Grahas in benefic Shashtiamshas produce auspicious,
while the opposite is true in case of Grahas in malefic Shashtiamshas."
"The bhava whose lord is in a malefic Shashtyamsha will diminish, so say Garga and others."
-- BPHS Ch. 7, Shloka 8
One Shasthyamsa = 30 minutes of Arc.
Therefore = 720 Shasthyamsas in the full 360 degree circle.
Shasthyamsha lords are either malefic or benefic.
Evaluating retrograde graha
One use of D-60 is to determine whether a retrograde planet will give fruits or not. Retrograde planet results are normally delayed, but not denied.
Some schools of thought assert that a retrograde malefic gains power, while a retrograde benefic loses power. There is some merit to the different opinions on the true effects of retrograde. The Shashtyamsha lord help make the determination of good or difficult results because the Shashtyamsha lord will either be malefic or benefic, and this may help to settle the case.
If the graha falls into a malefic Shashtyamsha, it is considered that negative karma is operating i.e. there is a need for payback. In the case of negative Shashtyamsha position it becomes more likely that results of the graha will be delayed or denied denied.
D-60 shows unpaid moral debt from past lives.
One use of D-60 is to determine whether a retrograde planet will give fruits or not. Retrograde planet results are normally delayed, but not denied. However if there is significant karmic requirement for payback through the retrograde planet, then it becomes more likely that results are truly denied.
D-60 may reveal the downside of an otherwise excellent-looking radix planet. It is common to see the exalted planets of morally corrupt political dictators and apparently successful thieves, as being quite devastated in the D-60. This situation indicates that a temporarily powerful person will endure a tragic fall from power.
Jyotishi check the D-60 to correct their spot judgment regarding especially magnificent planets. If that exalted Guru in dharma bhava seems intuitively too good to be true, it probably is. The D-60 will reveal the karmic underbelly if there is one.

"Shashtiamsha (1/60th part of a Rashi, or half a degree each).
To calculate the Shashtiamsha Lord
ignore the Rashi position of a Graha
take the degrees etc. it traversed in that Rashi.
Multiply that figure by 2
divide the degrees by 12.
Add 1 to the remainder, which will indicate the Rashi, in which the Shashtiamsha falls.
The Lord of that Rashi is the Graha, ruling the said Shashtiamsha.
