D2 — horā
The horā (D2) divides every sign into 2 equal parts of 15° and gives each part a sign of its own, so a graha's D2 position is a sign in a second chart. Parāśara names it among the sixteen vargas, gives the rule for assigning its signs, and in the viveka chapter says it is consulted for wealth. SIA computes it for every kundli, with whole-sign houses from the D2 lagna, and reads it alongside the rāśi chart for that matter.

Parāśara's rule and office
तत्क्षेत्रं यस्य खेटस्य राशेर्यो यस्य नायकः। सूर्येन्दोर्विषमे राशौ समे तद्विपरीतकम्।।४।।
RenderingThe rāśi's lord is the lord of that kṣetra. In an odd sign the first horā is the Sun's and the second the Moon's; in an even sign the reverse.
पितरश्चन्द्रहोरेशा देव्यः सूर्यस्य कीर्त्तिताः। राशेरर्द्धं भवेद्धोरा ताश्चतुर्विंशतिः स्मृताः। मेषादि तासां होराणां परिवृत्तिद्वयं भवेत्।।५।।
Edition gloss (Hindi)चन्द्रमा के होरा के स्वामी पितर और सूर्य के होरा के स्वामी देवियाँ होती हैं। एक राशि का आधा १५ अंश का एक होरा होता है अर्थात् १२ राशियों में २४ होरा होती है, इसलिये मेषादि राशियों की दो आवृत्ति होती है।।५।।
अथ षोडशवर्गेषु चिन्ता लग्नं वदाम्यहम्। लग्नं देहस्य विज्ञानं होरायां सम्पदादिकम्।।१।।
RenderingNow I tell what is to be judged from the sixteen vargas: from the lagna (rāśi chart) the body; from the horā, wealth.
