Chaturvimsamsa (D24) in Vedic astrology

Chaturvimsamsa (D24) cuts every sign into 24 equal parts of 1°15′ each. It maps each part to a sign of its own, building a separate chart from the same birth moment. It is one of the 16 divisional charts, and the API names its use as: education and learning.

Chaturvimsamsa: how the API computes it

The chaturvimsamsa, D24, splits each sign into 24 parts of 1 degree 15 minutes. Each planet moves to the sign of its part. Tradition reads it for education and learning. So it is the chart to look at when a user asks about studies, degrees or skill in a subject.

In the API's signifies field it reads education and learning. POST /v1/chart/D24 gives the D24 sign and house of the ascendant (rising sign) and each planet. They are counted by VG-02 and VG-03.

A common way to use it starts with the 4th and 5th houses of D1, the birth chart. Then look at how Mercury and Jupiter are placed in D24. They are the planets tradition ties to learning.

With parts of 1.25 degrees, this chart changes quickly with the birth time. If the time is uncertain, give the user a short answer and an honest warning. Do not give a long reading based on a time you cannot trust.

How we check the numbers

Every value here starts from planet positions worked out from NASA JPL planet data (DE440). We test them against NASA JPL Horizons, NASA's planet position service. On 25,571 positions from 1850 to 2149, the Sun and planets agree within 0.001 arc seconds. The Moon agrees within 0.011. On 2,000 random birth charts, the rising sign agrees with Swiss Ephemeris within 0.004 arc seconds. An arc second is 1/3,600 of a degree. A practicing astrologer reviews the rules behind these answers. See how we test.
