KP for Beginners- Part 11 Reading a KP Horary Chart by
[email protected] (Courtesy of KP E-zine April 2009 issue) Step 1. Casting a KP Horary Chart 1.1. Question 1. Get a clear question in good faith to get a correct answer. Alan Leo says in Horary Astrology that no question should be asked, no horary figure cast, unless the mind is truly serious and quite anxious concerning the matter, otherwise erroneous judgment will certainly result. 1.2. Horary Number 2. Concentrate on the question and choose a Hoary number between 1 to 249 (1 to 2193 sub-subs developed by Dr. Kar). Get the required Horary number by opening a book of 300-400 pages and noting page number on the right hand side of the book. (KP Reader VI p 104) The astrologer can also use a random number generated by the computer SW. The querent gives a number that fits well with his karmic patterns by divine guidance for his or her strong urge to know the correct answer to a question. (KP Reader VI p 253) 3. Using a Time chart does not fully utilize the KP Horary Astrology, which depends on the number given by the querent and every number refers to a particular sign, star and sub as the Ascendant. (KP Reader VI p 89, P.M. Shanmugham: Astrosecrets & KP Part I p 260) Without choosing a Horary number, the querent’s urge is not reflected in the Time chart. 4. The given Horary number (seed) is to be used within two days. If the astrologer is not able to work on the chart within two days after getting the number, it is necessary to ask another number from the querent for the question. (Umang Taneja: Prashna p14) 1.3. Date and Time of Judgment 5. Take the date and time of judgment when the astrologer commences analyzing the chart whatever may be the date and time of query by the consultant. This moment when the astrologer sits for judgment is similar to the moment when the whole body of child has got separated from the womb of the mother. (KP Reader VI pp 88, 243) This moment, not the time of first cry (Astrosecrets Part I p 281), seems to be the time of birth as per KP. 6. The time of judgment should be taken when astrologer actually starts working on the chart. If astrologer is not able to judge the chart immediately after casting, it is necessary to recalculate the chart at another time of judgment when he is in position to make prediction. If the place of judgment is the same, then all the 12 cusps will remain the
same and they will change for a different place of judgment. So feed the Horary data in the computer only when astrologer is ready to analyze the chart immediately after casting. (KP Reader VI pp 312; K.P. Kuppu Ganapathi: Guidelines for Preparing and Judging a Horary Chart, KPE-zine, February 2007 para 3; Umang Taneja: Prashna p14) 1.4. Place of Judgment 7. Take the place of judgment where the astrologer is located irrespective of the place from which the querent has asked the question by phone, E-mail, letter etc. (KP Reader VI pp 89, 230, 242) 1.5. Casting a KP Horary Chart 8. Cast a KP Horary chart by using the following KP settings [KP Reader V p 18 (Old Edition p 178), Reader VI pp 330, 242-3): 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
KP Ayanamsa (preferably KP New Ayanamsa of 2003), Placidus house system, Mean Node, 365 d/y Vimshottari dasa and Geographic latitude of place of judgment.
