RPs & BTR
RULING PLANETS (RPS) & BIRTH TIME RECTIFICATION (BTR)
Q1. What are the Ruling Planets?
ANS. At any point in time when we start casting a horoscope or think about a
problem astrologically
1. the star lord of Lagna running at that time
2. the Lord of Lagna running at that time
3. the star lord of Moon at that time
4. the sign lord of the sign Moon is placed in that time
5. the day lord of the day
are collectively called as ruling planets (RPs).
In addition to above RPs
If any Node (Rahu or Ketu) are found in conjunction with or aspected by or in the
sign of any 5 ruling planets, Node must be included in the list of RPs too. In such
cases, we say, that particular node is AGENT of contributing RP. Other than
current RPs, if they are found in a birth chart, then they are called "birth time
RPs".
Moreover, In the Hindu astrology system, we assume start of the day from the
sunrise, hence any time in the night before sun rise and after 00 hrs the day does
not changes and thus the daylord does not change at 00hrs, rather will change
from sunrise. So, According to english time 02-11-2018 2:12 am the day lord will
be Friday, but according to Hindu astrology, this is time before sunrise of 2- 11-
2018, hence, day lord would be Jupiter, the lord of Thursday.
02. Details required to calculate ruling planets ?
ANS. The date/time when astrologer decides to sit for attempting BTR and the
place of astrologer must be used.

03. What is the benefit using RPs in BTR ?
ANS. Ruling planets are essential part of KP astrology. They are termed as divine
help to the astrologer. It is assumed that at the time of solving question, the
planets ruling that time provide important guidance to clear off the confusion.
Yes, there are other methods also available, but BTR using RP is the most simple,
easy to learn and accurate method.
04. Why should I trust RPs ?
ANS. RPs never fail. Astrologer may not get correct indication as a destiny, may be
due to some negative sookshma dasa or due to unfavorable Moon's position on
that day. It does not means that it is failure of RPs. hence, it is the duty of
astrologer when day is not in favor of him, he should not attempt to touch a
sensitive case like BTR or must not do some sensitive prediction. Same I feel for
an Amawasya day. To get help from RPs, we must have faith in divine power, in
RPs, in our Gurus, in our Parents, in our Ishta Deva; and we must calculate them
by bowing head to Guru, Planets and Ishta deva. They will surely provide help
without any failure..
Q5. For how long RPs are valid ?
ANS. RPs are like OTP (One Time Password), hence they are valid for one case and
only for a limited period of time. Suppose, something interrupts the astrologer
(phone ring, TV, someone called, astrologer went out for even a minute or hours)
leaving the analysis incomplete, a new set of RPs must be considered to finish the
unfinished work.
06. Easy method of finding strength of RPs.
ANS. The Ruling planets described above are in the decreasing order of strength.
In the KP Astrology, Nodes are important and stronger, hence must be given
preference over others.

Q7. What are the effective Ruling Planets ?

ANS. Tempting ruling planets must be removed. The RPs in the star of retrograde
planets are useless, so they must be removed, if a node

Wyomesh Deepanker
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ksk.kp/
is agent of such RP, then that Node must also be removed. But keeping such RPs
or discarding them depends upon wisdom of an astrologer. If your heart says that
for BTR purpose, I should not consider this retrogression rule, its okay, do not
consider it, otherwise you may discard such RPs. Usually, in the KP horary
astrology such kind of RPs are considered as useless, for BTR purpose, I don't
discard them but whenever other option is available I prefer that over such RPs.
08. How to check a given birth time is correct or not ?
ANS.Cast the horoscope for the given details using KP ayanamsa and Placidus
house cusps and note down the Ruling planets at birth as well as at the time of
judgement.
Method-1:
All Current RPs must be agree with birth time RPs.
Method-2:
All current RPs must be present as sign/star/sub/sub-sub lord of birth Ascendant.
If not so, then horoscope needs birth time correction.
Q.9 How can I rectify the birth time when exact time of birth provided by the
native ?
ANS. When native says that I was born at 12:35 PM, or at 04:45 AM then it is sure
that there can only be a little difference in the birth time and you may predict
with that chart upto data-bhukti- antara levels provided Lagna is not in 0 or 29
degrees.
In such cases, it is advisable that we can check the presence of a cuspal sublord of
a Cusp related to matter for which native came for consultation. For example, if it
4

is profession/career, then cuspal sublord of 10 must be present in the RPs

provided it is related with the profession of the native. If native comes to consult
about health issues, then cuspal sublord of the 6th cusp must be present in the
RPs provided it is describing the issues, if not, it must be changed by manipulating
birth time a bit.
in such cases, I would suggest that please do not go beyond limit - 10 minutes and
+5minutes.

