Order of Signification

In any horoscope, Cusp is of Utmost Importance, and that is because the sign is on the cusp of each house. Every planet occupies a sign and the strength of that planet is ,according to the 3 basic signs. These are:
1) Planet's own sign
2) Planet's exaltation sign
3) Planet's debilitation sign

Thus, in a way the occupant of the sign is stronger than the owner of the sign(Do take care of this thing, as it is very important in making predictions).

If we divide the 360 degree zodiac belt, we can say that every sign is 1/12th part of the zodiac belt. Also, I would like to mention that the Power and Importance of Constellations can never be neglected as they are stronger than the sign itself. Thus, a planet in the star is stronger than its Star Lord (which may be either the occupant or the owner of the sign). The occupant (planet) in a sign mostly gives the results of the house occupied by it. So the planet in the star better gives the results of the house occupied by its Star Lord.

According to the above principles by Late. Prof. Shri. KSK the order or strength of the significators of each house should be determined by:

1. Planet in the Occupants Star:

A planet in the star of the occupant of a house is stronger than the occupant. So it should be given first preference as a significator of that house, because it is strongest to give the results of the house occupied by its Star lord. The occupant remains as a weak significators of that house.

2. Occupant:

If there is no planet in the occupants Star, the occupant becomes the strong significator of that house and it is strong to give the results of that house. So the second preference should be given to the occupant of that house.

3. Planet in the Owners Star:

If the house is vacant, the planet in the star of the owner of a house is stronger than the owner. So it becomes a strong significator of that house and it is strong to give the results of that house. Hence the third preference should be given to the planet in the owners star and the owner remains a weak significator of that house.

4. Owner:

If the house is vacant and if there is no planet in the owners star, the owner itself becomes the strong significator of that house and it is strong to give the results of that house. So the 4th preference should be given to the owner of that house.

5. Planet in Conjunction Or Aspect:

(a) A planet in conjunction or association with, or aspected by a significator gives the results of the house or houses denoted by that significator. So the last preference should be given to the planet in conjunction or aspect with that significator.

(b) A planet aspecting the house may be considered as the significator of that house.

6. A planet in the star of the planet aspecting the house. For example: Say Saturn in the 5th aspects the 7th, 11th, and 2nd. So the planet in the star of Saturn will give the results of the 2nd, 7th, and 11th.
