Drekkan

In Vedic astrology, a "Drekkan" (also spelled as "Drekkana" or "Drekkana") is a term referring to a specific divisional chart or "Varga" chart used to analyze a person's life and destiny. The Drekkan chart divides each sign of the zodiac into three equal parts of 10 degrees each, resulting in a total of 36 Drekkanas for the entire zodiac.

Each Drekkan is ruled by a different planet, starting with the lord of the sign itself, followed by the lords of the subsequent signs in zodiacal order. This pattern repeats for every three signs.

The Drekkan chart is particularly significant in analyzing a person's health, nature, and characteristics. It provides additional insights into various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and spirituality.

Astrologers often analyze the Drekkan chart along with the birth chart (Rasi chart) and other divisional charts to gain a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's life path and potential. The specific placements of planets in different Drekkanas can reveal strengths, weaknesses, and unique traits that shape a person's personality and experiences.
