There are a number of more or less fanciful diagrams (cakra) used for
particular purposes in Indian astrology, often as a means of classifying
the nakṣatras. I don't know the origin of the avakahaḍā- or hoḍā-cakras,
but the latter one is typically used to determine suitable names based
on the nakṣatras in an individual horoscope. There are plenty of
non-scholarly discussions of both diagrams on the web, especially if you
enter search terms in Devanagari (अवकहडा चक्र, होडा चक्र).
Best wishes,
Martin

Dear Friends,
I am looking for information on the Avakahaḍa or Hoḍa Cakra. All that
I could find on the net was a reference to an article in Jyotish
Digest, 3rd Quarter 2012, but when I tried to access it, my computer
went wild with warnings about possible identity theft, so I left it alone.
Does anyone know anything about this?
thanks in advance,
Matthew
