Conjunction Mapping in BNN Astrology: Visualising the Full Chart Picture
How to map all conjunctions in a chart to see the complete picture of a person's life
Reading individual conjunctions (yutis) house by house is essential BNN practice. But to truly understand a chart, you need to see all the conjunctions at once — the conjunction map. This is a visual and analytical technique where you map every yuti in the chart simultaneously, revealing the overall pattern of energy concentration, life emphasis, and inter-house connections that define the native's life story.
What Is a Conjunction Map?
A conjunction map is a summary of every multi-planet house in the chart. It answers the question: Where is life energy concentrated, and how is it distributed?
To create one, list each house that contains two or more planets, along with the planets and their degrees:
| House | Planets (by degree) | Yuti Type |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Mercury (5°) + Mars (19°) | Mixed (benefic + malefic) |
| 7th | Venus (8°) + Jupiter (12°) + Saturn (24°) | Triple yuti (2 benefics + 1 malefic) |
| 10th | Sun (3°) + Rahu (17°) | Malefic pair |
This map immediately tells you that life energy is concentrated in the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses. The remaining houses either have single planets or are empty. The native's life revolves around communication/effort (3rd), marriage/partnerships (7th), and career/public status (10th).
What the Conjunction Map Reveals
- Energy concentration — Houses with multiple planets dominate the native's life experience. A chart with a five-planet cluster in one house is fundamentally different from a chart with planets evenly distributed.
- Empty zones — If an entire trine circuit has no conjunctions, those life themes operate more passively. The native may not struggle in those areas, but they are not the focus of life energy either.
- Dominant trine circuit — Which trine circuit has the most conjunctions? That circuit drives the native's primary life narrative. Heavy Artha circuit conjunctions (2-6-10) suggest a life defined by work and wealth. Heavy Moksha circuit conjunctions (4-8-12) suggest a life defined by transformation and inner journey.
- Yuti quality balance — Count the benefic-benefic, malefic-malefic, and mixed yutis. A chart dominated by malefic yutis has a fundamentally different flavour than one dominated by benefic yutis.
Conjunction Mapping and Life Narrative
The conjunction map is your high-level reading tool. Before diving into specific questions, scan the conjunction map to understand the overall shape of the life. This context prevents tunnel vision when answering specific questions. If the conjunction map shows heavy 4th and 8th house activity (Moksha circuit), and someone asks about career (Artha circuit), you know that career is not this native's primary life theme — their journey is more about inner transformation. The career answer must be given within this broader context.
The conjunction map tells you the story the chart wants to tell. Individual questions are chapters within that story.
Building the Map: Step by Step
- Open the chart and list all planets with their houses and degrees.
- Identify every house with 2+ planets.
- For each conjunction, classify it as benefic-benefic, malefic-malefic, or mixed.
- Note which trine circuits are most active.
- Identify the house with the most planets — this is the chart's "centre of gravity."
How to Apply This
Generate your chart with the free BNN Kundli Tool and build your conjunction map. Identify your chart's centre of gravity and dominant trine circuit. This gives you the big-picture context before diving into any specific question. The BNN Sutras Course teaches conjunction mapping as part of the comprehensive chart reading methodology.

- Use the map for big-picture context before answering specific questions.
- The dominant trine circuit tells you the primary life narrative.
- Individual questions are chapters within the larger story the conjunction map reveals.
