HARMONIC ATLAS (D60 · 60 DIVISIONS PER SIGN)D60 Shashtiamsa (Ṣaṣṭyāṃśa) — 00° 30' 00" (30' arc)
In the sixteen-fold divisional system (Shodashavarga) of Maharishi Parashara, D60 Shashtiamsa (Ṣaṣṭyāṃśa) partitions each 30° 00' sidereal sign into 60 harmonic segments of 00° 30' 00" (30' arc) to examine Past-Life Root Karma (Purva Punya / Sanchita), Twin Differentiation & Supreme Varga Verdict. Within jyotish_corpus_core_v3, D60 Shashtiamsa is indexed in 23 direct varga passages (13 shlokas) and 92 combined Shodashavarga concordance passages across 12 Sanskrit treatises.
D60 Shashtiamsa
D60 Shashtiamsa belongs to Bheda Cycle V (Supreme Causal Plane: D49–D60), correlates with the Twelfth and Fifth Causal Axis (Fifth Harmonic Completion: 5 × 12 = 60), and has Ketu and Surya (Causal Seed of Incarnation) as its natural significator. In the twenty-point Shodashavarga Vimshopaka Bala scale, D60 Shashtiamsa carries an official Parashari weight of 4.0 / 20.0 points.
PARASHARI DEGREE-PARTITION ALGORITHMMathematical Construction & Sign-Mapping Rules of D60 Shashtiamsa
The mathematical construction of D60 Shashtiamsa is codified in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 6 Verses 17 to 42 and Chapter 7 Verse 4 and Jataka Parijata Chapter 1 and Sarvartha Chintamani Chapter 1. To compute the harmonic placement of any Graha or Lagna in D60 Shashtiamsa, the astronomer takes the exact sidereal degree within the occupied sign: Sixty equal 0°30' segments (30 arc-minutes each); target sign counts from the occupied sign itself via (floor(deg × 2) mod 12), paired with 60 Saumya/Krura Shashtiamsa deities.
Across the composite Varga weighting schemes of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 7, D60 Shashtiamsa contributes 0.0 points in Shadvarga, 0.0 points in Saptavarga, 5.0 points in Dasavarga, and 4.0 points in the complete sixteen-chart Shodashavarga matrix.

VERBATIM CORPUS FOLIO & VIMSHOPAKA SYNTHESISArchival Public-Domain Folio Excerpt for D60 Shashtiamsa
This archival excerpt for D60 Shashtiamsa is retrieved from the public-domain edition of Jaimini Upadesha Sutras (Chapter 2, Verse 35) in jyotish_corpus_core_v3. In classical chart synthesis, D60 Shashtiamsa is never read in isolation from the root D1 Rashi chart and the D9 Navamsa chart.

When evaluating past-life root karma (purva punya / sanchita), twin differentiation & supreme varga verdict through D60 Shashtiamsa, the astrologer inspects three converging factors: the dignity of the D60 Lagna lord, the placement of the natural significator (Ketu and Surya (Causal Seed of Incarnation)) inside D60, and the D60 dispositor of the natal house lord corresponding to the twelfth and fifth causal axis (fifth harmonic completion: 5 × 12 = 60).
