Basic Significators 1.

A planet signifies the matter through the following three levels according to the occupation and
lordship of the houses:

1) The planet signifying the source of the matter;

2) The star lord of the planet revealing the nature of the results of the matter;

3) The sub lord of the planet showing as the deciding factor whether the matter is favorable or not.

2. A star lord is stronger than a planet and a sub lord is more powerful than a star lord. KP is the sub
lord theory, nothing else. The discovery of the influence of the sub lord has added a new dimension
to the stellar astrology. If the indication at the star level is general, the sub makes it specific. If a
planet is in the star of the occupant of the 2nd house of finance, but in the sub of occupant of the
12th house of loss, the result will be financial loss. If the sub lord is a strong significator of 11th
house of gain, it is the indication of financial gain. If the sub lord is a strong significator of 6th house
of loan, there will be financial gain through borrowing.

3. The sub lord is useful as the deciding factor in the following cases:

1) Whether a planet is auspicious or inauspicious for the house signified by that planet according to
the sub lord of that planet;

2) Whether the matter denoted by the house in question is promised or not according to the cuspal
sub lord of that house;

3) Whether the DBA lords are favorable or unfavorable for the event under study as per their sub
lords;

4) Which sub dasa would give the marriage and which sub dasa would cause the divorce during the
same dasa by only gleaning from the sub only in KP;

5) Whether a planet is the strong significator of the houses for which that planet is the cuspal
sublord depending on whether there is any planet in the star of that planet;

6) What planets should be selected as the fruitful significators when the planets are the significators
of many or almost all houses.

4. The division of star, sub and sub-sub etc as dasa, bhukti, antara and sookshma was known before
to find out the timing of an event only. Credit goes to Guruji KSK for using these divisions up to the
star and sub in the Hindu astrology for the first time to examine whether the cusps and planets are
really fruitful or not.

5. Guruji KSK has provided his rasi chart together with the navamsa chart side by side in the KP
Reader III and the unprecedented 3-page detailed table of navamsa calculation in the KP Reader I
without applying the navamsa anywhere. It is perhaps his expression of gratitude to the navamsa for
giving the idea of nakshatra navamsa or one-ninth division of the nakshatra in the manner of
Vimshotari Dasa system.

6. The star lord effect of the dasa lord planets, i.e. analysis of the planet together with its star lord,
has been taken into consideration since about 2000 years ago in Satyacharya’s Dhruvanadi and
nowadays Page 48 in B.V. Raman’s My Experiences in Astrology, How to Judge a Horoscope and
Notable Horoscopes. Without applying the influence of the sub lord in prediction and the Placidus
house system in casting a horoscope, it is not KP. Also it is no more KP, if the sub is not considered as
the deciding factor.

7. In order to get the better prediction results, all the houses signified at all three levels of planet,
star and sub are to be jointly considered (like C. R. Bhatt, K.M. Subramanium of Sub Lord Speaks,
Kanak Bosmia, Umang Taneja), for instance:

1) The houses signified at the first two levels of star and planet are going to give the desired results,
if they are supported by the sub signification. In the context of culmination of the particular event,
the planet can be said to be the strongest.

2) On the other hand, the houses signified in the first two levels cannot give the desired results, if
they are opposed by the sub signification. Here the planet is rendered weak.

3) In some cases, the houses strongly signified at the sub level only, although not signified in the first
two levels, can give the desired results but with difficulty. The planet is supposed to be average.
Order of Significators 8. The order of significators from grade A to E preference is as follows:

A) Planets posited in the star of the occupant of the concerned house;

B) Occupant of the concerned house;

C) Planets posited in the star of the lord of the concerned house;

D) Lord of the concerned house;

E) Planets which are in conjunction with or aspected by the significators (referring the Original
Krishnamurti Padhdhati Vol. 2 pp 114, 118, 301, 303, 308; KP Reader III pp 342; IV pp 118, 128, 201;
V pp 149, 201; VI pp 157, 197, 247).

9. Based on the logic of a star lord being stronger than a planet and the occupant in a house being
stronger than the owner of the house:

A) A planet in the star of the occupant of a house is stronger than the occupant and the planet is the
strongest grade A significator of the house occupied by its star lord;

B) If there is no planet in the star of the occupant, then the occupant, grade B significator, becomes
the strong grade A significator;

C) The planet in the star of the owner of a house, grade C significator, is stronger than the owner,
grade D significator, and if the house is vacant, i.e. no grade A and B significators, then the planet of
grade C significator becomes the strong grade A significator;

D) If the house is vacant, i.e. no grade A and B significators, and if there is no planet in the star of
the owner of the house, i.e. no grade C significator, then the owner of the house of grade D
significator becomes the strong grade A significator of that house.

E) As the grade A significators are strongest, the weakest grade E significators are generally applied
as the last resort. In this regard, Guruji KSK has encouraged to apply the Western aspects but not
practically applied or explained how to deal with the nature of Western aspects like good for trine,
bad for square, other than to find out the exact distance. (KP Reader I) Page 49 M.P. Shanmugam’s
view in Astrosecrets & KP Part 1 that when the outer planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) aspect the inner
planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus), the inner planets are subjected to the significations of the outer
planets- has been found working in some DBA analysis by Kanak Bosmia. In the example chart,
Jupiter aspects Moon and Moon has to give the results of Jupiter as per KP signification. As another
example; Moon has to give the results of Mars in the case of Mars is in conj. with Moon.

Tables of Significators 10.

For the attached example chart, the significators of planets are as compiled under. Table 1:

* Planet in own star

+ Planet having any planet in its star

# Close to the 1st cusp within 3° 20' orb

11. For the row of Sun in the above Table 1, as per the cuspal positions of the example chart, Sun is
not the cuspal sub lord of any cusp and so there is no cusp for Sun in the 1st column. From the
planetary positions, Sun is in the 12th house (sigificator B) and does not own any house as no cusp
falls in Leo owned by Sun (blank significator D). The empty Leo is called the intercepted sign. Sun is in
the star of Venus and sub of Saturn. Venus is in 12th (significator A) and lord of 1st house
(significator C). Sun’s sub lord Saturn is in 6th and lord of 10, 11th houses as shown in the last
column. The sub lord does not favor the matters of 12th house as the sub signifies 11th house (12th
to 12th house).

