Planets keep tossing ones Coin of Destiny;

Ones Destiny rules ones Mind; Ones Mind stimulates ones Actions;
Actions have effects good or bad;
A good effect is claimed to be the result of ones intelligence and efforts,
whereas, a bad effect takes the blame of being ones Fate;
Both are nothing but the two sides of the Coin.

MK RULE OF BTVR
(BIRTH TIME VERIFICATION AND RECTIFICATION)
In KP Astrology, even a small difference of less than one minute is likely to reflect a change in
the
Ascendants precise position at the Sublord level, which can mean a totally
different birth.
It is this factor of minute difference in the Birth Time, capable of changing the Ascendants
Sublord,
that has given scope for the need of a Verification and
Rectification Technique, and hence this article.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Question:
What is needed - Verification or Rectification
of Birth Time?
My Answer:
Verification first and then Rectification, if
need be.
Page 3

All these years, in Traditional Method of Vedic Astrology, Moon Sign (Birth
Rasi) has been predominantly handled more than the Birth Ascendant
(Lagna), which we are aware of.
Using the Moon Signs (Birth Rasis), in the natal horoscopes of Twins, whose
biological births occur within a few minutes of interval of, say, 5 to 15
minutes or 30 minutes, we are not able to understand the cause for the
difference in the life events of these two in question.
Evidently, the reason is that the Moon Signs, denoting the Moon positions in
a particular Constellation in the birth horoscopes of the twins (their Birth
Stars), show no difference of any sort, except in rare cases.
But, as per KP method of casting natal horoscopes, the Ascendant positions
of such twins
do reveal a clear difference at the Sub level division in a
Constellation (Star) within a Sign.
And, in contrast to the traditional
way, the Ascendant is exclusively handled to determine the destiny of the
natives.
So, as it is claimed in KP Astrology, this Ascendant Sublord (the Lord of the
Sub-division), along with the Sublords of the other eleven corresponding
Cuspal Points, (the starting points
of the Houses, calculated as per
Placidus System) account for the vast differences in the
life matters
of the Twins, born within a short interval.
The Sub-divisions tenanted by the twelve Cuspal Points, as headed by the
Ascendant, reason out the aspect of individuality even between twins or
triplets or quadruplets, as the case may be.
This criterion of a Cuspal Point posited in a particular Sub-division in a Star
constitutes the core idea of KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI, shortly called KP
System, which is an advanced system of astrology, based on such stellar
sub-divisions of the zodiac.
I feel that we should attribute the above aspect of individuality revealed by
the Ascendant Sublord not only to twins but also to every single birth. This
means that the Ascendant Sublord reveals a quality specific to any individual
birth, be it a twin or not.
Such an Ascendant Sublord is directly related to a particular Birth Time in a
particular Place, based on the factors of calculation involved in the casting of
the horoscope, as per KP.
On Birth Time of a Native:
Page 4

What is meant by Birth Time?

There are many notions on this among astrologers and the public in general.
Is it the time when the babys head comes out of the mothers womb? ( or )
Is it the time when the whole body of the new born is out of the mothers?
( or )
Is it the time when the new born touches this earth? ( or )
Is it the exact moment when the new babys umbilical cord is cut off? ( or )
Is it really when the child makes the first cry on exhaling the air from his
lungs to breathe on his own so as to make his existence on this planet?
Our great Guruji KSK has advised us to consider the last in the above list:
The time of the childs first cry (the childs first breath) is the
right birth time.
As a concept, it is okay. But, what happens inside a labor room, where the
birth of a new life takes place, and how do the doctors note the childs birth
time is beyond an astrologers imagination.
Does it really make much difference between the times when the babys
head comes out and the time when the child makes the first cry? May be it
will be just about two to five minutes
or a maximum of ten minutes or
more in between why such a fuss or craze on the accuracy of this birth
time?
Yes, in KP Astrology, at times, even a small difference of less than one
minute is likely to reflect a change in the Ascendants precise position at the
Sublord level, which, as per KP, can mean
a different birth totally.
It is this factor of minute difference in the Given Birth Time, capable of
changing the Ascendant Sublord, that has given scope for the need of a
Verification and Rectification Technique, and hence this article.
My Quest for this Technique of Rectification of Birth Time

Astrologically, with regard to a natives destiny, we can derive much of his
future prospects only from the study of his natal horoscope, than anything
else. This natal horoscope is cast for the birth time of the native in a
particular location.
For this, the native himself gives us his birth data - the date, time and place.
How far this Given Birth Time has been correctly noted by the doctors at the
time of his birth is the subject matter of this article. This poses as a big
hurdle, if not a burden, of doubt or confusion for any
KP astrologer,
who takes up things seriously and sincerely.
Page 5