1.6. Rotation of the Chart 9. If the question is for the querent himself or herself, make all calculation and analysis from the Ascendant of the Horary chart. If the question is for the younger brother or sister, rotate the chart and take the 3rd house as the Ascendant for that younger brother or sister; for mother take 4th; for first child take 5th; for maternal uncle take 6th; for spouse (wife/husband) or partner or opponent or second child take 7th; for father take 9th; for elder brother or sister or friend take 11th; for paternal uncle take 12th; for any unknown person take 9th house as Ascendant and work out. (KP Reader VI p 213, 216) For the well known public figures or celebrities, even not known personally, the Ascendant, not 9th house, is used by Kanak Bosmia with success, for example prediction of Abhishek & Aswarya marriage. Step 2. Verification of Query 10. Check Moon, the indicator of querent’s mind, whether it properly reflects the question by the signification of houses owned and occupied by Moon, its star lord and sub lord, for example 2,7,11 houses for marriage, 3,9,12 for foreign going. Connection by sub lord is found very important. (Hints for Judging a Horary Chart in Astrosecrets and K.P. Part II p 215 para 5) 11. In KP, the owner or lord of a house is the owner of the (rasi) sign where the cusp falls. (KP Reader VI p 274) Consequently, occupation and lordship of Badhaka, Maraka are
Placidus bhava based, not rasi based and they are different from rasi based positions, when some signs are intercepted or blank without any cusp falling in those signs. 12. In addition to Moon, check the signification of the cuspal sub lord of Ascendant which also reflects the mind of querent. 13. If it is found that the question is properly reflected by the signification of anyone of required houses by the cuspal sub lords of Moon and Ascendant, then only proceed the analysis of the chart, otherwise not to proceed further. The query has to be genuine. If the person is not serious about his or her query, then accurate prediction cannot be given. Step 3. Judging Whether Matter is Promised 3.1. Checking the Cuspal Sub Lord of the Concerned House 14. Check the cuspal sub lord of the concerned house, for example 7th for marriage, 12th for foreign going as per KP house grouping. The cuspal sub lord of a house under query indicates whether the matter signified by that house is promised or not. The matter in question is promised, if the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled i.e., (KP Reader VI pp 171, 178, 192, 210, 254, 301) 1) the concerned cuspal sub lord or its star lord or its sub lord is not retrograde; 2) the cuspal sub lord is the significator (i.e. especially in the star of the occupant or owner) of anyone of required houses under consideration for the matter in question. 15. Here retrogression of the star lord is generally mentioned as it is the indicator of nature of the event. However, retrogression of the sub lord is also to be considered since the sub is final and deciding factor in KP. [Dr. Kar: KP & Astrology (KPA) 1996 p 51, K.M. Subramaniam: KPA 1997 p 51, C. R. Bhatt: Nakshatra Chintamani p 104] After thorough research it had been found that a ruling planet failed to offer results when it is in a sub of retrograde planet and so it is to reject the ruling planet in the sub of a retrograde planet. (Ruling Planets & KP edited by K. Subramaniam, K. Hariharan pp xvii, pp 38-39) 16. If both the star lord and sub lord of the concerned (7th) cuspal sub lord are connected to the negative houses (6,10,12) only, then the matter (marriage) cannot be promised. (P.M. Shanmugham: Astrosecrets & KP Part I p 263) 3.2. Controversy of Retrogression 3.2.1. What is Retrogression? 17. Retrogression means moving backward. The Sun and Moon never retrograde. Rahu and Ketu always move backward and so they are not considered as retrograde planets. Only the remaining 5 planets, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, move direct but
