The Horoscope Explained

A horoscope (also called Chart or Kundali) is a map of heavens

seen at a particular time from a particular place. The KP horoscope is slightly

different from the traditional horoscope as it contains comparatively more

information. A KP horoscope typically contains position of 12 planets

(including Rahu, Ketu, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and 12 houses. There are

various ways in which a horoscope can be drawn. In India two most popular formats are 'North

Indian format' and 'South Indian format'. Here is a sample horoscope diagram

drawn for –

January 13, 2009

Time: 12: 00 Noon IST

Place: Agra, UP, India

 

 

This is a horoscope in South Indian format. The South Indian

chart is seen in clock-wise fashion. In the South Indian chart format, signs

are fixed and houses & planets keep moving. The second box from the top

left is fixed for Aries. This is the box where "I 001-23-55" is written

on the chart. From that box onwards, in the clockwise fashion we can read other

signs i.e. Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,

Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces respectively.

 

So keeping this chart in mind, we can say that 1st

house will starts from Aries (because 'I' is written in the box fixed for Aries)

1 degree, 23 minutes and 55 seconds. The second house starts from Taurus 3

degree 46 minutes 54 seconds. The starting position of 2nd house is

also ending position for 1st house.Third house starts from Taurus 29 degree 19 minutes 19

seconds. Fourth house starts from Gemini 23 degree 2 minute 49 seconds. As we

see Ketu in Cancer 16 degree 24 minute 10 seconds between 'IV' and 'V' number,

we can say that Ketu is in 4th house. Similarly, Saturn is between 'VI'

and 'VII', so we can say that Saturn is in 6th house and so on.

Similarly we can see position of all planets and houses from

this chart. To have a consistency across tutorial, we are planning to stick to

South Indian chart format.

Creating Horoscope (Casting the Chart)As discussed, to cast a KP chart, you need positions of 12 planets and 12 houses. There are two ways you can get these information -1. You can use some software, which require just date, time and place, or

2. You can calculate them manually with the help of certain tablesCalculating horoscope manually is a tedious process. We will cover manual calculation in later chapters (chapter 3). Till such time, you can use free software on www.MyKundali.com for casting a chart.

PlanetsAs mentioned above, totally 12 planets are used in KP namely Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. As Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are comparatively recent discovery, usage of these planets is not as extensive as other 9 planets. Not all KP astrologers use all 12 planets, hence the usage of Uranus, Naptune, and Pluto is up to the choice of a KP astrologer. In this tutorial, our emphasis will also be initial 9 planets only. Please note that Rahu and Ketu are not the planets in terms of modern astronomy, as they don't have any physical existence. They are mere mathematical points. Due to this reason, they are also sometimes called as shadow planets. I'll not go into the astronomical details of Rahu and Ketu because it is not the objective of this tutorial.

Each planet owns certain signs and stars (nakshatra) as follows -

Planet NameSign (Rasi) Owned by the Planet

Stars (Nakshatras) Owned by the Planets Sun

Leo Kritika, Uttaraphalguni, Uttarashadha Moon

Cancer Rohini, Hasta, Sravana Mars

Aries, Scorpio Mrigasira, Chitra, Dhanshita Mercury

Gemini, Virgo Aslesha, Jyehsta, Revati Jupiter

Sagittarius, Pisces Punarvasu, Visakha, Poorvabhadrapada Venus

Taurus, Libra Bharani, Poorvaphalguni, Poorvashadha Saturn

Capricorn, Aquarius Pushya, Anuradha, Uttarabhadrapada Rahu

Aridra, Swati, Satabisha Ketu

Aswini, Magha, Moola From the above table you can see that Rahu and Ketu have not been allotted any sign ownership. You may also note that each of the nine planets have been given ownership of 3 stars.

As Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were not part of the ancient Hindu astrology, they have not been given ownership of any sign or any star. As per Western astrologers, Uranus owns Capricorn, Neptune owns Pisces and Pluto owns Scorpio.

Cusps & HousesThere are 12 houses in astrology. Houses are also referred as Bhava or Ghar in Hindu astrology. The point at whichHouses

There are 12 houses in astrology. Houses are also referred as Bhava or Ghar in Hindu astrology. Every house in astrology has been assigned certain significations by the sages. For example, 1st house is for self, health, 2nd house for family, finance, 3rd house for brother, courage, 4th house is or mother, conveyance and so on.

