A STUDY NOTE ON FOUR STEP THEORY

I. INRTODUCTION

1. This is a study note for better understanding of the Four Step Theory.

II. SIGNIFICATORS

2. The 4 steps are as follows:

1) The Planet itself 2) The Star Lord of the Planet3) The Sub Lord of the Planet4) The Star Lord of this Sub Lord

3. In each step, the houses signified by the planet are the house occupied and the houses owned by the planet. All the houses indicated in the 4 steps are basically the secondary significators of the ‘main’ planet in the step 1. Out of them the primary (strong) significators are chosen by the basic and special rules.

4. Only the primary significators are considered in this theory and the 3rd and 4th steps are given more importance. In checking the promise of an event by the relevant cusp sub-lord and choosing the fruitful DBA for an event, the cusp sub-lord and the DBA lords are considered by the houses of primary significators in all 4 steps.

III. PRIMARY SIGNIFICATORS

III.1. Basic Primary Significators

5. The basic primary significators are as given under:

III.1.1. Based on Starlord

5.1. A planet acting as the starlord of another planet, i.e. a planet in the step 2 or 4 is a primary significator of the house occupied and the houses owned by this planet, provided they are empty (not occupied by Sun to Ketu, without taking into consideration of Fortuna, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). So the empty houses, in the ‘attached’ example chart 1, ‘1, 2, 6, 8, 11, 12’ houses, are to be noted down. These houses primarily signified are the KP grade A significators and grade C significators, which are upgraded when the relevant houses are empty.

III.1.2. Based on Star Position

5.2. A planet with no planet in its star or a planet in its own star is the primary significator of the house it occupies and the houses it owned, only if the houses are

1

Page 2: Four Step Theory

empty. So in the example chart 1, the planets with no planet in their stars are to be marked by “+”, ‘Mo, Me, Ju, Sa’ and the planets in their own stars by “*”, ‘Ra, Ke’. All these planets, ‘Mo, Me, Ju, Sa, Ra, Ke’, are the primary significators in any step of 4 steps. Otherwise the planets in step 1 and step 3 are the secondary significators. These houses primarily signified are the upgraded KP grade B significators for the planets with no planet in their stars and in their own stars and upgraded grade D significators, when the relevant houses are empty. In the example chart 1, Venus is a primary significator in the steps 2 and 4 but not in the steps 1 and 3.

III.2. Rahu/Ketu Significators

6. The above same rules (in the point 5) apply to Rahu/Ketu, which gives the results of the planets conjoined and aspecting within the 3d:20m orb, its star-lord and its sign-lord in the ascending order. As a practical starting point, the house occupied by Rahu/Ketu, and the house occupied and the houses owned by its sign-lord are usually taken into consideration. Only if Rahu/Ketu is itself the ‘primary significator’(as per the principles in the point 5), then the planets conj or aspt, star-lord and sign-lord also will become the ‘primary significators’. If Rahu/ Ketu is itself the secondary significator only, then they also will be the secondary significators even though they are by themselves the primary significators. In the attached example chart 1, since Rahu is a primary significator in any step of 4 steps by being in its own star, its ‘Sgl Ve and conj Ju’ also become the primary significators. In the attached example chart 2, Rahu is a primary significator in the steps 2 and 4 but not in the steps 1 and 3. (R1, pages 30, 41-42, R2, R9) (R1 means the Reference item no 1.)

7. An emphasis is given to take into consideration of the house occupied and the houses owned by the star-lord of Rahu/Ketu when it is the star-lord of another planet, ie. Rahu/Ketu in the step 2 or 4. Its star-lord gives stronger results than its signlord. The primary significators of the conjoined and aspecting planets are also to be added as relevant. The results of the conjoined or aspecting planets or star-lord (when Rahu/Ketu is a primary significator) should be given first priority, then the sign-lord can not give its results. In the attached example chart 2, for the primary significator Rahu as a Stl of Su, ‘Asp by Ju(3,10) and Stl Mo(2,7)’ are supposed to be stronger than ‘Sgl Me(4)’, which is assumed not to give its results in such case. (R 1, pages 28, 30, 41-42, 61, 77, 79, R5, Msg#14976, #14998) (Msg# means the Messages in this KP Group.)

