9. A MODO DE SÍNTESIS: EXPERIMENTACIÓN EN CONTEXTOS DE CAMBIO E INNOVACIÓN
9.6. CONSIDERACIONES FINALES
Vijay Kumar
Introduction:
y studies of various astrological principles in Parasharic, Jaimini, Tajika, Prashna and KP system of astrology have led me to firmly conclude that many parameters of Parasharic knowledge could be imported to KP domain and utilized in the framework of KP way of delineation and be used along with the existing KP parameters to gather better accuracy of
predictive decisions by way of an additional opinion.
A similar approach to introduce Life Sensitive Points (LSPs) was brought forward in the Inaugural Issue of JASA in July-2011, which may have been tested and used by the scholars for general acceptance. One of the additional parameter is the knowledge of Bhava Tithi Sphutas, which is a subject matter of Parashara Jyotish.
This write-up is the result of my humble endeavor to bring the knowledge of Bhava Tithi Sphuta in KP astrology.
Bhava Tithi Sphuta (Parasharic Jyotish)
Reference of Bhava Tithi is drawn from Phaladeepika, Chapter 12, Shloka 15 which elaborates the Putra Tithi. पञ्चाघ्नाच्छशिनः स्फुटादििुहतं भानुस्फुटं िोधयेन्नीत्वा तत्र ततथ ं शिते िुभतत ौ पुत्रौऽस्त्ययत्नािपप । कृष्णे नास्स्त िुतस्स्त ेर्बलविाद्ब्रूयािद्ब्वंयोः पक्षयोः ििे स्च्छद्रतत ौ च पवस्ष्टकरणे न स्यात् स्स् राख्ये िुतः।।

“Subtract five times the longitude of the Sun from five times the longitude of the Moon. If the Tithi represented by the result be an auspicious one in the bright half of the lunar month, the native will definitely have progeny without much effort. But if the resulting Tithi be one of the dark half of the month, the effect will be taken to be negative. It is by close examination of the Tithi-whether it is auspicious or is auspicious in both the Pakshas — bright and dark — that one has to ascertain whether the native will have issues or not. During an Amavasya, Chhidra Tithi, the Vishti karana or any of the Sthira karanas, there will be no Issue at all.”
Bhava Tithi Sphuta (BTS)
Tithi is represented by a defined longitude (Sphuta). When the Tithis are calculated for Bhavas, they too have a defined sphuta. Each Bhava Tithi Sphuta is a sensitive point in the zodiac that controls specific aspects of a Bhava in horoscopy.
In this article, I have humbly tried to blend the application of BTS in Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP).
Understanding BTS
1. Referring Phaladeepika by the quoted Shloka as above, readers may note that the Bhava Tithi is calculated for the 5th house for delineating the prospects of 5th house (children) under reference. 2. It is logical to derive that all the 12 houses (Bhavas) have Tithi Sphutas, just as that of the
quoted 5th house and The Bhava Tithi Sphuta may be calculated independently for all the bhavas in a horoscopy.
3. To recapitulate about the Tithi,
a. Tithi symbolizes the light of the Moon that it receives from The Sun and thus shows how enlightened and prominent the Moon is in the life of the native.
b. The Moon starts receiving light from the beginning of Shukla Paksha and goes to its highest light on Purnima, thereafter starts waning and goes to the complete dark phase on Amavasya.
c. Tithi at any given point of time is represented by the separation of Moon from Sun and is represented by a specific longitude (Sphuta).
Example, every separation of 12 deg of Moon from Sun causes the beginning of each tithi from Shukla Pratipada to Amavasya forming a total of 30 tithis completing the full zodiac of 360 deg.
Let us say, that the Moon is separated from the Sun by 30 deg, it may be said that the Tritiya Tithi at 5deg is operating in Shukla Paksha at that moment of time.

4. When the Birth Tithi in a horoscopy is talked about, it is technically the Bhava Tithi of the Lagna or the 1st house. Thus, this tithi would have a say on the Lagna which may dictate its effect on the physical self and intelligence makeup of the native.
