Significators in Krishnamurtipaddhati - How to

select them?

Significators and Sub Lords are the two most concepts inKrishnamurtipaddhati, so much so, that without Significators andSub Lords there is no K.P.Astrology. Be it the simplest prediction orthe most complex one, the affairs or matters signified by anybhaava are judged by the significators of that bhaava. So what arethese significators and how do we select them? This is the centraltheme of this article.

Principally for any bhaava, there are 4 principal significators whichare computed as follows:

a) Planets occupying the stars of the occupantsOf a bhaava are the most important and strongest significatorsof a bhaava. This is because every planet gives the results of the house occupied by its star lord. Hence occupants of aconstellation are more powerful than the owner.

 b) The occupants of the Bhaava These planets come next in the order of significators. If anyplanet occupying a bhaava has no planets deposited in itsstars, then the occupant itself becomes a strong significator of that bhaava. Also, if any planet occupies its own star, then it isits own star lord and hence becomes powerful to offer theresults of the bhaava it occupies.

c) The Planets occupying the stars of the bhaava owner  These come next. If a bhaava has no occupants, i.e., thebhaava is empty, then the planets occupying the stars of thebhaava lord become powerful significators of that bhaava.

d) The Bhaava lord  Is the least powerful significator of a bhaava. However, itshould be noted that, if a bhaava is empty and there are noplanets in the stars of the bhaava lord, or, if such a bhaavalord happens to be in his own star, then the bhaava lordbecomes a powerful significator of the bhaava in question.

The four levels of significators listed above are the "ClassicalSignificators" in K.P. Astrology. Apart from these, Guruji has alsoadvised us to consider some other planets also as the significators

 

of the bhaava; these however, are less powerful (lesser than thebhaava lord also). These are:

a) Planets conjoining any of the significators found by therules given above

b) Planets aspecting or aspected by any of the significatorsfound above

c) Planets aspecting the bhaava in question

Thus we can find 5 levels of significators for any given bhaava. Jyotishya Deepika makes it easy for you by giving all thesesignificators in a clear and comprehensible manner. These are alsocalled as Type A (Planets in star/s of occupants), Type B(Occupants), Type C (Planets in the star/s of owner), Type D (Owner)and Type E (Planets in conjunction or aspect with either A, B, C or D)significators.
