Lesson 1

Chapter: 1
HOROSCOPE
An astrologer approached by a native with a query, has to obtain basic information about the
date of birth of the native in question with exact Hour, Minute and place of birth for casting
the birth or natal chart of the client.
Then he can cast the horoscope after getting the exact longitude and latitude for the place of
birth. It is not necessary that one should cast in front of querent only. It is advisable the
astrologer sits for judgment at a time when he gets urge for it. Now days one need not cast a
horoscope manually, there are many soft wares to do the job. However, astrologer must
know the basic and should have an fair idea on calculations of planets and houses. ASTRO
3.3 software provides accurate charting leaving the astrologer to focus on predictions part.

The chart F.1 is a model horoscope we will discuss.

The blocks no 1-12 are called 1st house 12th house or Rasi./Sign 1st house is termed as

Ascendant or Lagna. It is the most important house through which one can determine many
aspects of a person whos chart is under consideration. One explanation given for plotting 12
portion is due to the fact that earth circular route of 360 degrees is covered by sun in one
year app.. And sun/moon conjoin twelve times before the sun completes one revolution.
Hence, each division or Sign or Rasi of apportioned 30 degree is named in the following
order. as shown in the fig1 ie, Aries Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. First sign always commences from Aries at 0
degree and it ends in Pisces sign at 360 degrees .. Where as Each house begin from that
point of the zodiac that just rises in the East at the required time. Each house is different in
longitude, but 12 houses total to 360 deg only. First house is called Lagna or Ascendant, next
house is 2nd and the next 3de so on. Houses change depending up on lagna position in each
chart.. For example lagna here is in Aries but it may be in any sign for other birth charts. Say
if lagna is in Cancer 2nd house will be Leo 3rd Virgo Names assigned to Sign will be
constant irrespective of lagna position in the chart.
Each Rasi/Sign ie., Aries to Pisces carry with them certain assigned characters, nature etc.
like movable, fiery ,masculine odd etc., which are detailed in reference text books-[kp books
on astrology. This will be required when analyzing the chart. At appropriate place it will be
discussed in later chapters.
Next to Rasi we are to note Planets. Astrologically 7 planets are recognized as Sun, Moon,
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and shadow planets Rahu and Ketu. Neptune and
Pluto are not taken into account for judgment as of now.

1.Aries and Scorpio Rasi Lord Mars 2. Taurus and Libra Rasi Lord Venus
3.Gemeny and Virgo Rasi Lord
4.Cancer Rasi Lord
Moon
Mercury
5. Leo Rasi Lord Sun
6 Sagittarius Pisces..Rasi Lord Jupiter
7.Capricorn - Aquarius Rasi Lord
Saturn
The houses referred to above Aries .Pisces governed by different Planets.
Rahu and ketu are not lords of any house This allocation of lordship s are permanent.
Next to planets it is be noted that there are 27 stars.
These stars are accommodated in the 12 signs as shown below. In F.3 Each star range is
13d and 20 min so in each rasi of 30deg has 2 and quarter stars only. Each quarter is
3d.20m.

In the arc of 1-120 D ie, from Aries to Cancer. First set of 9 stars [Aswini to aslesha] are
deposited in 4 signs, with different Star Lords and in some cases same Rasi lord. This is
repeated in the 2nd arc from 120-240 D from Leo to Scorpio and 3dr arc from 240-360D

From Sagittarius to Pisces..

In order to understand it more clearly let us take Venus.
Bharani star is deposited in Aries rasi with Mars as Rasi Lord in the range of 13.20-26.40. its
next star Pubba is in the 2nd arc in leo with 113.20 to 146.40 range Rasi lord is SUN, the
third star of Venus P.shadha is in the 3rd arc of Sagittarius in the range of 253.20 266.40
with Jupiter as Star Lord . Thus it will be seen that venus has its 3stars in different rasis.
Other point is that the difference in range between one venus star and anothers is 120d.
The planets arranged in the chart are as per the sequential order of DASA.

