Spirituality in Jyotish
The heart lotus – basics of spirituality and aṣṭamaṅgalam; Also Iṣṭa devatā, pālana devatā and Guru devatā.
Not concerning ourselves with the inanimate world, let us focus on the living beings, and that too the human being and spirituality. The aṣṭadala padma (eight-petal lotus) is the foundation of Hindu philosophy. It is based on the Kālachakra or the wheel of time, which is composed of eight spokes and has the 28 constellations distributed in these spokes.

Trimsamsa D-30 Chart
There are two methods to draw a Trimsamsa (D30) Chart. We discuss the method of Parashara.
What is the Trimsamsa, and how to draw a Trimsamsa Chart?
Trimsamsa means the one-thirtieth portion of a sign measuring one degree. Unlike other divisions, the Sun and Moon are not the Lords of any trimsamsa and the Nodes (Rahu & Ketu) also do not owm any trimsamsa. Thus the remaining five of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn own the trimsamsa.