12. Similarly, Moon is the sub lord of 7, 9th cusps in the 1st column. Moon is in 10 (B), lord of 4,5 (D),
in own star Moon in 10 (A), lord of 4,5 (C) and in the sub of Mercury in 12, lord of 2,3,6 as shown in
the Moon’s row. The 10th signification by Moon is strong with the support of 2, 6th signification by
the sub Mercury. Mars is in the sub lord of 1st cusp, in 1 by being close to the 1st cusp within 3° 20'
orb (in 12 without applying the orb theory), lord of 7, in the star and sub of Moon in 10, lord of 4,5,
and so Mars is a strong significator of 10th house. Mercury is the sub lord of 2nd cusp, in 12, lord of
2,3,6, in the star of Ketu in 4, also signifying 6,10,11,5 and in the sub of Sun in 12. Thus Mercury is a
strong significator of 12th house. Without having any planet in its star, Jupiter is a self strong planet
to give the strong Page 50 positional signification of 12th house and the additional strong
signification of 10th house by being the sub lord of 10th cusp. Saturn is strong to signify 6,10,11th
houses by being in own sub.
 13. For Rahu/Ketu, the computerized table of significators usually shows its positional house and the
houses occupied and owned by its star lord only. Its signification as the agent of the planets is shown
in the bracket and explained in the section of the Rahu/Ketu significators.

14. It can be found in the above Table 1 that the 1st house significators are Saturn in grade A
column, Mars in grade B column, Sun in grade C column and Venus in grade D column and they are
accordingly noted down in the Table 2 as shown below.

Table 2: Significators of Houses Plt A B C D Sub 1 Sa# Ma# Su Ve Ma 2 Ve Me Me 3 Ve Me Ve 4 Me

15. The 2nd house significators are none in A and B, Venus in C and Mercury in D. The 3rd house
significators are none in A and B, Venus in C and Mercury in D, the same as for the 2nd house. Finally
the 12th house significators are Sun, Jupiter, Venus in A, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus in B, none in C
and Jupiter, Rahu in D. According to the grading A to D, the order of the 12th house significators is
Sun, Jupituter, Venus, Mercury and Rahu but it will be changed to the order of Jupiter, Sun, Venus,
Mercury and Rahu, after taking into consideration of the frequency in appearance. Moreover, the
12th signification of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Rahu is in line with their sub signification of 12th
house, and Sun’s signification is opposed by its sub signification of 11th house (12th to 12th house).
The grading of Rahu can be moved ahead as per signification order by conjunction, aspect, star lord
etc.

Rahu/Ketu Significators

16. Generally Rahu/Ketu indicates (in KP Readers and Bhatt’s Nakshatra Chintamani): 1) Firstly, the
results of planet with which it is conjoined; 2) If no planet is in conjunction, the results of planets
aspecting it; 3) If neither is conjoined nor aspected, the results of the star in which it is deposited; 4)
Lastly, the result of the lord of the sign in which it is deposited. Page 51

17. In the review of the practical examples of Rahu/Ketu signification in the KP Readers, the findings
are as follows: (Details in Rhu/Ketu Rules in KP, KP E-Zine, May 2007)

1) The Hindu aspects of house to house and conjunction in the same rasi are used;

2) Aspect of Rahu/Ketu is not applied at all;

3) The importance of strong significators is considered whenever appropriate by taking into account
of the occupation of star lord, Rahu/Ketu in own star, Rahu/Ket having no planet in its star and the
empty houses.

4) Although it is quoted "only when it is neither conjoined with, nor aspected by any planet, it
represents the sign lord" , whether Rahu/Ketu being in position of planet or star lord or sub lord, the
results of the followings are taken into consideration depending on relevance to the matter under
consideration regardless of their sequence of preference:

(a) House occupied by Rahu/Ketu,

(b) Planet in conjunction with Rahu/Ketu,

(d) Star lord of Rahu/Ketu,

(e) Sign lord of rasi in which Rahu/Ketu is located.

5) Rahu/Ketu as the agent of the planets in conjunction or aspect or sign lord is supposed to give
whatever the planet concerned is to signify (KP Reader VI p 234) but only the houses occupied and
owned by the planet are commonly considered, and further results of the planet's star lord are
rarely considered.

18. In the attached example chart, Rahu is in 10, in the star of Moon in 10, lord of 4,5 and in the sub
of Jupiter in 12, lord of 8,9,12. Rahu acts as the agent of Moon in 10, lord of 4,5 by conjunction;
Jupiter in 12, lord of 8,9,12 by aspect and Saturn in 6, lord of 6,10,11 by sign lord of Capricorn. Rahu
in 10, in the star of Moon in 10, lord of 4,5 and in the sub of Jupiter in 12, lord of 8,9,12. So Rahu is
the significator of 10,4,5,12,8,9,6,11 houses.

Cuspal Sub Lord Significator

19. It has been experienced (by Kuppu Ganapathi, Vaikari Ramamurthy, Kanak Bosmia and others)
that a planet having no planet in its star is a strong significator of the houses for which it is a cuspal
sub lord. It is the additional significator to the basic and Rahu/Ketu signifiators.

20. In the attached example chart, Jupiter and Rahu do not have any planet in their stars. So Jupiter
is a strong significator of 10th house as it is the sub lord of 10th cusp. It is additional to the Jupiter’s
normal signification of 12,8,9 houses as shown in the Table 1. Rahu is the sub lord of 4, 5, 11, 12th
cusps to be a strong significator of these houses.

A Planet Close to the Next House Cusp

21. An experience of the orb theory (by K.S. Krishnamurti, K.M. Subramanium, T. Rajendra Kumar,
C.V. Tyagaraja Iyer, K. Subramaniam, Carl Woebcke, Michael McClain, Chandrakant R. Bhatt, Anant
Raichur, Page 52 Sunil Gondhalekar, Robert Hand in A Note on the Influence of a Planet near the
House Cusp, Astrovision, June 2008 ) is that a planet deposited close to the next house cusp within
3° 20' orb can give the results of the next house, and the planet is considered as if it is in the next
house. The tighter an orb is within 1°- 2 and no other planet is in the next house, the stronger the
signification of the next house will be. This is not an additional significator but a shift in the
signification of a house from the previous house to the next one.

