Predictive KP Astrology

This article gives you an effective starting point to learn about “what” houses or bhaavas need
to be judged for “what matters”. Please note that the article is based on the classical readers
written by Guruji Shri KSK.

Judging Longevity

 The houses 1, 3 and 8 are considered as the bhaavas connected to the longevity
of a native.

 The houses 2, 7 and 12 are known as the "Maarakasthaanas" (death inflicting

houses) as they are 12 counted from 3, 8 and 1 respectively.

 Baadhakasthaanas are those houses, which cause harm to a native. In most

cases, the baadhaka houses are extremely important in considerations of longevity
and for timing the death of a native. For native born with lagna in "Chara (MOVABLE)"
rasis, the 11th house is considered as the baadhakasthaana. The 9th house is the
baadhakasthaana for native born with lagna in "Sthira (FIXED)" rasis and finally, the
7th house is the baadhakasthaana for natives born with lagna in "Ubhaya (DUAL)"
rasis.

 As far as death is concerned, the baadhaka houses are more important than
the actual maaraka houses. Hence the baadhakasthaana should be given due
consideration.

 Saturn is the CHIEF GOVERNOR of longevity (AAYUSHYA KAARAKA). Hence any

judgment of longevity should be made only after consideration of Saturn and His
Significations (both at a stellar level and also at the sub lord level).

Judging Health, Disease and Cure

 The Lagna is the most important house to be considered for judging the health
of a native.
  The 6th house should be judged for knowing the disease, it's chronicity and
impact on life.

 The cure of disease should be judged from houses 1, 5 and 11. The 11th house
indicates absence of bedridden sickness and the 5th cure of disease.

Accidents and Injuries

 Shri K.M. Subramanian in his classic work, Sub Lord Speaks, has listed the
"TRIGONS".

 The 12 houses can be divided into 4 Trigons (grouping of three).

 The first trigon comprises of the houses 1-5-9 and these reveal the self of the
native.

 The second trigon includes houses 2-6-10, which are collectively known as the
"Material Trinity", defining the material prospects of the native.

 The third trigon is comprised of the houses 3-7-11 and reflects the
communicative abilities of a person and his/her worldly connections and benefits
there from.

 The fourth trigon of houses is made up of houses 4-8-12. This is the trigon
governing accidents, assaults, afflictions, plots and fatality of the native.

 Therefore, to judge accidents and injuries, one should judge the fourth trigon.

 Among the planets, natural malefics like Mars (cuts, wounds), Saturn (joint
dislocations and bone fractures), Rahu (burns, scalds) and Ketu (self-undoing,
addictions) are important in causing accidents and injuries (subject matters are
indicated within brackets).

Education of a Native

 The houses 4, 9 and 11 are to be judged for all matters concerning education of
 a native.

 The 4th house is the main house of education and denotes primary education
and basic education (up to graduation). It should be judged to know whether one will
attend school or college regularly and how one will prepare and fare in examinations
and competitions.

 The 9th house is the house of "Higher Education". It denotes post-doctoral

research, innovations, spiritual studies and anything to do with the "higher sciences".

 The 11th house is important as it deals with "realization of ambitions" and

"fulfillment of desires". To judge whether one will emerge successful in an
examination, the 11th house should be judged in addition to the 4th house.

 To judge when one will complete one's education, the houses 3, 5 and 8 have
to be judged. This is because they denote "completion" of the matters concerned with
education.

 In addition to the above houses, the planets Mercury and Jupiter are natural
governors of education and due consideration should be attached to their significance
in the native's chart.

general (immovable) and also vehicles. The 11th house indicates fulfillment of one's
desire to own a house and the 12th indicates parting with the money (paying the
owner to buy or rent a house) required for the house/building.

house or landed property.

Judging Marriage

marriage. The 11th house denotes permanent friendship, emotional bonding and
pleasures of life which are the natural outcome of marriage.

resulting from child birth. The 5th house is the main house for progeny. It denotes the
first pregnancy or child for a native. The second is shown by the 7th house and the
third by the 9th (siblings are shown by the 3rd house - hence the 3rd from the 5th is
the 7th and the 3rd from the 7th is the 9th and so on). The 11th house is the 5th house
from the 7th (house of the husband or wife).

 To judge the absence of childbirth or to investigate the loss of children, the

houses 1, 4 and 10 are to be judged. These are the 12th houses from 2, 5 and 11
respectively.

 Jupiter is the chief governor of progeny. In addition to Jupiter, Moon in a

woman's chart denotes fertility and Mars menstruation. In a man's chart, Venus
denotes fertility and Sun vitality necessary for begetting children. Hence these planets
and their significations should be carefully considered in any judgment concerning
child birth and children.
