Dwadamsha (D-12)

This chart has 12 divisions of a rashi that is 30 /12 =2°30’ each. The counting starts
from the Sign where Planet is posited. Thus the first dwadamsha of any rashi will be
same rashi.

Parashar has given a clue to understand by grouping the dwadamsha under the lords
as below:

Dwadamsha Lord
1st 5th 9th Ganesh
2nd 6th 10th Ashwini Kumar
3rd 7th 11th Yama
4th 8th 12th Ahi or Serpent

According to the lords we can judge the nature

Ganesha: Gets success after struggle, intelligent, obedient, full of qualities and has
wisdom.

Ashwini kumar: Benefic, lucky, intelligent, wise, healthy and active upto long time.

Yama: Face sudden problems, reduction in age, restrain, has selfcontrol, morality,
equality, justice and observance.

Ahi or serpent: Opposition and enimity, wickedness, cheating, has to snatch the rights
and face problems in success.

good in both then gives good results, if in one then medium and is bad in both
then bad results.
 The lagnesh of D-30 is in Kendra/trikona and posited with or aspected by
benefic palnets or is in shubhpanchak itself then native is disease free and
spends peaceful life.

will be good. But in contrary to this there will be loss in significations.

then gets wealth, respect and worldly happiness according to the status of
planet (exalted, Mooltrikona, own or friendly sign).