22. If a planet is supposed to have influence on both the previous house, in which the planet is
physically posited, and the next house, to whose cusp the planet is close, the results of the next
house may not be effective as the previous house is detrimental or Vyaya or negative to the matters
of next house. (KP Reader III, IV; Bhatt’s Nakshatra Chintamani)

23. In the attached example chart, Mars at 10° Ta 20' 25’’ is close to the 1st cusp at 11° Ta 43' 32’’
within the commonly used orb of 3° 20'. So, as per the orb theory, it is to consider Mars as if it is in
the 1st house, although it is physically located in 12th house. Since it is very close to the 1st house
cusp within only 1° 23' orb and there is no planet in the 1st house, Mars will give the results of the
1st house other than the matters of 12th house. If Mars is supposed to give the results of both 12th
and 1st houses, the results of 1st house may not be effective as the 12th house is 12th or
detrimental or negative to the 1st house. Page 53
Importance of Fruitful Significators

1. An event happens during the joint period of DBAS of the significators of houses under
consideration. Many a time many planets and even all the 9 planets become the significators of the
relevant house. In cases where the significators of the houses under consideration exceed more than
four, the really beneficial or fruitful significators amongst them are to be found out after eliminating
the unimportant significators which are only tempters. This is really a very difficult task even for an
experienced KP astrologer and most failures in prediction are mainly due to the wrong selection of
fruitful significators. The KP analysis starts from the cuspal sub lord for a matter that ends as an
event with the help of fruitful significators.

First Method

2. The first method of selecting fruitful or beneficial significators is to see the cuspal sub lord of the
concerned houses, and to check which of the significators are posited in their stars. Those
significators who are in the stars of such cuspal sub lords can be taken straightaway as fruitful
significators. The rest can be dropped or eliminated by further consideration.

3. The sub lord of the significator is the deciding factor regarding the matters of the star lord and
planet. If the sub lord is harmonious to the matters indicated by the star lord and planet, the
significator gives favorable results. It is to take the planet which is posited in the sub of a significator
whose star is not tenanted. If the sub lord is detrimental to the matters indicated by the star lord
and planet, the significator does not give favorable results. It is to take the planet which is posited in
the sub of a significator whose star is not tenanted.

4. It is to find out whether a planet is a strong significator or a weak significator in the order in which
one makes the selection of the significators. For example of marriage, if a planet is not at all
connected with houses 2, 7, 11, except that one of the significators aspects it, then it is a weak
planet. If the sub lord of a planet is a strong significator of the matter under consideration, then that
planet is to be selected as a fruitful significator. But if the sub lord is one of the weak significators,
then it is a weak planet.

Second Method

5. The second method is to select the fruitful significators with the help of the Ruling Planets (RPs)
invented by Guruji KSK. According to “The RPs at the time of query would be the RPs at the time of
fructification of the event expected.”, the significators which are in common with the RPs are to be
selected as the fruitful significators for the event in question to get the correct result.

6. In their order of preference or strength, the following planets are called the RPs of the time when
the chart is cast and judgment undertaken:

1) Asc star lord

2) Asc sign lord

3) Moon star lord

4) Moon sign lord

5) Day lord Page 54

7. The day is from sunrise to next sunrise. The RPs are to be taken at the time of query or judgment.
Their help should be sought only when there is an urge to decide the significators which can bring
out the event under consideration. The RP which is in the star or sub of a retrograde planet should
be omitted and to take the remaining.

8. If Rahu or Ketu is in conjunction or aspect with the RP, or if it occupies the sign owned by the RP,
then Rahu and/or Ketu should be included in the RP.

9. Some KP followers have added two more RPs of Asc sub lord and Moon sub lord. For the purpose
of selecting the fruitful significators, the lesser number of RPs, i.e. the original 5 seems more
appropriate.

10. Even here, it is to select such of those planes which are deposited in such a sub that contributes
to the matter concerned. It is also to reject such a planet which happens to be both the significator
of positive and negative houses, for example of marriage, the positive houses 2, 7 and 11, and also
the significator of the negative houses 12 to 2 or 7 or 11, i.e., 1 or 6 or 10. If the dasa of such
significator is running, in a few cases it may not give marriage; and so the next period alone may give
marriage So that method of selection of fruitful significators is always useful.

Third Method

11. The third method of selecting fruitful significators is to check each significator whether its sub
lord is included in the list of the significators. If yes, such a planet can be selected as a fruitful
significators or else dropped. General Rules

12. As a general rule, all those significators which signify 12th to the relevant houses under
consideration should be rejected. The planet whose sub lord is the significator of the house negating
the house concerned i.e. in the 12th to the house concerned should be rejected as an unfruitful
significator. The planets which are in 6,8,12 to the concerned house are supposed not to contribute
to the matters signified by such houses. Similarly any house which is in 6, 8 and 12 to any house are
supposed to negate the matters governed by the house concerned.

13. Preference should be given to Rahu or Ketu, if it represents any significator. A planet which
appears many times amongst the significators/RPs or connected with various significators as their
star or sign or as a sub lord should be selected as the strongest to give the result. Conversely a
planet which is not in the sub lords of the concerned houses should be treated as the weakest in
producing the result. Page 55

1. Fixing the timing of event is the most difficult and important part of prediction. To get the basic
idea in this regard, an example of timing has been discussed in this article.

Example Chart 2. Example Chart: Female born on 16 September 1983, 2:23:30 AM IST, 5:30 East of

Is marriage promised?

3. Marriage is promised as 7 cuspal sublord (CSL) Moon signifies 7,11 in the following manner:

1) 7 CSL is Mo and no planet is in the star of Mo. So Mo is the strong significator of 7; (Kuppu
Ganapathi, Vaikari Ramamurthy, Kanak Bosmia and others)

2) Mo is in 6 l/o1; in the star of Ve in 1 l/o 4,11;

3) Mo is in the sub of Ra in 11; aspected by Ju+ in 5 l/o 6,9; signlord Ve in 1 l/o 4,11;
4) Mo is aspected by Sa in 4 l/o 7,8.

4. In judging marriage potential, the possibility of 2nd marriage and child birth also can be checked.
The 2nd marriage rules are checked as under:

1) 7 CSL Mo is in the dual sign Sg and it signifies 7,11. First rule is met.

