Dear Members,
I have been closely following all the postings in this Group and I
find that many are struggling to understand the usage of the principle
of RULING PLANETS as invented by our GREAT GURUJI, JYOTISH MARTHAND,
JYOTISH MANNAN, LATE PROF: SRI K.S.KRISHNAMOORTHIJI.

WHAT ARE THE RULING PLANETS? These are not mere Planets but they are
the POWERFUL LIGHTS that will take the KP followers out of the
labyrinth dark tunnel of KP principles where several precious stones,
jewels and what not, are strewn all over but cannot be seen by them
due to the thick darkness. Therefore one should be very careful before
trying to use these GREAT LIGHTS for their use. Then what is the
procedure. Let me explain below, which is backed by my experience as a
practicising KP Astrologer for the past half a century (50 years)
after learning this Great Divine Science directly by sitting under the
LOTUS FEET of our beloved GURUJI himself.

Before attempting to verify, correct and predict on a Birth Chart or
from a Horary Chart, first close your eyes, concentrate deeply and beg
for the GRACE of your Parents, (FATHER AND MOTHER) whether they are
alive or not, since they are the persons who gave you this body and
mind through which your intellect works on any subject and produce
results.

Then beg for the GRACE of GURUJI to guide you properly and correctly.
This is a must, since without a Guru or Teacher you cannot understand
anything in life.

Next, pray to your Ishta Devta, (WORSHIPPING DEITY) it may be anything
like, Christ, Allah, Ram, Krishan, Shiv, etc., etc., This is necessary
because the Planets are placed in the firmament by THEM to give
results based on their position in the Chart. Here a question may be
asked viz., " I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE EXISTANCE OF ANY GOD " , what am
I to do?. O.K. At least you know and believe that you are brought into
this world by your Father and Mother. For such persons, their Father
and Mother only are the Gods or Ishta Devta.

Check your own Natal/Birth Chart and find out whether the RUNNING
period Lords, viz., Dasa, Bukthi, Anthar and Sookshma, Moon and the
Ascendant, are transiting in a favorable position for you on the day
you are working out the chart. Here give more importance to the
Ascendant which indicates the time at which you are taking up the
Chart for working. Please note here that I have not taken into account
Jupiter and Sun. The reason is very simple. Jupiter indicates the year
and all of us know that it is a very slow moving Planet and you cannot
wait for another Year to come before taking up the Chart for working.
Similarly Sun which denotes the Month also moves only a degree per day
and we cannot wait for one month, for taking up the examination of the
Chart.

After satisfying all the above pre-requisites, you should work out the
RULING PLANETS with respect for them in your heart since they are
going to guide you to success. . Here also first you should take only
the 5 RULING PLANETS followed by our GREAT GURUJI, VIZ.,. Ascendant
Star Lord, Ascendant Sign Lord, Moon's Star Lord, Moon's Sign Lord and
finally the Day Lord, (Here, if you follow the Indian System of Day,
it should be from Sun Rise to Sun Rise. Otherwise, it should be from
Midnight to Midnight) for the time up to the Seconds, at the place you
are examining the Chart. Since correct time is the essence in this
exercise you should give greatest importance for the correctness of
the time up to the Micro Seconds which you can obtain from any
Scientific Laboratory which uses the Atomic Clock for their work.

The first set of 5 Planets should be kept and used as PRIMARY RULING
PLANETS. Then, take those Planets that have not figured directly as
RPs i.e., Primary RPs, but they are in the Star and / Sub of RPs.,
those Planets within 3 degrees of a RP, those Planets which are
occupying the Ascendant Sign in the RP, those Planets that are being
strongly aspected by the Primary RPs. These should be kept separately
as SECONDARY RULING PLANETS. So far as Nodes are concerned, if they
are conjoined with either the Primary or Secondary RPs they should be
taken as RPs in their respective set i.e., Primary or Secondary and
similarly if they occupy the Signs of the RPs., Primary and Secondary.
In this process you will mostly get all the 9 Planets as RPs.

After the above process is over, you can begin your work, first by
positioning the PRIMARY RPs to the required places depending on the
type of question etc., In case you are not getting the correct result,
go to the SECONDARY RPs to see if they fit in for the purpose for
which you have invoked the RPs.

In the case of Horary Charts, the usual elimination process (i)
removing the tempting RPs (ii) RPs that are occupying the negative
houses from the houses required for getting the result (iii) RPs that
are in the Stars/Subs of Planets occupying the negative houses (iv)
RPs in the Star and or Sub of a Retrograde Planet (v) RPs that are
occupying the houses 6, 8 and 12 to the houses of judgement, should be
followed.

I have been successful in my career as a KP Astrologer by following
all the above mentioned procedures and hence I thought that I should
share the above with all my fellow KP Scholars, Astrologers and KP
Students.

Due to my old age and other preoccupations with my Clients etc., I am
not able to interact with other members of this Group very often, for
which I hope they will pardon me.

GOOD LUCK
