KP Astrology

KP stand for Krishnamurthy Paddhati. KP Astrology is the unique method of analysing the
horoscope on the basis of cuspal Sub Lord. Sub lord is the 9 th unequal division of a Nakshatra. In KP
astrology is based on the fundamental principles of Vedic Astrology. But at the same time KP
astrology is a far more advanced and accurate system of astrology.

Creating Horoscope (Casting the Chart)

As discussed, to cast a KP chart, you need positions of 9 planets and 12 houses. There are two
ways you can get these information -
1. You can use some software, which requires just date, time and place, or
2. You can calculate these positions manually with the help of certain tables

Calculating KP horoscope manually is a tedious process. So, using a software is an intelligent and
time saving effort.

Planets

As mentioned above, totally 9 planets are used in KP namely Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter,
Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu. Please note that Rahu and Ketu are not planets in terms of modern
astronomy, as they don't have any physical existence. They are mere mathematical points. Due to
this reason, they are also sometimes called as shadow planets.

Each planet owns certain signs and stars (nakshatras) as follows -

Planet Name Sign(s) Owned by the Planet Stars (Nakshatras) Owned by the Planet
Sun Leo Kritika, Uttaraphalguni, Uttarashadha
Moon Cancer Rohini, Hasta, Sravana
Mars Aries, Scorpio Mrigasira, Chitra, Dhanshita
Mercury Gemini, Virgo Aslesha, Jyehsta, Revati
Jupiter Sagittarius, Pisces Punarvasu, Visakha, Poorvabhadrapada
Venus Taurus, Libra Bharani, Poorvaphalguni, Poorvashadha
Saturn Capricorn, Aquarius Pushya, Anuradha, Uttarabhadrapada
Rahu Aridra, Swati, Satabisha
Ketu Aswini, Magha, Moola

From the above table you can see that Rahu and Ketu have not been allotted any sign ownership.
You may also note that each of the nine planets have been given ownership of 3 stars.

Houses

There are 12 houses in astrology. Houses are also referred as Bhava or Ghar in Hindu astrology.
Every house in astrology has been assigned certain significations by the sages. For example, 1st
2

house is for self, health, 2nd house for family, finance, 3rd house for brother, courage, 4th house
is for mother, conveyance and so on.

In the astrology, if a house is good, you will get good results related to the house. For example, if
the 1st house is good in your horoscope, your health will be good. On the contrary, if the first
house is bad, the health will be affected and one can even have a short life. Different systems of
astrology like Hindu system, Western system etc. have different rules for judging the houses. In
other words, all systems use somewhat different rules to identify whether you will get good
results or bad results pertaining to a house in your life. Similarly, KP System also has different rules
and we will be describing those rules in the following sections. Before that, let us have a look at
what is generally assigned to each house by our sages -

First House
Birth, head, physical body, limb, physical features, livelihood, general health

Second House
Wealth, food, right eye, what one eats or drinks, face, eye, speech, family, possession

Third House
Courage, firmness, bad thoughts, breast, ear, especially right ear, prowess, brother or sister -
younger one, heroism, mental strength

Fourth house
House, home, land, relation, mother, vehicle, happiness, water, learning, school education

Fifth House
Intellect, children, son, belly, traditional law, virtuous acts previously done

Sixth House
Debt, wounds, disease, enemy, sin, a wicked act, fear, humiliation

Seventh House
Desire, love, passion, cohabitation, partner, public, wife or husband, dowry

Eighth House
Life, longevity, mental pain, defeat or insult, sorrow, scandal, ill-repute, death, impurity, obstacle,
danger

Ninth House
Guru or preceptor, father, auspicious, previous life , worship, penance, virtue, grandson, prayer,
spiritual initiation, noble family, fortune

Tenth House
Livelihood, kingdom, work, commerce, trade, business, rank or position, good conduct, honor,
sacrifice, command, quality, wealth, occupation

Eleventh House
3

Profit or gain, income, all kinds of receipts, acquisition, gain, desire, passion, fulfillment of one's
desire, wealth or riches, brothers and sisters - elder one, friends

Twelfth House
House of disappearance, bondage, loss, negation, bed, sin, poverty, penury, loss, decline, misery,
left eye, leg, defect

Cusps

The point at which two houses meet is called a Cusp. Starting point of a house is called the cusp
of that house. Sometimes terms 'cusp' and 'house' are used interchangeably. For example, lord of
the cusp and lord of the house has the same meaning in KP.