8. The KP Rahu/Ketu rules are only the Kalidasa’s “rules of the results of planets conjoined and aspecting and the sign-lord” plus “Guruji KSK’s star-lord rule”, nothing else, and the same rules followed by ‘Shri Bhatt’ and the Four Step Theory can be seen in Msg#1832, #3231 and Msg #8911 or Ra/Ke rules in the KP E-Zine May 2007, in which each and every practical application of the Rahu/Ketu rules applied by Guruji KSK in his all Readers has been studied and the other views in the KP literature have been provided. It can also be found there whether there are two separate Rahu/Ketu rules as mentioned in Msg#14976 and whether Shri Bhatt could not judge how nodes give the results as mentioned in Msg14998#.

Page 3: Four Step Theory

9. It is worthy to note that Rahu is called as a blemish planet, which creates problems and does not give results effectively to the native when it is in the DBA. If Rahu is a strong significator of improving houses in all 4 steps, which is not found in most cases, then it won’t create problems. Ketu does not create problems if it is supporting favorable houses. (Messages in other group)

II.3. Additional Primary Significators from the KP ‘E’ Grade Significators

10. The special rules of upgrading the weak KP ‘E’ grade significators to the additional primary significators are as follows:

1) Conjunction with Cusp,2) Conjunction between Planets,3) Aspect on Cusp, and4) Aspect between Planets.

II.3.1. Conjunction with Cusp

11. If a planet is in conjunction with a cusp within 3d:20m orb, behind (before) the cusp or ahead (after) the cusp, the planet is ‘automatically’ taken as a primary significator of this cusp in ‘any step’ of 4 steps, irrespective of other planets being in the house whose cusp is conjoined by the planet or the planet not being a primary significator. One may wonder whether a planet can become a primary significator by the mere conjunction with a cusp within 3d:20m orb. In the case of conjunction before the cusp, the physically occupied house is also taken into consideration as a significator, and it will also become a primary significator when the relevant planet is a primary significator. In such a case, the planet becomes a primary signifcator of the conjoined house as well as the previous house, which is a negative house for the conjoined house. The 3d:20m orb can be increased up to 4-5 degree especially for the fast moving planets (Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus) and the very fast moving Moon. (R 1, pages 20-24, 27, 49, 53, 57, 61,67, 91; R2, Part-4 & 5; Msg#13680, #13882, #14148, #14976)

12. In the example chart 1, ‘Ven conj 6’ is a conjunction before 6th cusp, and ‘Me conj 7, Ju conj 3, Ra conj 3, Ke conj 9’ are the conjunctions after the cusps. In the case of ‘Ven conj 6’ before the cusp, the physically occupied house 5th is also taken in to consideration. When Venus becomes a primary significator by being the star-lord of Mars in the step 2, both 5 and 6 houses become primary significators, offering 6th and 5th, ‘12th to 6th’, at the same time, which are opposing to each other such as gain and loss, sickness and cure etc.

II.3.2. Conjunction of Planets

13. If a planet is conjoined with another planet within 3d:20m orb, the planet becomes a primary significator of another planet, only if the original planet itself is a primary significator (as per the rules in the point 5). These two planets (excluding Rahu/Ketu) in conjunction will offer the results to each other. However, in the case of ‘Ra/Ke conj

3

Page 4: Four Step Theory

another planet’, ‘only’ Rahu/Ketu offers the results of the conjoined planet as an agent of this planet but the conjoined planet cannot offer the results of Rahu/Ketu. (R 1, pages 27-28, 41-42, 51-53, R2-Part 4 & 5; Msg #13882, #14140)

14. In the example chart 1, in the case of ‘Su conj Me’, Sun gives the results of Mercury when Sun becomes a primary significator by being the star-lord of Venus in the step 2. On the other side, Mercury, having no planet in its star, offers the results of Sun in any step of 4 steps. However, in the case of ‘Ra conj Ju’, ‘only’ Rahu offers the results of Jupiter as an agent of Jupiter since Rahu is a primary significator by being in its own star. Here a caution is that Jupiter cannot give the results of Rahu, like Jupiter giving the results of Ketu in the case of ‘Ke conj Ju’ in the example of the R 2-Part 4. Similarly Jupiter, which is the sign-lord of Rahu, cannot offer the results of Ra(2,8) in the first 2 steps like being mentioned to do so in Msg#14867, even though Rahu is an agent of Jupiter. Rahu/Ketu will give whatever the planet is to give when it is an agent of this planet but the planet can not give the results of RahuKetu. It is an agent of the planets conjoined and aspecting and the sign-lord but it does not act as an agent of its star-lord.

