ROLE OF SUB LORD
1. A constellation may indicate many results, it is the sub who tells which result actually applies to the
individual. Broad predictions indicated by a constellation are specified by the sub.
2. Star lord refers to an object. Acquiring it or disposing off it depends upon Sub lord. Star shows a
particular matter, sub indicates whether there will be success or failure, progress or not, whether the
decision will be favourable or not. Lord of star may indicate many matters but sub eliminates many of them & specifies a particular matter. A planet is source for a matter. Whether it votes for the progress or prosperity of that matter depends upon the sub lord.
Example: Suppose a native is running dasa of Jupiter, which is a significator of the houses 5, 6, 9, 10 & 11th. Jupiter is in sub of Rahu, which is a significator of 1, 2, 5, 7 & 10. Since the sub lord is connected mainly with improving bhavas the overall dasa will be beneficial. But suppose the sub lord mainly signifies houses 8 &12, in that case despite Jupiter being the significator of improving bhava, it will not give good results.
If a planet is the significator of lagna bhava, it gives long life, success in attempts, it helps to maintain good health, provided this sub lord is not a significator of 6th , 8th or 12th. If the sub –lord of planet signifies 6th house it gives disease. If sub signifies 8th, one meets with danger and if 12th, one runs away or is imprisoned or is hospitalized. Therefore star- lord shows whom or which matter is referred to but the deciding factor, good or bad is shown by the sub occupied by the significator. This applies to all bhavas.
3. Of the houses 1 to 12 each house cuspal sub lord is the chief governor to offer the results for the respective houses. Whether matters of a house are to take place or not is decided by the cuspal sub lord of the house. If the sublord signifies favourable bhavas, the event will materialize and in case sublord is in the star, which negates the matter, then the event will not materialize.
4. Sub of the relevant cusp gives the results of the house occupied by its star lord. The sub lord of this sub lord should not be retrograde and must be in one of the relevant houses.
5. The cuspal sub lord determines the quantum of a bhava the planet sub lord determines the strength of a planet. The cuspal sub lords tell decisively the destiny of the native in each and every walk of life. The subs of planets do not change in small intervals of time, but cuspal sub lords may change even with the difference of one minutes in the birth time.
6. If the star lord of the sub lord of a cusp is the significator of the houses to be beneficial, then the sub is benefic.
7. if a bhava sub lord and the sub lord of this bhava’s badhakasthana bhava are same, then bhava matters, concerning relationship, are effected adversely e.g 3rd bhava is in sign Cancer in sub of Mars 1st bhava is 11th from 3rd (i.e. badhakasthana for Cancer sign). If 1st bhava sub lord is also Mars, they will be difference of opinion with the younger brother.
8. An important rule: See which are the planets whose constellations are not tenanted by any planet. These planets can be termed as “free or untenanted planets” .
i. See which cusps are in the sub of such free planets. These free planets become the strongest significators of those cusps, even if they negate the cusp by their position e. g 5th cusp sub lord is Rahu and there is no planet in any of the constellations of Rahu. So Rahu becomes strongest significators of 5th despite its position in 4th house.
ii. Suppose a planet “P” is in the sub of a free planet “M” i. e. free planet “M” is the sub lord of planet “P”. If “M” is a strong significator of a house , say 7, planet “P” becomes the strongest significator of house 7 being in the sub of a free planet who signifies 7 E.g. Mars is lord of 10th. Son Mars is a significator of 10th. Suppose no planet is posited in any of the constellations of Mars & Mars is in the sub of Jupiter. Jupiter also becomes the strongest significator of 10th even if Jupiter through multi- stellar theory may signify 9th.
9. In a nutshall:
i. If a planet is posited in a star, which is beneficial for the query, but the sub lord signifies houses inimical to the query, the matter will fall through ultimately.
ii If a planet is posited in a star, which is inimical for the query, but the sub lord signifies
houses beneficial to the query, the matter will be realized after some obstacles.
Iii If both star lord and the sub lord of the planet are beneficial for the query, full good
effects will be given by that planet.
Iv If both star lord and the sub lord of the planet are not beneficial for the query, the matter
will not materialize at all.
Therefore
1. Sign indicates the extent to which one can enjoy as it shows whether planet is strong or
weak, star lord gives the nature of the result according to occupation or ownership of houses. Sub decides whether that area is advantageous or not.
2. A planet signifies certain matters, which are indicated by the star lord. There may be other planets in the same star and so the matters signified by those planets will also be the same. However, the sub lord of the planet will indicate whether the planets will be helpful or harmful.
3. Planet is the source of an event, but star lord indicates the nature of result, and sub is the deciding factor whether the matter is favourable or not.
A planet in one particular star but evil sub indicates loss, difficulty or failure
whereas same planet in same star but in sub of a benefic promises gain and success and pleasure. Suppose star lord indicates matters of house 7th (marriage). The star in a malefic sub causes enmity and unhappiness in married life, but in a benefic sub brings harmony and happiness. If a planet indicates litigation, its sub tells victory or defeat. If star lord indicates business, its sub tells profits or loss....
