SIGNIFICATORS IN KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI – HOW TO SELECT THEM?

Significators and Sub Lords are the two most valued concepts in Krishnamurti Padhdhati, so much so that without Significators and Sub Lords there is no K.P. Astrology. Be it the simplest prediction or the most complex one, the affairs or matters signified by any bhava are judged by the significators of that bhava. So, what are these significators and how do we select them? This is the central theme of this section.

      Principally for any bhava, there are 4 principal significators which are computed as follows:

A) PLANETS OCCUPYING THE STARS OF THE OCCUPANTS

Of a bhava are the most important and strongest significators of a bhava. This is because every planet gives the results of the house occupied by its star lord. Hence occupants of a constellation are more powerful than the owner.

B) THE OCCUPANTS OF THE BHAVA

These planets come next in the order of significators. If any planet occupying a bhava has no planets deposited in its stars, then the occupant itself becomes a strong significator of that bhava. Also, if any planet occupies its own star, then it is its own star lord and hence becomes powerful to offer the results of the bhava it occupies.

C) THE PLANETS OCCUPYING THE STARS OF THE BHAVA OWNER

These come next. If a bhava has no occupants, i.e., the bhava is empty, then the planets occupying the stars of the bhava lord become powerful significators of that bhava.

D) THE BHAVA LORD

Is the least powerful significator of a bhava. However, it should be noted that, if a bhava is empty and there are no planets in the stars of the bhava lord, or, if such a bhava lord happens to be in his own star, then the bhava lord becomes a powerful significator of the bhava in question.

      The four levels of significators listed above are the "Classical Significators" in K.P. Astrology. Apart from these, Guruji has also advised us to consider some other planets also as the significators of the bhava; these however, are less powerful (lesser than the bhava lord also). These are:

a. Planets conjoining any of the significators found by the rules given above

b. Planets aspecting or aspected by any of the significators found above

c. Planets aspecting the bhava in question

Thus, we can find 5 levels of significators for any given bhava. Authentic KP Astrology software makes it easy for you by giving all these significators in a clear and comprehensible manner. These are also called 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.
