Shashthamsa Chart (D-6) Calculator
Health, disease and enemies
The Shashthamsa, also called Kaulaka, divides each sign into six and is read for health, illness and opposition - the affairs of the sixth house examined on their own. Like the Panchamsa it sits outside the shodasavarga.
Division Rule
Each rashi is split into 6 equal parts of 5° each.
How to Read It
Malefics on the D-6 lagna or its 6th house are read as chronic rather than acute difficulty. Nothing here is a medical opinion, and a chart is not a diagnosis - anything you are actually worried about belongs with a doctor.
Shashthamsa Chart (D-6) Calculator — FAQ
Can this chart tell me whether I am ill?
No. It is a traditional reading of the sixth house, not a diagnosis, and it has no access to anything about your body. Take a real symptom to a doctor.
Why is it also called Kaulaka?
Kaulaka is the older name found in several classical texts for the same six-fold division; the two names refer to one chart.