The planet that owns the sign that falling on the cusp of a house is called the owner or the lord
of the house. Please note that the terms 'owner of a house' and 'house lord' are used
interchangeably in astrology. In the example chart below, the cusp of the first house falls in sign
Aries. Mars is the owner of the sign Aries. So, we will say that first house lord is Mars. Similarly,
cusps of the second and third house fall in Taurus sign which is owned by Venus. So we will say
that the second house and third house are owned by Venus. Some of the astrologers from the
classical astrology background will find this unusual that both second and third house are owned
by Venus. This happens due to the fact that KP follows unequal house division. We will talk about
the house division in details later.

Signs

The whole Universe is divided into 12 equal parts and each part is referred to as a sign. So there
are 12 signs as follows -

1. Aries
2. Taurus
3. Gemini
4. Cancer
5. Leo
6. Virgo
7. Libra
8. Scorpio
9. Sagittarius
10. Capricorn
11. Aquarius
12. Pisces

There are various classification for the signs. These classifications are sometimes useful in
predictions. Some of the important classifications are as follows -

Classification 1
Fiery Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earthy Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
4

Airy Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Watery Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Classification 2
Movable: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Common: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

Zodiac Division - Sign, Star and Sub

Zodiac is an imaginary belt encircling the heavens within which are all the planets. As we know in
mathematics a circle is of 360 degree. When this circle is divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees,
each part is called a sign. We have already talked a little bit about signs. When this circle is divided
in 27 equal parts of 13 degree 20 minutes, each part is called a Star or a Nakshatra. If we divide a
star further into nine parts, this 9th division of a star is called a 'Sub'. This 'Sub' is the real
backbone of KP System. We have already talked about the lord of a sign and the lord of the star
above. As lord (owner) of a sign is called 'Sign lord', similarly lord of a star is called 'Star lord' and
the lord of a sub is called 'Sub lord'. 'Sub lord' is calculated on the basis of years allocated to each
of the 9 planets in Vimshottari Dasa system. The years allocated to each planet in Vimshottari
Dasa System are as follows -

Planet Years Allocated

Ketu 7
Venus 20
Sun 6
Moon 10
Mars 7
Rahu 18
Jupiter 16
Saturn 19
Mercury 17
TOTAL 120

You can notice the difference in the sequence of the planets noted above. This is the sequence
used in Vimshottari Dasa. Ketu is listed first here because Ketu owns Ashwini star, the first star of
the zodiac, followed by Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.

In each star, first sub lord is the planet that owns the star and then it is followed by the remaining
eight planets in Vimshottari Dasha planet sequence. For example,

If Ashwini is the star which is owned by Ketu, the first sub lord in Ashwini star will be Ketu, the
second sub lord will be Venus, the third sub lord will be of Sun and so on.
If Bharani is the star which is owned by Venus, the first sub lord in Bharani star will be Venus, the
second sub lord will of Sun, the third sub lord will be of Moon and so on.
5

You can notice that there is no name given to a sub like we have given the names for signs and
stars. What we are mostly cocerned about is the lord of that sub i.e. sub lord.

The span of a sub lord can be calculated as follows -

Span of a Sub Lord = (Years of Planet in Vimshottari Dasa/ 120) X 13 degree 20 minutes

as 13 degree 20 minutes can also be written as 800 (13 X 60 + 20) minutes, for simplicity of
calculation, we can say -

Span of a Sub Lord (in minutes) = (Years of Planet in Vimshottari Dasa/ 120) X 800

based on this we can calculate the span of each sub lord as follows -

Span of a Sub Lord Ketu = (7 / 120) X 800 = 46.6666 = 0 degree 46 minutes 40 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Venus = (20 / 120) X 800 = 133.3333 = 2 degree 13 minutes 20 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Sun = (6 / 120) X 800 = 40 = 0 degree 40 minutes 00 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Moon = (10 / 120) X 800 = 66.6666 = 1 degree 6 minutes 40 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Mars = (7 / 120) X 800 = 46.6666 = 0 degree 46 minutes 40 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Rahu = (18 / 120) X 800 = 120 = 2 degree 0 minutes 0 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Jupiter = (16 / 120) X 800 = 106.6666 = 1 degree 46 minutes 40 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Saturn = (19 / 120) X 800 = 126.6666 = 2 degree 6 minutes 40 seconds
Span of a Sub Lord Mercury = (17 / 120) X 800 = 113.3333 = 1 degree 53 minutes 20 seconds