2) 2 CSL Ma is in 1 l/o 5,10; in the star of Me in 2 l/o 3,12; in the sub of Ju in 5 l/o 6,9. Second rule
assuming the 2nd house as 2nd wife is not fulfilled as 2 CSL does not signify particularly 7 (legal
bondage) and 11. So 2nd marriage is not promised.

3) 9 CSL Sa is in 4 l/o 7,8; in the star and sub of Ra. Ra is in 11; aspected by Ju+ in 5 l/o 6,9; in the star
of Ma in 1 l/o 5,10; signlord Ve in 1 l/o 4,11. 9 CSL signifies 11,9. Third rule assuming the 9th house
as 2nd wife is satisfied.

House for 2nd Wife

5. There are two views on the house for 2nd wife as given under:

1) 2nd house is assumed as 2nd wife by (Rationale: 2nd being 8th from 7th signifies death of first

6. Child birth is promised as 5 CSL Ve signifies 2,11, i.e. Ve is in 1 l/o 4,11; in the star of Me in 2 l/o
3,12; in the sub of Sa in 4 l/o 7,8.

Fruitful Significators
7. In selecting the fruitful significators,

1) select the planets, only if both the significator and its sub lord signify the 2,7 and 11 houses, and
reject those planets in the sub signifying only 1,6 and 10 as they are 12th house to the house 2,7 and
11;

2) take the planets which are among the RPs at the time of judgment.

8. For the example chart, the significators for 2,7 and 11 are given as under: H No A B C D 2 Su, Me,
Ma, Ve, Ke Su, Me Su, Me Su 7 Ju Sa 11 Sa Ra Mo Ve

1) Among the significators for 2, only Ve in the sub of Sa signifying 7 is considered as a fruitful
significator and all other Su, Ma, Me, Ke are rejected for the following reasons:

a) Su and Me are in the sub of Ma signifying 1 (12 to 2) and 10 (12 to 11), without signifying
2,7 and 11.;

b) Ma and Ke are in the sub of Ju signifying 6, without signifying 2,7 and 11.

2) Among the significators for 11, Ra is rejected for being in the sub of Ju signifying 6, without
signifying 2,7 and 11.

3) Finally the fruitful significators for marriage are Ve, Ju, Sa and Mo. Page 57 Ruling Planets

9. The Ruling Planets

on 29 Aug 2008 at 09-09-12 PM DST (5hr West of GMT) at 39N05, 77W09 are as given under:

Planet Sgl Stl Sbl Lanna Ma Ve Ve Moon Su Ke Mo Day Lord Venus

1) Ma & Ke are in the sub of retrograde Ju and so they are rejected from the RPs.

2) It is to study whether the additional RPs of the sublords of Lagna and Moon are practically helpful
in selecting the fruitful signifcators.

Fixing DBAS

10. Current running Dasa is Mo (from.03 Sep 2001 to 03 Sep 2011). As discussed above in point 3,
Mo signifies 7,11 and is the sub of Ve signifying 11. So Moon Dasa is capable of giving marriage.

11. In Mo Dasa, Ve Bhukti is chosen as shown below:

1) Current running Bhukti is Me (from 04 Jul 2007 to 03 Dec 2008). Me is in 2 l/o 3,12; in the star of
Su in 2 l/o 2; in the sub of Ma in 1 l/o 5,10. Me is rejected for being in the sub of Ma signifying 1 (12
to

2) and 10 (12 to 11), without signifying 2,7 and 11. 2) Next Bhukti is Ke (from 03 Dec 2008 to 03 Jul
2009). Ke+ is in 5 and no planet is in the star of Ke. Ke is conj with Ju+ in 5 l/o 6,9; in the star of Me in
2 l/o 3,12; signlord Ma is in 1 l/o 5,10; in the sub of Ju in 5 l/o 6,9. Ke is rejected for being in the sub
of Ju signifying 6 (12 to 7), without signifying 2,7 and 11.

3) The following Bhukti is Venus (from 03 Jul 2009 to 03 Mar 2011). Venus in 1 l/o 4,11; in the star of
Me in 2 l/o 3,12; in the sub of Sa in 4 l/o 7,8. Ve signifies 2,11 and in the sub of Sa signifying 7. Ve is
also among the RPs. So Ve is selected as a fruitful significator for Bhukti.

12. In Ve Bhukti, the choice of Mo Antara is as explained below:

2) Mo signifies 7, 11 and in the sub of Ve signifying 11. Mo is among the RPs and so chosen as a
fruitful significator for Antara.

13. In Mo Antara, Sa Sookshma is selected as shown under:

1) Ma and Ra are in the sub of Ju signifying 6 (12 to 7), without signifying 2,7 and 11 and so they are
rejected;

2) Ju is not among the RPs; Page 58

3) Sa is among the RPs. Sa is in 4 l/o 7,8; in the star and sub of Ra in 11. Also taking into
consideration of Punarphoo by aspect of Sa on Mo, Sa is selected as a fruitful Sookshma lord.

14. Thus Mo-Ve-Mo-Sa DBAS (Dec 4 to 13, 2009) is chosen as a possible period for marriage.

Transit

15. Generally an event happens during the joint DBAS period of the significators when transit
agrees. Particularly at the time of event, Sun, Moon and joint period DBAS lords are generally found
to be transiting

1) mainly in the star or sub of the same joint period DBAS lords;

2) additionally in the star of the significators of the event (other than the joint period DBAS lords) in
the horoscope.

16. It is supposed to check not all planets but only chosen DBAS lords whether they are transiting in
the star or sub of the same DBAS lords. Here it is not open-ended to take the signification of
transiting DBAS lords which is not promised in the natal chart for them. And then for accurate
timing, it is to choose the transiting Sun and Moon, which are mostly found in the star or sub of
Sookshma lord at the time of event. For slow moving planets, in addition to stars and subs, the
bhavas they are transiting may be also taken into account and needless to say the subs will decide
the signification of transiting planets. . (KP Reader V, 2004, page 163: “One should not always
calculate the Ascendant for the place of birth unless the native is permanent in his birth place.”)

17. During the chosen Mo-Ve-Mo-Sa DBAS (Dec 4 to 13, 2009), a favorable transit for marriage after
13:07:22 PM IST on 06 Dec 2009 is as follows: Planet Sgl Stl Sbl Su Ma Me Ve Mo Mo Sa Ju Ve Ma Sa
Mo Sa Me Su Ve

Horary Marriage Prediction 1.