RULING PLANETS, a special feature propounded by our great Guruji KSK, is

the divine tool available in our hands to correct such a doubtful birth time. It
is really a golden key for
us to unlock the mysteries embedded in a
horoscope, not to mention the birth time. None of us can deny or refute it.
Despite this fact, when the Given Birth Time can be doubted as such, isnt
there any chance
to doubt how far the birth time correction itself, as done
by a KP astrologer, is absolutely flawless? If it can be done so perfectly, any
KP astrologer capable of doing such perfect corrections on birth time would,
naturally, be very much applauded as a professional giving very successful
predictions or as a researcher who can put things as two plus two is equal
to four from the planetary dispositions in a horoscope.
As we could hear about not many KP astrologers like that, a small question
arose in my mind whether the birth time correction method itself needs to be
improved.
Of all the BTR (Birth Time Rectification) Methods advised or practiced by
many KP astrologers, the one, with the heading Birth Time Verification,
propounded by Shri.M.P.Shanmugam, published in the book Astro-Secrets
and KP Part.1, attracted my attention.
(Published by Mr. K.Subramaniam, M/s. Krishman & Co.,Chennai.)
Based of the ideas of Shri.MPS on Birth Time Verification and those of
Guruji KSK and many KP stalwarts regarding Significators, I have derived,
after a long study, an exclusive method for my use to verify a natives Birth
Time and to rectify the same.
Having named it MK RULE of BTVR, I have been using it for analyzing
natal horoscopes since 2002 and have been teaching the same to my
devoted students henceforth.
For all the KP astrologers to cherish this, I lay my humble findings at the feet
of my first
KP Master Shri. Prof. A.Vaithialingam Iyya, Salem.
(I joined his KP class as the 62nd student in the year 1996 and
had coaching on the basics of KP for about 2 years. That he has,
till date, trained nearly thousand students on this subject, stands
as a testimony of his untiring sincere service to this science of KP
Astrology.
He deserves to be applauded by all of us.
Guruve Namah)
Various Methods of BTR:
Page 6

In KP system, Birth time Rectification is done on the doubt whether the

Ascendant Sublord appearing for the given birth time is correct or not. This is
achieved by seeing whether the Ascendant Sublord is related, in some way
or other, to the Moons position at Birth or to the Birth Star, in particular.
Various methods of achieving this, with or without the use of Ruling Planets,
have come into practice now.
Though I had been learning KP since 1996, when I ventured into its principles
in 2000, this concept of determining the correct birth time of a native posed
as a big boulder a hurdle
in my path.
I was so mesmerized that I dared not analyze a chart without making myself
sure of the given birth time. How to do this? I went on asking what others are
doing in my place. Months passed by.
There were only two senior persons who could do this Birth Time Correction
in Salem at that time one Mr.Durai Madhivanan (a KP scholar and teacher),
and the other Mr.Thiruvenkatam Iyyengar (an experienced senior
astrologer).
With no more choices, I sought coaching from Mr.Madhivanan, my second
Master, who taught me the backward calculation part in the process of Birth
Time Rectification (BTR), using the Ruling Planets concept.
Here it is:
Ruling Planets Method of BTR (as learnt from Shri. Durai

Madhivanan)
Step: 1.
When you take up a natives chart for analysis, note down the
RPs of that moment; i.e., Ruling Planets (5) at the Time of Analysis
(RPs @TOA), namely the Lagna Signlord and Starlord, Moon Signlord
and Starlord, and Daylord.
Step: 2.
Calculate the Ascendant point in Deg.Min.Sec.(DMS) for the
Given Birth Time, as per KP principles.
Step: 3. The Asc. Sublord appearing for the Given Birth Time (GBT) is to be
replaced by the
strongest of all Ruling Planets (that which appears the most times).
Step: 4.
Then,the next strongest RP would take the position as
Ascendants SubSublord, and this SubSublord is to determine the sex
of the native, as male or female, which
we come to know by
Page 7