Above can be summarized in a tabular format as follows -

Sub Lord Sub Span

Ketu 0°46'40"
Venus 2°13'20"
Sun 0°40'
Moon 1°6'40"
Mars 0°46'40"
Rahu 2°0'0"
Jupiter 1°46'40"
Saturn 2°6'40"
Mercury 1°53'20"
TOTAL 13°20'

To save you from the hassles of calculations, this is a ready reckoner table of Sign, Star, and Sub
can be found here.

Note: High school mathematics is involved in the calculation of Sub lord. Don't worry, if you don't
understand the calculation part because now-a-days we have software programs that can do the
calculation for you. Also the sub lord calculation table mentioned above can be used for ready
reference.

Good and Bad Houses for Specific Matters

Generally 12th house from any house is considered detrimental to that house and hence negates
the results of that house. For example, 2, 7 and 11 houses are the houses that give marriage. 12th
House from these houses i.e. 1 (12th from 2), 6 (12th from 7) and 10 (12th from 11) will give
opposite results i.e. denial of marriage or separation, divorce etc., if already married. This is a
general rule which requires some modifications on the basis of sufficient evidence.

The Horoscope Explained

A horoscope (also called Chart or Kundali) is a map of heavens seen at a particular time from a
particular place. The KP horoscope is slightly different from the traditional horoscope as it contains
comparatively more information. A KP horoscope typically contains position of 12 planets
(including Rahu, Ketu, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and 12 houses. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are
ignored for the interpretation. There are various ways in which a horoscope can be drawn. In
India two most popular formats are ‘North Indian format’ and ‘South Indian format’. Here is a
sample horoscope diagram drawn for –

Note: Astrologers from the Traditional astrology background may wonder seeing the chart above
how come both 7th and 8th houses are fallen into the same sign Taurus? Which means that Venus
is lord of both the houses. Mars also become lord of 12 th house and 1st house as per KP chart.
Sagittarius and Gemini are kind-of disappeared as no house is falling in these two signs? This is
because of the reason that KP uses Placidus House division system. Unlike Traditional astrology,
7

not all houses are of equal size of 30 degree in KP and hence sometimes no house falls into a sign
or sometimes more than one house fall into a sign. We will talk more about it in the later chapters.

Significators

As mentioned above, 12 houses deal with all aspect of a human life. Generally a planet can give
results related to many houses. For example, from the section ‘Houses’, we can see that 7th house
is the house for ‘marriage’ whereas 10th house is the house for ‘job’. Now, one single planet can
give both job and marriage to a person. Assuming Mars is that planet, we will say that Mars
signifies 7th house and 10th house in such a case.

Similarly, results related to a house can be obtained from more than one planet. Assuming in a
chart Mars and Jupiter both can give Marriage, we will say that 7th house (marriage) is signified by
Mars and Jupiter.

To put in simple language, a planet can signify more than one house. Also a house can be signified
by more than one planet. From terminology, let us move to the method of finding significators in
the next section.

Finding Significators

Here is the sign, star and sub position for all the planets and cusps for the example chart -

Finding Signification of Planets

Two level signification is used for finding cuspal promise while three level signification is used for
finding Dasha promise.
1. For two level signification we need to find the Planet and its Nak Lord
2. For three level signification we use Planet, its Naklord and Sub lord

Let’s imagine Planet A is in the Nakshatra of B and in the Sub of C.

1. Now, every Planet A works for its Nakshatra Lord B’s cusps primarily and then it works
for its own cusps. This is called signification of the Planet A.
2. Further this signification is subject to be approved or denial by the Sub Lord C of this
planet A.

This the basic rule of signification in KP Astrology. Let’s take an example here. Planet Mars is
in the Nakshatra of Jupiter and in the Sub of Sum. Now Mars will have to work for its Nak Lord
Jupiter’s houses (10th and 4th houses) and then only it can bring the result of its own houses (11th,
5th and 12th houses). So now we will say that Mars is the significator of 10 th, 4th, 11th, 5th and 12th
houses but the for the Mars the signification of 10th and 4th house is more important than other
houses. This signification is further approved or denied by the Sun which represents houses 11th and
9th.