Here is an interesting case where Antara lord does not tally with the RPs.

Question: When would I likely to get married (searching for two years)?

Horary No: 34/249 Horary

Date: 11/10/2008

Horary Time: 14:05:12 PM IST Horary Place: L.G. Hospital- Ahmedabad, 23 N 00, 72 E 36

2. Mr. Kanak Bosmia’s analysis is as under: Page 59

1) Period lords are Ra-Ju-Mo-Ma.

Ju(8, 8-11), in the star of Ve(6, 1-6), in the sub of Ju(8, 8-11).

Mo(10, 3), in the star of Ra(9), in the sub of Ju(8, 8-11).

Ma(6, 7-12), in the star of Ra(9), in the sub of Sa+(4, 9-10).

Ra is agent of Ma(6, 7-12), Sa+(4, 9-10).

2) RPs

Sat_Sun_Rahu_Jup_Mer

Dasa lord Rah is in RPs, and also signifies 7, promising marriage.

Bhukti lord Jup is in RPs and signifies 11, promising marriage.

So marriage is promised during this Jup Bhukti up to 15/6/2009.

3) How would she look like?

7th sublord is Mer, in the star of Moon. Moon is in Kumbha and so she will be slim and good looking.
4) Is it happening any time soon - within 6 months?

As mentioned above, it would happen within 8 months from the date of judgment (most probably in
Rah Antara from 06 Feb to 15 Jun 2009).

5) If Antara lord is to be tallied with RP, it would need to select next Sat Bhukti which is not signifies
2,7,11 even though it appears 3 times in RPs. Next Mer Bhukti period may be too far away for a
Horary prediction.

3. Another interesting thing in this chart is that the sublord of 9 cusps including 2,7,11 for marriage is
Me(5, 2-5), in the star of Mo(10,3) and in the sub of Ju(8, 8-11). So 2,7,11 houses are deemed to be
connected and their cuapal sublord signifies 2,11 indicating marriage. Let us wait and see what
actually will happen.

Natal Green Card Prediction

4. Male born on 24 Feb 1997, 15:15 PM IST, 5:30 East of GMT, 23N02, 72E,34, Asc Ge 27:36:21,
Moon Ar 23:43:09, New KPA 23:26:52 (Courtesy of Swami ji and chart by KPAstro 3.0 is attached.) All
processes to get the US Green Card are over and some of his friends have already received it. He is
also very likely to receive very soon and the question on 6 Sept 2008 is to predict the probable dates
of receiving Green Card.

5. Generally to go abroad, the 12 cuspal sublord should signify 3, 9 (preferable) or 12. In addition,
the Asc cuspal sublord should signify 3, 9 or 12 to settle abroad. The significators of 3,9,12 are also to
be connected to each other. Page 60

6. In this chart the 12 cuspal sublord Ju+ signifies 3,12 and Asc cuspal sublord Ve signifies 12. Among
the significators Su, Ju for 3, Sa, Ke for 9 and Mo, Ju+, Ra for 12, Mo is in conjunction with Ke and Sa
aspects Mo (Punarphoo). So the Green Card (permanent stay permit with the prospect of
citizenship) is promised.

7. After living in US over 10 years since Dec 1977, the US is the native’s current residence (house 4).
So to get the Green, the houses 1 (self effort), 4 (current residence), 6 (success of effort) and 11
(fulfillment of desire) are mainly to be signified to let him stay on at the current place of residence
other than to move him out by the houses 3 (change in place), 9 (foreign going) and 12 (foreign
land).

8. The current running Dasa is Rahu (from 26 Jul 2004 to 26 Jul 2022). Ra(4), aspected by Mo(11, 2),
in the star of Ma(7, 6-11); Ra’s signlord and sublord is Ve(10, 5-12). Dasa lord Ra signifies 4,6,11 and
is connected with 12 by sub. So it is possible to get the Green Card in Ra Dasa.

9. The current running Bhukti is Jupiter (from 08 Apr 2007 to 02 Sept 2009). Ju+(11, 7-10). No planet
is in the star of Ju and Ju is the sublord of cusps 6,12. Ju is in the star of Su(8, 3), in the sub of Rah(4)
whose signification has been discussed above. Bhukti lord Ju signifies 6,11,12 and is connected with
4,6,11 by sub. The event can happen in this Ju Bhukti.

10. The current running Antara is Venus (from 13 Jun 2008 to 07 Nov 2008). Ve(10, 5-12), in the star
of Me(8, 1-4), in the sub of Ra(4) whose signification has been discussed above. Antara lord Ve
signifies 1,4,12 and is connected with 4,6,11 by sub. It is favorable for the fructification of event.

11. Thus Ra-Ju-Ve DBA would be capable of getting the Green Card. In the Ve Antara, to choose a
fruitful Sookshma the signification of current and coming Sookshma lords is checked as below:

1) The current running Sookshma is Jupiter (from 27 Aug to 16 Sept 2008). Ju is already taken as
Bhukti lord and it is too early to choose it for Sookshma.

2) The next Sookshma is Saturn (from 16 Sept to 09 Oct 2008). Sa+(1, 8-9). No planet is in the star of
Sa and Sa is a self strong planet for 1. Sa is in the star and sub of M(8, 1-4). Sookshma lord Sa signfies
1,9 and is connected with 1,4 by sub. It is favorable for the event to happen

3) The following Sookshma is Mercury (from 09 Oct o 30 Oct 2008). Me(8, 1-4), in the star of Ma(7,
6-11), and in the sub of Ju+(11, 7-10). Me signifies 1,4,6.11 and is connected with 6,11,12 by sub. But
Me is not in RPs.

4) The last Sookshma of Ve Antara is Ketu (from 30 Oct to 07 Nov 2008). Ke(10), conj with Mo(11,
2); aspected by Sa+(1, 8-9). Signlord is Ma(7, 6-11); in own star and sub of Su(8, 3). Ke is rejected for
being in the sub signifying 3 (12 to 4) and 8 (disappointment).

12. With the help of the following RPs, Sa Sookshma is chosen and Ra-Ju-Ve-Sa DBAS is the probable
period to get the Green Card.

