DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RASI CHART AND BHAVA CHART
The difference between rasi chart and bhava chart can be delineated with an example,
Suppose a planet is placed 8th from lagna in rasi chart, but is getting located in 7th bhava in bhava chart,
It will give the result of 7th bhava during the dasa of that planet ,but due to its being 8th from lagna(a dusthana} the result of that dasa will be malefic with relation to that bhava(ie, problem with spouse etc}
Normally yogas ,aspects etc are considered only from Rasi charts and
Divisional charts are used only along with rasi charts (even though different authorities are divided on this issue}
Bhava charts are used only for the correct delineation of bhava results.
One another important factor to be considered while analzing these two charst are the impact of rasi sandhi and bhva sandhi of planets with respect to its bhalas(results}.
Rasi sandhi & Bhava sandhi are totally different.
One rasi normally consists of 30 degree rt, so planets placed in the very beginning & very close of each rasis can be called , placements in rasi sandhis.
(ie normally from 0-1 degree in the beginning & 29-30 degree in the end).When planets are placed in rasi sandhi it becomes very weak to support the house it lords and its houses loose its merits generally.Worst of Rasi sandhi dosha is Gandantha sandhi doshas ie, sandhi between fiery & watery rasis(eg, Pisces- Aries,cancer-Leo etc).So birth in these conjunctional points can be troublesome generally.Simply those planets thats is getting changed from D-1 chart to Bhava chart can be termed as planets placed in rasi sandhi.
Bhava sandhi means while calculating Bhava sputa ,planets are getting placed either in Bhava beginning(arohi), Bhava madhya or towards the end of the bhava(avarohi), so those planets closely placed towards the beginning & end of of the Sputa is called planetary placements in bhava sandhi.Planets in bhava sphutta sandhi is bad and bhava madhya is good ,and if it is on either side, it is known as arohi ( means increasing ) and avarohi ( means decreasing ) . The result is that planets placement effect with regard to that bhava is almost nil.For example, we all know that Sun’s placement generally in the Lagna Bhava makes the person Bald and have defective eye sight.However, if Sun is placed quite far from the degree of the Lagna, near the sandhi (around 15 degree away from each side of lagna degree), these effects will not be prominent

MY NOTE :
Natal chart is used for understanding planets. Bhav Chalit is used for predicting the house results. Never Put Signs in a bhava chalit Chart .
bhava Chalit From Its Names is used to be show ‘bhavas and Not Rasis .Chalit chart is used for reading the dasa and antardasa effect for the areas of life governed by the houses. Suppose you have sun in Aquarius in 6th house in natal chart and if moves to Capricorn in bhav chalit chart then it means that sun will govern the activities of 5th house Capricorn but still act as if it’s in it’s sign Aquarius .
Planets in houses may change in bhav chalit chart but planets retain the property of the sign they occupy in natal chart.
I am reproducing below an extract from the book “Catechism of Astrology – Vol.I” by Dr.B.V.Raman.
“Question No.30: How do you find out who is the lord of the bhava when one bhava is represented by two rashis?
Answer: Bhava Madhya represents the central point of a bhava. The lord of the rasi where the central point falls is the lord of that Bhava.”
A planet gives results of both Rasi and Bhava positions and a good astrologer must be able to judge precisely.
