BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA In this research study, we will look at the astrological mechanism to make sense of twin births, whose life-patterns are different, through the means of KP techniqueand Vedic astrology. These days, it has become a common misunderstanding thatKrishnamurthy Paddhati (KP) technique alone can solve such mysteries. The factis that, not only KP technique, but also the eon-old Vedic astrology is capable of offering precise prediction. However, in Vedic astrology, we will require to look into

higher order Divisional charts to decipher the life-meaning of twins and not theRasi chart alone.

Twin births have always attracted the fancy of astrologers and common people,because it has been empirically observed that even though the children are bornwith a few minutes of difference, the life-patterns have been radically quitedifferent. Examples galore, where one of the children has become a doctor andanother a high school drop-out or one has become a businessman and anothercould not manage a job for him. Traditional Rasi chart will never reflect anydifference in the planetary patterns including the Lagna, which will also remainsame, excepting a few minutes of arc difference. As a result, it is next to impossiblefor anyone to decipher the charts of twins, triplets, or even quadruplets with highdegree of accuracy, until one goes into deeper realms of astrological analysis.

KP in brief Contrary to popular belief, both the KP technique and Vedic astrology have quitewell established methods, to analyze birth charts of twins. For KP technique, themethod is self-sustaining, wherein the technique is so fine-tuned that even a few

minutes of birth time difference can pinpoint different results. Whereas for Vedicastrology, the Rasi chart also known as the D-1 chart, is just a primaryrepresentation of planetary configuration. In D-1, a Lagna remains in a Rasi forroughly 120 minutes, which means for twins, the two horoscopes are just the same.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

Since the Indian Independence, very few path-breaking researches have happenedin the realm of Indian astrology. Even though there are only very little original

researches coming from different regions of India, it is only three individuals whohave made an impact pan India, when it comes to original path-breaking researchin astrology. The first among them is late R. Gopalakrishna Row, popularly knownas ‘Meena I’, who wrote three volumes of ‘Nadi Jyotisha’ published from erstwhileMadras in 1954. Almost after another decade, the world received another path-breaking set of two books by late K.S. Krishnamurthy on an inventive methodcalled as Krishnamurthy Paddhati (KP). The last-path breaking books appeared in1969 from Madras by late H.R. Sheshadri Iyer, having the title of his book as ‘NewTechniques of Prediction. Row’s and Iyer’s original books are now available, onlywith very senior astrologers and collectors of books. It is in Iyer’s book whereentirely novel approaches to judge Divisional charts were provided with respect toVedic astrology. In Krishnamurthy’s books, the very system was radically a newone.

For those readers, who are not much acquainted with the KP technique, let meexplain here briefly. In KP, the only system of house-division followed is thePlacidus (also called as the Semi-Arc) System of house-division. In this system of house-division, the birth or the horary chart is casted according to the preciselatitude and longitude of the native or the place where the astrologer is sitting for

analysis (if it is a horary chart). In the Placidus system of house division, all the 12houses may not be of equal length (longitude). It may so happen that some housesmay be more than 30° in length, whereas some houses are less than 30° in length.Moreover, it may also happen that there are two houses or bhavas in one zodiacsign and a sign which does not hold any house cusp. KP astrology interprets‘bhava’ or house results primarily on the basis of the house cuspal sublords and thesublord’s stellar or constellational significations. And the planetary effects aredetermined by the planets’ occupancy in a particular star and a sub division withinthat star. K. S. Krishnamurthy divided each Nakshatra or star of 13 degree 20minutes into further 9 sub-divisions based on unequal proportion of theVimshottari Dasa system. This sub-division of a star is popularly called as ‘SUB’ inKP system. So, Sri K.S. Krishnamurti’s sub-division of a star into 9 smaller partswas made on the basis of the above unequal proportions of the VimshottariMahadasa. Thus, a star of 800 minutes (alternatively 13 deg 20 mins) was sub-divided into 9 unequal parts in the following manner:

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

Ketu sub: (800 X 7)/120 = 46 mins 40 secsVenus sub: (800 X 20)/120 = 2 deg 13 mins 20 secs

Sun sub: (800 X 6)/120 = 40 minsMoon sub: (800 X 10)/120 = 1 deg 6 mins 40 secsMars sub: (800 X 7)/120 = 46 mins 40 secsRahu sub: (800 X 18)/120 = 2 degJupiter sub: (800 X 16)/120 = 1 deg 46 mins 40 secsSaturn sub:(800 X 19)/120 = 2 deg 6 mins 40 secsMercury sub: (800 X 17)/120 = 1 deg 43 mins 40 secs

One can easily note that Sun has the smallest arc sub-division. As we all know thatthe Lagna is the fastest moving parameter in the horoscope covering 30 degrees in120 minutes. Therefore, to cross the smallest sub 40 minutes of arc of Sun, theLagna will take approximately 2 minutes 36 seconds. This means, KP technique iscapable of highlighting different birth life patterns of twins born in a time intervalof 2 minutes 36 seconds. So, accuracy of birth time holds immense importance inKP.