Example Case
DOB: 21-01-1984, 16:20 hrs IST, Place: Kept secret.
Ruling planets at the time of judgement:
1. Lagna star lord: Rahu
2. Lagna lord: Saturn
3. Moon star lord: Ketu
4. Moon sign lord: Sun
5. Day lord: Venus
According to the details ASC: Gemini 17:08:07 (Ardra-4)
Joint rulers (sign, star, sub, sub-sub lords) of ASC: Me-Ra-Ve-Me
Ascendant lord Mercury is not present in the RPs, but Ascendant is 17 degrees
and native put the birth details with confidence. Gemini Ascendant has star of
Rahu which is present as the strongest RP. hence it is confirmed that Birth in
Gemini ascendant Rahu star. The sublord of ascendant Venus is also present in
the Ruling planets, hence, birth time is correct upto sub level.
The sub-sub lord of ascendant Mercury is not present in the RPs. hence
Ascendant has error at sub-sub level, which is minute. In the Vimshottari dasa
order, we can have Saturn dasa before Mercury and Ketu dasa after Mercury.
5

Ketu and Saturn both the planets are present among RPs, but Saturn is the
stronger as Lagna lord. Hence, sub-sub lord of the Ascendant must be Saturn
instead of Mercury.
At 16:19 hrs the sub-sub lord of the Ascendant becomes Saturn. Hence rectified
birth time is 16:19hrs. Similarly, if we want to correct upto seconds, we can
consider sub-sub-sub lord as Ketu and sub-sub- sub-sub lord as Sun.
This point of ascendant is at Gemini 16:45:31 (sign-star-sub-sub sub-sub sub sub-
sub sub sub sub) are (Me-Ra-Ve-Sa-Ke-Su).
Now all the joint rulers of the Ascendant are present among RPS. Hence, accurate
birth time is 16:18:15hrs, not 16:20.
With rectified birth time Dasa bhogya of Venus at birth is 14 years 2 months and
with the original time it is 14 years 1 month 20 days. A 10 days difference. If we
could have predicted upto 3 levels of dasa then prediction could have no chance
to get failed. hence, it is suggested in such cases when native provide his birth
time. confidently, just predict using that and do not go upto Sookshma

dasa level in case of Natal charts. For pin point accuracy, Transit method can be
used after selecting the DBA of an event.
Since it is very accurate then we can consider the cuspal sub-sub lord of
ascendant to know about the body physique features of the native. It is here,
Saturn and deposited in the Libra. It confirms that person will be having great
physique, and will be taller than average. Person would like to wear jewelry to
compliment his wardrobe.
Cuspal sublord of Ascendant is Venus, Person will tend to get jewelry, comforts,
vehicles, acting, music, drama etc. Venus is in Sagittarius which holds a warrior
symbol, hence body type should be like warrior and will be taller in most cases.

Native is just like described above, hence, if sub sub lord of the ascendant is
confirmed to be correct then use it otherwise we can describe the features using
a correct cuspal sublord too.
Q10. How do I fix the exact time of birth when a duration is provided (e.q. birth
between 3pm to 5pm)?
ANS. In that case, find out all the ascendants falling during the given time period
and choose one with correct star wisely using Ruling planets. Use then remaining
ruling planets wisely as stated in the previous case to fix other joint rulers of the
ascendant.
Example Case:
Native born on 02-11-1969, 4:30 AM to 5:30 AM, Place: kept secret.
Ascendant at 4:30 AM Virgo
Ascendant at 5:30 AM: Libra
From 4:30 onward Virgo has stars of Moon and Mars.
From 5:12:30 hrs Libra starts in Mars star which will remain same upto 5:30 am.
Ruling planets at the moment:
Ve-Ma-Ke-Su-Ve
We can have Mars (present in RPs) star in both the ascendants, Virgo and Libra.
Libra from 5:12:30 to 05:30 has 3 subs, Mer, Ket, Ven.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ksk.kp/
Since, both the signs have Mars star common and Mars is present among the RPs
and Moon is not present in the RPs, it is confirmed that Birth is from 05:12:30 to
05:30 am. in the sub of Ketu and in the sub-sub of Venus. i.e. on 05:21 AM.
Signlord of Libra and starlord Mars in Libra, present in the RPs, but signlord of
Virgo, Mercury is not present among the RPs is another easy way to do the things.
7