Rasi or Sign different from Bhava or Cusp

Rasi or Sign is the division of the chart of equal longitude of 30deg. However when the birth
chart is drawn manually or computer generated for a specific time and place , it is seen that
the division or longitude of each division is not equal, the difference ranges from1deg 3-4deg
or otherwise. This depends on the place of birth under consideration.
This division[ of unequal measures] is called as house/bhava or cusp. The starting point of
bhava or cusp is naturally the exact deg.min.sec noted by the astrologer in a rasi or sign. It
extends upto starting point of immediate next bhava or cusp. Generally a bhava beginning is
in one rasi/sign and end in next rasi/sign. But this is not always the case.. Many a time it is
noticed that a bhava starts in one rasi, and also ends in the same rasi. The next bhava also
starts in same rasi. In such cases two rasis/sign remain not representing any bhavas. Following
charts illustrate the difference.

In the first chart F A 1st bhava start from 25 D 22 in Aries to 23 D 19 in Taurus .

2 bhava start from 23 D 19 to 19 D 19 in Gemini and so on. Thus it will be seen that when we
take bhava position ie., lagna or 1st and 2nd or 3rd the Cuspal longitudes are not the equal
with two signs are involved in bhava.
In second chart it is different Here the 2 bhavas or cusps are placed in same rasi. The 3 and
4th cusp are in Gemini and similarly, 9&10 cusps are in Sagittarius. Cancer Aquarius rasis are
empty. This scenario quiet often appears in various charts., such a position is called Cuspal
Displacement, which will be discussed ata much later stage of our lessons. For the time being
it is enough one understand that cusp/bhavas can be in on12 signs or in reduced signs and with
unequal/equal longitudes The reason for preferring cusp/bhava/house to rasi /sign is due to the
fact that it is rrived on actual longitude of the place of birth. Rasi division of equal longitude
helps in understanding attributes of raises from Aries or Pisces.
What does each Bhava stands for:

with which they are conjoined. If they are not conjoint with any planet, then they give he
results of planet aspecting them. Only in a scenario when rahu/ketu are not conjoined or
aspected by any planet, they give the results of lord of the sign each occupying. Both are ver
stronger than other planets irrespective of conjoining or aspect from them.. Some of the
disease attributable to rahu are high fever, chronic diseases, eyes, respiratory problems, ,heart
disease giddiness,
List of attributes given for the planets are not exhaustive. For details reader is advised
to refer the K.P. books.
Aspect:
All Planets have 7th house aspect ,ie., from its position in the chart if it is at 180deg to
another house planet it can eb said that this planet influences that house or planet which it

aspects. besides 7th aspect Saturn aspects 3rd and 10th house from its position in th chat,
Jupiter 4h house and 9th house and Mars h and 8th house.
A aspect can be said to be a angular distance between two planets or between a planet ad cusp
Some astrologers consider or count from sign to sign. An aspect t can be good or bad
depending upon the nature of planet aspecting and inter relation between aspecting and
aspected planets.
For example Ig Sat is in Capricorn if a planet is in Pieces say Jupiter, Saturn is said to be
expecting Jupiter. Jupiter aspects , Mars in cancer by 5th aspect and Moon by 9th aspect. Mars
aspects Moon 4th....
Jupiter 10.00

Mars
9.00
Saturn 12.00

Moon

A planet strength gts modifie by the aspect of another planet or lanet. Planet aspcting a house
or cusp , the results of the bhava nature of the house gets modified by the nature of the planet
aspecting Aspect s are of different kindsi. Various deg. Main aspects generally considered are
Trine 120deg, Opposition 180 deg, Square 90 deg .Sextile 60 deg etc Trine aspect is
considered good especial jupiters[even 5th of Jupiter]. Or Opposition bad .but this is subject to
other factors...
Conjunction ;- Two planets in a house or sign ,the are said to be in conjunction. However the
longitude of both planets is to be taken into account,. Planets with a distance between them not
exceeding 12 deg only can e sad to be in conjunction not other wise. Conjunction is said to be
very powerful when two planets are in same longitude or within minimum deg resulting in rapt
conjunction.. The Orb is the permissible distance between two planes by which one planet can
assert its influence on another planet /house while approaching or separating.