On the other hand, contrary to popular belief, Vedic astrology is also equallycapable of handling twin birth life-patterns with same ease and elan as that of KP.

Many advocates of KP point out the supremacy of KP, by wrongly citing Vedicastrology’s incapability of handling twin births. Such misguided opinions areformed by them, because large majorities of such people have no formal training inVedic astrology. So, they think that Vedic astrology is just the ‘Rasi and Navamsacharts’. The fact is that Vedic astrology is as equally capable of handling twin birthlife-patterns as do KP. KP is a different method of prediction just as Parasara orJaimini are different systems of prediction. KP as well as these Vedic systems usethe same 9 planets, 12 Rasis and bhavas, and the 27 stars in the Nirayana zodiac.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

The age old Magnum Opus‘Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra’ (BPHS) of Maharshi Parasara is undoubtedly the

magnum opus of Vedic astrology, along with Jaimini Maharshi’s ‘UpadeshaSutram’. Now it is beyond anyone’s doubt that these two were not ordinarymortals, but highly evolved Sages. Can these two sages ignore twin-births?Definitely they cannot, because the phenomenon of twin-birth is as old as humanexistence. Therefore, it is but natural that they might have devised some scheme,through which twin-births can be analyzed.

The scheme advocated by the Sages and commentators of Vedic astrology to look into finer details of horoscopy is known as the ‘Varga’. Maharshi Parasaraadvocated the 16-Divisional horoscope scheme, derived from the Rasi chart calledas the ‘Shodasa Vargas’, which is most commonly used for predictive astrology.Similarly, there are other Varga schemes known as ‘Shad Vargas’ (6 divisionalchart scheme), ‘Sapta Varga’ (7 divisional chart scheme) and the ‘Dasa Varga’ (10divisional chart scheme), which have been advocated by many others such asKalyana Varma of Saravali, Mantreshwar of Phaladeepika, among others. TheseDivisional charts are 60 in number, categorized in 5 levels of consciousness orhuman existence. There are also Divisional charts that deal with higher realms of spiritual and esoteric factors of human life which run from the 72nd divisionalchart to the 300th. However, not all numbers of these Divisional charts are used.

For those readers, who do not understand the concept of Divisional charts, let meenumerate it briefly here. A Rasi chart (D-1 or Divisional Chart 1) maps out the 9planets in 30 degree span of each Rasi. But the exact degree occupied by a planet ina particular type of Rasi in D-1 gives rise to its mapping in other Divisional charts.So, D-2 or Hora chart is based on 15 degree mapping scheme, Navamsa (D-9) isbased on 3 degree 20 minutes (30 degree of a Rasi divided by 9) mapping scheme,Siddhamsa (D-24) is based on dividing the Rasi of 30 degrees by 24. Thus, on apractical predictive level, the most granular divisional chart in the Varga scheme isthe Shashtyamsa (D-60), where the Divisional chart is mapped according to 30minutes of Rasi chart. This means that the Rasi chart of 30 degrees is made into 60parts of 30 minutes each. The method to calculate Shashtyamsa is to multiply thedegree of the planet in the Rasi chart with 2 and divide it by 12 and add 1 with theremainder. (Readers who use astrology software will find this D-60 coming as astandard output). This D-60 is thus capable of capturing life-patterns of twins, whoare born at a time interval of 2 minutes. This is because the lagna takes 2 minutesto travel an arc of 30 minutes in the Zodiac.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

Therefore, ACCURACY OF BIRTH TIME IS AS EQUALLY IMPORTANT INVEDIC ASTROLOGY, AS IT IS IN KP.

Understanding the astrological cluesIn KP, the rules of analysis of a horoscope are uniform and standard. They apply toindividual horoscope in the same manner as they apply to twins, triplets orquadruplets. KP technique starts its analysis of a birth horoscope, by looking at theconcerned house cuspal sublord. For example, if the first marriage of a person isanalyzed, then in KP, one looks at the cuspal sublord of the 7th house cusp and thestarlord and sublord occupied by this cuspal sub lord. These 3 planets will showtheir significations, which is then synthesized along with the Dasa-Bhukti-Antara togive the final prediction. It is therefore, very much likely that twins will havedifferent cuspal sublords in majority of their house cuspal positions, therebyexplaining the different life-patterns of twins.

