Hora Chart (D2) Calculator

The Hora is the simplest of the sixteen vargas: each sign is halved at 15 degrees, and each half belongs either to the Sun, represented by Leo, or to the Moon, represented by Cancer. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 6 assigns the D2 to wealth and finances, and because it has only two destinations it is a chart read differently from the others.

Two halves, two signs

In the Parashari scheme every planet in the D2 lands in one of exactly two signs. An odd sign gives its first half to the Sun and its second to the Moon; an even sign reverses that. The Sun's hora is rendered as Leo, the Moon's as Cancer, so a full D2 chart shows all nine grahas distributed between two houses.

That is why the D2 is not drawn or read like a twelve-sign chart. There is no meaningful house pattern to inspect. What the chart reports is a count: how many grahas fall in the solar half and how many in the lunar, and which of them a particular planet joins.

The other Hora schemes, and why they exist

The two-sign Hora is the BPHS scheme and the default here, but the classical and modern literature preserves alternatives that spread the D2 across all twelve signs, precisely because two destinations carry so little information. The Kashinatha Hora distributes the halves through the sign lord's day and night signs, and the Parivritti Dwaya scheme cycles twenty-four horas twice around the zodiac.

AstroZivi ships all three and does not pretend the disagreement away. This page computes the Parashari default; the full divisional-charts tool lets you switch schemes and shows the note attached to each. Where sources differ, the site's practice is to expose the choice rather than to resolve it silently.

What the D2 can and cannot support

The classical assignment is the subject of the chart, wealth and finances, and that is the whole of what the texts settle here. AstroZivi names the subject and shows the distribution; it does not convert a solar or lunar hora into a statement about your income, because no reading it can cite makes that step.

A wealth analysis in the classical method reads the 2nd and 11th houses of the birth chart, their lords, the dhana yogas and the running dasha, with the D2 as one supporting layer. That combination is what the full kundli produces; this page produces the layer.

How to read your Hora chart

  1. Enter your birth details: The D2 needs the same date, time and place as any chart, although its 15 degree halves make it the least time-sensitive varga.
  2. See the two destinations: Every planet lands in the Sun's hora, shown as Leo, or the Moon's hora, shown as Cancer.
  3. Count the distribution: Note how many grahas fall in each half, and which half your birth-chart 2nd and 11th lords join.
  4. Try the other schemes: The full divisional-charts tool computes the Kashinatha and Parivritti Dwaya horas if you want the twelve-sign versions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Hora chart used for?

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 6 assigns the D2 to wealth and finances. It divides each sign into two horas of 15 degrees, one belonging to the Sun and one to the Moon, and it is read as a supporting layer beside the 2nd and 11th houses of the birth chart.

How is the D2 calculated?

Split each sign at 15 degrees. In an odd sign the first half is the Sun's hora and the second the Moon's; in an even sign the order reverses. The Sun's hora is shown as Leo and the Moon's as Cancer, so every planet lands in one of two signs.

Why do all the planets land in only two signs?

Because the Parashari Hora has only two destinations by construction. Alternative schemes exist for exactly that reason: the Kashinatha Hora spreads the halves across all twelve signs through the sign lord's day and night signs, and the Parivritti Dwaya scheme cycles twenty-four horas twice around the zodiac.

Which Hora scheme does AstroZivi use?

This page computes the Parashari two-sign Hora, the BPHS default. The full divisional-charts tool offers the Kashinatha and Parivritti Dwaya schemes as well, each labelled with its own note, because the sources genuinely differ and the site exposes that rather than resolving it silently.

Is the Hora chart the same as the planetary hour?

No. The hora of the D2 is a 15 degree half of a zodiac sign. The planetary hora used in muhurta is a division of the day into twenty-four hours ruled in turn by the seven planets. The names coincide; the objects do not.
