora placement:

- Sun placed in Moon’s hora : the native has comforts and wealth acquired by his own efforts. At the

same time he will be dignified with feminine disposition.

- Sun placed in own hora : the native will be courageous, hardworking, does victorious deeds.

The effects of Hora or D/2 in the chart – Example 2:

- The Hora lagnesh, Sun is associated with Moon in Moon hora, who is a

friend, but in the 12th house in the natal chart.

- Hora lagna lord is associated by a benefic Venus, but at the same time

by Rahu who is a malefic along with Mercury.

- These indications not so beneficial but at the same time the native gets

various comforts.

- Considering the above conditions, during the dasha of Sun and Moon,

the attitude, manners, speech, etc. of the native did not bring him him

any honour or dignity.

- The hora lagna is Leo and Sun, Mars and Jupiter give good effects when

they occupy the hora of the Sun. In the instant case, Jupiter and Mars

occupies a kendra and are conjunct. Further, both are lords of trikonas

in the natal chart, and Jupiter aspects 5th and 9th. The both are capable

of giving the native honour, dignity and wealth.

- Any cruel planet occupying Sun’s hora lagna, gives wealth and honour.

Mars in Sun hora: brave, wealthy and persevering and is the beloved of

all.

The truth of hora lagna in the present case is as follows:

i) The native became the beloved of all.

ii) With the 9th house operating fully during Mars dasha, under the

benefic aspect of Jupiter, the native became a corporator, built a

temple, got a house and built a 3 star hotel.

iii) He got honour and social status.

iv) Moresoever, his language was refined and commanding and

attiude with the public made him endearing to one and all, even

his enemies.