II.3.3. Aspect on Cusp

15. If a planet throws the Hindu aspects on the cusps (not houses) within the 3d:20m orb, the planet becomes a primary significator of these cusps, only if the ‘original’ planet itself is a primary significator (as per the rules in the point 5), irrespective of other planets being in the aspected houses. Ketu’s 7th aspect on the ‘cusp’ within 30d:20m orb is taken into consideration, implying to take Rahu’s similar aspect also. (R 1, pages 28, 34, 70, 87, #14976, #14998)

16. In the example chart 1, Jupiter aspects 7, 9, 11 cusps. Since Jupiter is a primary significator with no planet in its star, it becomes a primary significator of 7, 9, 11 houses. In the example chart 2, Saturn aspects 2 only and as a primary significator by having no planet in its star, it becomes a primary significator of the 2nd house. ‘Me asp 7, Ju asp 9, Ve asp 12, Ra asp 9, Ke asp 3’ are all the ‘7th’ aspects. While aspecting these cusps, the planets are conjoined with the opposite cusps, ie. ‘Me conj 1, Ju conj 3, Ve conj 6, Ra conj 3, Ke conj 9. Thus these planets become the significators of opposite houses, ie. Me for 1 & 7; Ju for 2 & 9; Ve for 6 & 12; Ra for 3 & 9; Ke for 9 & 3 (Ra /Ke for the same 3 & 9) . One may think whether the same planet can signify the opposite houses, indicating opposite matters and how Rahu or Ketu can aspect the opposite cusp and consequently signify all the same opposite houses. (Msg#3316, #14708, #14843, #14987, #15079) In KP the aspect of Rahu/Ketu is not considered since it is only the sensitive intersecting point in the pathway of Sun and Moon. In the chart in the R5, where Sun (Sc 09-03) is conjoined with the 12th cusp (Sc 10-59) and aspects the 6th cusp (Ta 10-59), signifying the opposite houses of financial gain (6th) and loss (12th) at the same time, which are opposing to each other. Whether to take into consideration of all primary significators or to exclude some of them, especially significators by 7th aspect is up to the own judgment and preference of an astrologer. If 7th aspect is not taken into consideration, Rahu/Ketu’s opposite 7th aspect on a cusp will be automatically ruled out. Depending on which option is chosen, the result can be entirely different, for instance in the example chart in

4

Page 5: Four Step Theory

Msg#14714, Antara lord Venus can give marriage if ‘Su asp 7’ is taken into consideration in the 4th step, otherwise marriage is denied in Venus Antara by the primary signification of ‘totally negative’ houses 1, 12 in the 4th step.

17. The Rahu/Ketu conjunction with a cusp within the 3d:20m orb is not rare as said in Msg#14976 but common as shown below:

1) R1, chart no 5, ‘Ketu conj 3’ 2) R1, chart no 8, ‘Ketu conj 12’ 3) R1, chart no 10, ‘Ketu conj 1’ 4) R1, chart no 16, ‘Ketu conj 2’ 5) R1, chart no 17, ‘Ketu conj 9’ 6) R2- Part 2, example chart, ‘Ke conj 10’7) R2- Part 4, example chart, ‘Ke conj 3’8) R2- Part 5, example chart, ‘Ke conj 11’9) Msg#5258, example chart, ‘Ke conj 10’10) Msg#13680, example chat, Ke conj 6’11) Msg#14700, example chart, ‘Ketu conj 3’12) Msg#14711, example chart, ‘Ketu conj 9’13) Msg#14787, example chart, ‘Ket conj 9’14) SUB LORD SPEAKS LIX 1st example, ‘Ket conj 8’

18. Every case is unique but the rules are general for all cases without discrimination. The rules can not work for each case and every event, for instance the marriage on 13-4-1979 (ceremony on 14-4-1979) of the live chart in Msg#14774 can not be clearly justified by the KP or Four Steps rules.

