An Article on Vargottama Planets by a student Rahul
The concept of Vargottama is highly significant in Vedic astrology because it amplifies the inherent qualities of a planet. Here’s a summary of what you've described, expanded with further insights:
Meaning of Vargottama
Varga: Division (refers to divisional charts like Navamsa, Dashamsa, etc.).
Uttama: Superior or excellent.
A planet is considered Vargottama when it occupies the same sign or house in both the main natal chart (D1) and a divisional chart (D9, D10, etc.).
It indicates the planet’s enhanced strength and ability to deliver its results, especially during its Mahadasha or Antardasha.
Classifications of Vargottama
1. Sign-Based Vargottama
When a planet occupies the same sign in both the natal and divisional charts.
Example: Mercury in Libra in both D1 and D9 charts.
Results:
The sign qualities (Libra: balance, relationships, diplomacy) dominate the results.
The areas represented by Mercury (intellect, communication, business) will thrive when aligned with Libra-like traits.
You can actively enhance the results by focusing on sign characteristics.
2. House-Based Vargottama
When a planet occupies the same house across divisional charts.
Example: Jupiter in the 7th house in D1, D9, D10, etc.
Results:
The house significations (7th house: relationships, partnerships, contracts) will gain prominence.
Less emphasis on the sign, more on the house’s impact on your life.
Practical Application
Study the planet’s nature, significations, and dignity in the chart.
Focus on:
1. The representations of the sign (if Vargottama by sign).
2. The representations of the house (if Vargottama by house).
Work towards maximizing these areas to unlock the planet’s best results.
Key Takeaways
Every placement is a blessing: Even if the planet is in a challenging house or debilitated sign, it being Vargottama strengthens its potential for success with effort.
Combine sign and house analysis:
For sign-based Vargottama: Results are more sign-oriented, focusing on character traits and qualities.
For house-based Vargottama: Results are house-oriented, focusing on life areas and events.
Action is essential: You may need to work in areas related to the planet and its sign/house to see the best results.
For example:
Mercury Vargottama in Libra: Enhance communication, focus on relationships and partnerships, adopt diplomacy.
Jupiter Vargottama in the 7th house: Build strong partnerships, align with wise mentors, focus on fairness in contracts.
May you all be able to seek the best of Vargottama Planets.
Thanks and Regards
