D12 - द्वादशांश
Dwadasamsa Chart (D12)
Parents, ancestral karma, lineage
Description
The Dwadasamsa chart divides each sign into twelve parts (2.5 degrees each). It shows the native's relationship with parents, ancestral karma, and the family lineage's influence on the current life.
How to Read
The 4th house of D12 shows the mother's fortune and health. The 9th house shows the father. The Lagna of D12 shows the ancestral karma the native carries. Strong benefics in D12 indicate a supportive family background. Malefics indicate ancestral debts (Pitru Dosha) that may need remediation.
FAQ
Q.Can D12 show Pitru Dosha?
Yes. Malefics (especially Rahu, Ketu, Saturn) afflicting the 9th house of D12 or the D12 Lagna indicate Pitru Dosha (ancestral karma debt). The remedies include Pitru Tarpan, Shraddha rituals, and specific pujas based on the afflicting planet.