II.3.4. Aspect between Planets

19. If a planet has the Hindu aspect (throwing or receiving) with another planet within the 3d:20m orb, the planet becomes a primary significator of another planet, provided the original planet itself is a primary significator (as per the rules in the point 5). (R 1, pages 28, 30, 54, 57, 70, 75)

20. In the example chart 1, ‘Mo Aspected by Ju’ and on the side of receiving aspect, Moon with no planet in it star, as a primary significator, offers the results of Jupiter in any step of 4 steps. On the other side of throwing aspect, Jupiter, a primary significator by having no planet in its star, also gives the results of Moon in any step of 4 steps. In the chart of Msg#13882, Me (Ar 07-21) and Jupiter (Li 04-40) are aspecting each other by 7th aspect, which is not taken into consideration there. If this 7th aspect is taken into consideration like in the Four Step Book, Mercury, as star-lord of Sun, has to offer the results of Ju(8-11) and Jupiter, without any planet in its star, has to give the results of Me(2-5), and thus both Mercury and Jupiter have to signify the same opposite houses of 2 and 8 at the same time, which seems doubtful.

IV. RULING PLANETS

21. The RPs of only 4 items applied in this theory are in the following order. (R1, pages 32, 34, 40-42, 81-83, 88, 91, R2-Part 5, R9, Msg#13610, #13882, #14553, #14976):

1) Lagna Lord,2) Moon’s Starlord,3) Moon’s Sign Lord, and4) Day Lord.

22. The Rahu/Ketu is to be taken as the RPs, only if it ‘directly’ appears in the RPs and not to take it while appearing as the agents of the RPs.

23. The ‘main essence’ of this theory is to judge the events without the help of the RPs and so they are not used in fixing the DBA, except in the analysis of the chart no. 21 at the end of the R1, pages 91-92. The RPs are used ‘only’ to confirm or correct the sub-lord of the relevant cusp in the Natal chart. If the sub-lord is among the RPs, it is supposed to be correct. If it does not appear in the RPs, the RP (planet), which is ahead or behind the original sub-lord is taken as the corrected sub-lord of the relevant cusp. The preference is given to the RP as per the above order of priority, if both planets ahead and behind the original sub-lord appear in the RPs. The confirmation or correction of the cusp sub-lord under consideration is to be done, as if there is some change in the birth time, before the prediction of a natal chart. However, the horoscope is not recasted in line with the corrected sub-lord of the relevant cusp.

24. The RPs will change depending on time, place and person. Consequently, any result based on the RPs also will change, implying not giving support or help to everybody at every time. (R1, page 2, Msg#14833,#13387, #14976, #5051, #5054)

25. For the example chart 1, the RPs at the time of judgment, at 22:03:27 PM on 08-10-2007 at 39N05, 77W09, TZ (GMT-5) are as follows:

1) Lagna Lord = Venus2) Moon’s Star Lord = Venus3) Moon’s Star Lord = Sun4) Day Lord = Moon

26. Since the 12th cusp sub-lord Moon is in the RPs, it is supposed to be a correct sub-lord. For a case where the relevant sub-lord is not in the RPs, suppose the Day Lord is Mars, then the sub-lord Moon is not in the RPs. So Moon is to be corrected to Sun (before Moon) or Mars (after Moon), which are in the RPs, and the preference should be given to Sun as per the priority order of the RPs.

