Attemped Lagna Determination by Ruling Planets Method

[Guest guest]

Hello. During a seminar at work I had a strong desire to determine

the Lagna of a longtime colleague of mine, who sometimes displayed

Gemini Lagna type behavior. I noted the time, and I later determined

the KP chart for this time. The lagna was located in Gemini, and the

Moon in Scorpio. The ruling planets (RP) are included in the following

list (along with subs):

 

Lagna Sign Lord: Mercury®

Lagna Star Lord: Jupiter

Lagna Sub lord: Venus

Moon Sign Lord: Mars

Moon Star Lord: Mercury®

Moon Sub Lord: Mercury®

Day Lord: Venus

 

This seems to indicate that the lagna could indeed be Gemini; however,

since the RP Mercury is retrograde here, should it be disqualified

from consideration?

 

As a beginning student of KP, I would appreciate some help from

members of the group to better understand this attempted Lagna

determination exercise, which I undertook as an earnest RP learning

activity.

 

Thanks,

GA