Page 61 RPs at TOJ 8 Sept 2008, 16:36:22 PM IST at 27N11 78E02 (Courtesy of Swami ji) Asc: Sa--
Mo--Sa (Sgl-Stl-Sbl) Mo:--Ju--Ke--Ve (which is Ra's signlord) Day Lord -- Mo

13. A possible date would be 24 Sept 2008 (Ra/Ju/Ve/Sa/Ve), after 12-43-37 PM Washington D.C.
time (DST, 5hrs West of GMT), when transit Mo in the star of Sookshma lord Sa moves into the sub
of Antara lord Ve, and transit Sun and DBAS lords will be in the star and sub of DBAS lords as follows:
Su: Me-Su-Ve (Sgl-Stl-Sbl) Ra: Sa-Mo-Ve Ju: Ju-Ve-Ra Ve: Ve-Ra-Ra Sa: Su-Ve-Ju

14. As the house 8 is signified by all Antara, Bhukti and Sookshma dasa lords Ju, Ve, Sa, it is supposed
to get the Green Card after some kind of disappointment, like friends already got but not yet got, got
late etc.

15. Unfortunately there was a feedback of not yet receiving the job related Green Card in the quota
of the financial year ended at the end of Sept 2008. As the Green Card is promised and the present
job is also astrologically secured, it is still expected to get it in the new financial year before the end
of Venus Antara, 7 Nov 2008, after disappointment and delay due to the repeated signification of the
house 8 and Punarphoo effect.

Saturn Relevant to Timing of Events

1. In considering the effect of Saturn in the timing of events, the KP guidelines are as follows:

1) Saturn is considered to be a delaying planet and occasionally a denying one depending upon the
ownership and accidental occupation at the moment of birth of the native. Whenever Saturn is in
any manner connected with Moon or Mars or Jupiter, there cannot be delay. It can delay till its own
i.e. Saturn period commences and when Saturn sub-period starts, it fulfills surprisingly suddenly and
most satisfactorily. If Saturn is said to be a delaying planet, it does not allow the lords of the previous
sub-periods to offer the result which is he is also entitled to give. When Saturn is really very much
connected with houses 2, 7 and 11 by being the owner, by being the occupant of the constellation of
lord of 7, by aspecting the constellation of lord of 7, by aspecting 11 etc. and conjoined with Mars,
aspected by Jupiter etc., then Saturn does miracles with lightning speed. (KP & Astrology 1996, page
38)

2) Delay, dejection, disappointment, denial, etc. are caused by Sani, and strongly so if Sani occupies
the 5th house where from it will aspect the 7th, 11th and 2nd houses by its third, seventh and tenth
aspects respectively. Whenever Sani happens to be a significator of a particular matter, it will not
deny but will cause delay. If it is connected with houses 2, 7 and 11 by occupying the house or
owning it or situated in the constellation of the planet posited in any of these houses, it will cause
delay at every time- in fixation of marriage, celebration of marriage, etc. It will not Page 62 deny
marital happiness. But if Sani has no connection with houses 2, 7 and 11 but only throws its aspect,
this portends denial and even disappointment. Generally, all those in whose chart Sani is placed in
the 5th house will have their marriage, delayed and delayed till the very end. (KP Reader IV, page
109)

Saturn’s Effect of Delay or No Delay

2. When Punarphoo Dosha is present in the chart due to Saturn-Moon connection in any manner, it
is used to consider that there would be delay in marriage or happening of the event. However, Dr.
Rangarajan Krishnamoorthy has found in his study of 67 Punarphoo-effected Natal charts that only
32 (47.76%) charts corresponds to delayed marriage and 35 (52.24%) charts corresponds to no delay
in marriage, like in the charts of Dr. B.V Raman, Mrs. Sandy Crowther etc. It would be no delay in the
cases such as:

1) When Saturn is very much connected with houses 2,7 and 11 and Mars and Jupiter etc., then
Saturn does miracles with lightning speed.

2) If both Moon and Saturn involved in Punarphoo Dosha are connected strongly to 7th house,
Saturn gives marriage in its Dasha and/or Anthara.

3) Generally, whenever the 7th sub-lord happens to be Moon marriage comes in an earlier or in
proper age never late. (KP & Astrology 1996, page 37)

Choose or Avoid Saturn DBA

3. In considering whether Saturn DBA dasa periods are capable of giving marriage in the
Punarhooeffected charts, the views as given under:
1) Saturn who is a delaying planet will not allow marriage until his Bhukti or Anthara period is over
and the event will materialize only in a favorable dasa periods of the succeeding planets.

2) If Saturn becomes a strong significtor of the relevant houses under consideration, Saturn Dasa or
Bhukti or Anthara should be preferably considered for the timing of event as Saturn takes the credit
of giving the events while letting down his predecessor planets. It is supported by the above
conditions in #2 and some experience that the event is used to happen in Saturn, Moon DBAS
periods. (Dr. K.R. Kar, Shri Vaikari Ramamurthy, K. Subramaniam and Mr. Kanak Bosmia)

3) The bottom line is whether Saturn and Moon strongly signify 2,7,11 houses other than mere
connection of Saturn and Moon. Cancellation of Punarphoo

4. Dr. Kar's theory of cancellation of Punarphoo to destroy the evil effects of Punarphoo by burning
Sat or Moon by Sun's ray is found not significantly working by some experience of Mr. Kanak Bosmia,
Shri Rajendra Kumar and 15 Puarphoo-nullified example charts in Punarphoo book. (KPEzine July
2007, Astrovision December 2008) Page 63

5. Another cancellation idea of ‘Saturn giving: a) marriage without delay, if there is adverse Western
aspect between Moon and Saturn; b) delayed marriage, if there is Western favorable Western
aspect’ is to be tried. (KP for Beginners, Vol. V, 1994, page 744/ Punarphoo, 1999, page 74)

6. The experience is that whenever both Saturn and Moon are applying conjunction in the 7th house
or 8th house, the date of marriage is post-phoned and in the latter case, the marriage with the first
party breaks off and the marriage takes place with change of partner. But where both the planets
are in rapt conjunction (exact degree) in the said houses, the dosha is totally nullified and there is no
delay at all. (KP for Beginners, Vol. V, 1994, page 755/ Punarphoo, 1999, page 84)

Saturn’s Denial of Marriage

7. The above KP ruling in #1.2, “If Sani has no connection with houses 2,7 and 11 but only throws its
aspect, this portends denial and even disappointment.” is found working in the chart given below.

