Significators in Krishnamurtipaddhati - How to

select them?
Significators and Sub Lords are the two most concepts in
Krishnamurtipaddhati, 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
bhaava are judged by the significators of that bhaava. So what are
these significators and how do we select them? This is the central
theme of this article.
Principally for any bhaava, there are 4 principal significators which
are computed as follows:
a) Planets occupying the stars of the occupants
Of a bhaava are the most important and strongest significators
of a bhaava. 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 Bhaava
These planets come next in the order of significators. If any
planet occupying a bhaava has no planets deposited in its
stars, then the occupant itself becomes a strong significator of
that bhaava. 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 bhaava it occupies.
c) The Planets occupying the stars of the bhaava owner
These come next. If a bhaava has no occupants, i.e., the
bhaava is empty, then the planets occupying the stars of the
bhaava lord become powerful significators of that bhaava.
d) The Bhaava lord
Is the least powerful significator of a bhaava. However, it
should be noted that, if a bhaava is empty and there are no
planets in the stars of the bhaava lord, or, if such a bhaava
lord happens to be in his own star, then the bhaava lord
becomes a powerful significator of the bhaava 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 bhaava; these however, are less powerful (lesser than the
bhaava 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 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 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.