sometimes they are found moving backward and considered as retrograde planets. (KP Reader VI pp 146, 221) 18. Planets never really move backward and their movement is always in one direction. Planets, when retrograde, appear to be moving backward to us here on Earth from Geocentric position, i.e. taking Earth as center. This reverse motion is only a visual illusion as the slower planet coming backward due to the own motion of the Earth’s orbit. Like a train passing a moving car, passengers in the train experience the illusion that the slower car is moving backward due to the speed at which the train is moving. 3.2.2. Views on Retrogression 19. However, this virtual (not actual) retrogression has been stated in the classic texts, Bhavatha Ratnakara, Brihat Parashara Hora Shatra, Horasara, Jataka Parijata, Jataka Tattwa, Phaladeepika, Sanketanidhi, Saravali, Uttarakalamarita and the articles on the role of “Retrograde Planets in Astrology” in the Astrological Magazine (AM) of Bangalore, March 1967 to November 1974, by Vedic astrologers, Bepin Behari, V.A.K. Iyer, Ajanta Jain, R. Lakshmanan, R. Santhanam, P.S. Sastri, V.K. Sinha, B. Suryanarayan Rao etc. And among divergent views retrogression has been mainly considered as an indication of strength (chestabal) because a planet, when retrograde, is nearer to Earth and can have its greater impact. 20. Grace Inglis has concluded in his Retrograde Planets in line with Buell D. Huggins and Garth Allen that a retrograde planet is not much different in natal chart. After illustrating 32 examples, Buell D. Huggins is of the opinion that retrograde planets may apply only to Horary Astrology. (AM September- special issue on retrogression- and November 1974) 21. In horary studies, planets stay in dynamic motion as follows: 1) If the question is ruled by a retrograde planet at the time of query, the condition will change when the planet goes direct. If the ruling planet is direct and will soon turn retrograde, the event asked about may not happen. Retrograde planets in horary brings things and people back. (Helen Adams Garrett: More About Retrogrades, 1991) 2) For example, if a planet retrogrades in the 7th house the querent gone out of station will return for the query about the return. (S. Kannan, AM January 1972) 3) Retrograde planets never give all that is expected. (Charles Carter: Horary Astrology, 1942) 4) Retrograde is found fatal to the success of question. (Alan Leo: Horary Astrology, 2006 Edition p 132) 5) An angular planet going retrograde or into combustion may wreck its ability to act in a positive fashion. (J. Lee Lehman: The Martial Art of Horary Astrology p 264) 3.2.3. Retrogression in KP
22. In KP, retrogression does not matter in the natal chart analysis but it does not give results in the Horary analysis, if the significator is in the star or sub lord of retrograde planets. In a Horary chart bhava sputa are for ever a constant set up and planets are always on the dynamic move. 23. The retrograde cuspal sub lord of the concerned cusp, if deposited in the star of a planet in direct motion, the event will materialize after some obstacles and delay when it is in direct motion and passed beyond the point wherefrom retrograde motion started. (KP Reader VI pp 145-146, 170, 178) 24. If the cuspal sub lord (whether in direct or retrograde motion) is deposited in the star of retrograde planet, the event cannot materialize. [KP Reader VI pp 146, 171, 178, 222, 262-4, 287, 301, Kuppu Ganapathi para 31, Astrosecrets Part II pp 214-22 para 33, K. Hariharan: Steller Effects on Human Life pp 262-64, T. Rajendra Kumar in KPA 2005 p 51, RP & KP pp 87-9; Dr. Arstu Prabhakar: New Dimensions of K.P. Astrolog (Horary); Styanarayana Naik: K.P. Dynamics (Horary)] 25. If the cuspal sub lord (whether in direct or retrograde motion) is deposited in the sub of retrograde planet, the result will tend to be favorable after some delay and impediments when they get direct in motion. (KP Reader VI p 202, C.R. Bhatt: Nakshatra Chintamani p 104, RP & KP pp 87-89, Vijay Kumar: KPA 2004 p 25, T. Rajendra Kumar: KP Horary in KPA 2008 p 123 & 2009 p 44) 26. If the cuspal sub lord (whether in direct or retrograde motion) deposited in the star or sub of retrograde planets, 1) it cannot give the result when that cuspal sub lord is not a strong significator of the concerned house; 2) but the event can materialize when that cuspal sub lord is a strong significator of the concerned house. [C.R. Bhatt: Prashna Jyotish Part 1 & 2 (Gujarati book) pp 56, 185, 279, 319-320 (Courtesy of Kanak Bosmia); Pankaj Himvan: KPA 2009 p 12] 27. With the slogan of "If retrograde in natal is nothing, why not in Horary also?", Dr. Kar had introduced the theory of cancellation of retrogradation by burning the adverse effects of retrograde planets through the rays of Sun. (Dr. Keshab R. Kar: Some Thoughts on Retrogradation in KPA 1996 pp 50-63) It was supported by K.M. Subramaniam. (KPA 1997 p 51) However, it is also found that the sub lord of the principal cusp, if retrograde or if deposited in the star or sub of a retrograde planet, can negate the result even though the retrograde planet is connected to Sun by the way of star lordship, or being within 30 degrees to the Sun. (T. Rajendra Kumar: Inference from a Honest Retrospection, KPA 2005 pp 50-52) 28. There are Vryadhipathi theory of retrograde planets giving the result of other houses (P. M. Shanmugam: Astrosecrets & KP Part I pp 91-92; Rao Brothers in O.V.N. Murthy’s Role of Badhaka in Astrovision, January and February 2009), and Nadi theory of
