Four Step Theory

THIS sets down the essential rules given by Mr. Sunil Gondhalekar in his Lessons, written in the K.P.Style. The Basi !rini!le o" KP is that # Planet gives the results
indiated by its Star Lord and Sub Lord.
TH$ %&'( ST$PS T& )$T$(MI*$ H&'S$S SIG*I%I$) B+ #*+ PL#*$T #($,
-. The Planet itsel" .House residene, Houses &wned/
0. The Star Lord o" the Planet, .Sa1e house resident, houses owned/
2. The S'B L&() o" the Planet,
3. The Star Lord o" this sub lord,
%or !redition, we have to onsider that all houses, are signi"ied by the Planet, so1e Pri1arily, and so1e Seondarily
First Step
TH$ -ST ST$P in the 3 ste! Theory is, # Planet beo1es the Signi"iator o" the H&'S$ where it resides, and o" the House4Houses It &5*S
This rule is 1odi"ied de!ending on wether there are other !lanets in the ST#(S o" this Planet, and wether the Houses owned are $1!ty or have so1e other !lanets in
the1. .Hers,*e!tune,Pluto,%or are not onsidered "or this onditions.

o" the House where it (esides. &therwise, it beo1es a seondary Signi"iator o" the House where it resides.
I" a PL#*$T Is Pri1ary signi"iator o" (esidene, then it beo1es the Prini!al o" the houses owned &*L+ I% TH#T H&'S$ IS $MPT+, otherwise it is the seondary
signi"iator o" the house owned
I" the Planet is itsel" a S$6&*)#(+ signi"iator o" House o" ($SI)$*6$ then it will be also Seondary Signi"iator o" Houses owned $7$* IT $MPT+.
I% # PL#*$T IS I* ITS &5* ST#(, then it #uto1atially beo1es the Pri1ary signi"iatro o" the House o" residene .even i" there other !lanets in its stars/. It
beo1es !rii!al signi"iator o" houses it owns, i" e1!ty
Second Step

In this ste!, the ST#( L&() auto1atially Beo1es the Prini!al Signi"iator o" the House o" (esidene, and &" the Houses owned, i" $1!ty.

Third Step
THI() ST$P, The sub Lord o" the Planet,
The houses signi"ied are deter1ined as !er -st ste! only
Fourth Step
%ourth ste!, The Star Lord o" Sub Lord
The houses are "ound a!!lyin the sa1e rules as Seond Ste!
#nother !oint is to onsider Signi"ators by on8untion.2.22 deg/ between !lanets, as also signi"ed by the !lanet onsidered. The on8oined !lanet ats as an agent o" the
!lanet to whih it is on8oined.
Practical Application
Child birth: When?
(ule, The 9th .as :urrent is lady/ Sub Lord 1ust be the Pri1ary signi"iator o" 0nd49th4or --th. &nly i" this is !ositive then we "i; the ti1e. 9th sub Lord is Merury, The

The 9th Sub Lord has beo1e the Prini!al Signi"iator o" 0nd in the "ourth ste!, TH$(%&($ we onlude that lady will have hildren,
To "i; ti1e, we 1ust now test the )asa,Bhukti,@ #ntara Lords. Moon )asa balane > 1onths,0< days. 5e annot onsider this as birth o" a hild is not !ossible in >4A

Sine Mars is Pri1ary Sig o" 0nd House, this an be seleted.
IMP&(T#*T, I* S$L$6TI*G TH$ )#S#4BH'KTI4#*T#(# , we M'ST see that all the Houses 0,9,-- are signi"ied ,
Sine we have seleted Mars )asa, whih signi"ies 0 !ri1arily, the Bhukti Lord 1ust !ri1arily signi"y 9 or -- ,#ntara should signi"y the re1aining
*ow in Mars )asa, we have to ignore Mars Bhukti, as only 0nd house is signi"ied,

Sine the --th is "ound in the !rii!al signi"iators, 5e S$L$6T TH#T #S BH'KTI,
*e;t is #ntara, The #ntara Lord has to be the PS o" the re1aining 9th house, 5hen looking thru other Planets, we get M&&* as Pri1arily signi"in"iator.
9th in the -st itsel". So we selet this.
The !eriod thus is 2494-=<A to 2-494-=<A. The birth took !lae in Cune <A.
The #yana1sa used was later orreted. This adds -2 days to the )asa endins et. So the ti1i1g is "airly orret.
