SUB LORDs of Significators
In the earlier articles, we have learnt that a Planet A ruling
the sub division of the constellation which Planet B occupies is
known as the Sub Lord of Planet B. Now Planet B is a significator
of the house occupied by its star lord (say Planet C). For an
example, we will say that Planet C occupies the 10th cusp. So we
say that Planet B is in the star of Planet C and hence B is a
significator of the 10th Bhaava in the native's chart. Now, Planet
B is in the SUB of Planet A. This Planet A becomes the supreme
deciding factor to state whether Planet B does good with respect to
the effects of the 10th house or does bad to the native with
respect to the effects of the 10th house. The question is how do we
conclude what will happen?
This is where, Guruji has enlightened us and many great luminary
authors like Late Shri K.M.Subramaniam have time and again
reiterated the following:
"Before deciding on whether the effects of Planet B will be
beneficial to the native or not, look into the "significations" of
the SUB lord - Planet A. That is check what bhaavas are signified
by Planet A. Suppose Planet A signifies the 11th bhaava; it
empowers Planet B to give great results with respect to the matters
signified by the 10th house. However, if the Planet A signifies the
9th bhaava (which is 12th to the 10th), or the 8th or 12 bhaavas,
then Planet B is rendered powerless and does only harm to the
native in terms of the matters indicated by the 10th house."
Thus, the significations of the Sub Lord are of paramount
importance and NO PREDICTION SHOULD BE OFFERED WITHOUT TAKING THIS
INTO PROPER CONSIDERATION. If the Sub lord of the significator is
harmonious to the matters indicated by the star lord, then the
significator showers great results. However, if the Sub lord is
detrimental to the same matters, then the significator only harms
the native with respect to concerned matters.
Thus, in conclusion, the Star Lord shows what results are to be
expected from a significator. But it is the Sub Lord who is the
final judge, passing the decree as to whether the results are
favorable or unfavorable.