Step:
Step:
Step:
Step:
the name of the native or hear from the concerned person

to
whom consultation is given.
5.
Select two more RPs to place at the SSS lord and SSSS lord
positions of the native's Ascendant. These levels help us to fix the
Ascendant very precisely.
6. Now, find the starting Deg.Min.Sec.(DMS) pertaining to this precise
position. Using a scientific calculator, you can do this by sub-dividing
the Sub portion, then the SubSub portion, and finally the SubSubSub
portion.
7.
After getting this Deg.Min.Sec., take the relevant Cuspal
positions from the Tables of Houses pertaining to the Latitude of Birth
Place, and then work backwards to arrive at the corrected Sidereal
Time at Birth, then go backwards with 10 seconds and LMT
corrections and add the Standard Time to arrive at the Rectified Time
of the natives birth.
8.
Proceed to calculate the other cuspal and planetary positions as
usual, pertaining to the Rectified Birth Time (RBT).
That is it.
(Note:
One can see in the above method that no
connection of the Ascendant Sublord
to the Birth Moons position is involved or
considered.)
Moreover, the master used to insist that the correct birth time would always
be prior to the Given Birth Time, i.e. a few minutes lesser only. Why?
His answer was: At that juncture, the doctors would only be bothered about
saving the lives
of the mother and the new-born baby. It means that the
birth time is likely to be noted by
the doctors or others concerned only
after everything seems to be fine inside the labor room.
(Is that so?
Readers, what do you think?)
Unfortunately, his coaching to me discontinued shortly with this calculation
part.
KB Method of BTR (Shri.K.Baskaran,Cuspal Interlinks Theorist)

Then, I came across a small KP book Secrets of RP and Birth Time by
Mr.Baskaran of Madurai, which threw more light on the subject, though it
Page 8

gave some confusion due to some printing errors in the examples shown in
it. In the book, the author had referred many of Shri.KSKs concepts.
The one which is relevant now is: (by Shri.KSK):
Birth Ascendants position will be reflected in Moons position at
the Time of Analysis and that of Birth Moons position will be seen
in Ascendants position at TOA.
i.e. Birth Ascendant is to match with Moon at TOA,
and Birth Moon is to match with Ascendant at TOA.
The contents of this small book impressed me so much that as a matter of
my destiny,
I got associated with my third Master and started
learning Cuspal Interlinks Theory,
advancement on KP as it is
claimed and it is, indeed.
When it came to quench my thirst on BTR, I saw my Madurai Master
replacing the Birth Ascendants Sublord (of Given Time), just like
that, with the Moons SubSubSublord at the TOA (RP Moons SSS lord
or the Sookshama Lord, as he calls it).
i.e., RP Moons SSS lord @ TOA replaces the Birth Ascendant
Sublord.
In the year 2000, at that stage of learning, I was really shocked at the
simplicity of this method. Oh! Thats all! Its so easy!
But, what is the logic behind this and how far this works out for results on the
basis of his above said Cuspal Interlinks Theory is a question that needs
answer from his side.
In his method, he didnt consider determining the sex of the native in any
way. By some logical reasoning known only to him, he told me that the sex
of the native cannot be determined at all in any chart!??
You can determine the sex of your children from your chart, but
there is no way
to determine by your own chart whether
you are a male or a female was his shocking answer to my question
on it.
After about a 2-year association with him as a direct student of his, much to
my disappointment, I had to decline his principles, because the BTR done in
his method for
my birth time and the corresponding chart of mine
could neither expose the past events of
my life in a clear manner at that
time nor could foresee the prospects of my progeny matter correctly, as my
wife and I were longing for a child for nearly fifteen years till then.
Page 9

(May be I studied it in its trial phase. I hope he has got his theory improved
by this time.)
As I had put more faith on the basic principles of KP Astrology as given by
Shri.KSK, I dropped both the above two methods for the main reason that
they did not warrant any connection between the Birth Ascendants position
and the Birth Moons position.
My quest for the right solution continued.
Well, coming back to the subject matter, we shall ponder into the basic
principles of Birth Time Rectification as given by our Guruji KSK.
KSK Method of BTR

Though one of the KP Readers gives us a hint that Birth Ascendant Sublord
will be connected to the Birth Moon in some manner, I have not found any
illustration on it.
In KP Reader III, 7th Edition 1995, Page No.325, Shri.KSK has mentioned
thus:
In Brihat Jataka, written by Varaha Mihira in Chapter 26, there are four
stanzas to cast the horoscope of a person whose time of epoch
(impregnation) and also the time of birth is not known. He gives the
method to erect a horoscope from the time of query.
From this, one can understand that the time of birth and the urge to work
out and erect the horoscope of a native from the moment of query has a
direct bearing. They are inter-linked. There can be no second opinion.
Therefore, one is to follow the following method:
1. Note the lord of the day when the query is answered;(DayLord)
2. Note the star at that time, i.e. the lord of the constellation in which
Moon Transits;
3. Find the lord of the sign in which Moon is;(Moons Signlord)
4. Who is the lord of the Lagna.(Ascendants Signlord)
These (four) planets will be the same who govern the sign in which the
Lagna is, the constellation in it, the Sub and the SubSub.
So, it is evident from the words of the Great Master that the Ascendant Point
needs to be fixed up to the level of SubSub, by considering the four Ruling
Planets at TOA.
But, another aspect of how to determine the sex of the native is not
explained in the Readers
as clearly as the above rule, but for a few
illustrations
Page 10

