Abstract:
KP guides us to interpret horaryand natal charts in a scientific way. However in few cases we are not satisfiedin a unique answer on happening of an event. We want not only whether the eventwill happen but also a range from which the answer is expected. We areinterested to know the answers to the questions like, with what margin acontestant will win the election, how many seats a party will get in anelection, how many marks will be scored in an examination etc. This is a newfield for KP astrologers and Options Theory based on the ruling planetsprovides us the divine direction to pinpoint the right option.The theory is flexible and has lot of scope for new researches.
Krishnamurti Paddathi is a marvel propounded by our Guruji Prof Krishnamurti. It provides precise resultsfor Natal charts and for horary questions.However, some time the question is difficult to cast in the pattern, ‘whethera particular event will take place or not?’ and if yes ‘when?’ Krishnamurti Paddathiperfection in time charts and horary number queries is undisputed but sometimesthe choice is not binominal and there are many options. In such cases to find out which option willsuit the client or which option he is likely to get in case of multiple choicesis a challenge.
Options theory is based on theprinciple of ruling planets. As the option is a numerical choice, we need topick up the correct option from a range of options. Ruling Planets is themaster key of Krishnamurti Paddathi. Divine guidance never fails. Naturally,there must be is a way to convert these ruling planets to some number which canpinpoint the right option we are looking for. If we can convert the direction given by theruling planets to a Ruling Planet number which will connect to the options thenprobably we can predict the right choice. Let us think about the fields of applicability of this theory.
Once I was working on
a chart for a student who was interested in knowing whether he willpass or fail. For a KP astrologer it was an easy task. I considered the fourth house sub Lord andfound connection with fourth and 11th and undoubtedly I predicted that he isgoing to pass. The next question he asked is whether he will get 60% or 70%.Now this was a tricky question and I could not able to answer with theKP horary knowledge I have. In another similar incident, I was working on the prospects of TDP government in 1999elections in Andhra Pradesh. I casted the chart with the question in mind, whether TDP can form the government?This was a pretty simple case and I analyzed 6thand 11th sub lords in favor of TDP and 5th and 12thsub Lords in favor of Congress party. From the analysis of chart which was casted on 26th of August 1999 at 1704 hrs at Warangal the situation was clearly favorable to TDP to form a government.One of my officers was very curious to know the outcome and was insisting to find out how many seats TDP will get?Whether it will be a convincing the victory or it will be of thin margin case.
Certainlyregular principles did not help. I came across some write up about the numericaluse of ruling planets in a Marathi book1I feel the appropriate name tothis use of ruling planets for selection from a basket of options is ‘Options Theory’.
Methodology for Options
Theory:
Take the
ruling planets at the time of judgment without the rising star(Ascendant constellation lord)
1) Ascendant Lord
2) Moon starlord
3) Moon lord
4) Day lord
(Do not consider ruling planets which are deposited in retrograde stars)
In Natural zodiac the rasi numbers are allotted to the rasis as follows:
Aeries =1,Taurus =2, Gemini=3, Cancer =4 Leo =5, Virgo =6, Libra=7, Scorpio =8,Sagittarius =9, Capricorn =10, Aquarius =11, Pisces =12
For each of the RulingPlanets find out which rasis they own e.g. Jupiter owns Sagittarius and Pisces,Mars owns Aeries and Scorpio etc. Now, write-down the rasi numbers in front ofthe concerned starlord, rasilord or the day lord which they own.
(In case of Rahu & Ketu as RPs take therasi in which they are deposited).Sum all the rasi numbers noted against eachone of them. If the total is more than a single digit then add up the digits tomake it a single digit number (except in Rule 3 which is discussed later inthis article). Subtract this single digit number in multiples from the totaloptions till we get the remainder of a single digit. This remainder is thefinal choice which is indicated by the divine direction.I applied this theory to the problem in mindof finding out number of seats for the ruling party in 1999 general assemblyelections for Andhra Pradesh.
Sometimesoptions are known and sometime the options are to be taken by us to reach amargin which is acceptable to the client.For example in a lottery there are 10 types of prizes and the client is interestedto know which prize he will get then we need to find out which option isindicated by the ruling planets.On theother hand, in the present case we do not know the options. Election wasannounced for 293 seats and logically we can take 293 options.However,
the client is interested in a range and not in the exact number of
seats.For example in a cricket match we might be interested in knowing
whatrange of runs the batting side is likely to do? They are not interested in exact number of runs.Remember
the question which was asked by the student was whether he will get 60%
or 70%.Here there are two options, option one 60% and option two 70%.
If we'renot sure whether he will really get 60% then we can add option less than 60%,if we do not know whether he can get more than 70% then we can add anotheroption called as more than 70%.In that case we will have four options.
