What is a Drekkana Chart?
The Drekkana Chart (also spelled Dreshkana or D3) is the third divisional chart in Vedic astrology, created by dividing each zodiac sign into three equal parts of 10° each. This powerful divisional chart reveals insights about siblings, courage, communication skills, and your inner strength.
Sibling Relationships
The D3 chart primarily reveals your relationship with siblings—their number, nature, bond strength, and mutual support. It shows whether you'll have harmonious or challenging sibling dynamics.
Courage & Valor
Drekkana indicates your level of bravery, mental strength, ability to face challenges, and physical courage. It shows how you respond to adversity and your capacity for heroic action.
Did You Know?
The word "Drekkana" comes from the Sanskrit "Dreshkana," meaning "one-third." Ancient Vedic astrologers discovered that dividing each sign into thirds revealed hidden patterns about siblings and courage that the main birth chart alone couldn't show.
Why Your Drekkana Chart Matters
In Vedic astrology, the Drekkana chart provides crucial insights that complement your main birth chart:
Sibling Analysis
Understand the number of siblings, their nature, your relationship dynamics, support levels, and potential conflicts or harmony.
Courage Assessment
Discover your innate bravery, ability to take risks, mental fortitude, and how you handle pressure or dangerous situations.
Communication Skills
The 3rd house energy reveals your communication style, writing abilities, short travels, and learning capacity.
Practical Applications
- Understand sibling karma and improve family relationships
- Assess your courage level for career choices requiring bravery
- Identify communication strengths for public speaking or writing
- Predict challenges or support from siblings in life
How Drekkana Chart is Calculated
The Drekkana chart is created by dividing each zodiac sign into three Drekkanas (thirds), each spanning 10°. The planet's position within these 10° segments determines its Drekkana sign.
The 3 Drekkanas:
Example Calculation
If Mars is at 15° Aries in your birth chart:
- Mars at 15° falls in the 2nd Drekkana (10°-20°)
- The 2nd Drekkana maps to the 5th sign from Aries = Leo
- Therefore, Mars in D3 chart is placed in Leo
Sibling Analysis Through Drekkana
The Drekkana chart is the primary tool for understanding your sibling relationships. Planetary positions in D3 reveal the number, nature, and quality of sibling bonds.
Sun in D3
Leadership among siblings, authoritative relationship, potential for ego conflicts, or being the responsible one.
Moon in D3
Emotional bonding with siblings, nurturing relationships, close ties with sisters, caring family dynamics.
Mars in D3
Active siblings, competitive relationships, courage shared with brothers, potential conflicts or strong protection.
Mercury in D3
Intellectual bond with siblings, good communication, younger siblings, shared interests in learning or business.
Jupiter in D3
Wise and supportive siblings, blessings through brothers/sisters, guidance and mentorship in family.
Venus in D3
Harmonious sibling relationships, artistic siblings, love and affection, pleasant family gatherings.
Saturn in D3
Karmic sibling connections, age gaps, responsibilities toward siblings, delayed or distant relationships.
Rahu in D3
Unusual sibling dynamics, unconventional relationships, foreign connections, or unexpected sibling situations.
Ketu in D3
Spiritual connection with siblings, detachment, past-life sibling karma, or separation from brothers/sisters.
Reading Sibling Indicators
Key factors for sibling analysis:
- Benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury) indicate harmonious sibling bonds
- Malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) may show challenges or separation
- The lord of the 3rd house in D3 shows the overall sibling karma
- Multiple planets in a sign suggest multiple siblings
Courage & Valor Indicators
The Drekkana chart reveals your level of courage, bravery, mental strength, and ability to face challenges. This is crucial for career choices, life decisions, and understanding your inner warrior spirit.
Physical Courage
Mars, Sun, and Ketu in strong positions indicate physical bravery, ability to face danger, sports prowess, military aptitude, and heroic tendencies.
Mental Courage
Mercury, Moon, and Jupiter placements reveal mental strength, ability to handle pressure, decision-making under stress, and emotional resilience.
Assessing Your Courage Level
- Planets in Aries, Leo, or Scorpio in D3 indicate natural bravery
- Mars or Sun in the ascendant of D3 shows fearless personality
- Benefic aspects to the 3rd house lord enhance courage
- Malefic planets without benefic aspects may indicate fear or hesitation
Communication & Short Travels
Since the Drekkana corresponds to the 3rd house matters, it also reveals your communication abilities, writing skills, short-distance travels, and learning patterns.
Writing & Expression
Mercury and Venus in D3 indicate strong writing abilities, artistic expression, journalism skills, and creative communication.
Public Speaking
Sun and Jupiter placements show oratory skills, ability to inspire through words, teaching capabilities, and influential speech.
Short Travels
Strong 3rd house indicators suggest frequent short trips, enjoyment of travel, commuting activities, and nearby adventures.
Communication Career Paths
Strong D3 chart communication indicators suggest careers in:
- Journalism, media, broadcasting, and content creation
- Writing, blogging, authorship, and publishing
- Sales, marketing, public relations, and advertising
- Teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring

Once you understand your Drekkana chart, you can apply this knowledge practically in your life:
Family Harmony

Career Guidance
Choose careers aligned with your courage level—bravery-requiring jobs vs. analytical roles based on D3 strength.