As it is with many of the KP principles found in The Readers, this concept of

Birth Time Rectification also is being interpreted in different ways by many
KP followers. Which is the right or the most reliable way? This is one question
still in the minds of the new entrants as well as the practitioners. The reason
is nothing but lack of enough illustrations in this regard in the KP Readers.
Ones choice is either get convinced with some approach already in use or
derive
a new one for oneself.
MPS Method of BTV (Birth Time Verification)

Late Shri.M.P.Shanmugam, in the book Astro-Secrets and KP Part II in
Page No. 238,
(M/s. Krishman & Co., Chennai) has presented a
novel idea, I think, for the first time ever;
to check the correctness of a
natives birth time. This idea of his is, certainly, an eye-opener for any KP
enthusiast like me.
In his own words:
If one has to know, whether the given birth time is correct or wrong, the
method is
the Birth Lagna Cusp Sublord should tell the Birth Star or the
Moon Sign directly or
in one way or the other. To tell the very Birth Star will be more
correct.
a) The Birth Lagna Sublord itself may be the Birth Star.
b) The Birth Lagna Sublord, in whose constellation it is, that
Constellation Lord or
Sublord may come as Birth Star.
c) The Birth Lagna Sublord in whose constellation it is, that
Constellation Lords
area has to be looked up to Sookshama level, which will be the Birth
Star.
i.e. Lagna Sublord is in a Star(Dasa) - then Sub(Bhukthi) - then
SubSub(Anthara)and then in a SubSubSub (Sookshama).
This SubSubSub lord (SSS lord) will be the Birth Star.
d) The Birth Lagna Sub, in which Sub it is, that Sub will be in a Star
SubSubSubSSS
Page 11

Here, we must take the SubSubSub lord (SSS), which should tell the
Birth Star.
A Birth has several stages like first cry, placed on earth (boopadhana),
Siras Udhayam, Normal delivery, Caessarean, and so on. Under such
circumstances, you cannot stick to
one method of thinking alone.
As the Birth Lagna Sublord has interconnection with Moon by four levels
as explained above, this Lagna Sub if it, in any manner, touches the Birth
Star, that time is the Correct Birth Time. You may have to work up to
Sookshama level at times.
Yes, here is the real clue The connection of Birth Asc. Sublord with Birth
(Moon) Star.
What Guruji KSK meant, Shri. MPS has explained. This clue will certainly
serve our purpose to a great level. No doubt in it. We need to give a try on
it, thats all.
I have accepted these four rules as they are and I do apply the same to start
with for every chart I take up for analysis.
Let me illustrate Shri.M.P.Shanmugams Four Rules of Birth Time

Note: In my observation, out of the four Rules of Shri.MPS, Rule 2

and Rule 3 occur more often than the
other other two, while judging horoscopes. However, Rule 1
and Rule 4 too need attention. I used to go
through all these four Rules at a glance on taking up any chart
to check the Given Birth Time.
Even now, I get convinced by applying the above MPS Rules to
start with, and in case they dont serve
my purpose, then I opt for my MK Rule.
With this powerful tool of MPS in hand, it becomes much easier for us to shed
our doubt on the Given Birth Time and to proceed on to the predictive side.
The Connection Between Ascendant and Moon- What is it?

The human mind, sometimes, does not settle down that easily. It asks a lot
of questions.
My mind did so.
Why such a connection between Ascendant and Moon is warranted?
What does this connection imply? ..?....?.......?........?
No explanation anywhere.
After much thought, I reasoned it out myself and got convinced.
On my thinking, the answer came out like this: MKs perception:
HUMAN BIRTH
The Seed of Life was received by Mother from Father.
Father means Sun. Lagna (Ascendant) is calculated from Sun's position.
So, Lagna means our Soul (or Life given by Father).
MOON represents Mother who received the Seed from Father.
Mother gave us physical form or body. So, Moon means our Body (given by
Mother).
Divine Science says: Soul and Body should agree with each other.
My body would not accept someone else's Soul AND my Soul would not get into
someone else's body.
So, in one's chart, "Ones Soul would certainly match with Ones Own
Body".
Page 15

