Shastiamsha (D60 Past-Life Chart)

The Shastiamsha (D60) is the most granular divisional chart, dividing each sign into 60 parts to reveal past-life karma and the soul's deeper patterns.

Understanding

What is Shastiamsha (D60 Past-Life Chart)?

Shastiamsha is considered the most important divisional chart by Parashara, who assigned it the highest weightage in Vimshopaka Bala. Each sign is divided into 60 parts of 30 arcminutes, making it extremely sensitive to birth time accuracy. The D60 chart reveals the soul's karmic baggage — past-life tendencies, hidden talents, and spiritual debts. Each of the 60 divisions has a specific deity and quality. An accurate D60 reading requires birth time precision of under 2 minutes.