Page 7: Four Step Theory

V. PROMISE OF AN EVENT

27. If the sub-lord of the cusp governing the event under consideration is a primary significator of any or more of the required houses (2, 7, 11 and 5, 8 for marriage) in any or more of the 4 steps, then the event is promised for fructification unless there is the primary signification of ‘totally negative’ houses (4, 6, 12 for marriage) in the steps 3 and 4. Whatever it may be or even though there are the primary significators of the ‘totally negative’ houses (4, 6, 12 for marriage) in the steps 1 and 2, any primary significator of the required houses (2, 7, 11 and 5, 8 for marriage) or a mixture of positive houses (2, 7, 11 and 5, 8 for marriage) and negative houses (4, 6, 12 for marriage) in the steps 3 and 4, will give the positive result. The result will be unfavorable, only if the primary significators are ‘totally negative’ (4, 6, 12 for marriage) in the steps 3 and 4. So the primary significators in the steps 3 and 4 are ‘more important’ than the ones in the steps 1 and 2. The common rule of taking ‘12th to any house’ as a ‘negative house’ for this house is not applicable in every case, for instance the 1st house, though 12th to the 2nd, is not held as a negative house for 2nd, but considered as a primary house to get money as it represents the native and his efforts etc; 10th is not considered as a negative house to 11th. In the 1st example chart of the SUB LORD SPEAKS – LVII article, the 7th cusp sublord Mercury is a primary significator of 12 only in the 4th step, without any other marriage giving primary significtors of 2, 7, 11 and 5, 8 in the steps 3 and 4. If 12th is considered as a negative house to marriage, the result will be the same as in the article that the martial life is not promised. In the example chart of the R4, the marriage an not be promised, if the 12th house is considered as a negative house for marriage since the 7th cusp sub-lord Venus is the primary significator of 12th house only in the 4th step. As per KP marriage is also found not promised in Msg#6077 (#6088). (R1, page 41-42, R5, Msg#4409, #13195, #13245, #13571, #14336, #14364)

28. In the example chart 1, the 12th cusp sublord is Moon, primarily signifying 12, 3, 7, 9, 5 in the steps 1 and 2 and 3, 5, 12, 7, 9 in the steps 3 and 4. So foreign going is definitely promised. It will be denied, only if Moon is a primary significators of totally negative houses 2, 8, 11 and 4, 6 in the steps 3 and 4, without any primary significator of 3, 9, 12 and 5, 7. Moreover, since Moon is a primary significaotrs of 11 in the step 1 and most importantly 6 and 11 in the step 3, it is possible for getting a monetary gain to ‘some extent’ through foreign visit during the jointly favorable DBA for getting money, even though a primary signification of 1, 2, two main houses for getting money, is missing.

VI. CHOICE OF DBA

29. The DBA lords are to be judged by the same above approach for an event to fructify.The event will fructify only when the DBA lords are jointly the primary significators of all the required houses (2, 7, 11 for marriage). Suppose the Dasa lord is the primary significatotr of the house 2 and the Bhukti lord is a primary significator of the house 5 or 11, then the Antara lord should be the primary significator of the remaining house 7 to complete the chain of DBA for the event to materialize. The 3 houses must be found in the DBA lords. The event will not materialize, if there are only primary significators of

7

Page 8: Four Step Theory

totally adverse or negative houses in the steps 3 and 4 of the DBA lords. . In the second example of the R3, Moon may not be chosen for the Bhukti in the DBA chain for marriage because Rahu is a primary significator of totally negative houses 1 and 12 for marriage in the 4th step of Moon. However, if the star-lord of Rahu, Ketu is taken into consideration, Ketu is in 6 and its sign-lord Mercury is in 10 and lord of 10, 7. This 7th is supposed to help in taking the Moon Bhukti in the DBA chain. In the example of the R10, the Bhukti lord Jupiter may not be taken in the DBA chain for child birth because Jupiter is the only primary significators of totally negative houses 4, 8, 10 in the 4th step without any primary significators of 2, 5, 11 and 9 in the steps 3 and 4. Moreover, if the 8th ( 12 to supporting 9) is considered as a negative house for child birth (which is not clearly known), the Dasa lord Mars and Antara lord Moon may not be taken in the DBA chain for child birth because both Mars and Moon are the primary significators of 8th only in both steps 3 and 4. (R 1, pages 31-32, 39, 41-42, 75-76; R2-Part5; R 3, R8, Msg#13265, #13469)