8. Chart 1: Male, 24 October 1964. 15.12 PM IST, 18N32, 73E52, New KPA (2003) 23:16:32, Asc Aq
14:16:06, Moon Dasa balance 1Y:8M:8D (attached). Saturn in 1st house throws aspect on 7th house
by Hindu aspect but Saturn does not signify any of 2,7,11 marriage giving houses, i.e. Saturn is in 12,
lord of 1,12 and in the star of Mars in 6, lord of 3,10. Moreover, 7th cusp sub-lord Venus is in the
deciding sub-lord of Moon, which is in 4, lord of 6. Thus marriage is denied as per KP.

Saturn’s Delay of Marriage till the Very End

9. Another above KP ruling in #1.2, “Generally, all those in whose chart Sani is placed in the 5th
house will have their marriage, delayed and delayed till the very end.” is also found working in the
following chart, causing delay of marriage till the very end of Saturn Dasa, i.e. Jupiter Bhukti of
Saturn Dasa.

10. Chart 2: Male, 09-03-1958, 17:30 PM IST, 14N15, 75E41, New KPA 23-10-59, Asc Le 09-53-44,
Rahu Dasa Bal 3Y-6M-3D. (attached) Saturn is in 5th house (sign) and aspects all marriage giving
houses 7,11,2 to cause the exceptionally prolong delay of marriage only on 27-05-1994 (Sa-Ju-Ju-Su
DBAS) though significators for 2rd house are Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Mercury, Rahu, Ketu, for 7th
Mars, Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Ketu and for 11th Mercury being capable of giving marriage in earlier
Bhuktis.
 11. It is to note that Saturn in 1,3,5,7 and 10 counted from lagna delays the time of fixation and
celebration of marriage. Saturn placed in the 5th house (house of celebration of marriage) aspecting
the 7th cusp by the 3rd aspect delays the wedding till the native gets disgusted and dejected

12. Chart 3: Female, 19-02-1974, 05:20 AM IST, 22N28, 70E04, New KPA 23-24-21, Asc Cp 01:34:28,
Sun Dasa balance 4Y:1M:1D (attached) In this chart Saturn is in 5th house (bhava) but 6th sign, not
5th sign. Since Saturn does not aspect marriage giving houses 7,11,2, the above said ruling in #1.2 or
9 is not applicable to this chart. Here Punarphoo is not present to give an excuse and delay of
marriage till now is possibly due to some negative signification of Rahu as 7th cuspal sub-lord and
lord of the current running Dasa. Page 64

1. By occupation and lordship, the Dasa lord and its star lord indicate the houses, whose matters will
be enjoyed during the Dasa period. The sub lord of the Dasa lord will indicate whether the results
indicated by the Dasa lord and its star lord will be positive or negative. If the planet is conjoined
with/ aspected by another planet, it will give the results indicated by another as the weak grade ‘E’
significators.

2. The same can be said about the Bhukti lord also. The Dasa lord is the most powerful commander.
No Bhukti lord can offer a result, if the Dasa lord does not permit. What the Bhukti lord can do is to
obstruct the Dasa lord from giving results but he cannot alter the result. The Antaara and Sookshma
lords can carry out the mandate of the Dasa/Bhukti lords, if they have similar significations as the
Dasa/Bhukti lords. If not, the event cannot take place in their Antara or Sookshma and will have to
wait for another Antara/ Sookshma periods when they can execute the results destined by the
Dasa/Bhukti lords. Planets form a cabinet. The prime minister is the Dasa lord. The Bhukti lords are
the ministers and the Antara lords are deputy ministers.

3. The Dasa lord can give the result in the case of marriage as follows:

1) If Dasa lord/its star lord signifies 2, 7, 11 and its sub also signifies 2,7,11, the marriage is fully
indicated in this Dasa period;

2) If Dasa lord/its star lord signifies 2, 7, 11 and its sub signifies 2,7,11 and also 6,8,12, the marriage
would take place but with a lot of difficulties;

3) If Dasa lord/its star lord signifies only 6, 8, 10,12, then no marriage is clearly indicated.

4. The following example chart- 1 (attached) shows that the Bhukti lord cannot provide the result,
which is not allowed by the Dasa lord.

1) Female, 04/07/1927, 2:00 GMT, 41N55, 13E06, Sid Time 21:36:45, KPNA 22:45:18, Venus Dasa bal
16Y:4M:25D (KPAstro 3.0)

2) The native married in January 1949 (Su/Ve Dasa/Bhukti) and divorced in 1971 (Ra/Ju).

3) The 2nd marriage is promised: a) 7CSL Ra signifies 2,7; b) 7CSL Ra is in the dual sign Gemini; c)
2SCL Ve signifies specifically 7 and also 11.

4) In October 2006 (Sa/Ke/Ke), at age 79, the native announced a wedding plan to marry her 45-
years-old companion for 22 years but the plan was called off due to media pressure around the
event.

5) Dasa lord Sa does not allow marriage by the signification of 6,10 and indicates only relation by 11:
Sa(6,6-91-11) is in own star Sa(6,6-91-11) and sub of Ve(4,1-6).
6) Bhukti lord Ke is favorable for marriage: Ke is in 7, aspected by Su(2,5) nd sign lord is Ju(11,8). Ke
is in own star and sub of Mo+(4,3-4). No planet is in the star of Mo, which is sub lord of 11.

7) Although the 2nd marriage is promised, the favorable Bhukti lord Ke cannot provide the marriage
which is not allowed by the Dasa lord Sa. Page 65

8) The previous Dasa (27/11/1984 to 27/11/2000) lord Ju also did not allow the marriage in any of its
Bhukti and only provided the relationship with her companion since 1984: Ju+(11,8) is in star Sa(6-9-
10-11) and sub Ve(4,1-6)

9) Without the 7th signification, only the 11th signification of Dasa used to provide the relation
(lover, companion, living together etc) only, not marriage.

5. The example chart-2 (attached) denotes that the Dasa lord can provide the result, which is not
supported by the Bhukti lord.

