At this moment, Rahu was in Aquarius, so Rahu represents Saturn. Ketu was in Leo,

so Ketu represents the Sun. So the Ruling Planets ( ) are Sun, Moon, Mercury,

Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

The Ruling Planets at birth line up with the Ruling Planets at the time of judgment:

Jupiter at birth is in the Star of Saturn, the Ruling Planet at at the time of judgment.

Ascendant at Birth is 12 Capricorn 25, so it is jointly ruled as under:

Ascendant at Birth is 12 Degrees Capricorn

The Sign Lord, Star Lord, and Sub Lord of the Ascendant at the time of birth agree

with the Ruling Planets at the time of judgment, while the Sub Sub Lord of the

Ascendant at the time of birth is in the Star of Saturn - the Ruling Planet at the time of

judgment.

So in this case, the Ruling Planets, both at the time of judgment and the time of birth,

line up. The joint rulers of the Ascendant at the time of birth also correspond to the

Ruling Planets at the time of judgment. So the birth time is .

2. In doubtful cases where times for the birth are given, proceed as follows:

Note the Sign Lord, Star Lord, Sub Lord, and Sub Sub Lord of the Ascendant at the

time of birth for the given times.

The case in which the Sign Lord, Sub Lord, and Sub Sub Lord of the Ascendant agree

with the Ruling Planets at the of judgment is the accepted time in cases like that, so

accept that birth time and reject the other.

3. In cases where the approximate interval of the birth time is given,,for example, from

2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, 10:00 AM to Noon, 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, etc. proceed as follows:

Note the Ruling Planets at the

According to the date of birth, you should fix the probable sign of the Ascendant in

which the birth have taken place.

Generally the sign owned by any one of the Ruling Planets will be rising in the

Ascendant, or the sign occupied by Rahu or Ketu if it is a Ruling Planet, will be rising in

the Ascendant.

Then select the Star Lord and Sub Lord etc., suitable to this Sign from the Ruling

Planets, bearing in mind the order of of RP's as listed above, and also the

importance of Rahu and Ketu.

Find out the on this sign on which the Sign Lord, Star Lord, Sub Lord,

It should be remembered that each planet governs three Nakshatra's,

. For example: Venus governs 13 degrees 20' to 26 degrees 40'

in Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius as its stars. So the Ruling Planet of any particular

moment will operate as a Star Lord in three different Signs. Therefore, it will be

difficult as to which Sign should be selected for fixing the time of birth. It is necessary

that the approximate time of birth should be ascertained as to whether it is between

Sunrise and Noon, between Noon and Sunset, between Sunset and Midnight, or

Midnight and Sunrise.

At the , if any planet is found in the Ascending sign, or if a planet is in

opposition to the Ascendant, then the planet plays an important role in fixing the time

of birth. This planet should be given importance as a , especially if the

planet conjoins or aspects any of the RP's.
