RP application in KP (Krushnamurti Padhdhati) Astrology System

Ruling Planets and Events within 24 Hours

 Dr. Andrew Dutta (Sri Indrajit)

                     

Krishnamurti Paddhati is a crown among all the systems of prediction in astrological science. The rules of prediction are uniform
across cases and the route of prediction followed is always the same. The modus operandi of this system is same for all sorts of
prognosis and an applicant of this system need not get confused at all as to how to reach a concrete conclusion.

In order to bring this clarity in this system of prediction, our great Guruji late Shri K.S. Krishnamurti invented two concepts, the credit
of which is solely his. The first is the breaking up of a constellation of 13 deg 20 mins into 9 unequal divisions according to the
Vimsottori Dasa proportion of planets. These 9 divisions of every constellation is called as the Sub-division or more popularly as the
“sub”. It is this sub which acts as the determining factor in KP based prediction.

Guruji’s second invention was the concept and use of Ruling Planets, popularly called as the RP. Guruji used to call the RPs as ‘divine
indication’ because the RPs help a KP practitioner to correctly pinpoint events correct to the nearest minute. This article is an
endeavor to discuss some fundamental principles of ruling planets where the use of RP was made in day to day life to pin point the
time of an event correct to the very minute.

To become an adept in KP based prediction methods one has to be well conversant with the use of RP. One of the best to
understand the role of RP and how it behaves and gets linked with the event is to constantly use it in one’s own personal life in day to
day events. Only then shall the actual role of RP come to the fore.

As ruling planets, our Guruji originally gave 4 planets. In decreasing order of importance they are:

            Ascendant Lord

            Moon Star Lord

            Moon Sign Lord, and the

            Day Lord

Here ‘Ascendant Sign Lord’ means the lord of the sign which is rising on the eastern horizon at the time when the judgment for the
query is undertaken. Therefore, for the same time, the lagna or the Ascendant will differ in different places. For example, the
ascendant at 10:30 am in Hyderabad would be different from that of Ahmadabad. So, it is necessary to ascertain the correct
ascendant which is rising at the time and place where the astrologer is drawing up the ruling planets

Even though Guruji originally advocated 4 ruling planets, later he suggested the inclusion of the 5th RP, which is the strongest in
power, as the Ascendant Star Lord. Thus, ruling planet usually means, in descending order of power:

            Ascendant Star Lord

            Ascendant Sign Lord

            Moon Star Lord

            Moon Sign Lord, and the

            Day lord

For pin pointing the time of events that are expected to happen within the next 24 hours, we need to see when a proper lagna sign,
star and sub comes that contains in it the ruling planets that we received at the time of judgment. In other words, if one is expecting
something to happen within the next 24 hours our focus should be to trace the ascendant that will comprise of sign lord, a star lord
and a sub lord who were found in the list of RPs during judgment. This is because within 24 hours lagan moves over all the 12 signs,
27 star and 249 subs.

Let me take the first example. On 24th February 2007, I came to know in my office that I will have to meet my Associate Dean on
Monday 26th February 2007 for an important issue. My AD gave me a time of 9:30 am in the morning on Monday. Later on 25th, a
Sunday, I thought why not I find out the exact time when the meeting will actually happen tomorrow? So, after my dinner that
evening, I sat for finding out the time of meeting my AD the next day. The RP on 25-2-2007 at 9:50 pm in Hyderabad, Somajiguda was
as follows:

            Ascendant Star Lord: Mars

            Ascendant Sign Lord: Venus

            Moon Star Lord: Mars

            Moon Sign Lord: Venus

                        Day Lord: Sun

Out of these 5 RPs I rejected Venus since it was in the star of retrograde Saturn. So, I was left with only Mars and Sun. Mars Sign
Mesha started from 9:15 am the next day whereas Sun’s sign Leo started from 5:20 pm the same day. My office gets over at 5:00 pm,
so I was sure that Sun’s sign will not be the time. Moreover, Leo does not have a Martian constellation. As a result, I had no
alternative but to choose Mesha lagna as the sign when the time to meet will come. Next, in Mesha sign I looked for Sun’s star. I saw
that Mesha sign and Sun star will operate from 10:45 am to 11:40 am. Therefore, to finally pinpoint the exact time, I chose Mesha
sign, Sun star and Mars sub (because Mars appeared twice and was the only ruling planet) which started from 10:50 am. The next
day when I was waiting outside my AD’s cabin, I was called inside for the meeting precise at 10 50 am on 26th February 2007.