1) 05/05/1955, 16-07 GMT, 28N41, 77E12, KPNA 23-8-36, Asc Sc 26-04-19, Ra Dasa bal 17Y-
0M9D (KPAstro 3.0)

2) The native married in April 1979 (Ju/Me/Sa/Ju DBAS): Ju(8,2-4) is in own star Ju(8,2-4) and
sub Mo+(10,11). No planet is in star of Mo which is sub lord of the 2nd cusp. Me(6,8-10) is in
star Su(5, 9) and in own sub Me(6, 8-10). Sa+(11,3) is in star Ju(8,2-4) and sub Me(6,8-10). No
planet is in star of Sa which is sub lord of the cusps 6, 12.

3) Dasa lord Ju provides the marriage which is not in line with the signification of Bhukti lord
Me. In KP it is not a necessary condition for each DBA lord to signify at least one of the
required houses i.e. 2,7,11 for marriage. That is the reason for failure of the prediction
generally based on the houses which are commonly signified by all the dasa lords.

4) Ju/Me DB gives the marriage but Dasa lord Me is not capable of giving marriage as Me does
not signify 2,7,11 and in contrary signifies negative houses 6,8,10.

5) The results of Ju/Me DB and Me/Ju DB cannot be the same for marriage because of
contradictory significations by Ju and Me. The matter of similar significations by Ju and Me
may happen in both Ju/Me DB and Me/Ju DB.

6. Dasa/Bhukti will change in the cyclic order of the Vimshothari Dasa But the cuspal position is ever
the same and never will change. The cusps indicate whether the matter is promised or not.
Significators point the time of event. Both dasa and transit must agree for the event to materialize.
The agreement means that the dasa lords in transit should also signify the required houses. An
event, which is promised, happens in the joint period of DBAS signifying the required houses. A
promised event cannot happen, if the Dasa lords are not favorable.

7. Since an event cannot happen without being promised and the cuspal sub lord of a house is all
powerful, it is worthy to test the following rules whenever they are relevant:

1) One cannot suffer the accident in the period of the dasa lord signifying 8th , if the 8th
cuspal sub lord is the significators of 3 and 11, which promise a life without accidents;

2) One cannot suffer all the adverse matters indicated by the 12th house in the Dasa of 12th
house significator, if the 12th cuspal sub lord is strongly signifies the improving houses
1,2,3,6,10,11, especially 11th , as in the chart of Mr. Tony Blair;
 3) The effect of the 11th Badhaka can be relieved, if the 11th cuspal sub lord signifies the 10th
house, which is 12th to 11th house, etc. Page 66

8. The karaka without the signification of the required houses is not a significator itself but the
limited use of the karaka can be considered:

1) The dasa lords connected with 4th house and Mars will indicate house. 4th house and
Venus indicates conveyance. 4th house and Moon govern mother. 4th house and Mercury
indicates education.

2) If the 4th cusp and Moon occupy the constellation of significators of the 9,11,3 houses and
if the sub belongs to Badhaka, Maraka to the 4th house, the mother will be unhealthy and not
live long.

3) The karaka planets are helpful in the identification of diseases. Page 67

1. A planet signifies the matters through the following three levels:

1) The Planet itself

2) The Star Lord of the Planet

3) The Sub Lord of the Planet

2. In order to get the better prediction results, all the houses signified at the planet level, star level
and sub level are to be jointly considered, keeping in mind that the houses signified in the first two
levels opposed by the sub-lord signification cannot give the desired results and the houses strongly
signified at the sub level, even though not signified in the first two levels, can give the desired
results. This approach has been practiced by Shri C. R. Bhatt and followed by Mr. Kanak Bosmia with
success, and it has been found that sometimes the events happen by the sub signification only.

3. In addition, a cuspal sub-lords becomes the strong significators of houses for which a planet is the
cuspal sub-lords, if that planet has no planet in its star. Moreover, if a planet is deposited close to
the next cusp within 3deg:20min orb, its signification of the next house is also to be considered.

4. The sub-lord of a planet decides whether that planet is auspicious or in auspicious for the house
signified by that planet. Sri K.M. Subramanium has also reminded in his last ‘Sub Lord Speaks article
LX ‘that the sub-lord of a planet tells the fructification of certain matters, shown by the sub-lord and
the result of either good or bad in terms of the signification of the sub-lord. In judging the
signification of the sub-lord, he used to consider the star-lord of the sub-lord.

5. The sub-lord gives the decision in selecting the fruitful significators whose sub-lords are the
significators of the required houses in such cases when a planet is the significator of many or almost
all houses. In a theory which takes the sub-lord as a significator, not a decider, the sub-lord is no
more helpful for selection of fruitful significators in such cases.

6. The cuspal sub-lord is also a planet and considering its star-lord is the second level but not the
fourth level judgement. Just as the favorable or unfavorable effect of a planet in DBA analysis is
controlled by its sub, an examination of the cuspal sub-lord of a house enables to decide finally and
clearly, whether the matter denoted by that house in question is promised or not.

7. During the same dasa level, the sub-lords of the dasa lords indicate marriage in a sub dasa level
and divorce in another sub dasa level and the same for sickness and cure etc., for which KP is
capable to provide a clear prediction.
8 The application of only the first ‘two levels’ of planet and star-lord has been done since ‘Shri
Satyacharya’s Dhruvanadi’ of about 2000 years ago to Dr. B.V. Raman’s ‘How to Judge a Horoscope
and Notable Horoscopes’. Without applying the sub-lord in prediction and the Placidus house system
in casting a horoscope, it is not KP.

9. As Shri Kuppu Ganapathi has mentioned, KP is the sub-lord theory, nothing else and the discovery
of the systematic sub application in methods of prediction has crowned KP with success. Page 68

10. The following theories have been invented on the basis of KP principles but by changing the role
of the sub-lord as per KP:

1) Sub Sub Theory by Dr. Pt. K. R. Kar applying the sub-sub-lords

2) Cuspal Interlinks Theory by Mr. K. Basakaran (KB) applying interlinks of sub- lords.

3) Four Step Theory by Mr. Sunil Gondhalekar applying the star-lord of the sub-lord as 4th step

11. These theories are to be applied by their own names, without mixing with KP because they use
the principles and methods of prediction different from KP, not traditional KP, only one KP, which is
invented by Guruji KSK only.

12. As Shri Raichur has mentioned, please do not mix up KP and 4 Step Method. Though 4 Step
Method is based on the KP principles, its methods of predictions and steps are not identical to KP
methods. It is better to keep them separate, just as we keep Vedic methods separate from KP,
though KP is based on Vedic Principles