Hence, LAGNA should show connection to MOON.
As understood by me, this is what our Guruji could have meant by his
formula, in saying that
"Lagna should, in any manner, be connected to Moon."
With this understanding and with the above clues from the great masters,
and with their blessings, it so happened that I worked out a technique to
sustain the underlying meaning, and at the same time got the rules
extended by logical derivation, as I deemed it to be fit.
I would certainly appreciate any other technique followed by others in this
regard, provided
it gives better results. In my experience, any method of
doing a correction on Birth Time alone would not serve our purpose at all. It
is the predictive part that needs more attention and success thereof.
However, to start with, we need to convince ourselves with the Birth Time
given so as to proceed further with some confidence. Mind it, not all clients
will encourage our correction
on their birth times. They want only our
prediction, and not our manipulation of their Birth Time. So, Birth Time
Rectification is only an astrologers part of doing his job, so to say.
With this, I call upon your kind attention to my MK Rule of BTVR in the
following lines. I hope the below technique of mine will help our community
of KP astrologers to experiment and cherish the results for better
understanding of KP charts in particular and the secrets of astrology in
general.
MK Rule of BTVR (Birth Time Verification and Rectification)

Moon Sign (representing Mother) and the Ascendant (Lagna) derived from
Suns position (representing Father) are the two important factors of
prediction in a horoscope. According to KP System, the Ascendants position
in a Zodiac Sign holds within itself the so-called FATE
of the native,
governing all the events of his life from birth to death.
In co-ordination with this, the Moon Sign (or the Moon position, to be precise)
divides the natives life into different periods to experience happiness or
sorrow, success or failure, gain or loss, whichever is destined to him in this
birth caused by his past Karma, as it is believed.
Page 16

Hence, the Ascendant position (denoting ones Destiny) and the Moon
position (denoting Periods in the path to Destiny and ruling ones Mind, too)
has to comply with each other
in the right manner.
Our Destiny (Ascendant-Lagna) rules over our Mind (Moon). Our Mind, in
turn, stimulates our action or no-action efforts, which lead us to pleasure or
hardship in every walk of our lives.
In this sense too, the Ascendant and the Moon are inter-connected in our
horoscopes.
In ones horoscope, Moons position at the Sub level will hold good for a few
hours; contrarily, the Ascendants position at the Sub level can change within
minutes.
Hence, it is the duty of a KP astrologer to adjust the Ascendants position to
be in tune with that of Moon. This criterion is a must as advised by our
Guruji.
In KP system, the Sub-division of the Constellation in a zodiac Sign would
indicate the precise position of an Ascendant for a given time in a given
place;
i.e. The Ascendant is indicated by a combination of a Signlord, a Starlord and
a Sublord.
In order to determine if the Ascendant Sublord for a Given Birth Time is the
right one or not, consider the below MK Rules of BTVR (Birth Time
Verification and Rectification).
To check if the Birth Time OR the

Ascendant Sublord is correct or not:
MK Rule of BTVR No. 1:
If Asc.Sublord(A) / As Starlord / As Sublord = Moons

SignL / StarL / SubL / SSL / SSSL
If the Ascendants Sublord (A), or As Starlord or As Sublord is the same as
one of the five planets governing Moons position, i.e. Moons Signlord/
Page 17

Starlord/ Sublord/ SSlord/ SSSlord

Sublord as the right one.
then, consider the above Ascendants
Note: This Ascendant Sublord will hold good for a few minutes plus or minus from
the Given Birth Time.

If the Ascendants Sublord (A) is a Node, the above rules hold well as such

Thats it. This is MK Rule of BTVR.

Note: It is most likely that two or more of the above MK Rules suit
well in a KP chart for a
Given Birth Time. This only ensures the condition we are
seeking. So, it is doubly okay.
Another important point to note:
Question:
What
happens
when
Moon
appears
as
Ascendant Sublord?
Those who are very shrewd would notice that, (as it happened to me), with
any rules as this one, by which the Ascendant Sublord is supposed to have
some connection with the Birth Moons position (or Moons Star, in
particular), there will arise a problem of understanding when the Ascendant
Sublord appears as Moon itself. I have seen people considering this situation
as a very perfect one, because Moon itself has come as the Ascendant
Sublord.
No, it is not so. Birth Moon, as a planet, denotes the
natives Body, as already understood.
But, Moon as the Ascendant
Sublord is the Lord of the Sub-division governing the Ascendant point,

denoting in turn, the natives Soul, as any other planet could do. Now
when we connect the position of this Moon (as Ascendant Sublord) to Birth
Moons position, it will naturally reflect itself. By this, the required connection
should not be deemed as such. This is only an apparent one, and not a true
connection. In case the Birth Moons position is in Moons Star
or Sub or
SubSub or SubSubSub, then there is a direct connection between the

