Here are some of the ways one can use the Navamsa.
(1) Find the sign in Rasi where the planet is placed. Find out also the sign in Navamsa where the planet is placed. Then count from the Rasi sign to that of the sign in Navamsa. The position is the house in which the planet is placed with the Lagna denoted by the sign in which the planet is placed in Rasi. To assess the good or bad effects ot that note the following :
If the relative number of the counting is other than 6 or 8 or if the sign in Navamsa is not debilitated, then it has good effects. The good effects would be further enhanced based on the Ascendant Type that is formed for that particular planet's new position. The new Ascendant has Lagna identical to the planet's original Rasi position in D-1.
(2) Take the lord of the Navamsa chart. See whether it is placed in Kendra or Kona. If it is, then it is good. The person will be lucky and fortunate.
(3) For planets that are not in their own, Moolatrikona or exaltation signs, the dispositor in Navamsa assumes special signficance in chart interpretation. For example, if the 10th lord Mars in Rasi is placed in Sagittarius in Navamsa. Then predict occupations related to Jupiter would have a major inlfuence on Martian occupations like mabye the person is teaching in the police acadmy rather than an actual crime fighter himself.
(4) Conjucntions and oppositions (whether by Drishti or Yuti) in Navamsa assume a higher signification than other relationships like 10th house Drishti aspect.
(5) Some Observations
Mars conjunct Rahu or Ketu in Mercury's Navamsa gives skin or stomach problems.
Venus conjunct Rahu or Ketu in Navamsa indicates marriage to a person outside of the native's community. Also gives problems in relationships.
Saturn conjunct Moon in Navamsa indicates stinginess, or an obsession with money.
Moon and Mars conjunct in Navamsa indicate gynaecological problems in women and blood-related problems in men. This is especially true when the conjunction occurs in Cancer or Scorpio.
Venus, though Vargottama in Jyeshtha, can still give relationship problems.
Jupiter in exaltation or own sign in Navamsa usually gives a sound financial position to the native, especially as age increases.
Saturn in Leo Navamsa is almost always bad, except when Vargottama.
Natives with Sun in Aries Navamsa go bald sooner than most people. They also tend to have large foreheads.
Mars in Venus Navamsa gives a taste for the good life. If afflicted, will give vices. Venus in Mars Navamsa gives an aggressive, emotional outlook in relationships. A Mars-Venus exchange in Navamsa could indicate failure of marriage, or, a love-interest not leading to marriage. It could also indicate unfaithfulness or a multiplicity of relationships.
(6) Afflictions to a planet by the nodes give warped results, athough it does not necessarily deny the fulfillment.
(7) Special aspects and digbalas also apply to Navamsa.
(8) The lord of a house, whether in Rasi or Navamsa, conjunct or aspected by a Karaka in the Navamsa gives good results. For e.g., If the 7th lord of the Rasi or Navamsa is conjunct Venus, it gives good results pertaining to spouse. I consider Jupiter as karaka for Navamsa as well. It is the planet of Dharma.
(9) A planet involved in exchange of signs (Parivartana) in the Navamsa should be considered strong.
(10) A planet in its exaltation or own sign in Navamsa is to be considered strong, and usually gives good results pertaining to its lordship or Karaka signification. A planet in its debilitation in Navamsa is weak, unless that is offset by Neechbhanga.
(11) Vargottama in Navamsa is strong even if the planet is weak in Avastha. Dasa of such a planet is eventful.
(12) Any planet or Bhava should have equal or more strenght in D-9 chart to advocate sustaining power of that particular Bhava or planet. Any planet in its own Rashi placed in D-1 chart should go into its own Rashi, Mooltrikon sign, exaltation sign or great friend's sign. They should not go into inimical signs, untoward behaves or connected with them should not be debilitated or should not otherwise loose strenght in D-9 chart. One has to analysis the exact strength of a planet in D-9 chart in respect of basic chart, transit chart (prashna chart) any planet gaining strength in Navamsa multiply its power with three times.
(13) The lords of Navamsa are as follows:
a. The lord of first, 4th and 7th Navamsa is Deva which means the divine lord. It represent the qualities of generosity, power, wealth. Native born in this part of Navamsa are generous, religious and powerful.
b. The lord of 2nd, 5th and 8th Navamsa represent Nara which means a man or person of kind, soul and reputed. Engaged in the pursuits of human welfare.
c. The lords of 3rd, 6th and 9th Navamsa represent the charatertistics of Rakshaha or a demon. This part represent cruel, quarry, violent, selfish and person of a negative qualities.
