Frequently asked questions about Luck from Mother's Side
What is a Khavedamsha chart?
The fortieth divisional chart (D40, Chatvarimsamsa). Each rasi is split into forty parts of 0 degrees 45 minutes. Odd signs count from Mesha (Aries); even signs count from Tula (Libra). The twelve houses are read from the Khavedamsha of the rising sign as house 1. Classical practice uses it for auspicious and inauspicious effects, and later readers also use it for the mother's line: the 4th for mother, sukha and home, the 9th for fortune.
Does a weak D40 mean my mother will suffer, or that my luck is bad?
No. A planet that looks strong in the birth chart but falls to a weak Khavedamsha tends to deliver less auspicious fruit than it appears to; the reverse also holds. That is a modifier, not a verdict on the mother and not a luck score. Dasha, the natal 4th lord and ordinary family life still matter. Treat a difficult D40 as a reason to look more closely, not as a curse.
How is this different from Dwadasamsa, Maternal Inheritance or Matru Shraapa?
Parents - Dwadasamsa (D12) is both parents. Maternal Inheritance scores property from the mother's side. Matru Shraapa is an affliction checker. Personal Character - Akshavedamsha (D45) is character and the father's line. This page draws the D40 chart itself. None of those pages is a lifespan of the mother, and none is legal or medical advice.
How is this different from Kundli Maker, Chaturthamsha or Vimsopaka?
Same D40 mathematics and the same D40 lagna as house 1. Kundli Maker is the full natal file. This page is only the Khavedamsha. Home and Property - Chaturthamsha (D4) is fortune, home and land. Vimsopaka Bala includes D40 as 0.5 in Shodasavarga. Same sign in D1 and D40 is an echo, not vargottama.
Is the 4th from D40 my mother's lifespan?
It is the house of mother, sukha and home in this chart, not a lifespan and not a medical reading. Read it with the Moon and with the natal 4th lord placed in D40. The 9th is fortune and auspicious fruit. Same sign in D1 and D40 is an echo, not vargottama - that test is D1 = D9 on the Vargottama Planet Finder.
Why does the birth time matter so much?
Each Khavedamsha is only 0 degrees 45 minutes of the rasi chart, so a few minutes of clock time can move Lagna or a graha into the next D40 sign and redraw every house. Pick the city from the dropdown and use the recorded time. If the time is rounded, treat the chart as provisional.
About Luck from Mother's Side - Khavedamsha D40 Chart
Khavedamsha (D40, also called Chatvarimsamsa) divides each rasi into forty parts of 0 degrees 45 minutes. Odd signs count those amsas from Mesha (Aries), even signs from Tula (Libra), the same as Kundli Maker. The chart is read from the Khavedamsha of the rising sign as house 1. Classical practice uses it as the chart of auspicious and inauspicious effects (shubha-ashubha), and later readers also use it for the mother's line: the D40 lagna for the flavour of that chart, the 4th for mother, sukha and home, the 9th for fortune, with Moon as matru karaka and Jupiter as the karaka of fortune. A planet that looks strong in the birth chart but falls in a weak Khavedamsha tends to deliver less auspicious fruit than it appears to, and the reverse also holds. This page draws the chart. It is not a luck score, not a lifespan of the mother, and not a medical or legal reading.
This page is that D40: North and South Indian drawings, a D1-to-D40 table with amsa and the eight BPHS deities (Vishnu, Chandra, Bhumi, Varuna, Isha, Aditya, Yama, Agni, reversed in even signs), the natal 4th lord in D40, and Moon and Jupiter as karakas. It is the same Khavedamsha as the D40 dropdown on Kundli Maker, focused here as its own calculator. It is not Parents - Dwadasamsa (D12) (both parents), not Personal Character - Akshavedamsha (D45) (character and the father's line), not Maternal Inheritance (a property score from the mother's side), not Matru Shraapa, not Home and Property - Chaturthamsha (D4) Chart (fortune, home and land), and not Vimsopaka Bala (D40 as 0.5 in Shodasavarga).
Enter the exact birth time and pick the city from the dropdown. Each khavedamsha is only 0 degrees 45 minutes, so a few minutes of clock time can move Lagna or a graha into the next part and redraw the houses. Results are free to share or save as a PDF.