5. The Bhava Tithis in horoscopy may be calculated for all the 12 houses, thus the prospects of all the respective houses may be understood better in light of this new parameter.
6. Chiddra Tithi finds mention in the quoted Shloka from Phaladeepika.
Chaturthi (4), Shashti (6), Ashtami (8), Navami (9), Dwadashi (12) and Chaturdashi (14) Tithis in both Shukla and Krishna Paksha come under the definition of Chhidra Tithi and are
considered inauspicious in results.
7. Each tithi is further divided into two halves, each called Karna, which is the fundamental concept of Panchanga and every astrologer is expected to be aware of it.
8. Both the longitude of BTS and its associated Karna is used in KP application. While the BTS longitude is the main parameter in use, the usage of Karna is no less.
9. The Karna spanned across tithis are tabulated as follows for ready reference.

Notes:
Bava to Vishti are Chara Karna.
Bava to Vanija are ruled from Sun to Venus in weekday order and are auspicious in results
Vishti Karna is ruled by Saturn and is inauspicious in results
Shakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kinstughna are the Sthir Karna. These are ruled by Rahu and Ketu alternatively and are inauspicious in results.

Abbreviating BTS
As indicated above, BTS may be calculated for all the 12 houses of horoscopy. In order to facilitate the uniformity of the representation, it is suggested to represent the BTS as BTS-nH. Here, n is the integer indicating the house (Bhava) and H indicates the House.
Example, the BTS for the 9th house may be represented as BTS-9H.
Calculating BTS
1. BTS is calculated by the manipulation of the longitudes of Sun and Moon under the consideration of the house (Bhava) for which the BTS is to be calculated.
2. Each BTS is calculated by the following formula as per Phaladeepika. BTS of the nth house = n(Longitude of Moon) – n(Longitude of Sun)
This formula translates as follows,
BTS-nth house = n (Longitude of Moon – Longitude of Sun) = n (BTS-Lagna)
Here, n is the house for which the Bhava Tithi Sphuta is to be calculated. The resulting logitude may be brought under 0 to 360 deg span to represent a longitude within the zodiac by expunging multiples of 360 if it exceeds 360 deg.
3. The calculation of BTS remains same irrespective of the natal or horary charts, day or night births, whether the chart pertains to the male or female nativity or whether the charts pertain to human or mundane affairs.
4. The calculation of BTS would become easier, if planetary longitudes are converted in Zodiacal longitudes in decimal figures before applying the formula.
5. By applying the formula, we may calculate Bhava Tithi Sphuta to decipher the following a. Shukla Paksha or Krishna Paksha in operating Tithi
b. Tithi
c. Type of Tithi (Chhidra or not)
d. Part of the tithi operating (1st half or 2nd half) e. Operating Karna
139 6. Example to calculate BTS for 10th house
Consider a chart where the Sun is placed in Scorpio 22 deg 30 min and Moon is placed in Aquarius 9 deg 15 min.
Converting the planetary longitudes to Zodiacal longitudes in decimal figures, we have Sun at the longitude 232.5 deg and Moon is at 309.25 deg.
BTS-10H = n (Longitude of Moon – Longitude of Sun) = 10 (309.25 – 232.5) deg
= 10 (76.75) deg = 767.5 deg
= 47.5 deg (by expunging multiples of 360)
BTS-10H = Shukla Paksha Chaturthi
11.5 deg spent in Chaturthi, thus it is 2nd half of tithi The operating tithi is a Chhidra Tithi
Vishti Karna is operating
Saturn is the lord of Karna
Hypothesis of the applicability of BTS in KP System
Readers may note that the author is attempting to form a starting basis (hypothesis) before the readers to evaluate the BTS in the KP way of analysis as follows. However, the author has tested this concept in numerous cases with astounding results.
a. As noted earlier, BTS find their universal applicability on all kinds of the charts, be it of male/female, birth/horary, day/night births or Jataka/mundane nature.
