Navmasha chart has been given a great deal of importance along with Rashi chart as primary determinant of Planet’s strength. Thus if a planet is exalted or very strong in Natal chart but is weak in Navamasha then that planet will be considered weak. On the contrary if the planet is weak in the main Rashi chart but is strong in Navmasha then it is considered to produce good results.hence, it can be understood as if Rashi chart is Television and Navmasha is the antenna that receives signals. until and unless Antenna is not good enough to receive signals, a high quality TV cannot produce crystal clear picture.
