Understanding The Vargottama Planet Meaning

Vargottama Planet is a unique planetary alignment that greatly impacts one’s life. This word is a combination of two Sanskrit words: Varga, meaning divisional chart, & Ottama, meaning the best & purest form. 

The planet that is placed in the same zodiac sign in the birth chart (D1) & the Navamsa Chart (D9) are called Vargottama graha. This is an auspicious placement, having both positive & negative results depending on the planet. 

The effects of the Vargottama planet strongly depend on two factors: the nature of the planet & the active dasha of the planet. The vargottama planet benefits enhance career & relationships, while the negatives can bring immense struggle & challenges in life.