30. In fixing the Dasa, if sometimes there may not be any ‘primary significator’ of required houses in any of the 4 steps, then its ‘secondary significator’ in any step can be taken into consideration as the Dasa period is too long. But for the Bhukti and Antara, a primary significator is needed in any step for the event to take place. (Msg #14357, #14381, #14393) In fact, the DBA chain can not be complete, if the Dasa lord is not a primary significator of at least one of the required houses. If the running dasa does not signify any of the required houses (2, 7, 11 for marriage), this dasa is left and the next dasa, which signifies any of the required houses, is chosen to make the DBA chain (2, 7, 11 for marriage) complete (Msg#13469, #13882)

31. In choosing the fruitful Antara out of many primary significators of the required houses, the priority is given to the earliest Antara, at the time of question, if the Lagna is in a movable sign; the next Antara, if the Lagna is in a fixed sign; and the following Antara of the last priority, if the Lagna is in a common sign; if it is still doubtful, Rahu/Ketu Antara can be chosen, as the nodes are stronger than the planets. Another practical way is to choose the Antara, of which lord signifies the required houses in the steps 3 and 4 other than the signification in the steps 1 and 2 as the primary significators in the steps 3 and 4 are ‘more important or stronger’. When a main house of the required houses (2 for marriage) is primarily signified by a planet only, a primary significator of a supportive house (5 or 8 for marriage) can be chosen to make the DBA chain complete as the supportive houses are supposed to give the results of the main houses in certain cases. If there is not any planet, which is a primary significator of the required houses, the sub-lord of a cusp under consideration (4th in buying a house) can be taken into consideration with giving preference to the cusp sub-lord, which is also a primary significator of the required houses (4, 11, 1 in buying a house). (R 1, pages 37-38, 46-47, 68, 80, Msg#13680)

32. In the example chart 1, a monetary gain through foreign visit can be expected during the DBA chain jointly signifying 3, 9, 12 and 5, 7 along with 1, 2, 6, 11. A lot of combination of DBA is generally possible according to the very wide range of primary significators as summarized below and the details are provided in the Appendix. The

8

Page 9: Four Step Theory

primary significators of 1, 2 houses in the steps 3 and 4 are preferable for a monetary gain.

1) Su/Ma/Me/Sa signify all houses except 4.2) Ra/Ke signify all houses except 1-2.3) Mo/Ju signify all houses except 1-2-4.4) Ve signifies 1-2-6-7-11.

33. On the contrary to the example chart 1, in the attached example chart 2, the DBA chain can not be complete for such major events of finishing engineering, paper marriage and leaving for USA due to a ‘very limited’ number of primary significators, which are also the same for some planets.

34. In the example chart 1, the Sa-Ra-Me DBA at the time of planned foreign visit is easily found to be a complete chain of BDA for a monetary gain through foreign visit, as shown under.

1) Dasa lord Saturn primarily signifies 9, 5, 3, 12, 7 and 6, 11 in the steps 1 and 2; and 7 and 6, 1, 2, 11 in the steps 3 and 4.2) Bhukti lord Rahu primarily signifies 3, 5, 12, 7, 9 and 6, 11 in the steps 1 and 2; and 9, 5, 3, 12, 7 and 6, 11 in the steps 3 and 4.3) Antara lord Mercury primarily signifies 7, 3, 5, 12, 9 and 2, 11, 1, 6 in the steps 1 and 2; and 7, 3, 5, 12, 9 and 2, 11, 1, 6 in the steps 3 and 4.

VII. TRANSIT

35. A near timing of event can be fixed by the transits of the DBA lords. Here it is to check the star-lord of the fast moving planets (Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus) and the sub-lord of the slow moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu) in the first 2 steps only, without taking consideration of more important steps 3 and 4. The event will fructify, if these star-lord and sub-lord are the primary significators of any or more of the required houses (2, 7, 11 and 5, 8 for marriage) in the first 2 steps, without taking into consideration of negative houses . The transit will not favor the event to take place, if there are the primary significators of the totally negative houses (4, 6, 12 for marriage) only. The event will not materialize while the star-lord or sub-lord, in which the DBA lords are transiting, is in retrograde. In such a case, the next transit is to be considered. The event will not fructify unless the transits of DBA are favorable even when the DBA lords are fruitful. (R1, pages 49, 52-54, 71-72,76-77; R2-Part 5, R3)

36. For the example chart 1, around the planned timing of foreign visit, Nov - Dec 2007:

1) Dasa lord Saturn (slow moving planet) will be transiting in the Mercury ‘sub’ till 9-11-2007, and then in the Venus sub. 2) Bhukti lord Rahu (slow moving planet) will be transiting in the Jupiter ‘sub’ till 20-11-2007, in the Rahu sub till 27-12-2007 and then in the Moon sub.

