Narrowing Down the Significators

If the Birth or Horary Chart indicates more than three or four significators with respect to the matter that is
being judged, unimportant significators may be eliminated with the assistance of the Ruling Planets. Jot down
the Ruling Planets (RP's) of the moment when you begin the process of analysing and judging the Horoscope.

The common planets between the significators (of the matter/event to be judged) and the RP's may be
considered as the final significators, and the rest may be eliminated.

An event happens during the joint period (Mahadasha, Bhukti, Pratyantardasha, Sookshma Dasa) of
the significators of the houses under consideration.

1. In cases where the significators of the houses under consideration exceed more than four, the
unimportant significators should be eliminated as under:

 Preference should be given to Rahu or Ketu if it represents any significator.

 The planet whose Sub Lord is the significator of the house detrimental to the house or houses under
consideration, should be eliminated first.

3. The order of the period rulers becomes fixed according to the sign position of the Moon at the time of birth
in each case (Vimshottari Dasha). So one cannot avoid this. So if the period ruler is in any manner connected
with the matter of the house under consideration, or if it is the chief governor of the matter under
consideration, it is to be considered as an important significator of the matter under consideration.

Longevity of Native's Mother

As Ketu represents Moon, omit Moon and retain Ketu. As Sun's Sub Lord, Saturn, occupies the first house of
the Mother, omit it. So Ketu, Venus, and Rahu become the final significators of the Badhaka and Maraka
houses as counted from the 4th for the native's Mother.

The native's Mother died on November 1, 1923 during the joint period of Ketu, Venus, and Rahu.

Marriage

Moon is in the sub of the Sun which is posited in

the 6th, so omit the Moon.

Mercury, Ketu, Rahu, and Jupiter are in the sub

Rahu which is posited in the 2nd and is
significator of the 7th, so retain them.

It may be noted that the native passed the

periods of Mercury and Ketu in his childhood.
The period of Rahu will start in his old age, and
there is no scope for the period of Jupiter. So
these significator planets will work as Sub
Period, inter period, and Sookshma period
rulers.

The Native was running the period of Venus since January 13, 1929, and it continues up till January 13, 1949.
Venus is the chief governor for marriage. It is in the Star of Jupiter and in the Sub of Saturn owning the 2nd.
The Star Lord Jupiter aspects the 7th cusp, Moon owns the 7th, Mercury is in the 7th, and Rahu is in the 2nd.
So Venus is a strong significator for marriage.

The Native got married on December 13, 1937 during the joint period (DBAS) of Venus/Rahu/Jupiter/Rahu
dasas.
 Fruitful Significators
One should find out all possible significators of the houses corresponding to the
question and then find out the fruitful significators that are used to time the event. In most
of the cases, one will obtain all nine planets as significators. Here is the challenge to find
most beneficial significators that can be used to time the event.

Below are the guide lines to select the fruitful significators:

1. Significators those are common with Ruling planets at the time of judgment.
2. Significators from PCO and PCBL are stronger.
3. Significators which are the Cuspal sub lords of the required houses.
4. The Cuspal sub lord becomes the strongest significators, if there is no planet in its
star.
5. Significators which appear several times amongst the Ruling Planets and/or
significators.
6. The significators which also signifies the negative houses will never give the positive
result. In general avoid using the significators to the 12 th Bhava to the concerned
house.
7. A strong and single significators of the negative houses should be rejected.
8. Reject the significators which is in the star of the retrograde planet as it cannot give
the results during its DBAS period.
9. If a significators of a cusp is very close to the adjacent cusp (within 3.333 degrees),
then the significators signifies the adjacent house and the occupied house. If there
is no planet in the adjacent house then it is strongest signifier of that adjacent
house.
10. If the sub lords of two cusps are the same then those two cusps are strongly
connected to each other. Example: if 1 st Cuspal sub lord is same as the 11 th Cuspal
sub lord, then it is strong indication of promise of fulfillment of desire.
11. Each planet is associated with the nature of the event and the planet is called the
chief significators (Kaaraka) of that matter. A Kaaraka signifies of the relevant
Bhava (if it is a KP Significator) stronger than any other planet.
