HARMONIC ATLAS (D7 · 7 DIVISIONS PER SIGN)D7 Saptamsa (Saptāṃśa) — 04° 17' 08.57" (257.14' arc)
In the sixteen-fold divisional system (Shodashavarga) of Maharishi Parashara, D7 Saptamsa (Saptāṃśa) partitions each 30° 00' sidereal sign into 7 harmonic segments of 04° 17' 08.57" (257.14' arc) to examine Progeny (Santana), Dynastic Continuity, Creative Legacy & Grandchildren. Within jyotish_corpus_core_v3, D7 Saptamsa is indexed in 28 direct varga passages (14 shlokas) and 94 combined Shodashavarga concordance passages across 13 Sanskrit treatises.

In the twenty-point Shodashavarga Vimshopaka Bala scale, D7 Saptamsa carries an official Parashari weight of 0.5 / 20.0 points.
PARASHARI DEGREE-PARTITION ALGORITHMMathematical Construction & Sign-Mapping Rules of D7 Saptamsa
The mathematical construction of D7 Saptamsa is codified in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 6 Verse 6 and Chapter 7 Verse 8 and Saravali Chapter 3 Verse 9 and Jataka Parijata Chapter 1. To compute the harmonic placement of any Graha or Lagna in D7 Saptamsa, the astronomer takes the exact sidereal degree within the occupied sign: Divides each sign into seven 4°17'08.57" arcs; in odd signs counting starts from the sign itself, while in even signs counting starts from the 7th sign.
Across the composite Varga weighting schemes of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 7, D7 Saptamsa contributes 0.0 points in Shadvarga, 1.0 points in Saptavarga, 1.5 points in Dasavarga, and 0.5 points in the complete sixteen-chart Shodashavarga matrix.
