KP Basics in 15 Minutes !

1) Solar Mansions/Rasi: There are 12 signs in the zodiac and each of around 30 degrees.
2) Lunar Mansions/ Nakshatras/ Constellations: They are 27 stars of 13 Degrees 20
Minutes each. They are divided into 4 Equal Padas/Quarters of 3Degrees 20 Minutes each.
3) Lunar Mansions are governed by the 9 planets.
4) Each planet rules over 3 Zones/Star/Constellation at an interval of 120 Degrees.
5) These Zones/Star/Constellation modify the results of planets transiting the zodiac.
6) Ascendant and Cusp of houses move faster than the Planets, and this explains rapid
changes such as happiness followed by immense sudden grief.
7) Ascendant takes the following time:
- Around 2 HoursIn Zodiac Sign
- Around 50 58 MinutesIn Constellation
- 5-6 Minutes (Hint: Can be used in birth time rectification)In Sub-Lords
Order of Sub Lord is As follows: (Always starts with Ruler of Constellation)
- Sun
- Moon
- Mars
- Rahu
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Mercury
- Ketu
- Venus
9) Each planet owns 3 Stars. Remember them and in which Houses are they positioned. For
that, please look at the colourful table I made.

10) Main theory of KP. You judge planets according to the following rules:

- Sign the planet X occupies shows the planets strength/position.

- See the planet X is in which Star/Constellation.
- Note the houses owned by the Lord of the Star/Constellation.
- Note the house occupied by the Lord of the Star/Constellation.
- Planet X will therefore show matters signified by Houses owned/occupied by Lord of Star
of Constellation.
- Further find out the Sub-Lord where Planet X is positioned.
- Sub-Lord will show if things will be failure/loss/difficulty, or success/gain/happiness as
related to nature of matter signified by Lord of the Star/Constellation.
- Planet X if is in Enemy Sub: will show failure, loss, difficulty
- Planet X if is in Friend Sub: will show success, gain, happiness
- When will things happen? In the Conjoined period of Planet + Lord of Star/Constellation
+ Sub Lord

11) Very Important:

- Learn what each Star/ Constellation mean.
- To each rasi, which Star/Constellation are benefic /disadvantageous.

12) Planet X will predominantly show matters signified by the House OCCUPIED by
LORD OF STAR/CONSTELLATION.
Example:
Aquarius Lagna. Sun occupies 3rd House, owns 7th House.
Therefore Planet X in Sun constellation will predominantely show results of 3rd house, but
7th house will be enjoyed too.
Example :
Capricorn Lagna. Mars Occupies 6th house, but owns 4th and 11th House.
Therefore Planet X in Mars constellation will predominantely show results of 6th house,
but 4th and 11th house results will be enjoyed.

13) Planet X and Planet Y are in the same Star/Constellation:

- Constellation signifies Marriage.
- X is in enemy sub
- Y is in friend sub
- Therefore planet X period .. Failure, difficulty, loss, separation related to Marriage
- Therefore planet Y period .. Success, happiness, gain, union related to Marriage

14) Rahu and Ketu in KP:

- Planet X in Star/Constellation of Rahu or Ketu will show matter signified by Houses

OCCUPIED BY THEM.
- How to judge results of planets in this case? Look at
1- Planets conjoined with Rahu/Ketu
2- Planets aspecting Rahu/Ketu
3- Lord of Constellation its where Rahu/Ketu is found
4- Result of Sign
- REMEMBER: Unlike other planets, Rahu/Ketu give results to a much greater extent that
that of the lord of the constellation.
Example:
Aquarius Lagna. Saturn owns 1st and 12th house.
Rahu is found in Saturn Star/Constellation.
Therefore , Rahu will produce results of Saturn/ 1st and 12th House.
One has to imagine that Rahu itself is in 1st/ 12th house and as if Saturn itself is in its
Constellation.

15) If Lagna is occupied by Planet X and Owned by Planet Y. Then any planet in the
Star/Constellation of Planet Y (the owner of the lagna) primarily, and secondly any planet
in Star/Constellation of Planet X will signify matter of LAGNA.

16) If Lagna is EMPTY.

- Check Lord of Lagna.
- Check which planet is in Star/Constellation of Lord of Lagna.
- This planet will indicate matters of Lagna.
IF NO PLANET IS FOUND IN LAGNA LORD STAR/CONSTELLATION.
Lord of lagna gives Bhava results.THEN
Example:
Leo Lagna. Therefore Sun is Lagna Lord. Lagna is EMPTY. Also, No planets in Sun
STARS/Constellations.
Sun is in Moons Star.
Moon is in 9th house, and owns 12th house.
Therefore Sun will generally signify matters by 9th and 12th house.

17) How to judge whether a planet is Benefic/Malefic?