When two planets are within the range of conjunction/ aspect, fast moving planets [ moon,
sun mer, mer] behind other slow moving planets [ rahu, Saturn ,ketu, Jupiter ] will move
towards the latter to complete the conjunction or aspect, unless later planet is retro gated. In
the coerce of travel Ii the same direction the swifter planet, if behind slow moving planet ,is
said to be applying to the later, and at a particular point both ae in exact conjunction .As son as
the conjunction or aspect is complete, the swifter planet will move away from it when it is said
to be separating from the conjunction/aspect as the case ma be..
Retrogation
It is a appearance caused by the combined motions of a planet and the earth and thei positions
elative to the sun. No planet retrogrades in its orbit but is ever is in forward motion. The so
called retrograde motion occurs due to difference in speed of the planet as seen from Earth as
he centre.
A planet appears to over take a planet, hen slow downs, there after it appears not to move [ a
status of stationary] and then appears to start moving backwards in the zodiac. As the position
of the planet I the zodiac is always referred to the background with full of ixed stars which
among themselves maintain the same relative position. If the longitude of the plant is going on
decreasing, then the planet is in retrograde motion.
Sun and Moon are never retrograde. Rahu and Ketu are always in retro motion.
Mercury reto for 24 days ,one da in stationar before and afer .
Venus -42 days retro , stationary for 2 days
Jupiter 10days retro, stationary for 5days
Retroaction status of a planet is indicated in charts or ephemeris as , R
The influence of retro status of a planet is debatable. Readers are requested to study KP
books
The effect of conjunction, aspect or even retro status on a horoscope will be very vital and
seen carefully.

Lesson 4
DASA BHUKTI ANTARA:
Astrologers generally adopt dasa system for judging the nature of events for the native or to

time events. Every individual has to pass through different periods of good and bad days. The
astrologer while analyzing the horoscope basically dependents on dasa/bhukti/antara periods
arrived from the birth chart [ or horary] This helps in knowing mot only past events of the
native. but also pin pointing future events Say in order to ascertain the best period or exact
period when a native will get job or get parried etc, the relevant favorable dasa bhukti antara
period are marked by the astrologer for prediction after studying the chart in detail.
Total life span of a native was fixed at 120 years. There is no clear clue why total dasa period
adopted as 120 years. Astrologers in the pastmight have taken the optimum longevity of a
native in those periods as basis. Even know a percentage of population cross century..
Each Star lord is allotted fixed no of Solar years. Total solar years ie 120 years is distributed
among 9 stars as under.
KETU7YEARS, VENUS20 YEARS,SUN---7 YEARS, MOON---10 YEARS
MARS---7 YEARS,RAHU---18 YEARS, JUPITER---16 YEARS SATURN19 YEARS,
MERCURY17 YEARS
The period may also be called as total DASA period of each planet.
Dasa of a native starts right from his birth. It is calculated based on Moon position at the time
of birth The exact longitude of Moon and the constellation in which it is deposited is noted
along with the star lord or Constellation lord.
For example
In a native chart Moon is posted in Taurus sign @17.d 34min. we can say it is in moon star

Each star longitude is 13d.20m or 800 minutes. Here moon has traversed 454 minutes and
balance moon dasa will be 346 minutes in the star Rohini If one has to calculate balance das