retrograde planets giving the result of previous house of their placement. (S. Naik: K.P. Dynamics p 36; PVR Rayudu: Marriage Age - A Nadi Method) 29. Some scholars ignore the result of the retrograde planets by putting several examples in support to their opinions [K.M. Subramaniam (KPA 1997 p 51, Sublord Speaks- 1 p 845), Kanak Bosmia (KP Muhurat p 3), Sunil Gondhalekar (Four StepTheory p 54), Umang Taneja (Prashna), S P Khullar (Horary Astrology p ix)] But D.C. Ghose had found in hundred of Horary cases that the retrograde planet has failed to offer the due result. (Result of Planets in Retrogression, KPA 1995 p 6) 30. Guruji KSK has brought us to that level of thought and used to say “My friends, we have come up to this- you should continue the research and you may reach to further truth”. (KPA 1995 p 7 and 1996 p 63) So further research of a minimum of one hundred carefully documented Horary charts is required to form a credible opinion on retrogression whether it does matter or not in the Horary analysis. 3.3. Checking the Cuspal Sub Lords of the Ascendant and 11th Cusp 31. In a Horary chart, the Ascendant indicates the efforts of querent; while the 11th cusp shows the fulfillment of desire or success in general. If the cuspal sub lord of Ascendant or 11th cusp be the significator of the matter asked or the beneficial house 1 (success in one’s effort), 2 (monetary gain), 3 (help from other), 6 (gain to querent), 10 (reputation) and 11 (profit, fulfillment of desires), the querent can get success in general. (C. R. Bhatt: Nakshatra Chintamani p 105) 32. So check whether the cuspal sub lords of Ascendant and 11th cusp are the significator of the matter asked or the beneficial houses to the querent and if so, it is a supportive indicator for the materialization of the event under query. If the 1st cuspal sub lord signifies 11th house, then fulfillment of desire is promised. (T. Rajendra Kumar: KPA 2005 p 52) Step 4. Selecting the Fruitful Significators 4.1. KP Signifiators 33. The concerned cuspal sub lord indicates whether the matter under query is promised or not. If it is promised, the significators point the time of event. (KP Reader V p 224/ Old Edition p 211) So note the significators of the houses which signify the matter asked. 34. The significators of a house in order of the strength of grade A,B,C,D & E are given as under: A. Planet in the star of the occupant of a required house (for instance 2,7, 11 for marriage) (strongest significator) B. Occupant of the house C. Planet posited in the star of lord of the house
D. Lord of the house E. Planet(s) conjoined with or aspected by the above significators (weakest significator used as a last resort) Note: It is “aspected by” A,B,C,D significators but not “aspecting” A,B,C,D as said by some. [K.P. Readers III p 342 (Old Edition 2nd Part p 174), IV p 118, V pp 154, 214 (Old Edition p 149, 201), VI pp 157,197] 35. A practice of considering the star lord and sub lord of the star lord of a planet is not in line with the KP basic principle:“Planet is the source, constellation indicates nature of the result and the SUB is a deciding factor whether the matter is favorable or not.” [Original KP Vol 2, Sagar Publications, 1965 p 41, KP Reader III 136 (Old Edition 129), V 136 (Old Edition p 129)] 4.2. Selection of Fruitful Significators 36. Out of these significators, select fruitful significators as follows: 1) Significators which are common with the Ruling Planets at the time of judgment. The Ruling Planets at the time of judgment and those at the time of fructification of the event are the same. ((KP Reader IV p 201, 208, 274; Kuppu Ganpathi para 17, KP & RP p ix) A significator that strongly signifies the required important houses for the matter can be considered even though it does not appear among the ruling planets. (K.C. Mahapatra: A Systematic Step-wise