Planetary Effects
In KP, how are we to judge how the planets will react in any given situation?
A planet moving in a star is primarily under the influence of the lord of that star, and the
planet will predominately give the results of the house the star lord occupies, in addition to
the house(s) owned by the star lord. Then, the planet itself will offer the results of the
house it occupies and the house(s) it owns. Assess both the star lord and the planet to
determine the nature of the event.

Rasi Chart
For a client with an Aries lagna, Venus is lord of the 2nd and 7th houses. During a Venus
dasa, we can say that marriage will take place as both the 2nd and 7th houses are
significators for marriage, as is Venus. Dasa lord Venus is posited in Scorpio at 20 degrees
21 minutes, in the star of Jyeshta, which is ruled by Mercury, making Mercury the star lord
of Venus. (If unfamiliar with stars and subs, please see # 160 in the Star and Sub Lord
Table).
Now we must determine how Venus will function, and how it will react to the prospect of
marriage.

So what are the functions of Venus dasa Venus bhukti in this example chart?
Venus is posited in the Nakshatra of Jyeshta, which is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is posited
in the 5th house, and is the lord of the 3rd and the 6th houses. This means that Venus will
be under the influence and control of the planet Mercury, therefore Venus is compelled - by
Mercury - to give the results of the 5th house because Mercury is posited in the 5th house.
In addition to the 5th house, Mercury lords the 3rd and the 6th, therefore Venus - in her

dasa - will predominately offer the results of the 5th, 3rd, and 6th houses - the houses of
her star lord, Mercury.
Because Venus lords the 2nd and the 7th, Venus will be very attentive to - and concerned
with - the matters revolving around the event of marriage, and therefore will indulge
herself to initiate the marital ceremony by engaging in a love affair. Why? Because she is
under the influence of Mercury - lord of the 3rd and 6th - but Mercury is occupying the 5th
house of love affairs. So Mercury influences Venus - who is lord of the 2nd and 7th houses
of marriage - to submit to the matters of the 5th house first (where Mercury is posited - 5th
suggests love affairs ) and therefore entices Venus into a love affair that ultimately results in
a marriage. However, after some time, Mercury - being lord of the 6th house (and now
giving the secondary results of lordship - remember Mercury owns the 6th - which is 12th to
the 7th house of marriage), so Mercury now initiates phase 2 of his plan for Venus - which is
to separate the couple through 6th house matters (debts, conflict, etc.). So now Mercury's
function, once again, is to lead the stage for divorce proceedings to follow.
So here you can see how several matters with respect to marriage are built in to both
involve the dasa lord and the star lord, but according to the event matter, the house
results are the only ones that manifest. So in summation, dasa and bhukti lord Venus is
lord of the 2nd and 7th houses, and posited in the 8th. Mercury, the star lord of Venus, is
posited in the 5th house and owns the 3rd and 6th houses. With all that in mind, we can
now see how Venus is connected to offer the results of the 8th, 2nd, 7th, 5th, 6th, and 3rd
houses. Venus will predominately offer the results of its star lord Mercury, and Mercury's
position in the 5th house to initiate an affair, followed by Mercury's lordship of the 6th and
3rd houses, and then move on to the results of the 2nd and 7th houses of Venus, and also
the 8th where Venus resides. So for deciding the matter of marriage, the 2nd and the 7th
are the permanent residence for Venus - as Venus has lordship over these two houses while the 8th house is where Venus takes up temporary residence. Then, the 5th, 6th, and
the 3rd houses of Mercury are the ones controlling and compelling Venus to respond to the
matters of the 5th, 6th, and 3rd.
Therefore, when the Venus dasa and bhukti is operating in this chart, Venus will first let
you know (by lordship) that the matters will revolve around Marriage because the
dasha/bhukti lord owns the 2nd and the 7th houses, and then that the results will
manifest according to the position and then lordship of the star lord of Venus - which is
Mercury. So much falls in the hands of the planet that is star lord of the dasa/bhukti that is
running. See KP: Timing: Transits and Dasas (/kp-timing-transits--dasas.html)