In the astrology, if as house is good, you will get good results related to the house. For example, if the 1st house is good in your horoscope, your health will be good. On the contrary, if the first house is bad, the health will be affected and even one can have a short life. Different branches of astrology like Hindu astrology, Western astrology etc. have different rules for judging the house i.e. all branches use somewhat different rules to identify whether you will get good results or bad results pertaining to a house in your life. Similarly, KP System also had different rules and we will be finding out those rules in the following sections. Before that let us have a look at what is generally assigned to each house by our sages -

First HouseBirth, head, physical body, limb, physical features, livelihood

Second HouseWealth, food, right eye, what one eats or drinks, face, eye, speech, family, property

Third HouseCourage, firmness, bad thoughts, breast, ear, especially right ear, prowess, brother or sister - younger one, heroism, mental strength

Fourth houseHouse, home, land, relation, mother, vehicle, happiness, water, learning

Fifth HouseIntellect, children, son, belly, traditional law, virtuous act previously done

Sixth HouseDebt, wounds, disease, enemy, sin, a wicked act, fear, humiliation

Seventh HouseDesire, love, passion, cohabitation, partner, public, wife or husband, dowry

Eighth HouseLife, longevity, mental pain, defeat or insult, sorrow, scandal, ill-repute, death, impurity, obstacle, danger

Ninth HouseGuru or preceptor, father, auspicious, previous life , worship, penance, virtue, grandson, prayer, spiritual initiation, noble family, fortune

Tenth HouseLivelihood, kingdom, work, commerce, trade, business, rank or position, good conduct, honor, sacrifice, command, quality, wealth, occupation

Eleventh HouseProfit or gain, income, all kinds of receipts, acquisition, gain, desire, passion, fulfillment of one's desire, wealth or riches, brothers and sisters - elder one, friends

Twelfth HouseHouse of disappearance, bondage, loss, negation, bed, sin, poverty, penury, loss, decline, misery, left eye, leg, defect

CuspsThe point at which two houses meet is called a Cusp. In KP, starting point of a house is called the cusp of that house. Sometimes terms 'cusp' and 'house' are used interchangeably. For example, lord of the cusp and lord of the house is the same thing in KP.

SignsThe whole universe is divided into 12 equal part and each part is referred to as a sign. So there are 12 signs as follows -Aries,Taurus,

Gemini,Cancer,Leo,Virgo,Libra,Scorpio,Sagittarius,Capricorn,Aquarius,PiscesThere are various classification for the signs. These classifications are sometimes useful in predictions. Some of the important classifications are as follows -

Classification 1Fieary Signs: Aries, Leo, SagittariusEarthy Signs: Taurus, Virgo, CapricornAiry Sign: Gemini, Libra, AquariusWatery Sign: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Classification 2Moveable: Aries, Cancer, Libra, CapricornFixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, AquariusCommon: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, PiscesZodiac Division - Sign, Star and Sub

Zodiac is an imaginary belt encircling the heavens within which are all the planets. As we know

in mathematics a circle is of 360 degree. When this circle is divided

into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each, each part is called a sign. We have

already talked a little bit about signs. When this circle is divided in

27 seven equal parts of 13 degree 20 minutes, each part is called a star

or a Nakshatra. If we divide a star further into nine parts, this 9th

division of a star is called a 'Sub'. This 'Sub' is the real backbone

of KP System. We have already talked about the lord of a sign and the lord of the star

above. As lord (owner) of a sign is called 'Sign lord', similarly lord of a star is called 'Star lord' and the lord of a Sub is called 'Sub lord'. 'Sub lord' is calculated on the

basis of years allocated to each of the 9 planets in Vimshottari Dasa system. The year allocated to each planet in Vimshottari Dasa System is as follows -

PlanetYears Allocated

Ketu 7 Venus 20 Sun 6

Moon 10 Mars 7 Rahu

18 Jupiter 16 Saturn

19 Mercury 17 TOTAL

120You can notice the difference in the sequence of the planets noted above. This is the sequence used in Vimshottari Dasa. Ketu is listed first here because Ketu owns Ashwini star, the first star of the zodiac, followed by Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.

In each star, first sub lord is the planet who owns the star and then it is followed by the remaining eight planets in Vimshottari Dasa planet sequence. For example, If Ashwini is the star which is owned by Ketu, the first sub lord in Ashwini star will be Ketu, the second sub lord will be Venus, the third sub lord will be of Sun and so on.

If Bharani is the star which is owned by Venus, the first sub lord in Bharani star will be Venus, the second sub lord will of Sun, the third sub lord will be of Moon and so on. You can notice that there is no name given to a sub like we have given the names for signs and stars. What we mostly bothered about is the lord of that sub i.e. sub lord.