Case 1: How many seats ruling TDP party will get in 1999 assembly elections.
The officer hasgiven me the range of following seats in assembly election for TDP
Option No. 1. 225- 250 seats
Option No. 2. 200- 225 seats
Option No. 3. 175-200 seats
Option No. 4. 150-175 seats
He was confidentthe party will not get less than 150 and more than 250 seats.The ruling planets on 26th of August 1999 at1704 hrs at Warangal4 were,
Ascendant Lord Saturn,Moon Starlord was Mars, Moon Lord Saturn, Day lord was Jupiter.
Saturn ownsCapricorn
and Aquarius i.e. 10th and
11th Rasis. Jupiter owns Sagittarius and Pisces,
i.e. 9thof 12th rasis of the zodiac. Mars owns Aeries and Scorpio i.e. 1stand
8th rasis of the zodiac. Saturn was transiting
in the Bharani constellation and the owner Venus was retrograde.Mars was transiting in Visakha constellation and the owner Jupiter wasretrograde.
Ascendant Lord - Saturn( In retro star)
Moon Star Lord – Mars ( In retrostar)
Moon Lord – Saturn ( In retro star)
Day Lord – Jupiter = 9+12 =21
Hence, theruling planets which can be considered for the options theory is only Jupiter. The total of Jupiter rasis is 21
As the rasis totalis more than 9 we can add the individual digits 2 and 1 making it 3
The third option is indicated as the resultant option is less than the total no. of options
In the presentcase by the third option the TDP should get seats in the range of 175-200.In fact, TDP party won 180 seats in thatelection which is in the range of 175-200 as predicted by me.The Options theory is found successful.
As the singledigit RP no. is less than the options the choice was straightforward. However,in few cases the choice is not that simple and the number of options may bemore than single digit RP number or options may be less than the single digit RPnumber.In
such cases there is a variation in the simple rule mentioned above. All
the rules connected with the options theory are prepared below forreaders.
Rules-
1) If Options are 9 or less and the singledigit RP no. is less than the no. of options then single digit no. indicate the correct option straightaway.
(Single Digit RP no <=9)
e.g. in the Case1 above, no. of options = 4, single digit RP no. is 3 the result is choice oroption no. 3
2) If the options are 9 or less and lessthan the single digit RP number of the ruling planets
(Options < Single Digit RP no; options<=9)
e.g.Options = 4, single digit RP no. = 8. In suchcases,
Deduct the optionsfrom the single digit number repeatedly till youget a remainder which is less than the no. ofoptions. This remainder is the resultant option.In case it is zero then the answer is the last option.
In the abovecase as options are less than RP no. , deduct 4 from 8 and again 4 remains.Again deduct 4 from 4 and the remainder is Zero hence the choice is the lastoption.
3) If options are more than 9
Then take theruling planets total as it is and do not make it to single digit.
a) If the options are less than the RP total(options
Deduct theoptions from the RP total till we get a remainder.
e.g. 15 horsesare running in a race and the total of RP comes to 24 then do not make singledigit RP as 6 , instead, reduce 15 from 24 and the remainder is 9. Theremainder is the right option. i.e. 9th horse will win the race.
b) If RP total is less than or equal to options(RP total <=options) in this case the result is straightforward which isequal to the ruling planet number.
e.g. 15 horsesare running and the RP total is 12 then horse no. 12 will win.
4) If Rahu or Ketu are present in theruling planets, then take the numeric value of the rasis they are deposited inas the nodes represent their rasi lords.
5) Do not consider the Ruling planets whichare in the constellation of retrograde planets.
Case 2: Collector’s transfer where?
In yet anothercase my Collector was transferred out from Warangal and I was anxious to know whichposting he will get. From the expected posts for him I took options as follows.
1)Collector forKrishna District (He was expecting it)
2)Collector forVisakhapattanam District ( I was expecting for him)
3)Collector inany other district than the two mentioned (Likely if 1 and 2 is not possible)
4)M.D. of Dairy Development corporation
5)M.D. of AP Breweries corporation (Clear Vacancy)
6) Other field Assignment
7) Secretariat posting (Least possibility)
The question was
attempted at 8 AM on 14th April 2001 at
Warangal4. Theruling planets are
1)Ascendant Lord – Venus
2)Moon Star Lord– Venus
3)Moon Lord- Jupiter
4) Day lord -Saturn
Only Venus wasretrograde and Venus was not in retro star. None was in retro star and hencethe total is 9+9+21+21 = 60= 6+0 =6
The sixth optionis indicated. He got the posting as MD of AP State residential schools societywhich is a field posting as indicated as choice 6.He did not get Collector Krishna in spite ofgood track record and his wishes. See how clearly the ruling planets have givendivine direction through the options theory.
