Hora chart (D2)
The Hora chart (D2) divides each sign into two halves of 15°, ruled by the Sun and the Moon. It is the divisional chart for wealth: how you earn, keep and use resources.
Also known as: d2 chart, hora kundli
In Parashara’s method the first half of an odd sign belongs to the Sun, shown as Leo, and the second to the Moon, shown as Cancer; in even signs the order is reversed. So in this chart every planet sits in either Leo or Cancer.
The Sun’s hora is linked with wealth through effort, initiative and authority, the Moon’s with wealth through nurture, trade, people and saving. Classical texts say the Sun, Mars and Jupiter do well in the Sun’s hora, and the Moon, Venus and Saturn in the Moon’s.
Because it has only two signs, many astrologers use the D2 lightly or prefer alternative hora methods from later texts, and read wealth mainly from the 2nd and 11th houses of the main chart. It is unrelated to the hora of the Panchang, the planetary hour of the day.
