Importance of D-3 Drekkana / Dreshkana / Decante.

Part-1 of 3
In Vedic Astrology it is referred as Drekkana /Dreshkana (mostly Drekkana) and is 1/3 of a
sign equal to 10 degrees: there are three Drekkana in each sign. Drekkana holds an important
position in divisional charts. Various ancient and classical texts have mentioned different
methods of calculating Drekkana.
1. Parashara Drekkana
2. Jagannath Drekkana
3. Somanath Drekkana
4. Privritti-traya Drekkana
Parashara Drekkana:
This is the most commonly used Drekkana in Vedic astrology. In fact when you read about
Drekkana anywhere without specific reference then it is understood that it is this Drekkana.
Parashara Drekkana is used to know about the sibling of a person and analyzing all matters
related to co-borns.
Jagannath Drekkana:
This Drekkana reflects karma of previous life of a person. D-60 must be analysed along with it.
Somnath Drekkana:
Somnath Drekkana is used to know about the sexual drive of a person and describes the attitude
of a person towards the sexual matters and his libido. This is generally used in Prashna Jyothisha.
Privritti-traya Drekkana:
This chart is used to see the drives and initiatives that the person apply to achieve his goals. This
is generally used in Prashna Jyothisha.
Parashara Drekkana
Generally the first Drekkana of any sign is ruled by the owning planet, second Drekkana by the
5th lord and the third Drekkana by the 9th lord. For example, the first Drekkana of Aries is ruled
by Mars, the second Drekkana is owned by Sun and the third Drekkana is owned by Jupiter.
Sage Parashara named three sages as lords of three Drekkana of each sign as follows:-
For Movable Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn – Narada, Aghastya and Durvaasa
For Fixed Signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius – Aghastya, Durvaasa and Narada
For Dual Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius & Pisces- Durvaasa, Narada & Aghastya
Significance of Lordship
Narada Muni was known for his ‘Bhakti’ (Devotion) to the Supreme Lord. Bhakti is the prime
necessity of the soul; therefore Narada might represent the Atma, or the soul.
Aghastya Muni is associated with mind in many places in the Vedas.
Durvaasa Muni was famous for his efforts to control his senses, therefore he represents the
Indriyas, or senses. So we might say that the three Drekkanas of the signs may refer to the soul,
the mind and the senses.
Parashara states that the Drekkana Chart should be used to analyze relationship with
siblings, or co-borns. We might conclude that the planets in the Drekkanas ruled by Narada
would denote the spiritual/karmic relations to the native’s brothers. Those in the Drekkanas ruled
by Aghastya would signify the mental/psychological effects from brothers, and those in the
Drekkanas ruled by Durvaasa would refer to the sensual/physical comfort or discomfort caused
by the brothers and sisters.
