Trayamśa is the name of the third divisional chart, but those initiated into its practice call this chart ‘drekkāṇa/dṛkāṇa or dṛṣkāṇa’. The word dṛk means visible, whilst dṛṣa refers to sight or can be seen, i.e. dṛṣṭi. Visibility comes from the rays of the Sun, which being guided by the Guru or ṛṣi guides the atma through the various births.

How to read charts V: Pañcāñga
This write-up is a sequel to the article Ātmakāraka, by this author, in a series on how to read charts.
In the previous issues the main focuses have been on how single factors such as that of the Ātmakāraka, can change the look of the chart. In the same issue I began showing the use of the Pañcāñga or Vedic calendar in the chart as well. In this issue I will bring more focus to the Pañcāñga itself in the chart and the yogas formed there from.
Beyond this article, it is recommended for readers to pursue the reading of the articles and books added to the bibliography section of this article.
