Some Important points : 

Drekkana is an important chart. Some opine that it is the most important division and should never be ignored since it indicate the values of life and the poorva punya. It shows the outcome of any

action which can be positive or negative.

1. The Lagna lord, fifth lord and ninth lord of the birth chart are seen in D3. Lagna is atma, fifth is jeevatma and ninth is parmatma. If they are connected in dreshkana then it is a happy life.

2. Planets involved with third house or third lord shows failure or success of any activity.

3. The karmas of D3 are different from karmas of D10. Drekkana shows the fruits of any karma, where as dashamsha is the action of your karma.

4. Any planet when aspected by its drekkana lord in birth chart is very powerful and gives auspicious results. For example, Jupiter is placed in the sign of Saturn in drekkana chart. In the birth chart Jupiter is aspected by Saturn. Then Jupiter is very auspicious to give success in the actions granted by Jupiter.

5. The eighth house of drekkana chart is known as khara and its lord as kharesh. It is also called 22nd drekkana. Khara was a fierce warrior in the army of Ravana. He fought with lord Ram. Thus this kharesh shows our inner turmoil. The placement of kharesh from Lagna in the drekkana chart shows our internal fight. Placement in sixth house shows the struggle related to disease, debt or enemy.

6. Each drekkana consist of four dwadashamsha. First part is ruled by Ganesh, second part by Ashwani Kumar, Third part by Yama  and the fourth part by Ahi or Serpent.

7. Placement of Lagna lord in Sarpa drekkana is not welcomed.The person will have jealousy for others, is secretive, scheming and the spouse may get terminal disease. When fifth or ninth lord are placed in Sarpa drekkana, then no rise in life and the person has to put in lot of efforts but the situations will force failure. Tenth lord placed in Sarpa drekkana do not promise fulfilment in profession and person is indecisive.

8. Placement of planets (except eighth lord and Saturn) in    Ayudha Drekkana is welcome. Igrants valour and vitality and many deficiencies are made up by self effort. Eighth lord or Saturn in Ayudha drekkana gives accidents and hurt by sharp weapons.

9. The placement of planet in Chatuspad drekkana gives a balance in life. The person thinks well before the action. Earns fame which

is permanent. They are very conscious before others. The placement of Moon and Mercury in this drekkana makes an intelligent person but association of malefics will make him self centred.

10. Pakshi drekkana is not stable. It stands for communication and never stays at one place. He cannot hurt anyone and is not social.

This placement of Lagna lord, eighth lord or Saturn will cause unnatural death.

11. Female drekkana are the Laxmi drekkana and a person is blessed with wealth, pleasing personality, rises high in society in many

ways, takes care of the whole family. If the rajyoga karaka planets occupy this drekkana and are placed in angles or trines then occupies high position and have all amenities in life.

12. A strong lagna promise birth of co born. If lagna/ lord is afflicted then it indicates denial of co born.

13. A dhana yoga present indicates many co-born.

14. A raj yoga present indicates highly placed co born.

15. Afflicted or badly placed third house and/or third lord deny younger siblings.

16.For denial of elder sibling the eleventh house/ lord is afflicted or badly placed.

17. Mercury and Jupiter are Satwik planets, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are Tamsik. Sun and Venus are Rajsik. Moon can be Tamsik or Rajsik according to paksha bala. The auspicious placement in drekkana of these planets is given in tabular form. We can classify the drekkana for Gunas, with this table e.g. third drekkana of

fixed sign is Rajsik.