Procedure for K.P…, KPA 2001 pp 104-113); 2) Significators which are in the stars of the occupant or lord of anyone of required houses under consideration (for instance 2,7,11 for marriage); 3) Significators which are the cuspal sub lords of the required houses; 4) The cuspal sub lords of the required houses become the strongest significators of those houses, if there is no planet in their stars. A planet without any planet in its star is the strongest to give the results of the houses by occupation and being the sub lord to them. (KP Reader III p 309, KPA 1991 July p 1 & November p 8, Vikari Ramamurthi, R. Mukunda Rajan, Kuppu Ganapathi, Kanak Bosmia); 5) Significators which appear many times amongst the ruling planets/ significators or connected with various significtors; 6) Significators which are the sign lord, star lord and sub lord of the cusp of the concerned house under query; 7) Significators which are the joint period DBAS rulers at the time of judgment. 37. On the other hand, the significators which signify 12th to the required houses of the event by their sub lords are not effective significators, for example house 7 for marriage signified by the planet or its star lord is not an effective significator, if its sub lord signifies house 6 (12th to 7). The same approach may not be always correct for the significators which signify 6th, 8th to the required houses of the event by their sub lords even though generally planets placed in 6, 8 or 12 to any house do not contribute to the matters influenced by that house. (KP Reader VI p 297) A strong and single negative significator of the event should be rejected. (KP Reader IV p 145)
38. Reject the significator which is in the star of retrograde planet because it cannot give the results of its star lord during its period or sub period etc. (G.C. Vijayakumar: KPA 2007 pp 47-8) 39. If a planet is posited very close to the next cusp within 3.333 degrees, the signification of the next house only is to be considered. If the orb is tighter and there is no planet tenanted in the next house, the effect of the next house will be stronger. [Original KP Vol 2, Sagar Publications, 1965 p 281; KP Reader IV, page 108, K.M. Subramaniam, T. Rajendra Kumar (KPA 2000 & 2003), C.V. Tyagaraja Iyer (KPA 2005), K. Subramanium (Astrology for Beginner, Vol. 3), Carl Woebcke (You and the Universe), Michael McClain] The view of giving the results of both the previous and next houses is given by C.R. Bhatt (Nakshatra Chintamani), Anant Raichur, Sunil Gondhalekar and Robert Hand (Horoscope Symbols).( A Note on the Influence of a Planet near the House Cusp, Astrovision, June 2008) 40. In KP if the sub lords of more than one cusp are the same, then they are deemed to be connected. For example if 1st and 11th cuspal sub lords happen to be the same planet, it gives strong indication of being mutually related and promise of fulfillment of desire. (T. Raajendra Kumar: KPA 2002 p 25) 41. The nature of planets is to be considered as karaka (chief significator), slow or fast moving planet and others. For example, Sun stands for father, Government, profession, Moon for mind, mother, journey, liquids, Mars for courage, brothers and sisters, operation, accident, house/building, quick grasping, engineering, Mercury for education, communication, power of speech, commerce, two minds, Jupiter for wealth, progeny, children, education, law and judgment, Venus for marriage, spouse, vehicle, luxury items, Saturn for longevity, services, servants, delay, land, mental, Rahu for imprisonment and Ketu for Moksha, danger. (KP Reader III pp 235-6, 259; Reader VI pp 188-9, 223, 230, 277, 303) 42. A karaka planet singnifiying the relevant bhava is stronger than other planets to offer the result. However, a karaka planet itself, without signification of the required houses by occupation and lordship, cannot not be considered as an outright significator for the matter it governs even though it result is said to be the chief governor of the matter. In KP karaka planets can play a supporting role only, but not a major role like in Verdic, for instance without 12th cuspal sub lord being Rahu, chief karaka for imprisonment, one can be jailed, if the required house grouping of 2,3,8,12 is signified; Venus alone without 2,7,11 signification cannot give marrige; Jupiter alone without 2,5,11 signification cannot give child birth. (KP Reader III pp 235-6, 259, Reader VI pp 181, 313-4). 4.3. Rahu/Ketu Significators 43. Rahu or Ketu (whether it is a planet or star lord or sub lord) the following significators are taken in the KP Readers depending on relevance to the event under
