What is the D4 Chart (Chaturthamsa)?

The D4 chart, called Chaturthamsa in Sanskrit, is the fourth divisional chart in Vedic astrology. The word “Chaturthamsa” comes from Chaturth meaning “fourth” and Amsa meaning “part,” highlighting its link to the 4th house of the natal chart, which governs home, family, mother, emotional comfort, and property.

The D4 chart is derived by dividing each sign of the natal chart (Rasi chart) into four equal parts, creating a more detailed picture of home life and familial relationships. Essentially, it zooms in on the fourth house matters, giving astrologers a deeper insight into domestic peace, parental influence, property matters, and emotional stability within the household.

The D4 chart is constructed by dividing each zodiac sign into four equal parts of 7°30′ each.

  • The first quarter of the sign represents the 1st part,
  • The second quarter represents the 2nd part, and so on.

These divisions are then assigned to the respective signs in a systematic way to create the Chaturthamsa chart. The method ensures that the D4 chart mirrors the energies of the natal chart while giving a deeper, more specific insight into fourth-house matters.