At 05:21 AM, the Ascendant is Libra 01-56-59 (Ve-Ma-Ke-Ve) Ve-Ma- Ke-Su-Ve

would be more accurate, but it will be matter of only few seconds at 05:21:40
AM. We can declare correct time of birth as 05:21 ΑΜ.
Let's recheck that Fixed Ascendant Libra is correct or not ?
Randomly generated KP seed (1-249) from computer software: 99
It is Leo 21:53:20 P.Pha star of Venus which rules Libra too. hence, Birth
Ascendant is confirmed again as Libra.
Q11. My ascendant is Taurus or Gemini ?
ANS. Ask the native to provide two horary seeds (1-249).
suppose native provided 39 for Taurus, and 43 for Gemini.
joint rulers (sign-star-sub) of the horary number 39: Ve-Ma-Ra
 joint rulers (sign-star-sub) of the horary number 43: Me-Ma-Ke

Record Ruling Planets at the moment:

Lagna star lord: Ven
Lagna lord: Mar
Moon Star lord: Ket
Moon Sign lord: Sun
Day Lord: Ven
In the KP Astrology sublord is termed as a "Decider". Hence, it is important. In this
case, sublord of horary seed 43 Ketu is present in the RPs, but the sublord of
horary seed 39, the Rahu is not present in the RPs. hence, it is confirmed that the
ascendant of the native must be Gemini, not Taurus. The reason is, Mars star can
be found in both Taurus and Gemini in the given number, but Ketu sub will only
be come in the Gemini (43).

Hence, it is confirmed that correct birth year of Shri Narendra Modi should be
1950.
Similarly, the month of birth can be predicted. Sometimes, extra inputs play vital
role in fixing the month of birth, for example, it was rainy season, it was a night of
winter or like this. Astrologer must ask native to provide such inputs. Additionally,
Movement of Jupiter in a particular star and sub can be used to fix the correct
month of birth along with the Sun, because, sometimes, Jupiter get retrograde
and in that case, we will have same sign/star/sub of Jupiter in two month. Sun will
help to clear the confusion.
In the same way, when we have fixed Sign and star of Sun, we get 13- 14 day
period and now We should look for fixing the Moon's sign and star lords to arrive
at that particular day, and then we may fix the Ascendant of the native.
Although, this is very tedious method and require various kind of inputs and extra
efforts and time, hence is not suggested for normal cases. Horary astrology is able
to reveal the answers of almost any kind of question, can be used in place of
doing BTR in such cases.
Q14. Are there exists some other methods of BTR which are based on RPs ?
ANS. Of course, some exists.
One such method is based upon aligning the Natal Moon's longitude correctly
using RP Ascendant, and aligning the birth Ascendant using RP Moon.
First we calculate the natal chart as per the birth time provided. Then joint rulers
(sign-star-sub-sub.sub) of natal Ascendant and natal Moon must be calculated.
[1] Aliqning the Birth Ascendant using RP Moon.
Note down the joint rulers of RP Moon. Then find out the connection in birth
chart between Natal Ascendant joint rulers and the RP moon's joint rulers, on
one-on-one basis.
e.g.
Birth Ascendant joint Rulers: Me-Su-Sa-Ma
RP Moon's joint Rulers: Ma-Sa-Ve-Me
9

Now, there must be connection exists between these joint rulers, i.e. Me-Ma
must be connected in the birth chart, if so, we say
All rights reserved by the author under the copyright act. Author: Astrologer
Wyomesh Deepanker
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ksk.kp/
Ascendant is correct on the sign level. Su-Sa connection also exists, then we say
upto star level, the Ascendant is correct. Sa- Ve connection must also be there for
the natal ascendant to be correct upto sub level and so on.
what do I mean by connection ?
It can be any kind of connection, Drishti/Yuti/Aspect/Conjunction, star exchange
between two planets, two planets in same star, two planets are same, a planet
and node representing that planet etc. The word "connection" here is used in the
broad sense.
Similarly, Birth Moon can be verified using RP Ascendant joint rulers.