b. The study of BTS is equally applicable in birth charts as well as in horary charts derived with the horary numbers (be it within 1-249 or 1-2193 scheme) or through time charts. This concept is equally applicable on mundane charts of national importance as well.
c. It may be noted that in all types of analysis of charts, primarily the relevant houses (Bhavas) are identified for analysis and are analyzed for its beneficence and maleficience for the matter in question. Thus, the knowledge about the bhavas is intrinsically important.
d. Note that a house (Bhava) under scrutiny is analyzed by the following parameters in conventional way of delineation in KP framework
140
2. The Bhava-Star-Sub and sub-sub lordship of the Bhava cusp 3. The sub-lord of the Bhava cusp
4. Planets joined in the Bhava and the planets involved in its stars 5. Bhava lord and the planets involved its star, if the Bhava is vacant
e. Even after analyzing all the parameters as indicated above, it is very difficult to assert the overall strength and auspiciousness of the bhava and sometimes some other parameter is really desired which could give an overall assessment, if the bhava is auspicious or otherwise for the native.
The BTS offers help at this juncture as it gives an overall view of the bhava in terms of its auspiciousness or otherwise.
KP approach of delineation of BTS
1. BTS for a bhava has following important parameters to be considered a. Nature of Bava Tithi
b. Bhava Tithi Longitude c. Nature of Karna d. Karna lordship
2. Nature of Bhava Tithi and Karna would show the overall nature of the Bhava but with a difference in meaning. These parameters set perspectives in a different tone.
a. Tithi represent Jala Tatva that involves emotional and sustenance aspects in the native’s life. When the Tithi for a particular Bhava is talked about, its presence is talked about in the life of the native, in other words it is understood if the bhava sustains the native. Thus, if a native’s BTS-7H is not auspicious; it would mean that the native does not have the right perspective of relationship within his life’s definition by its presence or in other words, the native does not receive sustenance from relationship related matters in life.
b. Similarly, Karna represents Prithvi Tatva that shows Karmik aspects in life, which in other words shows accomplishment (a karmik definition). When the Karna for a particular bhava is talked about, its accomplishment is talked about in the life of the native.
For example, if Karna lord of the BTS-7H is auspicious, the native would involve constructively joining hands with the partner to lift the relationship in life because the relationship has the luck to accomplish in life.
c. Readers are cautioned not to draw conclusions on the above alone, as they are subjective conclusions that may drastically undergo changes by the disposition of the BTS and Karna lord in the chart.
141
BTS is a very BIG and HUGE disgnostic tool to understand the deeper dimensions on the life of the native, which should not be under-estimated.
3. BTS for a Bhava is defined through its location in the zodiac longitudinally, thus BTS for a Bhava is defined by sign lord, star lord, sub lord and sub-sub lord just as cusps and planets are defined in KP astrology.
4. The Karna lord for a Bhava is a planet that is one amongst the 9 planets in the horoscopy which has an additional role to play through its lordship of Karmik influences of the Bhava at a Meta level. The Karna lord may be analyzed by applying all the delineation jugglery of KP astrology. 5. BTS for a bhava may be analyzed as follows
a. Note if the BTS for a Bhava is auspicious or not. This would set a holistic tone of the presence of that Bhava in the native’s life.
b. Note its location in the zodiac and note in which house it falls. This would indicate how it sets its presence in life.
Example, If BTS-10H falls in 5th house, it would mean that the work scenarios in the person’s life would always be under constant change, though the native would constantly desire of seeking his optimum professional direction.
6. Sub-lord of the BTS for a Bhava may be analyzed with manifold angles.
a. If it is analyzed wrto the BTS itself, it delineates the strength of the presence of BTS in person’s life
b. If is analyzed wrto the Lagna, it delineates how the results manifests in the person’s life Example, Let us assume that BTS-10H falls in the 5th house and its sub-lord shows its influence to the 8th house. Here, the sub-lord’s influence is centered on 4th house from BTS- 10H which would mean that the native may want to consolidate his professional pursuit, because the 4th house is the home where consolidation takes place and where the native derives pleasure out of his possessions. However, since the sub-lord’s influence is on 8th house from lagna, it would impel the native to change the job for betterment.
