Planet

Houses are the domain of our life where the energies of planet and sign operate. Houses are always fixed
and constant.

Signs are the sectors which fall in different houses as per the ascendant. Each sign lies less than 30 degrees
only.

Planets are the energies representing the will of God on human life and they operate through houses by
having the lordship of sign in astrology.

Ascendant Is the sign which was rising at the Eastern Horizon at the time of your birth. The sign falling in
the 1st house of your Horoscope is known as your ascendant.

Here in the part B, we will be studying the planetary effects and the house effects as per KP chart….

Now we will be studying the planetary effects and what each planetary placement signifies in accordance
with the KP chart.

Remember when we say alignment, it can be done at three levels. These are houses, planets and rashi.

Alignment as per the house is the most common form as we utilize the house energy in a positive manner.
For example, if someone is having his twelfth house activated and the person is suffering through huge
losses and disappointments. We will advice such individuals to do more and more charity, get into
meditation or do something connected to foreign country to avoid bad energy of this house.

Similarly, if someone is having his eight-house activated and person is experiencing a lot of pain, mental
agony and obstacles in whatever he is doing. We can suggest such individual to get into technical activities,
research-based work or practicing something related to the eight house. This will balance the bad energy of
eight house harming that individual.

What Does Your Birth Chart Say About Betting

Monthly Astrology: Virgo

Commit to the Pursuit of Knowledge and Not Ignorance!

What Makes you cry or suffer: Its 8th and 12th house only. However, 8th house is mainly responsible as it
gives you pain, suffering, humiliation and many other things like this. 12th house gives you expenditure and
loss only, but when got connected to 8th house there will be major and drastic losses resulting in pain and
suffering.

Therefore, whenever someone comes to you, you need to see how the 8th and 12th houses are active, mainly
8th. Root Cause of every problem in Astrology Remedial Basis of 8th and 12th house: Before

entering field of astrology, I used to visit an astrologer near my place, but he is no

more.

I always noticed that he used to advice people to visit hospitals court and police stations on frequent basis
and drink or having some food there. I always wonder why he used to say so. After entering field of
astrology, I observed that an individual used to visit hospitals, court and police stations especially when 8th
house is operating in MAP. 9 Logically if you are visiting these places when houses related to these places
are getting activated in MAP.

If you are doing this intentionally then events related to these places may bypass as you are already there
where your planets want, you to be. I have noticed that a doctor has all the combinations of a patient having
the most serious diseases. If you look at the chart of a hospitalized patient and a doctor, you will notice that
both have 6th, 8th and 12th house in operation in MAP.

It clearly shows that God has finalized a destination for every individual, and it is fixed. But the way of
reaching that point could be different based on the selection through your karma. This is the point where an
astrologer can create a difference in your life by telling you the right choice.

If you are already performing an activity related to a bad house, then the intensity of that house gets
lowered. For example, if 8th house is activated during MAP, then doing astrology as a profession or
business is good for you. Also, there will be lesser need of performing any remedy related to 8th house.
Same way if you are experiencing bad results of 12th house like loses, huge expenditure or isolation, then
you can positively utilize the energy of this house by start investing, getting involved in a business involved
in import or export and most important is doing charity.

Planets related to 8th and 12th house are like products whose GST you must pay. Now you have two
options, either you pay your GST regularly or you must pay it suddenly with a huge penalty. Therefore, it is
advised in earlier time to do charity on regular basis. Some religions are advised to donate 10% percent of
their earning in charitable work. If we look at this astrologically, we will notice that doing this is an activity
to satisfy your 12th house. So always perform charitable deeds so that you won’t get any penalty for not
paying natures GST

NOTE:

MAP here means Mahadasha, Antardasha & Pratyantardasha.

Sun Placement: Placement of sun in a horoscope tell us the area where one feels like connecting to his own
soul. Sun is the natural atma karaka or the soul significator in astrology. For example, if someone is having
his sun placed in the 6th house then one will find soul satisfaction while doing positive activities of 6th
house. This is like working for the underprivileged.

Example Chart 1

In the example chart 1 one will have complete satisfaction of the soul while doing creative work, sports and
any kind of learning. Sun is not only the atma karaka, but it also the karaka of fame. So, the house where sun
is placed can give you everlasting fame.

Moon Placement: Placement of Moon in a horoscope tell us the area where one feels emotionally connected.
Moon is the Karaka of our emotions and thoughts. It’s only through a balance mind and emotional stability
one can achieve everything in life.

Example chart 2

Look at the example chart 2 where Moon is placed in the tenth house of career and profession. So, this
person will have emotional stability once he focusses on his karma. In other words, we can also say that the
individual will always have thoughts related to career and status.

Mars Placement: Placement of mars in a horoscope tell us about the area where one will utilize his energy
and actions. Mars placement also shows the area of conflict and fight in our life.

Example Chart 3

status. Now mars here will make this individual action oriented when it comes to career matters. He may
also have conflicts, fights and anger issues at the workplace.

Rahu Placement: Rahu is all about passion and things you are very much attached with. Rahu is someone
who knows no boundaries or restrictions. It is set to achieve everything the person is desired of.

Example Chart 4
 7

Here Rahu is placed in the 1st house of self and therefore the person is very possessive about own self. He is
a go getter. However, this placement will also give a over materialistic attitude.

Ketu Placement: Similarly, ketu placement in example chart 4 shows the area where one is detached of. In
the chart above you can see the ketu placed in the 7th house of relationship. The person will least care about
relationship matters. He may also feel detached with the partner.

shows the area where one can have or will experience unconditional love. In example chart 4 Venus is

placed in the eight house of research, technology and occult. It shows that one can have great wealth by
involving these things in life.

in a chart represents the area where one can use his intelligence and intellect to grow. In the example chart 4
Mercury is placed in the 9th house of higher learning and expansion.

Jupiter Placement: Jupiter placement shows the domain of your life where you will experience true wisdom
and knowledge. It also shows the area which help you grow in your life with support of your luck. Here
Jupiter is placed in the seventh house of relationship and marriage. Spouse will bring good luck to this
person. Life partner will be someone who can help him knowing the true wisdom.

Saturn Placement: Saturn placement shows the life area where one needs to be very disciplined and focused.
It also shows the domain where one will experience pain because of not performing the karma related to that
area. In the example chart 4, Saturn is

Placed in the twelfth house of investment and expenditure. One needs to be very focused and disciplined on
things the person is spending his wealth or health on. Lack of focus in the investment area will lead you to a
lot of disappointment and pain.

This is how we can map the life of an individual through the placement of 9 planets in different houses. No
planet is good or bad, it all depends on how we use them in accordance with their placement.

There is another form of alignment which is based on the signification of Rashi. However, in part A and part
B, we are focusing on the alignment based on the planets and house-based significations
