Mostly, all KP Astrologers use the 4-fold table, but in my experience, it is very useful to use
the 6-fold table. During my entry in to KP, I only read books authored by Chandrakant
Bhatt that were published in the Gujarati language. He used the 4-fold table in his
examples. But when I saw his explanation about dasa joint period or cuspal sub lord, he
used the 'Planet A is in the star of B and sub of C formula'. It is nothing but the 6-fold
table. If we want to use the 4-fold table, we have to use the formula 'A is in the star of B'.

During discussion about then 4-fold or 6-fold table, most advocate the use of the 4-fold
table, but I teach the 6-fold table to all my students. Only one person has drawn attention
of KP followers to the 6-fold table, and he is Mr. Dhanabalan Rangasamy.

Why do I advocate the use of the 6-fold table? I have checked all the readers and other
literature in KP, and have tried to check what is actually being used in KP literature.

In KPEzine, September 2015 issue, under QA section, Shri Tin Win ji replied as under:

Question: Six Fold Signification

Don't you think your below statement is rwthing but sixfo'kl. signffJCation?

The bottom line is ''In order tD get the better prediction results all the lwuses signff'led by the
planet level, star level and sub level are tD be jointly considered, keeping in mind the double
role of sub as a decider as well as an event indicator".

Answer:
According to the KP fundamental rule: "The planet is the source, constellation indicates
nature of the result and the sub is a deciding factor whether the matter is favorable or not.",
when the required house(s) for a matter under study, e.g. house 2,7,11 for marriage, are
indicated by the planet or/ and its star, the indication of its sub is to be considered as
favorable decider ifit is 2,7,11, or unfavorable decider ifit is 1,6,10, in selection of fruitful
significators. If the required house(s), 2,7,11, are not indicated by the planet and its star,
the indication of required house(s), 2,7,11, by sub is to be taken as an event indicator.

In the six-fold signification, as sub is taken as the outright significator it cannot play the
role of decider as mentioned in the KP fundamental rule, and consequently sub cannot be
used as a tool in selection of fruitful significators without using the ruling planets. So the
six-fold signification is excluded in the six KP readers of 1970-71 although it appears in a
few places of "Krishnamurti Padhdhati Vol. 2" of Sagar Publications in 1966.

Now if "In the six-fold signification, as sub is taken as the outright significator it cannot
play the role of decider as mentioned in the KP fundamental rule, and consequently sub
cannot be used as a tool in selection of fruitful significators without using the ruling
planets"

If this statement is right, then how do we get an answer in example mentioned below taken
from KP literature.

vorable or not" then, as a star lord, Moon does not indicate houses 2-6-10 at all. It is
only at the sub level (Moon is in the sub of Sun) that it indicates house 6.
