1/2

"According to KP, owners of occupants of a house do not offer the result by

ownership or occupation, but they offer the results of the lord of the constellation as

signified by occupation or ownership of the constellation lord (star lord). Suppose

for example, the planet ars is in the !th house for a Pisces born Ascendant. ere

ars is owner of #nd Aries and $th Scorpio and occupies %ibra where !th cusp falls.

Suppose ars is in the star of &upiter (lord of ' and ') and &upiter is in #nd houseAries. ere though ars is owner of # and $ and is placed in !th house ars

himself will not be giing #nd and $th and !th house results. *n the other hand,

ars being placed in the constellation of &upiter will offer the results of #nd house

(because ars star lord &upiter occupies the #nd). Again, ars will gie the result of

lagna and 'th house as &upiter is lord of %agna and 'th house. +n other words,

ars, the tenant planet in a &upiter star will act as agent of &upiter for #nd, %agna

and 'th house results. ere ars though occupying !th house will not signify !th

house matters. So here ars in &upiter constellation or star will be a significator for

houses ', ' and # and not for the houses #, ! and $ to which ars is lord and

occupant. +f ars signifies the matter of houses ', ' and #, by irtue of being

placed in a &upiter ruled star, then which planet will offer the results of ars for

house matters #, ! and $

+t will be that planet or planets tenanting one of the three stars of ars (riga,

-hitra, hanista). Suppose there are none in the stars of ars mentioned aboe.

/hen ars itself will offer the results of houses #, ! and $ in addition to house

results of ', #, and '. +n this state (i.e. no planet tenanting ars stars), ars is

said to ac0uire "Positional Strength" for the house occupied by it (!th) and also

houses # and $ owned by it, proided houses # and $ are untenanted. Again when

the houses owned by a planet are occupied by other planets, the owner planet

becomes a ery wea1 significator for the house owned and the occupant planet

becomes stronger than the owner. /he occupant is always stronger than the owner

and occupation is always stronger than ownership.

+n KP, that planet which is placed in any one of the 2 stars of the occupant is the

strongest significator 1nown as first rate significator. Suppose no planet tenants

any one of the three stars of the occupant of a house. /hen the occupant himself

becomes the strongest significator for the house occupied but this is next in

strength only to first rate significator. ars for example, in the aboe cited case

suppose there is no occupant at all in a house which is acant. /hen the planet in

the star of the lord of the house will be significator for the acant house. Suppose

there is no planet at all in the stars of the %ord of the house, then the lord of the

house himself will become the significator proided the houses owned by him are

not occupied by any other planet. /his is significators are fixed and decided in

Krishnamurti Padhati.

3or the same matter there may be many significator planets and the same planet

may be signifying seeral matters. So, before proceeding to commence 4udgment

of a horoscope, we must draw up a significator table, based upon the aboe

considerations.

Again in KP, the sub lord exclusiely decides the success or failure of a matter. +f

the sub lord of the tenanting planet is in the constellation of a planet signifying

faorable houses for the matter under consideration, the tenanting planet offers the

results of this constellation lord as decided by the sublord when the period of the

tenant planet runs or wheneer any planet transits the asterism of the tenanting

planet."
