D9 — navāṃśa
The navāṃśa (D9) divides every sign into 9 equal parts of 3°20′ and gives each part a sign of its own, so a graha's D9 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 spouse. SIA computes it for every kundli, with whole-sign houses from the D9 lagna, and reads it alongside the rāśi chart for that matter.

Parāśara's rule and office
नवांशेशाश्चरे तस्मात्स्थिरे तन्नवमादितः। उभये तत्पञ्चमादेरिति चिन्त्यं विचक्षणैः। देवानृराक्षसाश्चैव चरादिषु गृहेषु च।।११।।
RenderingNine navāṃśas of 3°20′ make a sign. In a movable sign count from that sign itself, in a fixed sign from the ninth from it, in a dual sign from the fifth; the lords are deva, nara and rākṣasa in turn.
नवमांशे कलत्राणां दशमांशे महत्फलम्। द्वादशांशे तथा पित्रोश्चिन्तनं षोडशांशके।।३।।
RenderingFrom the navāṃśa the spouse; from the daśāṃśa great deeds (matters of rule); from the dvādaśāṃśa the parents; from the ṣoḍaśāṃśa conveyances.