Ascendant Sublord Moon and Birth Moons position. If not so, there certainly
arises a problem.
MPS Methods Rule No. 2 or 3or 4 will serve the purpose in such a situation.
MKs Rule No. 2 and 3 can also be handy, but, mind it, Moon must directly be
in 120 aspect or in 0 conjunction with the Birth Moons SignL /StarL /
SubL /SSL /SSSL.. Then it is okay.
Now, let us make a comparison of MPS Rule and MK Rule:
Page 21

According to MPS, the Given Birth Time is correct if:

1.
2.
3.
4.
Asc. Sublord (A)

= Moons (Signlord or) Starlord.
Asc.Sublords Sublord (B)
Asc.Sublords SSS lord (C)
Asc.Sublords Sublord is B.
This Bs SSS lord (D
If any one of the above A, B, C or D is the same as Moons (Signlord
or) Starlord, then the Given Birth Time is deemed to be correct up to
the minute.
Now, my MK Rule of BTVR is, in a sense, an extension or an
improvement of the above MPS Rule. Please see:
1. If Asc. Sublord (A)
or
As Starlord
or
As Sublord
= Moons SignLord / StarLord / SubLord /

SSLord / SSSLord

or
As Starlord
or
As Sublord
is in 120 aspect (+ /- 6 orb) with

Moons SignL / StarL /
SubL / SSL / SSSL

or
As Starlord
or
As Sublord
is in 0 rapt conjunction (+ /- 2 orb) with

SubL / SSL / SSSL
4. If Asc. Sublord is a
Node (A)
then directly as
above,
OR indirectly
if Nodes Signlord (B)
or
Bs Starlord
or
Bs Sublord
= Moons SignLord / StarLord / SubLord /

SSLord / SSSLord
or in 120 aspect (+ /- 6 orb) with
SubL / SSL / SSSL
or in 0 rapt conjunction (+/- 2 orb) with
SubL / SSL / SSSL
Page 22

Note: Here, in MK Rule, Ascendant Sublords SubSublord may also be

considered as above. There will be no harm. As we are considering
only Sublord level in Ascendants position for Birth Time Accuracy, Only
up to Ascendant.Sublords Sublord is shown above.
MPS Rule goes up to SSS Level with regard to Asc.Sublord or its

Sublord,
Whereas MK Rule deems connection upto SSS level with
regard to Moons position.
(Pl see, KB Method takes RP Moons SSS lord at TOA as
the deemed Ascendant Sublord at Birth.)

Readers, Kindly observe the role of the SSS Lords in different
areas, as used by different authors.

In MPS method, one can see that the focus is mainly on the Moons
Starlord, probably because it is the Natives Birth Star, for which the
traditional astrologers give utmost importance, also MPS has taken it, I
think so.
But, in MK Rule, the focus is on the Moons precise position, wherein all
the planets governing that position is taken into consideration, i.e.
Moons Signlord/ Starlord/ Sublord/ SSlord or SSSlord.
If WHY SO? is your question, then WHY NOT? is my answer.
Here is my logic behind this:
We all know:
Moons Starlord means the Dasa lord, the lord of the major period at the
time of ones birth.
Now, let us suppose that a native is born in Venus Dasa, Kethu Bhukthi with
a balance period of one year or so, would he experience the potential of the
Dasa Lord Venus to a maximum level be it good or bad? No, certainly not, I
think so.
With the influence of all the other eight Bhukthi lords having passed over
before birth, the Dasa Lord Venus himself will be at an almost exhausted
stage to execute whatever powers he has with him.
Now that the last Bhukthi Lord Kethu is in for action, associated with its
master-the Dasa Lord, Venus, the very birth of the native has taken place. By
this, we can understand that this one Bhukthi Lord, with one particular
Anthara Lord and lastly with one particular Sookshama Lord, has come
Page 23

