Using ruling planets

The ruling planets are the sign, star and sub lords of the rising degree (Lagna) and of the Moon at this moment, plus the lord of the day (counted from sunrise). In KP, planets that appear among the ruling planets and also signify the relevant houses are considered the ones that will deliver the result.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the ruling planets change so quickly?

The Lagna moves about one degree every four minutes, so its sub lord can change within minutes.

Does the day lord change at midnight?

No — in the Vedic reckoning the day starts at local sunrise.
