Correct Time of Birth Possible Only in K.P. System

One of my Friend’s friend approached us to know his correct time of birth and then wanted to
erect his chart accurately. He told us that he was born between 2:00 a.m and 7:00 a.m. on
16th September, 1960. The duration is 5 hrs. Here we come across three lagans i.e. Karka,
Sima and Kanya. At first we have to select one lagna among these three. For that, we need
the help of Ruling Planets.
On 25th Feb 2008 at 06:38:25 hours we have taken the case for judgment. The chart is
appended herewith.

The Lagna is Simha ruled by Ravi. Lagna starlord is Sukra. Lagna sublord is Rahu. The Moon
star was Chitra ruled by Kuja. Day lord is Chandra. So, the ruling planets at the time of
judgment are Rahu, Sukra, Ravi, Kuja and Chandra. Sani and Ketu are aspected by Ravi. So
we have to include them also into RPs’ list. Kuja aspects Guru and Sukra is with Budha. Thus
all the nine planets are seen as ruling planets. So we have to filter and eliminate some of
these planets by their strength and weakness.

Chandra is weak as he is the day lord. Budha is only a second rate R.P. So these signs of
Chandra (Karka) and Budha (Kanya) may be ignored as lagna. So we can fix Simha as birth
lagna.
At the time of judgment Ravi as lagna lord is in Kumbha and aspects Simha. The sublord
Rahu is with lagnalord.

Let us observe the position of Ravi. He is in Sani rasi, Rahu star and sani sub and aspected by
sani staying in simha. So firmly we can fix Simha as birth lagna.

Now we can proceed to fix the lagna star lord. Sukra is the star lord among RPs. He is found
as the sign lord and sub lord level. As he was found three times Venus can be taken as star
lord at the time of birth.
Now we proceed to find the sub lord. As Rahu is with Budha he may occupy the position of
sub lord and as Rahu is with Sun he becomes the sub-sub lord. So we can fix the time of birth
a 16-09-1960 at 5:43:26 a.m., which is appended herewith.

Let us check the horoscope. At the time of birth also the lagna is Simha. There we see Ravi,
Budha, and Sukra. The subsub lord Rahu is in Ravi rasi Sukra star and Rahu sub. Rahu is the
representative of Ravi. Sani the star lord of that time aspects the lagna starlord Sukra.

Let us check the main life events. If we find any relationship between the marriage date and
2,7,11 bhavas of the native’s chart, we can confirm the chart is very correct. The native got

married on 15th Feb 1984. Then running dasa is Budha (maha), Sukra (vidasa), Rahu
(antarvidasa), and Sukra (sukshma). Here in this chart all the planets signify 2,7,11 houses.
So again, on another day i.e., 9.3.2008 at 4:2:55 p.m. we sought for ruling planets.

Moon sign, star and sub lords are Guru, Budha, Budha. Lagna sign, star, sub lords are
Chandra, Budha and Sani. Day lord is Sun.

Thus the ruling planets at that time are Chandra, Budha, Sani, Guru and Ravi. Sani is in
retrograde motion. Sukra and Rahu are conjoined with Budha. And Budha is 7th cusp sub
lord. We observed that Budha mahadasa, Sukra vidasa and Rahu pratyantara at the time of
marriage.
Let us examine the first child birth time. He was blessed with a son on 14 of November, 1987.
We have to check the coincidence of 2,5 and 11 bhavas with child birth time. Already we
mentioned the RPs. at the time of judgment. The running dasa at child birth time belongs to
Budha, Chandra, Ravi and Chandra. Dasa lord Budha is 11th Cusp sub lord. The bhukti and
Sookshma lord Chandra is Guru sign. The vidasa lord Ravi is in Guru star.
Thus, the coincidence of these to major events also confirm queriest’s time of birth as 5:43:26
a.m. on 16.09.1960.