Hindu Traditional system :

Benefics: Jupiter, Venus, Unafflicted Mercury, Waxing Moon
Malefics: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu
Western System:
Benefics: SUN, Jupiter, Venus, Unafflicted Mercury, Waxing Moon
Malefics: Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus
Importance is given to Aspects to planets.
For Example Planet X is natural Malefic + it occupies evil houses, but it has aspect by
benefic; therefore it is benefic.
KP SYSTEM:
- No Planet can be 100% Benefic or 100% Malefic.
- Planet X may be benefic to the person, but it may be malefic to live/prosperity of his/her
spouse.
- Follow principle: Food for one man is poison to the other.
- Therefore, Key here is :

18) Planet X is benefic by Lordship. Then it offers these benefic results through Planets
occupying its own constellation is SUB is also BENEFIC.
Example:
Scorpio Lagna. Jupiter owns 2nd and 5th House.
Matter to be seen : CHILDREN.
You go and check which planet is in Jupiters STAR/CONSTELLATION.
If SUB owns 11th house: Birth of Child in SUB PERIOD.
If SUB owns 12th house : No child in the SUB PERIOD.

CONCLUSION :
1) Constellation indicated matters signified by houses it OCCUPIES + OWNS
2) SUB Lord shows SUCCESS / FAILURE of the MATTER shown by Constellation.
3) SUB Lord is deciding Factor.
4) You shouldnt note separately what each Planet signifies and then in which Sub each
planet is positioned. Everything should be studied together.
5) REMEMBER : Main idea behind KP : is concentrate on LUNAR
MANSIONS/Nakshatras!

PS. These are my own typed notes

UPDATE
According to KP:

And I made them just to help you guys with the table

1) Occupant of a constellation is STRONGER than lord of constellation.

2) Constellation is STRONGER than the sign.
3) Occupant of a sign is STRONGER than the lord of the sign.
4) Planets conjoined/aspected by a planet GAINS strength to offer those results which those
planets signify.

Here is a free copy of an old version of a KP book.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/24500319/krishnamurti-Padhdhati
Always remember: KP = ACCURACY

Introduction:
To study KP. You should buy Book Reader 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Book 1 talks about How to construct a birth chart. Mathematics/ Geoastronomy / Kundli Ganit
Book 2 explains 12th Houses, 12th signs, the 12 planets
Book 3 Explains nakshatras and introduces to KP System
Book 4 MARRIAGE
Book 5 Transits Gochara
Book 6 Prasna Kundli
If you understand what I wrote here, then you have covered basic KP theory from Book 1, 2 and half of
3.
Book 1 is not necessary if you mainly will use software to calculate. Book 2 is important as you need to
know what 12th houses/signs/planets mean and signify.
You also must know what Each Nakashatra mean, signify, its lors and sub lords.
The following is a summary of KP theory Section from Page 1 to Page 150 in Reader 3 . The rest of Book
3 is application of the rules i summarized. So if you study them carefully, you have almost done the
entire book!
This is the book. I bought it from Giri/Matunga in Mumbai for 350 RS.

The occupant of a house need not always be stronger than the owner.
The owner is strong when -

a) occupant is in enemy's sign or neecha

b) lord of the sign is exalted
c) lord of the sign is conjoined with a planet in it's own sign
If owner is strong, the ranking of significator will vary as below. Most of the KP astrologers are not
following this important KP rule.
1)Planets in the star and sub of Bhava lord
2)Bhava lord
3)Planets in the star and sub of planets in the Bhava

4)Planets in the Bhava

5) Planets aspected by the above significators (at 120 degree) and planets conjoined with above
significators (within 3 degree)

Point 4 clearly states that:
4) Each planet rules over 3 Zones/Star/Constellation at an interval of 120 Degrees.
That means Each planet will own 1 Nakshatra at an interval of 120 Degrees. So for example Ketu owns
first Nakshatra, therefore next Nakshatra owned by Ketu is 120 Degrees away from the first one .
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ASPECTS!
aray bapre , what u mixed up
Answer to 3: I dont know what u r trying to say. But, look at my conclusion:
CONCLUSION :
1) Constellation LORD indicates matters signified by houses it OCCUPIES + OWNS
2) SUB Lord shows SUCCESS / FAILURE of the MATTER shown by Constellation.
3) SUB Lord is deciding Factor.
4) You shouldnt note separately what each Planet signifies and then in which Sub each planet is
positioned. Everything should be studied together.
5) REMEMBER : Main idea behind KP : is concentrate on LUNAR MANSIONS/Nakshatras!
CUSP is the first actual degree found at birth.

Example:
X is born at 8 Degrees 23 Gemini
Therefore his Lagna starts from 8 Degrees 23 Gemini and not 0 Degrees Gemini