Page 10: Four Step Theory

3) Antara lord Mercury (fast moving planet) will be transiting in the ‘star’ of Mars till 11-11-2007, then in Rahu star till 20-11-2007, Jupiter till 29-11-2007, Saturn till 8-12-2007, Mercury till 16-12-2007, Ketu till 24-12-2007, Venus till 02-01-2008. 4) No star-lord or sub-lord will be in ‘retrograde’ to negate the results of DBA. If any star-lord or sub-lord is in retrograde, the event can not be materialized during such period of transit, and it will require towait for the next transit.

37. The primary significators of the above star-lords and sub-lords in the first 2 steps (1 and 2) are as given under.

1) Ketu: 9, 5, 3, 12, 7and 112) Venus: 7 and 6, 1, 2, 113) Moon: 12, 3, 7, 9, 5 and 114) Mars: 5, 12 and 65) Rahu: 3, 5, 12, 9 and 11, 66) Jupiter: 3, 12, 7, 9, 5 and 11, 67) Saturn: 9, 5, 3, 12, 7 and 6, 118) Mercury: 7, 3, 5, 12, 9 and 2, 11, 1, 6

38. Since every star-lord or sub-lord, in which the DBA lords will be transiting, primarily signifies one or more of the required houses, the transit agrees with the DBA. The most beneficial time for a monetary gain through foreign visit is expected, firstly from 9-12-2007 to 16-12-2007 while Dasa lord Saturn will be transiting in the Venus sub, Bhukti lord Rahu in its own Rahu sub and Antara lord Mercury in its own Mercury star, and secondly from 25-12-2007 to 02-01-2007 while Dasa lord Saturn will be transiting in the Venus sub, Bhukti lord Rahu in Rahu/Moon sub and Antara lord Mercury in Venus star.

VIII. RETROGRESSION

39. The retrogression is not applied in the horary and natal prediction. It is used ‘only’ in considering the transits of DBA lords for the event to take place. The transiting DBA lords should not be in the relevant sub and star of retrograde planets for an event to materialize. (R1, pages 54, 75, Msg#13296, Messages in the other group)

X. URANUS, NEPTUNE AND PLUTO

41. Uranus giving sudden, unexpected results, Neptune deceit and Pluto explosive results are also taken into consideration. It is supposed to avoid many mistakes by taking into consideration of the effects of these planets in KP. In an example chart for a match, Mars aspecting Pluto within the 3d:20m orb has to give the result of Pluto, unexpectedly loosing the match, reversing Mars’ own primary signification of 1, 6. (R1, page 63-64, Msg#13387) In an example chart of child birth in the R6, although the star-lord of the 5th cusp sub-lord’s sub-lord Jupiter, a primary significator, is in the ‘odd’ sign, the first child was a girl due to Jupiter’s conjunction with Neptune in retrograde, giving a negative result. For the sex of the 2nd child, there was no effect of Jupiter’s conjunction with Neptune because Jupiter is not a primary significator in this case. The star-lord of the 7 th cusp sub-lord is Mars, and it is in conjunction with Pluto and aspects the 6 and 10 houses within the prescribed orb, indicating illness and caesarian, negative to the desired normal delivery. These write ups and the chart of the given birth details do not tally in the article (R6). Neptune in 7th is also supposed to deny marriage, which is promised by the standard approach. (Msg#14051) However, the negative affects of Neptune and Pluto are not conclusive. (Msg#14075, #14106, #14157) Pluto the planet is dead. (Msg#9423, #9680) Moreover, to make or break a rule, a study or one’s experience of ‘at least’ 100 cases with around 70-75% favorable results may be required.

XI. OBSERVATION

42. Once the primary significators are ready in hand, the prediction is theoretically easy by choosing the DBA chain and checking transit. However, practically it may not be so as per a review of events below.
