Shodashavarga
The shodashavarga is Parashara's set of sixteen divisional charts
The shodashavarga is Parashara's set of sixteen divisional charts. Each divides every sign into smaller parts and reads them as a chart of their own, giving a specialised lens — marriage, career, parents, and more — on top of the birth chart.
Parashara enumerates sixteen vargas from the rashi (D1) to the shashtiamsha (D60), assigns their presiding deities, and defines the vimshopaka strength scheme that weighs a graha's dignity across them.

This platform computes the full shodashavarga plus the shashthamsha (D6), seventeen divisions in all; varga dignities feed vaisheshikamsa counts, vargottama detection, and the dignity_in_varga rule conditions. A graha holding good dignity across many vargas earns the classical vaisheshikamsa titles.