Case 3: When the Municipal Corporation willgo for elections?
I tried thistheory for binomial outcomes also. I was posted in Municipal Corporation of Hyderabadduring 2001 and there was no elected body since more than a decade. Every one was anxious toknow when the elections will be held for this corporation as there was a newsin the month of July that elections to be completed before the year end 2001.I was curious to know as it would havechanged the working equations in the corporation and also most of the officialsand non-officials were looking into the outcome of the court which was about todirect the holding of elections to the municipal body.
As there weretwo options only, I worked out as follows:
Option 1 = Elections will be held before Dec2001
Option 2 = Elections will be held after 31st Dec 2001
The rulingplanets on the question day and hour of 19th July 2001 at 0809 Hrs.at Hyderabad4 are
1)Ascendant Lord Sun =5
2)Moon Star Lord Rahu , Rahu was in Gemini =3
3)Moon Lord Mercury = 3+6 =9
4) Day Lord Jupiter = 21
None was in
retrograde star influence. Hence the total is 38 = 3+8 =11 = 1+1 =2
The second option is the answer which says the electionswill not held before the year end. The court direction has finally come in thesame month which stated that the elections to be conducted inJan/Feb of 2002. It was amazing to many asthey were sure that the election process will certainly begin in the year 2001only.
Case 4: Where I will be posted as DistrictCollector?
I was about to beposted as District Collector in the month of September 2004.Someone told me that I will be posted toAdilabad district as Collector and District Magistrate.My family was anxious to know if it is correctas it was related to children schooling issue (My son was in X class duringthis period). As per the vacancy that time and as per information to me I put my options as
Option 1 = Khammam (Most probable as per my knowledge)
Option 2 = Guntur
Option 3= Kurnool
Option 4 = Adilabad
The rulingplanets on the September 14th , 2004 at 9.15 AM at Hyderabad are
Ascendant Venus =9
Moon Star lord Venus =9
Moon Lord Sun =5
Day lord Mars =9
Total =32 =3+2 =5
The fifth option.As there are only four options use the Additional Rule 1 i.e. weneed to deduct the options from the single digit total which will give me theremainder 1 , i.e. the first option.
I was posted asDistrict Collector at Khammam on 19th September 2004
Case 5: Which team will win the First 20-20cricket world cup?
India wasmaking good progress in world cup cricket 20-20 tournament and the hopes of weIndian came alive when we reached the finals. We were eager to know if we canreplicate the history of 1983 in this smaller version of the game. I attemptedthe question on 24th September 2007 at 0851Hrs. at Hyderabad India
There
are two choices 1. India will win. 2. Pakistan will win. I did not take
the third possibility of draw because the match willhave some outcome on the basis of free hits etc. and in such close fightingmatches outcome of draw is not expected by me.
1. INDIA will win
2. PAKISTAN will win
According to the ruling planets at 8:51 a.m. on 24th of September at Hyderabad4 are
Ascendant Lord is Venus, Moon’s star Lord is Mars, Moon's rasi Lord is Saturn, and Day Lord is moon itself.
The sum of their rasis:
Lagna Lord Venus:2+7=9
Moon starlord Mars:1+8=9
Moon sign lord Saturn: 10+11=21
Day lord Moon : 4
Total = 43
Making it into a single digit as the choices are only within single digit number: 4+3 =7
Total choices are only two andthe single digit RP numbers is seven hence apply Rule 2 mentioned above. Weneed to deduct multiples of choices from this number to arrive at the remainderchoice. Deducting No. 2 three times from seven the remainder is 1 and hence thefirst
choice that is Indiawill win is indicated very clearly. I posted the prediction based on theoptions
theory on 24th morning on our
yahoogroups2. The match was held in the
24thevening between and Pakistan.The outcome was attempted by three different methods and published in Novemberissue of KP e-Zine3
All of you are aware that India won 20-20 tournament against Pakistan and lifted the 20-20-World Cup.
Case
6:Registration No. for Hero Honda motorbike.
After introductionof Options theory by me to the KP forum, there is good feedback and our activemember Sri Balaji tried it out immediately. His friend wanted to buy a HeroHonda motorbike and is interested to know the registration number single digittotal.
Narration by Balaji:
One of my colleagues has Purchased a new Hero Honda Motor cycle and
asked me what could be his Registration No i.e total. Immediately I asked him
put his preference number between 1 to 9. He gave his options in
this order 6, 4, 3, 1, 7, 9, 2, 8, 5.
