Four Step Theory
Four Step Theory
Four Step Theory
Four Step Theory deals about planet and it result signifying capability in first
step.
3rd step is about Sub Lord of planet and its result signifying capability.
4th step is about Star Lord of planet’s sub lord, which is taken as end result
indicator.
In short this theory advocates that a Planet gives result on the strength of
itself, its star lord, sub lord and star lord of sub lord.
In KP sub lord is taken as end result indicator while in this theory Star Lord
of sub lord is taken as end result indicator.
First Step
Rule 1:
(b) In above case, that planet becomes strong significator of its owned
house/s, provided there are no other planets in that house. Otherwise, it will
be weak or secondary significator of that house.
(c) If there are other planets in the stars of a planet, it becomes weak or
secondary significator of both the house it resides in and of the houses it
owns.
Second Step
Rule 2:
A planet gives the results indicated by its star lord. So the house occupied by
this star lord is strongly signified, even if there are other planets in that
house. That planet will become strong significator of house owned if the
houses are vacant. Otherwise, it will be weak or secondary significator of
that house.
Third Step
Rule 3:
Planet’s Sub Lord has capacity to give results. This Sub Lord becomes strong
significator or secondary significator of house as per the rule-1.
Fourth Step
Rule 4:
Star Lord of Sub acts as indicator and decider of end result of particular
event.
Rule 5:
Rule 6:
Rule 7:
When Rahu / Ketu is the star lord of a planet / sub, then it gives results of
conjunction / aspect / star lord / sign lord in ascending order.
Rahu or Ketu are strong as star Lords. As planet, Rahu or Ketu are strong in
a house if no one is tenanting in their star. Else, they are weak. Rahu and
Ketu represent Rashi Lord, star lord and Planets in Conjunction, and Planets
aspecting them. If Rahu or Ketu are strong then the represented planets are
also strong.
Rule 8:
The event will materialize only when Dasha, Bhukti and Antara jointly
strongly signify main and supporting houses.
Rule 9:
If planet is totally negating the relative event's houses on step 3 – 4 then the
Dasha will not fructify the matter. If planet is the Cuspal sub lord then the
event will never happen.
Rule 10:
For transit, only two steps are considered. Sub Lord or Sub’s Star Lord is not
considered.
For timing the event, check the transit of the Star Lord, Bhukti Lord, Antara
Lord and also Sun, Moon and Ascendant
Tips-1:
For chart analysis, single out the planets who are in their own star. Also find
out planets in whose star there is no other planet. Find out the significator of
all planets through four step theory including conjunction, special
signification through Rahu and Ketu and also planets which are on the cusp.
Tips-2:
Use strong significator, Leave weak significator. Weak Significators are not
used even if they are linked to the houses under consideration.
Tips-3:
If the sub Lord of primary house is in the star that is not retrograde and
signifies either primary house or supporting houses then than the answer is
positive.