TIP: If there is no planet(s) in the star of any Planet, then that planet’s signification(s) are
considered strong. By a strong significator we mean that the planet has more chances of giving
the result of the house than other significators

Significations of Nodes - Rahu & Ketu

Rahu and Ketu are not planet in true sense. These are shadow planets and do not have any
physical existence. To understand signification of Rahu and Ketu, we need to understand the
'agent' nature of these two.

Rahu and Ketu act as an agent of the planet(s) -

(a) the planet conjoining or aspecting
(b) owner planet of the sign in where it is placed

A node signifies the houses according to the Rule 1 & 2 above. Moreover Ra, Ke also work for their
Sign lord, planet sitting next to them and planets aspecting Ra/Ke.-

Ruling Planets (RP)

Ruling Planets (RP) is a divine tool to help astrologers. As the name suggests, Ruling Planets are the
planets that rule a particular moment. KP System considers total 5 ruling planets in the order of
strength as follows -
9

1. Ascendant Star Lord

2. Ascendant Sign Lord
3. Moon Star Lord
4. Moon Sign Lord
5. Day Lord

Ruling Planets are generally used in conjunction with birth charts or horary charts. Sometimes RPs
also have some other independent applications like predicting minor events and rectification of
birth time.

Rahu and Ketu are added to the list of Ruling Planets if their Sign lord is also a Ruling Planet.

Day lord for each day is as follows -

Day Day Lord

Sunday Sun
Monday Moon
Tuesday Mars
Wednesday Mercury
Thursday Jupiter
Friday Venus
Saturday Saturn

Suppose we have to calculate Ruling Planets at January 18, 2009, 6:00 PM IST at Delhi, India. Here
is the Ascendant and Moon position at that time -

Ascendant Longitude : 097°55'37"

Moon Longitude : 189°17'14"

From the "Sign, Star, and Sub Table", we can find Sign lord and Star lord for both the longitude as
follows -

Longitude Sign Lord Star Lord

Ascendant 097°55'37" Moon Saturn
Moon 189°17'14" Venus Rahu

The day on 18th January 2009 was Sunday, so the day lord will be Sun.

So, here are the Ruling planets for the moment (January 18, 2009, 6:00 PM IST at Delhi, India) -

Ascendant Star Lord Saturn

Ascendant Sign Lord Moon
Moon Star Lord Rahu
Moon Sign Lord Venus

Day Lord Sun

Selection of Fruitful or Powerful significator: A Step by Step Approach

This is a step by step approach often recommended. Out of the significators mentioned above and
select the fruitful significators as follows:
1) Significtors which are common with the Ruling Planets,
2) Significators which are posited in the stars or Sub of the cuspal sub lords of required houses for
a matter under consideration, 2,7,11 for marriage,
3) Significators which are the cuspal sub lords of the required houses,
4) Significators of planets without having any planet in their stars, which are strongest to give the
results of the houses by being the sub lord to them. (Golden Rule: Take the planets which are
posited in the sub of the significators whose constellations are not tenanted),
5) Significators appearing many times amongst the Ruling Planets and significators.
6) Ruling Planets or other methods of selecting fruitful significators can to be used in fixing timing
of event by DBAS.

Finding out promises in a chart

In the "House Grouping" section it was explained that - "for every important aspect of human life,
one house has been given primary importance and few other houses have been given secondary
importance." Standard rules for prediction are -
1. If the sublord of primary house under consideration is signifying house group related to the
matter under consideration then the matter is going to fructify and the answer is positive.
2. On the contrary, if it sublord of primary house is signifying detrimental houses (see good and
bad houses above) alone then the matter will not fructify
3. But, if it sublord of primary house is signifying house group as well as detrimental houses then
the native will get both the results in different dasa period.

As explained in house grouping section, 7th house is the primary house for marriage. 2nd and 11th
houses are supportive houses. These three houses together will be called conductive house group
(or simply house group) for marriage. 1st, 6th and 10th house being 12th from the mentioned
house group are detrimental for marriage. If sublord of 7th house is signifying either 7th or 2nd or
11th then the marriage is promised. The person will definitely marry. This way we can decide the
promises related to various aspect of life in a chart.

