D24 is Chaturvimshamsa or Siddhamsa - is an octave of the 4th house (6 x 4).
This varga chart is primarily used in understanding your intellectual capabilities, education line, scholarly tendencies.
The Karaka for D24 is Mercury (learning abilities) and Jupiter (scholarship, gaining expertise) The reading of this varga chart is to understand how the native goes deeper in his intellectual pursuits. 6th house is a upachaya - house of growth and expansion. Virgo is the 6th house of the natural zodiac and Mercury exalts in this house - he loves to dig deep into intellectual pursuits, loves to be a student, immerse in debates, discussions, arguments. This concept of 6th (upachaya) is used in D24.
4th house in the D24 relates to basic early education - in the modern world schooling 12th grade. 9th house (6th from 4th) relates to bachelors education. Here one specializes or majors in one subject. 2nd house (6th from 9th) relates to masters education - Here one masters in one major subject. 7th house (6th from 2nd) relates to doctoral education, research etc.,
Planets in the 9th,2nd,7th indicate the area/subject matter that one focuses on. Also pay attention to strong planets aspecting, conjuncting the lord - they can dictate the area of interest. Each planet has a specific area of focus - for example Mars usually gives technical expertise, engineering, tools, metals, fire. Rahu technology, toxins, spurious chemicals, acids Ketu small gadgets, electronics, watches, clocks, micro scale objects Saturn construction related, civil engg, stone, concrete, building materials Jupiter indepth knowledge in a subject, scholarship, counseling, advisory capability, ministerial/politician/legislative, teaching Sun - politician, leadership, health care, medicines, life saving pharmaceuticals
Venus - managerial, business administration, project management, organizer, chemicals Mercury - mathematics, business, economics, commerce, accounting, journalism Moon - language, womens health, nursing, human resources
Natural Benefics in the D24 Ascendant indicate good foundation for learning, easy grasping of concepts, smooth ascension in learning. Placement of Karakas is vital for being comfortable in the line of education. As always look for badhakesha's or dusthanas in the key houses, align the dasas/antardasas with the key houses for charting continuation or break in education.
Previously I have introduced specialised planetary significations in divisional charts. In this post here is the list for the karakas in divisional charts - what do they stand for. This is the normal way which most experienced astrologers have in looking at divisional charts. You can use both methods to increase your predictive skills.
The list below is from Laura Bart, an American Veidc Astrologer.
