What does the D4 chaturthamsa chart show?

It reads for property, land, home, and fixed assets, the holdings that stay with you over time. It also speaks to your inner emotional security and how settled your sense of home feels, deepening the themes of the fourth house.

How is the chaturthamsa divided?

Each 30-degree sign is split into four parts of 7 degrees and 30 minutes each. The slice a planet falls in maps it to a sign in the D4 chart, following the standard chaturthamsa rule.

Does a difficult D4 mean I will never own a home?

No. The D4 refines what your main chart already promises about property through the fourth house and its lord. A complicated placement describes the path to ownership and what to handle with care, not a flat denial. The D1 sets the promise.

Why is the D4 also called the turyamsa?

Turyamsa is simply another classical name for the chaturthamsa. Both mean the fourth division. The two terms refer to the exact same chart that reads for home, property, and inner security.

Does AstroMedha compute the D4 chart?

Not at present. AstroMedha computes the D1, D2, D7, D9, and D10. For the chaturthamsa you would layer it manually on top of your main chart, which you can generate free in the free tools.

The D4 Chaturthamsa Chart: Home and Property

The D4 chaturthamsa chart zooms in on property, home, and fixed assets. Here is what it is, how it is built, and a grounded way to read it.

This is the general meaning. See what your own birth chart says — free.

What It Is

The D4 chaturthamsa chart is the property and home zoom of your birth chart. If the main chart sketches your fortune broadly, the D4 narrows in on one part of it: land, a home, and the assets you hold for the long run.

It also carries an inner meaning. Alongside bricks and land, this chart speaks to your sense of inner security, the feeling of being settled and rooted.

The jargon layer: chaturthamsa means a fourth, and it is also called the turyamsa. Each 30-degree sign splits into four parts of 7 degrees and 30 minutes each. A planet's position among these four parts maps it to a sign in the D4 chart.

How It Is Calculated

Take the degree a planet sits at inside its sign and see which of the four 7-degree-30-minute slices it falls in. That slice points to a sign in the new chart, following the standard rule for the chaturthamsa. The four slices begin from the sign itself and move on from there.

Because the slices are smaller than a drekkana's, your birth time matters more here. A few minutes can shift a planet from one quarter to the next, so accuracy helps.

What It Shows

The D4 reads for property, land, your home, and fixed assets, the things you own that stay put. It also reaches into your emotional foundation: how secure you feel at your core, and how settled your sense of home is. The fourth house of the main chart already covers home, mother, and inner peace, and the D4 deepens that same theme.

So this chart is part practical, about real estate and holdings, and part emotional, about feeling rooted.

How To Read It

Look at the fourth house of the D4 and the planets in it or aspecting it, along with your ascendant lord's placement. This gives a finer feel for matters of property and the steadiness of your home life than the main chart alone.

Hold the right order. The chaturthamsa refines what the D1 already shows through the fourth house and its lord. It does not override the main chart. If the D1 promises property, a complicated-looking D4 describes the journey to it rather than denying it. Read the D1 first, then open the D4 for the close-up.

A Calmer Way To Use It

Use the D4 when a real question about home or property is on your mind, such as buying, building, or settling somewhere. It is a focusing lens, not a forecast of loss. Tricky placements point to what to handle with care, not to inevitable trouble.

Note that AstroMedha does not compute the D4 yet, so any reading here sits as a manual layer on your main chart. You can begin by seeing your birth chart free in the free tools, which every finer chart refines.
