Pluto). These houses of the primary significators are the KP grade ‘A’ significators and grade ‘C’

significators, which become grade ‘A’ significators when the relevant houses are empty.

8. In the ‘attached’ example chart 1, the empty houses, ‘1, 2, 6, 8, 11, 12’are to be noted down.

Sun occupies house 7 and owns house 1. When Sun is the star-lord of Venus in the steps 2 and 4 of Venus, house 7 is the KP grade ‘A’ significator and house 1 is the grade ‘C’ significator for Venus. The grade ‘A’ significator of house 7 is a strong or ‘primary’ significator by Rule 1 in this theory. Since house 1 is empty, there is no grade ‘A’ or ‘B’ significator for house 1, and thus the grade ‘C’ significator becomes a grade ‘A’ significator and consequently a primary significator of house 1.

III.1.2.Rule 2 of Star Position,ie. Planet with no Planet in its Star or Planet in its own Star

9. 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 owns, only if the houses are empty. Otherwise the planets in the 1st step and 3rd step are the ‘secondary’ significators only, which are not considered in this theory. The planets in the 2nd step and 4th step are always the ‘primary’ significators by the above Rule1. These houses of the primary significators by Rule 2 are the ‘upgraded’ KP grade ‘B’

significators for the planets with no planet in their stars and in their own stars and the

‘upgraded’ grade ‘D’ significators, when the relevant houses are empty.

10. In the example chart ‘1’, the planets with no planet in their stars ‘Mo, Me, Ju, Sa’, are to be marked by “+”, and the planets in their own stars, ‘Ra, Ke’, by “*”. All these planets, ‘Mo, Me, Ju, Sa, Ra, Ke’, are the ‘primary’ significators in ‘any’ step of the 4 steps. But Venus, having Mars in its star, not in its own star, is a primary significator in the 2nd step of Mars only but not in the 1st step of Venus and 3rd step of Venus, Sun and Saturn, except being a primary significator of 6 by the Rule 4 of Conjunction with the Cusp in the point 16. In the ‘attached’ example chart ‘2’, Saturn occupies house 5 (KP grade ‘B’ significator) and owns houses 11, 12 (KP grade ‘D’

significators). Since there is no planet in Saturn star, these grade ‘B’ and ‘D’ sigificators become the grade ‘A’ and ‘C’ significators respectively, ie. there is no other planet for the grade ‘A’

significator of house 5 and for the grade ‘C’ signifcator of houses 11,12. Consequently as explained in the point 8, the grade ‘B’significator, upgraded to ‘A’ significator of house 5, becomes a primary significator, and the grade ‘D’significator, upgraded to ‘C’ significator of house 12 (empty), becomes a primary significator in the the 1st step of Saturn. But house 11 does not become a primary significator because it is occupied by Moon.

11. When a planet is in its own star, the house occupied by this planet is the KP significator of grade ‘B’ as well as ‘A’, for instance in the example chart 1, Rahu in its own star, in house 3 (grade ‘B’) and its star-lord Rahu is also in house 3 (grade ‘A’), and so Rahu is a primary significator of house 3 in any step of the 4 steps, ie. in the 1st step of Rahu, 2nd step of Sun, Rahu, Jupiter and Mercury, 3rd step of Jupiter, and 4th step of Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. Similarly the houses owned by a planet in its own star are the KP significator of grade

‘D’ as well as ‘C’ and they become the primary significators when these houses are empty as explained above.

12. The Four Step primary significators are useful in choosing the ‘strong’ significators in KP as the primary significators of this theory are equivalent to the KP grade ‘A’ significators.

III.2. Rule 3 of Primary Significators through Rahu/Ketu

13.1. The above two rules (Rule 1 and 2) apply to Rahu/Ketu, which gives the results of the conjoined and aspecting planets 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. Rahu/Ketu’s aspect on each other or another planet is not applicable but its aspect on the opposite cusp by 7th aspect is considered in this theory.

13.2. Only if Rahu/Ketu is itself the ‘primary’ significator (as per Rule 1 and 2), then the house occupied, the planets in conjunction or aspecting , 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 example chart ‘1’, since Rahu in its own star is a primary significator in any step of the 4 steps by Rule 2, its ‘3 Occupied’, Cnj Ju(3-8, Asp Mo[10-12], Asp 7,9,11, Cnj 3),

‘Asp 9’, and ‘Sgl Ve(5,12,6) also become the primary significators in 1st step of Rahu, 2nd step of Sun, Rahu, Jupiter and Mercury, 3rd step of Jupiter and 4th step of Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. In the ‘attached’ example chart ‘2’, Rahu with Moon in its star and not in its own star is a primary significator in the steps 2 and 4 only by Rule 1, ie. in the 2nd step of Sun and 4th step of Saturn only, ie. ‘7 Occupied’, ‘Asp by Ju(3-10)’, ‘Stl Ma(2-9)’ and ‘Sgl Me(4)’ but it is not a primary significator in the 1st step of itself Rahu. (R 1, pages 30, 41-42, R 2, R 5) (R 1 and R 2 represent the Reference item no. 1 and no. 2 respectively)

13.3. There is an emphasis 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 is in the step 2 or 4. The house occupied and the houses owned by the star-lord are considered.

The star-lord gives the stronger results than the sign-lord of Rahu/Ketu. The primary significators of the conjoined and aspecting planets are also to be considered when they are 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 cannot give its results. In the example chart ‘2’, among the primary significators of Rahu in the 2nd step of Sun and 4th step of Saturn, ‘7 Occupied’, ‘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 a case. The ‘star-lord’ of Rahu is taken into consideration when it is in the ‘2nd’ step of Sun and ‘4th’ step of Saturn. But the

‘star-lord’ of Ketu in the ‘3rd’ step of Mars is not considered because the star-lord is to be considered, only if Rahu/Ketu is in the ‘2nd or 4th step’. (R 1, pages 28, 30, 41-42, 61, 77, 79, R 3. R 14)

14. Rahu is called as a blemish planet, which creates problems and does not give the results effectively to the native when it is in the DBA. If Rahu is a strong significator of the 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 the favorable houses.

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

15. The special rules of upgrading the weak KP ‘E’ grade significators to the primary significators in this theory are as follows:

1) Conjunction with the Cusps, 2) Conjunction between the Planets, 3) Aspect on the Cusps, and

4) Aspect between the Planets.

II.3.1. Rule 4 of Conjunction with the Cusps

16. If a planet is in conjunction with a cusp within the prescribed 3d:20m orb, behind (before) the cusp or ahead (after) the cusp, the planet ‘automatically’ becomes a ‘primary’ significator of this cusp in ‘any’ step of the 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.
