Saham Calculator
Sahams (Arabic Lots) are mathematically computed sensitive points in the birth chart that reveal where fortune, marriage, career, education and health concentrate. Each Saham is calculated from three factors — the Ascendant, a specific planet, and a house cusp.

Three Pillars of Saham Strength
Lord Dignity
Is the Saham lord exalted, in its own sign, or debilitated? An exalted lord delivers fully; a debilitated one carries potential on paper but struggles to manifest.
House Placement
Which house does the Saham fall in? Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) or trikonas (1, 5, 9) are considered strongest; in dusthanas (6, 8, 12) the theme faces more obstruction.
Chart Context
Does the Saham agree with its related house and lord? Context gives meaning to the calculation — no Saham is read in isolation.
Takeaway: a Saham's power comes from three things working together — its lord's dignity, its house placement, and how well it agrees with its related house.

Sahams (also called Arabic Lots or Parts) are an integral part of the Tajika system of astrology. This tradition entered Indian astrology from Persian-Arabic sources around the 12th–13th century and became the standard framework for annual (Varshaphal) chart analysis. This calculator applies the same classical formulas to your birth chart, giving each life area a fixed, natal sensitive point.
Practical use: considering marriage? Check Vivaha Saham. Looking for a new job? Examine Karma and Labha Saham — each life question has a dedicated Saham, always read alongside its related house and lord.
Who Should Check Sahams?
Marriage-Age Singles & Families
Vivaha Saham shows which house your year's partnership energy concentrates in, alongside the 7th house and D-9 chart.
Competitive Exam Aspirants
Vidya Saham complements the 4th/5th houses and D-24 chart when reading learning capacity and academic focus.
Working Professionals
Karma Saham (the work itself) and Labha Saham (gains) round out the 10th and 11th house picture.
Major Life Transitions
Mrityu Saham (transformation, not literal death) is read alongside the 8th house for significant endings and renewal.

| Used together? | Yes — a Saham refines what a Yoga already promises | Yes — a Yoga sets the potential a Saham then focuses |
Saham Calculator FAQs
What is a Saham in Vedic astrology?
A Saham (Arabic Lot / Part) is a mathematically computed sensitive point in the birth chart — each is derived from three factors, typically two planets (or a house cusp) and the Ascendant. It represents a concentrated zone of influence for a specific life area like fortune, marriage or career.
How is Punya Saham calculated?
Punya Saham (Point of Fortune) = Moon − Sun + Ascendant, reversed for night births. It is the anchor point of the whole Saham system — several other Sahams use its own longitude as an input.
Are birth-chart Sahams the same as annual (Varshaphal) Sahams?
No — this calculator computes each Saham's position from your natal (birth-moment) chart, the classical Parashari reading. Tajika/Varshaphal astrology recomputes Sahams for the annual solar-return chart instead; the formulas are shared, but the chart they're applied to differs.
Which house is best for a Saham to fall in?
Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) and trikonas (1, 5, 9) are considered the strongest placements for any Saham. Dusthana placements (6, 8, 12) don't mean failure — they suggest the theme meets more resistance and needs more deliberate effort.
Can I check Sahams without knowing my exact birth time?
Sahams are extremely sensitive to the Ascendant degree, which changes roughly every two hours. Even a 15-minute error in birth time can shift a Saham into a different house. An accurate birth time is essential for a reliable reading.
Is Mrityu Saham about actual death?
No — despite the literal name, classical Jyotish reads it as a point of transformation and vulnerability worth extra care, not a death prediction. It's examined alongside the 8th house and longevity factors, never in isolation.
What is the difference between a Saham and a Yoga?
A Yoga describes a relationship between planets (conjunction, mutual aspect, exchange) that shapes lifetime potential. A Saham is a single computed sensitive point showing where a specific life theme concentrates. Both are read together for a fuller picture.