On 10/09/2007 at 4.25pm at Hyderabad4 I took a chart.
Ascendant Sign Lord is Saturn 10 +11 = 21
Moon Sign Lord is Sun = 5
Moon star in owned by Leo(Sun) = 5
Day Lord is Monday - Moon = 4
total = 35 Hence 8
Hence I selected the 8th option of his above preference that is
No.8. Then I told him that the total of Registration No. will sum up to No.8.
My colleague got his Registration No. which is 9881 adding up to
single digit 8. The choice is indicated perfectly.
Case 7: Which car I will buy?
Mr. Balaji has put a question on forum yahoo groups ‘, whether his boss will by a car out offour options in his mind’. Mr. OVN Murthy an active member of our forum triedit out immediately and in his words the following is narrated.The question was put on October, 25th2007
Narration by OVN Murthy:
Sri R Balaji has put a question tothe forum regarding his boss for purchase of a car with four options, for whichI am writing now the answer as per the Ruling Planets method which wasdiscussed by us in the KPAF and also various examples given by Sri RajendraNimje IAS.,on this point. Mr. Balaji’s Director (He is a vedic & KP astrologer),wants to purchase a new car and he has got four options.
1. Chevrolet U-VA
2. Palio Stile SLX
3. Getz Prime
4. Maruti Zen Estilo
The question was seen on 27.10.2007 at 1.49pm at Hyderabad4.
The Ruling planets are.
Asc. is MakaraSaturn10+11=21=3
Moon in Venus star 2+7=9
Moon in Mesha Mars 1+8= 9
DaySaturday10+11=21=3
Asc. Makara star Mars 1+8 = 9
Total:69.=6+9=15= 1+5=6 /4 OPTIONS. =REMINDER 2 ND OPTION.
PALIO STYLE SLX
The result came on November 24th, 2007 almost after one month of putting thequestion. Director of Mr. Balaji has booked PALIO STYLE SLX and not any other car from the options given. Theefficacy of the Options Theory is proved beyond a point. [Author: Mr. OVN Murthy has consideredAscendant star lord in the RP and considered the total. Options theory does notinclude the Ascendant star lord for totaling. However, see the divine directionin this case. Even if you exclude the Ascendant star lord ,total of Mars ,9should have been deducted and the RP total will be 60 which means 6+0 = 6 andsixth options i.e. 6-4= 2 the second option only in included]
The issue which was inadvertently flagged in this case was later discussed by Mr. SunilGondhalekar from Maharashtra with me. He waspointing to the use of ascendant starlord in options theory.I feel that the best way to develop optionstheory is to experiment. Let us try to include and also exclude, document theresults and see in few cases what the result is.
Overall, the options theory has proved its might and is very useful when we do not wantoutcome in yes or no & when type of standards queries.This options theory is very simple to use andapplicable to various real life situations right from getting marks in aparticular examination, scoring number of runs in a particular match, choosinga place of posting, working out the range of votes or seats in an election, choosingthe company among various companies offering a job, choosing a bride orbridegroom from a list of probable, the list is un-ending.
However, a few members did not get results in spite of their best effortI feel the options theory isbased on ruling planets and ruling planets being a divine direction has to beused sparingly and only when there is a real urge. I am very confident thatwhen ruling planets are helping us in getting pinpointing results on timing theevent upto minutes and seconds, then the theory based on the same rulingplanets must work correctly and offer positive results.
Readers are requested to experiment and refine this theory.As mentioned above the first question is whether we should include theascendant starlord or not for the purpose of options theory.Thesecond issue is linked to retrograde planets.As there are various versions on the use ofretrograde planets in Krishnamurti Paddhati the results for options theory willalso vary being dependent on the outcome of retrograde planets use.I personally choose the option given by ourbeloved
Guruji Prof K. S. Krishnamurti that those ruling planets in
the retrograde constellation will not give results. Some astrologers however do not consider ruling planets which are retrogradethemselves. Some other astrologers do not consider ruling planets which are inthe sub of a retrograde planet. Few others won’t mind taking all Ruling Planetseven if they are in retro constellation or sub or they are retrograde. Thereare discussions on the use of Jupiter as benefic for examination and allottingmore numbers than the rasis indicate.However, there is no documentation in how many cases the general rule isviolated and in how many cases Jupiter need to given the special treatment.
Options theory as I call it is in a developing stage and inputs from readers will refine andprecipitate the rules which will be available universally for KPastrologers.I would like to thank our active forum members Sri Balaji and Sri OVN Murthy for sharing theirexperiences.
I conclude this article by offering my prayers to Lord Ganesha and Guruji K. S. Krishnamurti Ji.
Good Luck!
Rajendra Nimje, IAS