If we use the above table for above example

For Moon dasa longitude 13.20 7.34 = 5-46 deg balance @ birth
5 x 0.9.0 y = 3y09m.00d
46 x 0.05 = 0y.06m.27d
-------------4y03m.27
After initial dasa at bitrth, next dasa will follow in a fixed order of dasa periods. So in this case
after moon it will be mars dasa ,next rahu ,Jupiter, sat, mer, ketu ,venu, and last sun dasa to
complete the chain or cycle of dasa periods.
Bhukti:
Dasa of each planet is sub divided into Bhukti and further into antara, sookshma.
These sub divisions are available in the astrology books.
Nemji garu we may consider giving the table of dasa bukti antara from software
However it can be also be arrived at by simple formulas Bhukti
Running Dasa period x dasa period of the required bhukti
The result will be in months represented by first two digits and the third digit should be
multiplied by 3 [3 is constant] to get days.
For example let us take venus dasa and various bhukti Venus dasa is of 20 years So venus
bhukthi will be 20 x 20 = 400. {40 months or 2years and 6 months. Third digit here is zero
so nil days } 2years 6 months.

Now to calculate antara
Formula is running dasa period x bhukti x antar dasa /40[40 constant]
Result will be in days
Ex for ven dasa,venus bhkthi,venus antara , 20x20x20 =8000/40 =200 days 0y.6m.20d
Sat dasa.venus bhukti and mars anttara
19x20x16 =2660 did by 40 = 66.5 days or 0y.2m.6d.12hours
Sookshma:
Now to calculate
Dasa x bhukti x antara x sookshma periods divided by 200 [200 constant ]
result will be in hours.
Ven x vn ven ven
20x20x20x20 /200 =1,60,000/200 =800 hurs or 1m3d

Lesson 5
SIGNIFICATION
The influence of a planet on a bhave or on other planet can be termed as SIGNIFICAION. All
the planets including rahu and ketu have their stars distributed in the 12 signs. The basic
characters attributable to a planet is based on the rasi it occupies. Further each star is divided
into 4 parts or called padas. Depending upon which pada of the star is in a rasi ,the results get
modified accordingly. For example sun star krithika 1st pada is governed by rasi lord Mars,
whereas 2--4 padas are governed by Venus as rasi lord [of Taurus].One has to study the
signification of star very carefully.
Each star signify various matters like native mental qualities, diseases, parts of the body, nature
of the person etc Take Pushyami star in Cancer Rasi. native of this star will be influenced by

Moon as rasi lord and Saturn as star lord , parts of body attributable are Ears, Throat , shoulder
blades, mental qualities say wordly wisdom , clear in thought etc If we take Aridra- rahu star in
Gemini rasi , mercury rasi lord, diseases can be septic throat, asthma ,ear trouble etc Thus we
can analyse various characters of Planets in whose rasi they are placed and in which constellation
they are deposited.
It is not just enough to read lordship of the rasi,, further division of a star is also required. In this
context .Sri.krishna murthy guruji has introduced a new concept of sub lord theory. A star is
divided into 9 unequal parts in direct proportion of star lord dasa period to total dasa period of
120 years. Aswini star in Aries (rasi lord Mars) in the longitude of 0 to13dg20min is divided
into 9 parts

to 11.26.40
to 13.20.00

It will be seen that star lord Ketu has its own sub lord as first and the next sub lords are
arranged in the same sequential order of dasa lords.
This sub division was necessitated especially for cases pertaining to twins birth charts .Latter it
was observed that dissecting the star this way yielded correct results than padas or navamsas
divisions .[navamsa division is also dividing star into 9 parts but in equal parts]and studying it
in a different way than sub-lord . As we are going to study charts in Sri krihnamurthy garu
padhathi, we will confine only to study Sub Lord Ssystem.
The actual procedure for arriving at significators are very simple, as per K/P system

From the chart above it will be seen that 1st bhava lord was Venus 4th Saturn 6th Jupiter etc., as
filled in column D planets in the constellation of owner of bhava like ven,sat,mer,moon,sun,mer
are filled in column C. Planets actually occupying bhavas ie mer-1,sun-2,ven-3,rah-5,sat/moon
6,jup/ketu-11 and mars in 12th are filled in column B. Finally planets in the constellation of
occupying are shown in column A. like sat in Mer Star hence it is sig of 1st bhava and at top
level. Similarly ven is own veus star hence it is sig of 3 bhava. Then the chart is complete and
ready for further analysis..
From the Rasi chart positioning of Bhavas and longitudes of Planet the above chart of
signification is castled. It may be seen that 12 bhavas have being grouped into 4 parts A,B,C and
D

the planets deposited in constellation of the occupants bhavas

the planets occupying a bhava
the planet in the constellation o lord of the bhava
the planet as owner of the bhava