forward, during Venus Dasa period, to trigger the very birth of the native, on
a particular date, at a particular hour, and within that hour at a particular
minute.
These Lords of the periods namely Dasa, Bhukthi, Anthara, Sookshama
Lords (DBAS Lords) who, acting jointly as a combined force to trigger the
natives birth, are none but those indicating the Moons position at that time.
All the events experienced by a native, good and bad during his life time, are
only the results of such a combination of these DBAS lords, acting at a
particular point of time in his life.
This combination of DBAS is like a perfect string of participants in an event
program, wherein we cut at any point to ignore someone, and the event does
not happen at all.
So, each participant, for his unique quality, should be considered and rather
not underestimated anytime.
Therefore, it would be only logical, and not otherwise, to connect the
Ascendant Sublord with any one of these DBAS lords at the time of birth.
The readers may kindly note that until this stage of checking the Ascendant
Sublords connection to the Moons position, no Rulings Planets are required
at all. This means that the said connection has to exist by itself, naturally, in
the incidence of a birth.
Readers need not be carried away by this point too much. Dont expect,
dont assume, dont doubt it, or, for the sake of it, dont even raise an
argument whether, in any given place, at a time when the Ascendant
Sublord gets connected with the Moons position in the above said ways,
there must be a birth. No, it need not be so. The idea applies only for the
births that occur. It is not absolutely necessary that birth should occur for a
condition as discussed above.
Now, suppose this Asc. Sublord appearing for the given time does not
connect with the Moons position, in any of the above said manner, then it
becomes necessary that Ascendant Sublord be changed so as to get that
connection with the Moon.
Now arises a question, Who else can take the place of the Asc.
Sublord?
Naturally, we would prefer the one prior to or the one after that Ascendant
Sublord.
Which one of these two?
Page 24

Here is the situation where we need the help of the Ruling Planets, which
we must note down at the time of taking the horoscope for analysis.
What is the role of these Rulings Planets (RPs) that emerge at the
Time Of Analysis (TOA)?
Our Guruji KSK guides us by his following words:
1. The RPs at the TOA will be the RPs at the TOB (Time Of Birth);
i.e. the four RPs at the TOA will indicate the four planets ruling the
Ascendant point;
@ TOA, The Daylord, Moons Starlord, Moons Signlord and Asc. Signlord (
4 planets)
will show @ TOB, Ascendants Signlord, Starlord, Sublord and
SubSublord (4 planets).
(But, whether we have to consider in the same order as given above is
not clear.)
2. The RP Ascendants Sign at the TOA is the Moons Sign at
birth;
i.e. @ TOA, the Ascendant will be in a Sign; that Sign is the Moons sign
at TOB.
3. Moons position at the TOA will show the Ascendant at the
TOB;
i.e. @ TOA, the Moon will be in Sign; that Sign is the Ascendants Sign at
TOB.
Now, by MK Rule, take the RP Moons position at TOA,
i.e. Moons Signlord, Starlord, Sublord, SSL, SSSL.
(five planets)
From these, note the one that goes prior to or comes after the Ascendant
Sublord, which we want to change. Consider the new one selected from the
RP Moons position at the TOA,
and see if it has any connection to the
Birth Moons position, as per MK Rule. Then decide that one as the new
Ascendant Sublord.
(Mind that you dont go for the ones that are still farther from the original
one, lest you should give much difference between the New and the Given
Birth Time.)
With these guidelines, we can now try to fix the Ascendant SubSublord. This
is the point where we can determine the sex of the native, whether a male or
a female.
Page 25

How to determine the best one among those remaining in the RP Moons
position?
Compare the significators in the RP Moons position and those in RP
Ascendants position at the Time of Analysis (TOA).
Select the one which appears common at both the points. This is the strong
significator.
At this juncture, we can even take a look if that strong significator repeats
itself at the
7th Cuspal Point too.
(Why? Just to add more weight age to it. Why 7 th Cuspal Point? RP Moon at
TOA indicates Natives Ascendant at TOB. If so, what role can we
assign to the RP Ascendant at TOA? Will it not mean something? Well, I
consider it as the Astrologers point who seeks the answer for the
doubt on natives Birth Time. (That is why we have to compare the
RP Moons position with the RP Ascendant position to get a strong
significator.)
If RP Ascendant Point at TOA denotes the
th
astrologer, the 7 Cusp, the opponents point, would again mean the
natives Ascendant Point. But, this 7th Cuspal Point at TOA is only
secondary in nature to that of RP Moon at TOA
Note: We must select the natives Asc. significators only from

the RP Moons point at TOA, and not from the
7th Cuspal point, which can be considered only for purpose of
re-confirmation.
Now that we have judged whether the Ascendant Sublord for the given birth
time is the right one or not, we have to proceed to the next step, that is,
fixing of the Asc.endant SubSublord.
Fixing the SubSublord (SS) and the Sex of the Native

