Encyclopedia of Vedic Astrology: Wealth & Prosperity: Analyzing the Hora Chart for Wealth & Prosperity, Chapter XIII

Dr. Shanker Adawal

There are 12 signs of zodiac an each sign extends up to 30 degrees out of 360 degrees. Throughout this 30 degrees of a zodiacal sign, the planets do not behave in a same manner, whereas the results of the planets get manifested from section to section within 30 degrees of each sign of zodiac. Keeping this variation in the result of the planets, in different sections of a sign, the concept of Divisional charts had been formulated by our ancient sages to provide more and more accuracy in the reading of horoscope.

There are 16 or the shodashvarga and more types of Divisional charts brought into practice for interpretation by our ancient sages, as mentioned in the ancient classic or the texts. Each divisional chart highlights some particular aspect of the native’s life. The divisional charts are analyzed along with the main horoscope chart for determining the finer and precise results in any particular aspect of life of any native.

Among the various Divisional charts the divisional chart called the Hora Chart is used to study the wealth and financial prosperity of the native. The word hora here means 15 degrees, and each zodiacal sign is divided into two parts of 15 degrees each to prepare a Hora Chart for any horoscope.
For the even signs of zodiac, namely the Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces, the first half of the sign or the first 15 degrees of the sign comes under the Hora of Moon in the sign Cancer, and the next half of the sign or the next 15 degrees of the sign comes under the Hora of Sun in the sign Leo. And for the odd signs of zodiac, namely the Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius, the first half of the sign or the first 15 degrees of the sign comes under the Hora of Sun in the sign Leo, and the next half of the sign or the next 15 degrees of the sign comes under the Hora of Moon in the sign Cancer.

The ascendant and the planets of the horoscope chart are relocated in the two Horas to form the Hora chart, based on the above mentioned rules or as per the table given below:

Hora charts can be examined or interpreted for wealth and financial prosperity of a native as per the following principles discussed below:

1.. The planets occupying the Hora of Sun tend to be more influential in conferring wealth, prosperity and riches to the native as compared to the planets occupying the Hora of Moon, in the Hora chart.

2. During the periods of Dashas and the Antardashas of the planets positioned in the Hora of Sun, the native is likely to earn due to self efforts. But this depends upon the strength of the planets, their placement and aspects falling on them from the other planets in the horoscope chart.

3. During the periods of Dashas and the Antardashas of the planets positioned in the Hora of Moon, the native is likely to earn without much efforts or with ease. But this also depends upon the strength of the planets, their placement and aspects falling on them from the other planets in the horoscope chart.

4. If Sun is placed in the Hora of Moon and Moon occupies the Hora of Sun and at the same time the majority of the planets happen to occupy the Hora of Sun, then the native is rich, wealthy and financially prosperous.

5. If the masculine planets, namely the Sun, Mars and Jupiter, are placed in the Hora of the Sun and the feminine planets, namely the Moon and Venus, are placed in the Hora of Moon, then it is considered fortunate for the native and is likely to bring good fortune to the native.


The Hora chart, just being a divisional chart, cannot give wealth and prosperity to the native unless it is promised in the horoscope chart. Thus the main horoscope chart has the potential to bestow wealth and riches to the native, and the Hora chart just reaffirms it. Good indications are obtained from the Hora Chart regarding the flow of wealth and prosperity in a particular Dasha period. During operational period of planets placed in a Hora of Sun, person has to make efforts to earn and accumulate wealth. While during the period of planets placed in the Hora of Moon earning and accumulation of wealth and prosperity comes naturally without much efforts on the part of the native.