Many such incidences can be cited. However, upon close scrutiny it can be found that a few fundamental rules must be followed
while using RPs for making predictions for events that are expected to happen within 24 hours. Some of the rules that hold good are
as follows:

1. The lagna point must contain the ruling planets only.

2. The lagna sign star and sub lords should be chosen according to ‘first come first serve’ basis depending upon the hierarchy in
which they appear in the RP list during the time of judgment.
3. A ruling planet is strong by virtue of its level of appearance and not how many times it has appeared.
4. However, when a ruling planet repeats itself, the lagna point must also contain the same repetition

I hope this article will help the readers of to use RPs more fruitfully.

The Ruling Planets (RPs) are the following:

1)      Lagna Star Lord

2)      Lagna Sign Lord

3)      Moon Star Lord

4)      Moon Sign Lord

5)      Day Lord

Of these, Lagna Star lord is the most powerful and Day Lord the weakest. It is not customary according to KSK tradition to take the
Lagna Sub lord and the Moon Sub Lord in the above list of RPs.

In earlier articles of late KSK, the “Day” was considered from Sunrise to Sunrise. Later however, many of his students went for the
international system of day changing in the midnight.

We should also include those planets that are conjoined with the above RPs within an orb of 5 degrees. Whenever a planet is in rapt
conjunction with RPs that planet also becomes an important result giving planets.

If any planet is aspected by the RPs then that planet is to be included in the RPs. Also include the Nodes Rahu and Ketu occupying the
signs of the RPs. Remember that the Nodes will get “added” in the RP list and not replace the Sign Lord

If an RP is in the star or sub of a retrograde planet, it is a general practice to discard it. But this has to be done after considering many
other factors. If the RP is retrograde, but in the star and sub of planets in direct motion, then that RP can be taken. However, the RP

will not give its results until it becomes direct in the transit.

When a RP is aspected by or conjoined with Saturn, then in all majority of cases it fails to give results of the houses for which it is
used.

However strong a RP is, it cannot fructify the desired result if it is conjoined with or aspected by Saturn. So is the case of Punarphoo
Dosha caused when Moon is in a sign, star and sub of Saturn. Then Moon in the capacity of a RP cannot be useful.

An RP posited in the star or sub of another RP is powerful. An RP in its own sub is very powerful.

Although Sun’s position is not included as an RP, observes that if the sign lord and star lord of Sun are common among the already
selected RPs, then Sun’s star lord and sign lord become strongest to offer results according to their disposition.

If an RP is in the sub of such a planet who is detrimental to the house to be judged for a particular matter by being the significator of
houses 8 and 12 to the house to be judged, then this is not a fruitful RP.

Rules Regarding Nodes and RPs:

If a node is conjoined with an RP, then the node is an agent for that RP
If a node is aspected by an RP, then the node is an agent for that RP
If a node is in the sign owned by an RP, then the node is an agent for that RP
If a node is in the star of an RP, then the node is an agent for that RP

But if the node is deposited in the sub of a retrograde planet, then the node carries no strength.

When a node directly appears as an RP, then include the following planets as RPs:

Planets conjoined with the node

Planets aspected by the node
Lord of the sign where the node is located

For “aspect” calculation, it is recommended to use Hindu aspects that is Rashi to Rashi

If the occupant or the owner of 11th house or Lagna Sub Lord RP is a fast moving planet the event will take place early and if it is a
slow moving planet, the event will take a long time to fructify. Fast moving planets: Moon, Venus, Mercury, Sun. and Mars. Slow
moving planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu.