Having decided upon the strongest Significator from the RP Moons position
at TOA to be the Ascendant SubSublord, it should be checked to denote the
sex of the native.
In MK Rule, it is considered that, while the PLANETS indicate the mental
status of the native, the Zodiac SIGNS occupied by those Planets indicate his
physical status.
On selecting the strongest Significator as said above, look at its SubSubSub
lord (SSSL). This SSS lord is the deciding factor for the chosen Significator.
Page 26

In the natives chart of given time, see whether there are any other planets
posited in this SSSLords Stars. If not so, then the SSSL should be the one
posited in a male sign of the zodiac if the native is a male or in a female sign
if the native is a female.
If this is opposite, i.e. the SSSLord of the selected Significator is in a female
sign for a males chart, then drop that Significator and consider the next
stronger one from RP Moon position
at TOA. Check again to see if the
SSSLord of the Significator (of second choice) is in a male sign of a males
chart and so on till someone suits well.
Now, suppose there is a planet in the Star of the Significators SSSLord, then
go for the Starlord of this SSSLord, who should be posited in a male sign to
denote the native as a male.
It may so happen, sometimes, that the SSSlords (the deciding factors) of all
the available Significators, who are deemed to be the Ascendants
SubSublord, are all in the female signs
in males chart, or all in the male
signs in a females chart, which is a mismatch for indication
of sex, as
per this MK rule.
In such exceptional cases, the only possible option is to have the 12 zodiac
signs divided into two halves the first half is the Male Hora of 15 and the
second half is a Female Hora of 15 in a Male Sign, and vice versa in a
Female Sign, and to check the position of the SSSlord or
its Starlord, to
justify the sex indication.
Such a way of dividing a Sign is not primarily encouraged in MK Rule,
because a native
can possess a dual nature masculine and
feminine by character which may be evident in due course, but one cannot
be physically both masculine and feminine at birth.
Also, if taken primarily, even this division of a male Hora and a female Hora
also may not serve our purpose in determining or fixing the sex, when, in
very rare cases, all the Significator planets may be posited in Female Hora
sections in a males chart or in Male Hora sections
in a females chart.
It has to be accepted that any method of determining the sex based on signs
of the zodiac
will have this limitation, though to a minimum level, in
general.
Sharpening or fine-tuning
SubSubSub (SSS) level
the
Ascendant
point
at
Page 27

The remaining one or two Significators from the RP Moons position at TOA
are supposed to take the position of SSS lord and, if possible, the SSSS lord.
The choice of who is stronger among two or more such Significators depends
upon the criterion that the one whose Stars are unoccupied by other planets
is stronger than the others.
This selection of the Ascendants SSS lord (and SSSS lord) helps to sharpen
or fine-tune the Ascendants point, which will bring about the fixation of the
other 11 Cuspal Points up to their SSS levels automatically.
Now ends the fixation of the Ascendant point exact to an Hour-MinuteSecond (HMS)
by Clock time.
Whats the Warranty?

The main idea behind this MK Rule of BTVR is not to have any undue
doubt about the given birth time. It is to be assumed as correct unless and
until the consulting party or the native himself is doubtful about his birth
time or date.
It is to be admitted and I do admit that, in spite of such precise positioning,
by way of correction, of the Ascendant Point and correspondingly, the other
11 Cuspal Points, this does not warranty 100% perfection. WHY? The reason
is that any chart, whether corrected or not, should reflect the past events, at
least some of them, to an astrologers satisfaction, so that
the future
events can be foreseen with confidence by him.
Checking of past events is an issue of bigger dimension and it requires the
understanding of the working of MKs Cuspal Point Signification Theory, a
special feature under MK Method of Predictive Techniques, for confirming
the correctness of the Birth Time Rectification.
As the explanation of the above CPS Theory under MK Method will go a little
away from
the scope of this article, I would like to take leave of you for
a while before that. Obviously,
I would be only very pleased to call your
attention back to it as soon as possible. I intend to present the same in the
form of a text book with illustrations for practice and application in reading a
natives destiny from his horoscope.
In my experience of applying these MK Rules of BTVR, Cuspal Point
Signification Theory, etc., for the last five years, they have given satisfactory
results in nearly 80 to 85 per cent of cases.
Page 28

I sincerely request all KP followers to give a try on this MK Rule of BTVR

method and help one another to set right the flaws in it, if any. I await your
genuine comments on my above ideas. Just be frank enough to tell me
whatever you all feel about this.
I pray to the Almighty to bestow on us the light of knowledge to lift this
Divine Science of Astrology to the appropriate height of recognition in this
modern technological world of material science.
May I request your comments, Readers?