(14) In Navamsa two things are must to be seen. The Lagna Bhava and Lagna Lord should not be into 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava in D-9. If it is moveable sign it should not be in 6th Navamsa or 8th Navamsa, if it is fixed Sign it should not to be in 4th Navamsa and in Dual sign it should not be in 2nd, 4th, & 8th Navamsa. Secondly, 6th, 8th & 12th lord of D-1 should not get associated with Lagna Bhava or lagna lord in D-9. When the Lagna and Lagna Lord of D-9 gets associated with 6, 8 or 12 of D-9, the first level of afflictions will give the affects in the Mahadasha of Planets connecting to these Lagna Lord and Lagna. The second level of afflictions is in the Antradasha of these planets and the third level in the Pratyanter Dashas. One with experience these kinds of troubles and anxietities in life.
(15) Pushkaramsa represent Pushkara Navamsa of 3o-20' in a Rasi which is its most ausupious part. Each Rasi has two Pushkara Navamsa and thus their total in 12x2 = 24. These Navamsa are owned by the benefic planets and can predict benefic results, when applying in muhurata, prasana and timing of events, Jupiter when in pushkara bless the native with plenty of wealth and progress in life. In Navamsa for the purpose of self one has to see the strength of 5th house in D-9 of Lagna, Lagna Lord, the Sun and dispositior of the Sun. For analysing one's poorva punya karma's how will they fruitify. Lagna, lagna Lord, 3rd house, 3rd Lord, Saturn and its dispositor in D-9 they will talk of one's endurance in this life. Poorva punaya karma's and their afflictions can be seen from 5th houses/ 5th lord and from the Karka Jupiter and its dispositior. Now where you are analysing spouse, Lagna, Lagna Lord, 7th house, 7th Lord, Venus and its dispositor. Foreign travels and associated things, the 3, 7, 9, 12 houses/ Lords (Kalapursha's 3th lord Gemeni and its Lord Mercury alongwith Venus). When talking of foreign settlements and diseases, Lagna, Lagna Lord, 6th lord, Ketu and dispositor of Ketu, for diseases and curing of disases Rahu and dispositior of Rahu (in transit).
Don't forget Pushkara Bhaga as well whcih is one point in the Pushkhara Navamsa which gives especially good result.

(16) Based on ancient theories behind the vargas, the navamsa reveals your spiritual 'potencies', inner strength, or the positive provisions of your good karma.
Especially your vargottama planets between your rasi and navamsa, and those planets conjoined in the 'kendras' or 'trikonas' of the navamsa will show the 'outlets' by which your spiritual provisions can be accessed.
(17) 5th House of Navamsa (An interesting example on children)
Jupiter and Mars are both in Cancer Navamsa where Jupiter is exalted and Mars is debilitated. Mars is in Pisces and therefore Pisces becomes Navamsa lagna for Mars in Cancer navamsa. So Mars goes to the 5th house with Jupiter. This gives the following information about the 5th house matters:
1) Mars is in the 5th house, which is bad and further it is debilitated - but Mars is still a masculine planet indicating male children.
2) Jupiter in the 5th house which is bad if supported by another malefic indication, but in this case Jupiter is exalted, thus indicating benefic results.
3) The exalted Jupiter in the 5th house indicates five sons, but the presence of debilitated Mars seems to indicate that this number can be reduced by three, as Mars indicate the number three.
4) The final result will be only two living sons. As a matter of fact the 5th house being the sign Cancer ruled by the Moon also indicates this number, since Moon indicates the number two.
In Nadi astrology the number indicated by a planet is the number of the weekday of that planet. No. 8 and 9 are however ruled by Rahu and Ketu. It works like this:
No. 1 = Sunday (Sun)
No. 2 = Monday (Moon)
No. 3 = Tuesday (Mars)
No. 4 = Wednesday (Mercury)
No. 5 = Thursday (Jupiter)
No. 6 = Friday (Venus)
No. 7 = Saturday (Saturn)
No. 8 = Rahu
No. 9 = Ketu
They can be divided into either odd or even numbers, this way:
Odd (1, 3, 5, 7 & 9) = Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Ketu
Even (2, 4, 6 and
= Moon, Mercury, Venus and RahuThe smiley icon is actually '8'.
Please observe that the odd numbers include the masculine planets, while the even numbers include the feminine ones. However, if we want to find out the number of something from the chart, it maybe useful to see if the ODD or EVEN planets are dominating in the relevant house. In many cases it will be sufficient to know if the person has an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) or an even number (2, 4, 6,
of siblings, children, wives or whatever.Anyway, in this present case there is a qualified significator of sons in cancer navamsa, sons can be predicted when Jupiter or Saturn transits Cancer Rasi or its trines.
Actually the person got the first out of two sons when Jupiter was in Cancer itself, but the birth was followed severe psychological troubles for this person. This is because of Mars in Cancer gets much too emotional.
The second son was born when Saturn was transitting in Scorpio in trine to Cancer.