consideration regardless of their sequence of order (Rahu/Ketu Rules in KP in KPE-Zine, May 2007): 1) House occupied by Rahu/Ketu, 2) Planet in conjunction with Rahu/Ketu, 3) Planet in aspect to Rahu/Ketu, 4) Star lord of Rahu/Ketu and 5) Sign lord of (rasi) sign occupied by Rahu/Ketu. 44. The signification of 2 to 5 is generally by occupation and lordship of the relevant planet and its star lord. Conjunction in the same (rasi) sign and Hindu aspects without orb are used. Rahu or Ketu does not aspect any planet or house since it is not a planet having physical body but it is only a sensitive intersecting point in the pathway of Sun and Moon. (Kuppu Ganapathi) So in case of conjunction or aspect with other planets, Rahu/Ketu will give whatever the conjoined or aspecting planet is to give but not that planet to give whatever Rahu/Ketu is to give. 45. A practice is found that if any planet is deposited in the star of Rahu/Ketu, then Rahu/Ketu will offer the results of that planet. (Astrosecrets Part I p 308; KPA 2002 p 40) However, as per KP that planet will give whatever Rahu/Ketu is to give but not Rahu/Ketu to give whatever that planet is to give. That is why Rahu/Ketu can give the result of a house by occupation, only when there is no planet in its stars. [KP Reader V pp 212, 274-5 (Old Edition pp 200, 236), Reader VI p 190, 282; C.R. Bhatt: Nakshatara Chintamani p 19] . 4.3. Ruling Planets 46. Ruling planets are the planets which rule the moment at the time of judgment of any question. The original 5 ruling planets are listed below in their order of preference (Original KP Vol 2, Sagar Publications, 1965 pp 273-4, 412; KP Reader VI p 123, RP & KP pp ix, xvii, 32; Dr. Satya Prakash Chowdhary: Ruling Planets in KP): 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
Ascendant star lord Ascendant sign lord Moon star lord Moon sign lord Day Lord (Hindu Day from sunrise to next sunrise)
47. If Rahu or Ketu is conjoined or aspected by a ruling planet, or if Rahu or Ketu is posited in a sign owned by one of the ruling planets, then Rahu or Ketu should be included as a ruling planet. If Rahu or Ketu appears to be a ruling planet, it’s sign lord is replaced by it. In case the sign lord is also a strong significator, it can be taken along with Rahu or Ketu. 48. Some KP astrologers also consider the sub lords of Ascendant and Moon as ruling planets and they use 7 ruling planets. (RP & KP pp 65, 79, 108)
49. Planets in conjunction or aspect to the ruling planets can also be considered as ruling planest, especially if the planet is strong and located in the ruling Ascendant itself. 50. The ruling planets in retrograde do not prevent the event to take place but will only give the result when they become direct in motion. Reject the ruling planets which are posited in the star or sub of retrograde planets. (KP Reader VI pp 167, 171, 176, 187, 202, 224, 274) 51. It is a common practice to work out the ruling planets at the time of casting the chart or time of judgment of query even though the question is solved with the help of a Horary number. It is the best method of choosing the fruitful significators which are common with the significators. (KP Reader VI pp 274, 138, 141, 200) 52. Another opinion is that the ruling planets of Horary Ascendant as per chosen number help to reach right conclusion. [Dr. Prabhakar: New Dimensions of KP Astrology (Horary) p 64] Reason is that the Ascendant cusp derives the fate of querent and fate cannot be changed. (Dr. Kar in KPA 2001 p 22) Step 5. Checking Dasa, Bhukti, Antara, Sookshma (DBAS) 53. Check whether the current DBA lords are: 1) common with the Ruling Planets at the time of judgment; and 2) significators of the matter under query; 3) if so, it indicates the materialization of event. 54. Check up whether Punarphoo, implying delay, the materialization of the event on subsequent attempts, or Saturn causing delay (KP Reader VI pp 179-180), exists, which needs consideration in fixing the timing of event. 