Basic Preliminaries to Chart Analysis
These instructions are basic guidelines that I have used for myself when delinea
ting a chart through the KP Stellar System. For a thorough comprehension of what
follows, you should have a basic understanding and grounding in Vedic and Weste
rn Astrology principles and aspects, and this basic foundational understanding s
hould precede any attempts at delineating a chart KP style. If you are new to Ve
dic Astrology, you should first begin to familiarize yourself with many of the b
asic principles needed to understand Vedic Astrology and then move into KP. Alth
ough many of the concepts of Vedic Astrology differ from KP Stellar Astrology, c
ertain principles remain standard throughout (such as exaltation/debilitation, f
riendship/animosity, etc.). So begin by reviewing the material available in the
KP Workshop and become familiar with the Star & Sub Lord Table as that is the ba
ck drop from which you will work.
For constructing a KP Chart, use the Table of Yearly KP Ayanamsha's for the Year
s 1900-2052, and if unsure of the correct settings in your software to enable yo
u to construct a KP Chart, check out Constructing a KP Chart using various Astro
logical Software. And lastly, before investing too much time on a chart, check t
o make sure that both the birth time and your calculations are correct.
After having the above in place, grab your chart. Keep in mind that the "time" t
hat certain events take place in an individual's life, is during the particular
activation period addressed by the Dasa, Antardasha (Bhukti), and Pratyantardash
a Lords that are running at any given time and that activate those particular ev
ents/matters through their Star Lords. These time periods are based on the Vimsh
ottari Dasa system using the KP Ayanamsha. So if you are new to KP analysis, a g
ood starting point may be to begin the learning process by referring to your own
Horoscope. Look back at any given time period in question to reflect on past ev
ents, and see if you can actually "see" their happenings during the time frame t
he event actually occurred, based on the running sequence of Dasas (Mahadasha, B
hukti, and Pratyantardasha, and their Star and Sub Lords, aspects, etc..) Don't
forget the aspects, as they are the modifiers! See KP Aspects: Principles of Jud
gment for more information.
KP Chart Analysis
The most promising and clearest material that I have found for covering all base
s when analyzing a KP chart are from the material in Bhatt's Nakshatra Chintaman
i, which is what the following methodology is primarily based on:
General Instructions
For judging any matter in the horoscope pertaining to any particular house,
bear in mind the general principle that a planet gives the results of its star l
ord. See KP: How Does the Dasa Lord Function?
Give importance to the cuspal Sub Lord of the house to be judged, for exampl
e, treat it as an ordinary planet. See KP: Significance of Cuspal Sublords.
Note its Star Lord and note the Sign and House occupied by the Star Lord.
Remember the general rule that each sign corresponds to a particular house,
for example, Aries for the 1st house, Libra for the 7th house, etc.. Also bear i
n mind that each house corresponds to a particular Sign, for example, the 1st ho
use represents Aries, the 8th house Scorpio, etc.
Remember the characteristics, for example, personal appearance, disposition,
disease, occupation, and matters governed or dominated by each Sign and Planet.
Combine (synthesize and integrate) the influence of the Star Lord, with that
of the Sign and House occupied by the Star Lord (suitable as the case may be),
and follow the suit with respect to the Cuspal Sub Lord also.
The strength of the Cuspal Sub Lord of the house should also be examined for
the affairs or the matters pertaining to that house. See KP: General Strength o
f a Planet.
Joint Period Rulers
1. The period or Sub period ruler, meaning Mahadasha and Antardasha (Bhukti) Lor
ds will give results according to its natural rulership over certain affairs of
life, for example, Venus is the chief governor of peace or harmony, marriage, ve
hicles, happiness, etc.
2. Whether these period lords give favorable or unfavorable results of their Sta
r Lord is determined by the Sub Lord, and then according to whether the Sub Lord
is favorable or unfavorable. See KP: Planet or House: Harmonious or Detrimental
.
3. The Mahadasha, Bhukti, and Pratyantardasha lords may each signify matters of
different houses, for example different subject matters, both desirable and unde
sirable. So during their joint periods, they will give the results of the common
subject matter, either desirable or undesirable, as the case may be.
For example, suppose the Dasa Lord is the significator of the 2nd, 5th, or 1
1th, and 1st, 4th, or 10th (indicating childbirth, and also its denial), then du
ring the Sub period (Bhukti) of the significator of the 1st, 4th, or 10th, there
will be no child birth, and if there is already a child, then separation from t
he child is likely; and during the Sub period (Bhukti) of the significator of th
e 2nd, 5th, or 11th, the birth of a child will take place.
4. If the Star Lord (of the Mahadasha Lord) occupies the 6th, 8th, or 12th as co
unted from its own sign (house), then the period or Sub period ruler (Mahadasha
or Bhukti Lords) will not give favorable results of this house (owned by its Sta
r Lord.)
5. If the planet and its Star Lord are in the 6th, 8th, and 12th signs from one
another, the native will not get the results to his/her desired extent during th
eir joint period.
6. If the Star Lord of the Mahadasha or Bhukti Lord is retrograde, the native wi
ll experience ups and downs in general.
7. The joint period rulers generally give the results of the house or houses own
ed by their Star Lords, so their strength will depend upon the strength of their
Star Lords. (See General Strength of a Planet).
8. If the joint period rulers (Mahadasha and Bhukti Lords) are in mutual recepti
on (exchanging signs), or in conjunction or in aspect with one another, they inf
luence the affairs of one another. This is based on the principle that a planet
in conjunction with - or aspected by the significator - gives the results of the
house or houses denoted by that significator.
9. If the joint rulers (Dasa Lords) of the cusps of any house are the significat
ors for the matters signified by that house, the combined period of these joint
rulers gives the results of the same matter during the period of any other signi
ficator of that house, and in the Sub period of the Cuspal Sub Lord of that hous
e, the results of the same matter are obtained.
Transit and Joint Period Rulers
1. An event usually happens during the joint period (Dasa/Bhukti) of the signifi
The Sign and House occupied by the Star Lord of the Sub Period Ruler (Bhukti Lor
d) show the sensitive part of the body and the nature of the disease.
In the example Chart for Bhatt's Horoscope #1 the period ruler is Moon and the S
ub Period (Bhukti) Ruler Rahu is in the Star of Mercury in Cancer, while the Pra
tyantardasha Lord, Saturn, is in the Sun's Star in Gemini.
Gemini governs lungs, it shows bronchitis, asthma, etc. Cancer denotes stomach a
nd it is a watery sign, so it indicates weak digestive power, cold, cough, and a
sthma.