7. The Karna may be analyzed for its auspiciousness, which may set a tone if the karmas performed towards the bhava are just and worthy. Rightfully in other words, this may indicate if the native performs rightful actions to receive the karmas pertaining to the Bhava.
8. Sub-lord of the Karna lord may be analyzed as follows
a. Sub-lord of the Karna lord ultimately rules the Karma of a person pertaining to the Bhava in question.
142
b. The analysis may be centered mainly wrto Lagna, as we would be more interested to know the results of karmas coming to the native.
c. The Karna sub-lord may also be the sub-lord of the other bhava cusps, thus it may pose connectivity with those bhavas. In case, if the star lord of the Karna sub-lord is the same as the other cuspal sub-lords, the said cusps would set the tone of their presence in relation to the Bhava under scrutiny.
d. If the Karna sub-lord is positionally strong, it may strongly influence the bhava where it is posited. That bhava from Lagna would be important for imparting the Bhava’s influence from Karmik angle.
Example, If the Karna lord for the BTS-7H gets a positional status in 9H. This would state that the partner would be very active in proving his/her position (3rd house of action from 7th house) and depending on the nature of the Sign and the nature of the Sub-lord planet, the amount of efforts may be scaled. However, the partner may be instrumental to bring luck to the native through such efforts (efforts placed in the house of luck through the efforts).
9. BTS for a Bhava and Karna lord results are dispensed under the influence of the Dasha and its sub-divisions. The dasha results are delineated in the usual way as is done in classical KP. 10. While considering the transit effects, both the transit of sub-lord of BTS and transit of Karna
lord matters a lot. In addition, a benefic planet transiting the BTS or in its trines activates the BTS to give good results, similarly converse for the transit of malefic planets. I have not covered this aspect in this write-up, but a good success rate is likely to be obtained.
11. The application of BTS in KP does not pose any controversy as the house cusps are well defined unlike the Parasharic astrology where there are multiple theories for defining the cusp of houses based on equal house division and un-equal house division.
12. Since, the applicability of usage of BTS is at the hypothesis level, I would request readers to consider adopting the framework of BTS usage as second opinion to the conventional delineations in KP. I have obtained a decisive success by BTS in many conclusions hence I am convinced of its applicability in KP domain.
13. Just as BTS merges well with the KP horoscopy, it merges equally well with LSPs. It would be worth applying both LSPs and BTSs for multitude in predictive excellence.

Demonstrative examples:
In order to be brief, I am taking up only one example case of a female whose birth chart was published by the author in the Inaugural Issue of JASA (July-2011) which had integrated the conventional KP with innovative LSP concepts in the domain of KP.
The analysis on this chart in the present article adds the analysis on the basis of BTS concepts apart from LSP. The BTS concepts are integrated showing the harmony of both the LSP and BTS taken together.
143
BTS calculations and derivations are explained in detail, bringing the BTS concept to the understanding level of readers.
This is the birth chart of a female native who has not derived happiness from her marital life in general. Since the beginning of 2011, she was summoned to leave the house due to serious
misunderstanding from her spouse after being provoked by her mother-in-law. Later, all was settled for forced harmony.

The analysis by conventional means revealed the following.
On a brief look, the 7th cuspal sub-lord Rahu may be examined. Rahu falls in the star of Saturn placed in 9th house whereas its sub lord Sun as 12th lord gets placed in 6th house. This indicates her dissatisfaction and possible discord in the marital life.
Now, examine this case from the angle of LSP.
In principle, we need to calculate the Vivaha LSP to gauze the quality of marital life. Since, the native is born after Sunset; hence the Vivaha LSP is calculated with the formula as Saturn-Venus+Lagna (Refer table of LSP).
Note that the Lagna is not placed between Venus to Saturn when counted zodiacally from Venus to Saturn; hence addition of 30 deg is required. All longitudes are in d-m-s format.