55. The event will materialize during the conjoined period (DBAS) of the selected significators when the transit agrees, i.e., Sun, Mon and/or the joint period rulers (DBAS lords) are transiting in the star or sub of the same joint period rulers. If the Dasa allow an event, the event can happen in that Dasa. If the Dasa does not allow the event, check the next Dasa which allows the event to take place. Once Dasa allows the event, check the current Bhukti and if this Bhukti allows check the nearest Antara, Sookshma and then the Transit, which will indicate the nearest timing of event. In case if current Bhukti does not allow the event, check next Bhukti which allows the event to take place and then check also Antara, Sookshma the same, and then the Transit. 56. If a planet (in direct or retrograde motion) is a significator of anyone of required houses, for instance 2,7,11 for marriage, and it is deposited in the star of a retrograde planet, that planet cannot give the result in its period or sub-period. But another significator of required houses, whether it is in direct or retrograde motion, will give the
result, if this significator is in the star of a planet in direct motion. (KP Reader VI pp 146147, 282) In another theory retrogression is used in checking the transits of DBA lords, which should not be in the concerned star and sub of retrograde planets for the materialization of an event. (Sunil Gondhalekar: Four StepTheory pp 48-54) Step 6. Transit Check 57. Basically in KP transit the source of matter is indicated by the transiting planet and what will happen is shown by its star lord; whether it will materialize or not; whether it is favorable or not is indicated by its sub lord according to the occupied and owned houses. [KP Reader V p 161 (Old Edition p 153)] A planet transiting in a star signifies the matters shown by the star lord due to its occupation and lordship and the different subs passed by that planet indicate the various stages and success or failure of the results shown by the star lord. [KP Reader V pp 186-7 (Old Edition pp 177-8)] 58. In KP generally fruitful periods are selected by the Vimshottari dasa system and transits are used to check whether they agree with dasa and to pinpoint the timing of events as tools of precision to complement the dasa system. 59. At the time of event, Sun, Mon and/or the joint period (DBAS) rulers are generally found to be transiting in: 1) the star or sub of the same joint period rulers; 2) the star or sub of the fruitful significators of the particular event (other than the joint period rulers) in the chart. [KP Reader III p 198 (Old Edition 2nd Part p 42), Nakshatra Chintamani p 37, T. Rajendra Kumar: KPA 2003 pp 45-46] 60. The first condition (42.1) is consideration of only the chosen DBAS lords whether they are transiting in the star or sub of the same DBAS lords, implying to consider the signification of transiting DBAS lords which is promised in the natal or horary chart. Regarding relocation chart, it is said in KP Reader V p 162 (Old Edition p 155) that one should not always calculate the Ascendant for the place of birth unless the native is permanent in his birth place. And then the transiting Sun and Moon are helpful to choose the appropriate Sookshma or accurate timing of event. 61. The DBAS brings a matter to happen very close to the timing of event and any matter to be completed will have to be operated by transits of trios: Sun, Moon, Ascendant. That is in case of fixing Sun transit, then Moon transit should fully cooperate with that of Sun transit and finally the Ascendant transit should be on the sensitive zone of the zodiac. (Astrosecrets Part I pp 275-6) 62. An accurate timing of an event can be fixed by transit as follows (KP Reader V p 163, Reader VI p 131, RP & KP p 69-72): 1) If an event is likely to take place within a few hours, move the Ascendant counting from the Ascending degree of the moment of judgment to the sensitive and fruitful zone of zodiac, i.e., sign lord, star lord and sub lord governed by each
of the selected fruitful significators, for instance for running conjoined period of Ven-Moo-Mer DBA, refer Venus sign, Moon star, Mercury sub or Moon sign, Mercury star, Venus sub or Mercury sign, Moon star, Venus sub; or 2) If the event is expected to happen within some days, move the Moon to such a sensitive zone; or 3) If it is to take place in some months, move the Sun; or 4) If it is to happen in some years, Jupiter should be moved to find out the time of event. 63. In finding the time of event by the Ruling Planets method the sensitive zone is where one ruling planet becomes the sign lord, second ruling planet becomes the star lord and third ruling planet become the sub lord and the above same principles are to be applied in moving Ascendant, Moon, Sun and Jupiter.