Aspect to the bhava also can be noted in additional column E

The level of strength is strong in A, then B,then C and last D . D is the least strong of all four
groups.
Ones we cast the significators then we have to select the bhavas under consideration, the relevant
sub lord and finally the ruling planets.
Sub Lord
One can find sub division/sub sub of all Planets stars in the tables given below in chart S1 and
S2.
Chart S.1

Chart S.2

Sub Lord con..

Now we can consider reading from sub level also When studied only from bhava lord and star
lord we get combinations of results one has to consider .With sub division added to bhava and
star lord the probability of chances for prediction gets narrow down and to more accurate
results. This study at Sub Lord level is very helpful to study and differentiate attributes of two
planets in a cusp and in same constellation One can note for Rasi/Star 99combination it can
indicate many professions ,but it is at the sub level one can narrow down to very few. List of
various professions at Rasi/Srar/Sub level can be had from readers .For example in Libra Rasi a

planet is deposited @ 26.34.4, therefore it will be Venus bhava lord, star lord Jupiter, sub lord
Venus. With this combination, the native will do proper judgement, for his profession may be
assessment in Incme Tax Office, transport department, or air travel [ because of Jupiter at sub
lord level]Whereas if a planet is deposited @28.46.40 though bhava lord and star lord are same,
sub lord has changed from Venus to Sun . Then the nave will be dealing in chemicals, drugs,
pharmaceutical or salesman or hospitals or endowments etc
For fixing the exact attribute some times we may have to see sub-sub lord position also.
However we will limit to sub division level only.
The Lord of the constellation, show matters, it is the nature of result depending upon in
which constellation it is deposited and the house or houses it owns.Whether the results will
be positive negative, is shown by Sub lord.
A constellation in full will not give uniformly favourable or unfavourable results. It mainly
depends on which sub Lord is involved. The matter will materialise favourably only when the
planet/significator is posted in favourable sub lord otherwise it will give unfavourable results
during its Dasa/Bhukthi or Athara periods.
Another important point to note for reading a horoscope is to note what is benefic or malefic
planet. Krishnamurthy garu said that we may have to decide the planet signification depending
up on what matter we are considering. For example a planet as 2nd lord will give money during
its period subject to other factors. The same 2nd lord is also may cause death to wife and also
maraca lord for the native. 6th significators may give salaried job but it may also be responsible
for separation from spouse.
General principle is that when we are considering any matter, from that bhava, any planet
deposited in 6th 8th or 12th from it can be treated as malefic. So it is not the plants as such but
the position in relation to the bhava under consideration that matters.
The inter relation of sub lord with reference to bhavas has to be seen in totality. The sub lord as
planet is very important.
For example for marriage one has to consider 7th sub lord which should be signiicator of 2nd or
7th or 11t house/bhava. So a Sub lord for a house gives results depending on its signification of
houses it has.
Thee acual role of Rasi/Star/Sun lords its signification of bhavas will be explained in the chart in
subsequent lessonss
Once the significators are selected after proper Sub Lord connection for the event ,next step is to
match with Ruling Planets
Lagna: Rasi Lord / Star Lord and Sub lord
Moon: Rasi Lord / Star Lord and Sub lord
Day:
Lord.

The relevant sigificators should match with Ruling planet ,other significators may be ignored at
first instance. Then the relevant Dasa/Bukth/Anthara be selected for event to materialise. Actual
mutual star representation of significators in transit of D/B/A and zeroing on sun and moon sun
transit and \\lagna transit in stars of D/B/A/ is required for final timing of event. This will be
explained when Bhava wise charts are take up discussions