Timing Events

Once it is decided whether the event is promised in the chart or not, next important step is to find
out when the event will take place.

The matter will fructify in the Appropriate dasha, bhukti and antara of the significators of houses
group for the matter under consideration. Significators of main and supportive houses needs to be
found out according to the method given in the section "Finding House Significators." Now-a-days
all KP software like http://www.MyKundali.com gives you a list of significator, so you need not to
worry about significator selection process. The event will happen in the conjoined period of the
11

significators of the house group for the matter under consideration. Among the significators, you
need out possible dasha lord, bhukti lord and antara lord. If the selected number of significators
are more than three (we require one for dasa, one for bhukti and one for antara), we need to find
out powerful significators among them according to the rules given in "selection of significator"
section.

Note: In KP System, only Vimshottari Dasa is used. Other dasas like Yogini, Kalchakra, Ashottari,
Chara Dasha etc. are not used.
Generally dasha is for some longer duration. To pin point exact time of happening of an event, we
need to see the transit as follows -

1. Dasha, Bhukti and Antara lord should transit through the significators of the houses under
consideration to fructify the event.
2. For even finer timing, we need to check transit of Sun and Moon. Sun and Moon should transit
through the significators.

Note: Sun transit is considered when the event is likely within a month. Moon transit should be
considered for pin-pointing an event up to a day. Lagan transit should be considered for predicting
the event upto hour and minutes.

House Grouping

Not a single but multiple houses play role in any event of life. In KP terminology, these groups of
houses for the event is called "House Group". This is also referred as Formula by some KP
astrologers. In the table below we need to combine primary houses and supporting houses to
come up with the house grouping for the event. For example, event "Good health" has 1,11 as
house group. Event "Proneness of disease" has house group 1, 6, 8, 12.

There are two uses of the House Grouping table below -

1. Knowing whether the event is promised in one's chart or not

If the cuspal sub lord of primary house signifies primary and supporting houses, the event is
promised.

2. When will the event happen

Events happens when the planet-lords of current dasa (dasa lord, antardasa lord, pratyantardasa
lord, sookshma lord etc.) signifies house group. For example, one has "Good health" when one
passes through dasa of the planets signifies houses 1,11. Similarly, "Proneness to disease"
happens when one passes through dasa of the planets signifies 1,6,8,12.

Preliminary KP Astrology Rules of Prediction

Following rules are time tested and can be utilized for the practice of KP in the beginning. These
rules arequite simple and direct. Yet our understanding of these rules improves as we apply them
again and again.

1st cusp

1. 1st CSL connects to whichever houses, the subject has liking/attachment for those people
or things inlife.
2. Sub lord of the 1st cusp indicates the general health of the native and also his physical
appearance.
3. Sickly native: if the sublord of the Ascendant cusp is in the constellation of planet in 6,
one will be sickly.The period of sickness is whenever the significators of 1 and 6 operate.
If CSL of 1st house signifies 6 or 8 or 12 then health is not so great. Health improves in the
conjoining period of 1, 5 or 1, 11 or 5, 11.
4. If CSL of ascendant signifies 5th or 11th house, then the diseases are not long lasting.
Mostly subject enjoys great health and immunity.
5. Fame of a person is known through the 1st cusp sublord. If 1st CSL is connected to
10th house through Nakshatra, the subject is quite famous. If connected to 10th
house without Nakshatra, then less famous.
6. 1st sublord signifies the 9th house, subject lives away from the native place. If 1st sub
signifies to 12th, then in a different country.
7. To lead a spiritual life, the sub lord of ascendant should be Ketu, deposited in the
constellation of a planet in 9th; further 1st CSL in some manner should be connected to
Saturn and 12th. Moreover, if Venus is well connected to Ma, he will lead a family life and
spiritual life without being a monk. (Ketu is the planet for knowledge and Sa for
detachment, 9th philosophy and higher knowledge, 12th for service to others & life in
loneliness).
8. Boyfriend or girlfriend cheating? If the ascendant sub lord of a girl/boy is full significator
of 11th and well connected to Jupiter then he /she is pure and no cheating is being done.
Chart rotation required.
9. In the question of the missing person, the sublord of the 1 st cusp signifies 2, 8 and 11,
he is sure to return in the period of the significators of 2, 8 and 11. Chart rotation
required.
10. Longevity :- sub lord of the ascendant cusp if signifies badhaka and maraka houses,
short life. If 1st CSL signifies 1,5,9,10, 11 along with 3 & 8, it promises long life. A caution
13

is necessary here. If the sub lord of the ascendant signifies 11 and ascendant falls in a
movable sign, life is short, if it falls in a fixed sign and signifies 9, life is short.

