THIS sets down the essential rules given by Mr sunil gondhalekar in his Lessons, written in the K.P.Style.

The Basic principle of KP is that A Planet gives the results indicated by its Star Lord and Sub Lord. THE FOUR STEPS TO DETERMINE HOUSES SIGNIFIED BY ANY PLANET ARE: 1. 2. 3. 4. The The The The Planet itself (House residence,Houses Owned) Star Lord of the Planet: (Same house resident,houses owned) SUB LORD of the Planet : Star Lord of this sub lord:

For prediction, we have to consider that all houses, are signified by the Planet, some Primarily, and some Secondarily THE 1ST STEP in the 4 step Theory is: A Planet becomes the Significator Of the HOUSE where it resides, and of the House/Houses It OWNS This rule is modified depending on wether there are other planets in the STARS of this Planet, and wether the Houses owned are Empty or have some other planets in them. (Hers,Neptune,Pluto,For are not considered for this conditions. IF THERE ARE NO PLANETS IN THE STARS OF THE PLANET,(the planet is not the Star Lord of any other planet) THEN it becomes THE PRINCIPAL Significator of the House where it Resides. Otherwise, it becomes a secondary Signific ator of the House where it resides. If a PLANET Is Primary significator of Residence, then it becomes the Pri ncipal of the houses owned ONLY IF THAT HOUSE IS EMPTY, otherwise it is the secondary significator of the house owned If the Planet is itself a SECONDARY significator of House of RESIDENCE then it will be also Secondary Significator of Houses owned EVEN IT EMPTY. IF A PLANET IS IN ITS OWN STAR, then it Automatically becomes the Primary significatro of the House of residence (even if there other planets in its stars). It becomes pricipal significator of houses it owns, if empty SECOND STEP: The Star LORD OF THE PLANET UNDER CONSIDERATION In this step, the STAR LORD automatically Becomes the Principal Significator of the House of Residence, and Of the Houses owned, if Empty. FOR RAHU AND KETU same rules apply. Rahu/Ketu get addittionl representation as Representative of the Lord of house where they Reside THIRD STEP: The sub Lord of the Planet: The houses signified are determined as per 1st step only Fourth step: The Star Lord of Sub Lord The houses are found applyin the same rules as Second Step Another point is to consider Signifcators by conjunction(3.33 deg) between planets, as also signifed by the planet considered. The conjoined planet acts as an agent of the planet to which it is conjoined. Practical Apllication of the theory: Examples: Child birth: When? Rule: The 5th (as qurrent is lady) Sub Lord must be the Primary significator of 2nd/5th/or 11th. Only if this is positive then we fix the time.

5th sub Lord is Mercury: The houses signified by this Planet are found tob be Mer: 8P,9,6P (Mer in 8th:Noplanets in Mer Stars: 9,not empty.6th empty) Star Lo: Ven: 8P,10,5 (Star Lord hence P: Houses owned not empty no Not P) SUB : Mars :10P,11,4 StL of SUB :Sat: 9P,2eP,1eP The 5th Sub Lord has become the Principal Significator of 2nd in the fourth step: THERFORE we conclude that lady will have children: To fix time, we must now test the Dasa,Bhukti,& Antara Lords. Moon Dasa balance 6 months,28 days. We cannot consider this as birth of a child is not possible in 6/7 months. So consider next MARS dasa Check the houses signified by Dasa Lord Mars:(all 4 steps to be seen) 1st step Mars: 10P,11,4 2nd Sat : 9P,1P,2P 3rd Ven : 8P,10,5 4th Ven : 8P,10,5 Since Mars is Primary Sig of 2nd House, this can be selected. IMPORTANT: IN SELECTING THE DASA/BHUKTI/ANTARA , we MUST see that all the Houses 2,5,11 are signified : Since we have selected Mars Dasa, which signifies 2 primarily, the Bhukti Lord must primarily signify 5 or 11 :Antara should signify the remaining Now in Mars Dasa, we have to ignore Mars Bhukti, as only 2nd house is signified: Next RAHU :He is PS of 7 and 8: Though he is SS of 5th we pass on NEXT JUPITER: He is PS of 11,12,10,4,8 Since the 11th is found in the pricipal significators, We SELECT THAT AS BHUKTI: Next is Antara: The Antara Lord has to be the PS of house: When looking thru other Planets, we get MOON 5th in the 1st itself. So we select this. The period thus is 3/5/1987 to 31/5/1987. The birth The Ayanamsa used was later corrected. This adds 13 etc. So the timimg is fairly correct. ======== below is an elaborate example for Marriage. the remaining 5th as Primarily signifinf took place in June 87. days to the Dasa endins

Apply KP rule: 7th cusp Sub Lord must signify 2,7, or 11. In the present case 7th cusp Sub lord is Venus. Now see his significance He signigies 7th Principally at Step 4. The secondary signification is not considered. SO THE NATIVE WILL MARRY . NEXT QUESTION WHEN ? When the question was asked Ven Dasa running for one month only. Next Dasa of SUN is selected: Sun in 1st step is Principal significator of 11th and 7th. So Sun Dasa and Sun Bhukti is selected. NOW WE HAVE TO GET THE 3RD SIGNIFICANCE FOR HOUSE 2. An examination of the Planets and Houses signified shows that only SAT principally signifies the 2nd. So the marriage is predicted to take place in SUN DASA: SUN BHUKTI: SAT ANTARA; This period is 5/12/2000 to 22/12/2000. But during this period Saturn is RETROGRADE. So this was not selected. Take MOON Bhukti: Moon is Principal sig of 7th, Sun of 11th Take Sat antara for 2nd, thus complete the chain. This period comes 19/4/2001 to 18/5/2001. This period was predicted for Marriage. THE MARRIAGE WAS CELEBRATED ON 18/4/2001. This is from Nakshtra Dena of Divali 2001. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
