1-Chart-Introduction
       An astrological chart 
       is a map of planets located in the Heavens at any specific time. 
       Various charts have various purpose to serve, that is why there are 
       several types of charts according to their relevance -- 
      
      
      (1) Birth Chart (Natal Chart) - Or Lagna Patrikaa. This chart is made with the Rising Sign at 
          the time of the birth of the native. This is for the purpose of 
      individual's progression. 
      (2) Raashi Chart (Moon Chart) - Or Chandra Kundalee. This chart is made making the Moon sign as Ascendent. 
      (3) Prashn Chart - This chart is made at 
          the time the native has asked to question. 
      (4) Horary Chart -  
      (5) Varg Chart - They are called Ansh Chart also. 
          Their purpose is to go deeper into the time to predict something. 
      (6) Gochar Chart - Or Transit Chart 
      (7) Chalit or Bhaav Chaalit Chart -  
      (8) Sudarshan Chart - Sudarshan Chakra (combo of Raashi and Lagna and 
      Soorya) helps in general assessments of individuals and is derivative of 
      Lagna and Janma Patrikaa known as Kundalee. 
      (9) Padm Chakra -  
      Padm Chakra is Tantra based and it's study helps along with mundane 
      aspects for specific place and purpose. The term Padm Chakra is not 
      general like Tantra and Naadee Jyotish is applied and used. 
      (10) Koorm Chakra - Koorm Chakra takes into account the Nakshtra and 
      reflects on Bhaav and their Adhipati (Lords). otherwise refereed by some 
      Chalit or Bhaaav Chaalit charts. It does not speak of Signs. It is used 
      for individual as well as mundane purpose. When used for specific purpose 
      of an individual it helps to know and ascertain contradictions. Vinshottaree Dashaa Starts from Moon, Lagna, Sun
       Standard reference for Vinshottaree 
      Dashaa is the  Moon (the mind) but it also can be started from other references as 
      well, which are Lagna and Sun. Moon, Lagna and Sun are the three most important 
      references in Moola Dashaa - the most 
      important planetary period ruling or at least influencing our life - and Mool 
      Dashaa starts from the strongest of these three references. Although the strongest 
      of Moon, Lagna and Sun is the most important starting point, calculations from 
      both other references can be made as well and give additional information. This 
      applies to Vinshottaree as well: it is reasonable to start it from Lagna and Sun 
      as well.
      
       Note:  
      Kaal Chakra Dashaa can be started from Lagna as well. When starting Vinshottaree 
      Dashaa from Lagna or Sun, counting of Bhaav must be done from the respective reference 
      point, 'Lagna' when starting from Lagna and 'Sun' when starting from the Sun. 
      
      Standard Vinshottaree Dashaa - started 
      from Moon - is to be analyzed and interpreted firstly "from Moon" because 
      this is the reference point in natal chart. 
      
      This is the secret: 
      (1) When you start Vinshottaree (or Mool or Kaal Chakra Dashaa) with reference to natal 
          Moon, "counting from Moon in Raashi" is more important. 
      (2) When you start Vinshottaree (or Mool or Kaal Chakra Dashaa) with reference to natal 
          Lagna, "counting from Lagna in Raashi" is more important. 
      (3) When you start Vinshottaree (or Mool Dashaa) with reference to natal Sun, 
      "counting from the Sun in Raashi" is more important.
      
       The nine above given steps of interpretation 
      are valid as well, making of entry charts is always essential.