2nd cusp

1. Person bringing the news is speaking truth or notSub lord of the 2nd cusp is

Mars Untruth and mischievous

Saturn Hides some news
Mer Detailed information
Venus Peace maker
Sun Noble, never lies
Jupiter Truth only.

2. If the sub lord of the 2nd cusp is mars or in the star of

Mars Spending rashly
Saturn Economical and careful

3. To cheat another: sub lord of the 2nd cusp should be deposited in the star of the
significator of 6 & 10, and Saturn and Mercury connected to the sublord in some
manner. Ra should also be connected to 2nd House.
4. If the sub lord of the 2nd cusp is either Ketu or Rahu and found in a mute sign, there is
defect in speech (cusp also to be formed in the mute sign).

5. Second house tells about the financial situations of the subject:

If 2nd CSL connects with 2,6,11 without any connection with 5, 8, 12 Pool
If 2nd CSL connects with 2,6,11 with any connection with 5, 8, 12 Bucket
If 2nd CSL doesn’t connects with 2,6,11 but with 1, 4, 7, 9, 10 with 5, 8, 12 Mug
If 2nd CSL connects with 5, 8, 12 only Spoon

6. The sub lord of the 2nd cusp is well connected to 8 & 12, poor eyesight or some other
problem.
7. If the sub lord of the 2 cusp is Jupiter and signifies 11 house, whatever he speaks is true
and willcome to pass, (vaksiddha).
8. If Mars happens to be the sub lord of the 2nd cusp he is argumentative and authoritative,
if it signifies 8th house it causes quarrelsome nature in speech.
9. If the sub lord of the 2nd cusp is Venus and signifies 11 or 5 one will use flirting behavior
(in speech) invariably in all matters.
11. If the sub lord of the 2nd cusp is connected 2 and 12 one will get money through behind
the screen matters (in secret manner). Ra also should be connected.
12. If the sub lord of the 2nd cusp is well connected to 7, second marriage, if connected only
to 11th house,one will have an illicit relation. (first check 7th cusp to ascertain if there is a
chance of second marriage or not)
14

11. If the sublord of the 2nd cusp be connected in any manner with the 11 house then one may
have connection with another’s wife other than his legal partner, provided 5th house is
connected with 2 (otherwise it tells about using another man’s property).

3rd house

1. If the sublord of the 3rd cusp signifying 8 & 12 houses and well connected to mars, one
should predict defective hearing.

2. Selling of the produced goods/stocks: sub lord of the 2nd cusp signifying 3 and 11 will fetch
profit, 3 and 12 loss.

3. Rumor: sub lord of the 3rd cusp is in the star of

Saturn = it is false,
Mars = mischievous,
Jupiter = true,

4. Courage for some difficult Job : if the sub lord of the 3rd cusp is the significator of 2 or 10
or 11, one will surely undertake and come out successful.

5. If the sub lord of the 3rd cusp is the full significator of 1st house, the subject is a brave
person.

6. If the sub lord of the 3 cusp is mars, one will never be satisfied in life, if Jupiter –
legitimate and reasonable ambitions, if Saturn no content at all.

7. If 3rd cusp sub lord is connected to 3 and 11, negotiation/deal for any matter will be
successful
8. If the sub lord of the 3rd cusp is either Jupiter, Sun, Mars or Venus, one has courage and
confidence to compete any competitive examination.

9. If the sub lord of the 3rd cusp signifies 11 and also connected to mercury and

and 11, there will be success in appeal / on petition / request in courts.
15

4th house

1. Discharge from hospital or Jail – 4th house sub should signify 2, 4, 11. In the conjoining
period of 2, 4, 11th house.

2. Construction of house: sub lord of the 4th cusp signifying houses 4, 11 and 12. Saturn
