It is a sensitive area in your birth chart which can trigger some bad events in your life, its lord is also known as Chhidra planet and as Khara Navamsh also.

METHOD TO CALCULATE 64TH NAVAMSHA

Since we all know how important is navamsha and planetary movements when seen through navamsha can reveal many things. As the name suggests 64th navamsha is calculate from navamsha . As per BPHS it should be calculated from both Lagana & Moon chart whereas Jataka Parijata recokns it from Moon only. For better results one should reckon it from both ascendant and Moon. One more addition can be done here, as per K.N Rao you can calculate 64th navamsha for each house and can know when negative events are going to happen with significations of that particular house.

For example if you want to calculate the 64th navamsha for ascendant than check which sign is rising in 4th from it. Suppose I have Pisces ascendant and Capricorn navamsha, then for 64th navamsha for ascendant will be 4th sign from Capricon which is ARIES. Now sign Aries will be 64th navamsha for my ascendant and its lord Mars will be called as Chiddra planet. Same way you can calculate 64th navamsha for planets like VENUS, MARS etc and when malefics transits over their 64th navamsha then the house they rule suffers and significations which they represents also suffers.

3.Death becomes imminent when a planet who is by chance lord of 64th navamsha from ascendant or moon and 22nd drekkana are same planet , transits a sign which don’t have any asthvarga bindus.