The span of a sub lord can be calculated as follows -Span of a Sub Lord = (Years of Planet in Vimshottari Dasa/ 120) X 13 degree 20 minutesas 13 degree 20 minutes can also be written as 800 (13 X 60 + 20) minutes, for simplicity of calculation, we can say -

Span of a Sub Lord (in minutes) = (Years of Planet in Vimshottari Dasa/ 120) X 800

based on this we can calculate the span of each sub lord as follows -Span of a Sub Lord Ketu = (7 / 120) X 800 = 46.6666 = 0 degree 46 minutes 40 secondsSpan of a Sub Lord Venus = (20 / 120) X 800 = 133.3333 = 2 degree 13 minutes 20 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Sun = (6 / 120) X 800 = 40 = 0 degree 40 minutes 00 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Moon = (10 / 120) X 800 = 66.6666 = 1 degree 6 minutes 40 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Mars = (7 / 120) X 800 = 46.6666 = 0 degree 46 minutes 40 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Rahu = (18 / 120) X 800 = 120 = 2 degree 0 minutes 0 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Jupiter = (16 / 120) X 800 = 106.6666 = 1 degree 46 minutes 40 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Saturn = (19 / 120) X 800 = 126.6666 = 2 degree 6 minutes 40 seconds

Span of a Sub Lord Mercury = (17 / 120) X 800 = 113.3333 = 1 degree 53 minutes 20 seconds

Above can be summarized in a tabular format as follows -

Sub LordSub Span Ketu 0°46'40 " Venus

2°13'20 " Sun 0°40' Moon

1°6'40 " Mars 0°46'40 " Rahu

2°0'0 " Jupiter 1°46'40 " Saturn

2°6'40 " Mercury 1°53'20 " TOTAL

13°20'To free you from all this calculation hassle, a ready reckoner table of Sign, Star, and Sub can be found here.

Note: Highschool mathematics is involved in the calculation of Sub Lord. Don't worry, if you don't understand the calculation part because now-a-days we have software programs that can do the calculation for you. Also the sub lord calculation table mentioned above can be used for ready refereence.

House GroupingLike Sub, house grouping is another very important concept in KP System. For every important aspect of human life, one house has been given primary importance and few other houses have been given secondary importance. All these houses together are known as group of houses for an aspect. By the term 'aspect of human life', I mean health, family, profession etc. Let us take an example of marriage, for marriage house number 7th has been given primary importance. Why? Because 7th house is taken as the house for spouse – husband or wife. If you are coming from the Hindu astrology or Western astrology background, you will find it familiar. If you don't have any astrology background, you can refer house signification table under the heading 'House' above. House number 2 and 11 are said supportive house for marriage. In our traditional astrology, 2nd house is the house for family and 11th house is the house for friends and fulfillment of desire. So we can say that for marriage we have to judge house number 2, 7 and 11. This is house grouping for marriage. Similarly, we can group houses for other major aspects of our life. I am tabulating house grouping for some of the important aspects as follows -

Aspect

House Groups

Longevity 1, 8, 3

Cure of disease 1, 5, 11

Education 4, 9, 11

Marriage 2, 7, 11

Child birth 2, 5, 11

Foreign travel 3, 9, 12

Service 2, 6, 10

Gain of money 2, 6, 11

Generally 12th house from any house is considered detrimental to that house and hence negates the results of that house. For example, 2, 7 and 11 houses are the houses that give marriage. House 12th from these houses i.e. 1 (12th from 2), 6 (12th from 7) and 10 (12th from 11) will give opposite results i.e. divorce, and separation etc.

Dear Panit ji,

It's fine with minor observations:

1) to say how to see the example chart;

2) if desirable, some minor touchings in RED:

1. You can use some softwares, which require just date, time and place, or

4th house is for mother,

In the astrology, if a house is good,

Different systems (branches) of astrology like Hindu astrology,

i.e. all systems (branches) use somewhat different rules to identify

The whole universe is divided into 12 equal parts

The years allocated to each planet in Vimshottari Dasa System are as follows -

Dear Panit ji,

It's fine with minor observations:

1) to say how to see the example chart;

2) if desirable, some minor touchings in RED:

1. You can use some softwares, which require just date, time and place, or

4th house is for mother,

In the astrology, if a house is good,

Different systems (branches) of astrology like Hindu astrology,

i.e. all systems (branches) use somewhat different rules to identify

The whole universe is divided into 12 equal parts

The years allocated to each planet in Vimshottari Dasa System are as follows -
