"Madam, though Venus govern your desires, Saturn is dominator over mine. "
- William Shakespeare, - "Titus Andronicus"

In KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) astrology, each planet represents specific significations and has its unique influence on various aspects of life. Unlike traditional Vedic astrology, where planets are considered to be primarily associated with particular zodiac signs, KP astrology uses a sub-divisional approach based on the Nakshatras (lunar constellations) in which these planets are placed. Here are the significations of each planet in KP astrology:

Sun (Surya):

• Soul, self-confidence, leadership, government, authority, father, government jobs, and political power.

Moon (Chandra):

• Mind, emotions, mother, general public, popularity, female-related matters, and fluctuating nature.

Mars (Mangal):

• Energy, courage, determination, siblings, land, property, engineering, military, and accidents.

Mercury (Budha):

• Intellect, communication, business, trade, education, analytical abilities, siblings, and diplomacy.

Jupiter (Guru):

• Wisdom, knowledge, wealth, growth, spirituality, higher education, law, and religious beliefs.

Venus (Shukra):

• Love, beauty, arts, creativity, romance, luxury, marriage, fine arts, and pleasures.

Saturn (Shani):

• Discipline, hard work, delays, obstacles, responsibility, longevity, and suffering.

Rahu (North Node of the Moon):

• Ambition, desires, illusion, foreign travel, sudden events, and unconventional pursuits.

Ketu (South Node of the Moon):

• Spirituality, detachment, mysticism, occult sciences, and past life influences.

In KP astrology, the specific significations of each planet are determined based on the Nakshatra it occupies or rules. The planets' sub-lords play a vital role, allowing astrologers to make accurate predictions and provide insights into various life events.

It's important to note that the effects of planets can be positive or negative depending on their positioning, aspects, and the houses they influence in a birth chart. The overall analysis of the entire birth chart is essential to understand the complex interplay of planetary influences and their impact on an individual's life.