To analyze twin horoscopes in KP technique, I have devised a common-sensemethod:

1. First, cast the two horoscopes with Placidus house division and KP OldAyanamsa

2. Look at the house cuspal sublords of the two horoscopes and find out thosecuspal sublords, which are different. The houses, for which the cuspal sublords willbe different, show the primary matters of which the life-patterns will be different.

3. Analyze each of the house cuspal sublords for the two horoscopes and check theirsignifications. If significations vary between the two horoscopes, then there will bequalitative differences in the life-patterns pertaining to that house.

In Vedic astrology, the interpretation mechanism of Divisional charts has howeverremained a secret with many famous astrologers of India. It is only authors likeH.R. Sheshadri Iyer who not only bared it all, but also gave out practical secrets of interpreting Divisional charts. Various ‘Gharanas’ (traditional astrology families)of India have also guarded this beautiful and highly effective technique frombecoming public knowledge. In this article, I will share with the readers one suchrule, which has remained as an ‘open secret’ to many practicing astrologers of India and abroad.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

To analyze twin horoscopes with Vedic astrology, it is an open secret that:

1. One should cast the Shashtyamsa (D-60) chart and obtain the planetaryconfiguration in that. The logic behind taking D-60 Varga chart is that this showsthe cause of re-birth in this life. That is, this chart carries the potential to makesense of Karmic happenings in this life.

2. Interpret this chart with respect to a particular aspect of life in the normalmanner, as one does in a Rasi chart.

3. On very rare occasion, super-imposition of the D-60 chart can be made upon theRasi chart, when life events seem to elude explanation. Astounding results can befound in this modified approach (Not discussed in this article).

Case StudiesWe will now look at some case studies and interpret the twin horoscopes based onKP as well as the D-60 chart. For brevity of space, we will have the two D-60 chartsof the twins and the two house cuspal tables according to KP technique for eachpair of twins, along with the birth data. Readers interested for further studies cancast the full horoscopes and analyze various types of astrological facets. For all thetwin data, the author wishes to thank Sri N.N. Sharma for his book Interpreting

Divisional Charts: An Innovative approach through the destinies of twins publishedby Vani Publications, Delhi edited by Sri Deepak Bisaria and guided by Sri K.N.Rao. Sri Sharma has been very kind enough to permit me, using the birth data of twins for this article.

Case-study 1: This case belongs to twin sisters, born with 2 minutes of birth-timedifference on 16th July, 1961 at 4:00pm and 4:02 pm in Lucknow, India. Sister 1Ais having two sons and is a housewife and sister 1B is a working professional,having two daughters.

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

As one can see, there is 100% similarity in the Rasi chart of the two sisters, but theD-60 chart is totally different. Let us look into D-60, just like natal horoscope of the

two sisters. Sister 1A has two sons, but Sister 1B has two daughters. In D-60 of 1A,5th house is a male sign whereas in D-60 of 1B, the 5th house is a female sign. Whytwo children? The 5th lord in Rasi chart of both the sisters is Jupiter. Jupiter is inthe star of Moon. This Moon in D-60 chart of both is in a dual sign with dual planetMercury!! Similarly, in D-60 of Sister 1A, 10th lord Mercury is in the 4th house of ‘home’ aspected by the 4th lord Jupiter, showing that 1A will be a housewife. But inD-60 of 1B, 10th lord Venus is in the 2nd house of wealth and D-60 lagna isaspected by 11th lord (income) Mars from the 6th house of job. No wonder 1B is aprofessional.

Let us also look at the KP cuspal Tables of houses for the above two sisters, whichare given below.

As one can see that many cuspal sublords are different, in this case, the 5th cuspsublord is same for both the sisters, which is Saturn. (Now, modern research on

twins through KP suggests that, if the sublords are same then, we should look at thesub-sub lords). The sub-sub lord of the 5th house cusp of 1A is Rahu. Rahu is in amale sign. Rahu, being a Node will give result of its sign dispositor—Sun (Ref. Rasichart). Sun is a male planet. For 1B, the 5th cusp sub-sub lord is Jupiter. Jupiter isin an Even (female) sign. Jupiter is in the star of Moon—a female planet.

Case-study 2: This case belongs to twin brother (2A) and his twin sister (2B) bornon 11th November 1983 in Delhi with 3 minutes of time difference at 5:05 pm and05:08 pm respectively. 2A is a school dropout, but 2B is a student of Englishliterature.

As one can see that in the Case-study 2 also, both the Rasi charts are 100%identical. But the Shashtyamsa chart (D-60) is totally different. (MaharshiParasara suggested that the 5th house be seen for education, but the tradition inSouth India is to see the 4th house). In D-60 of 2A, 5th house lord Jupiter isoccupying the 8th house of education break!! Also 3rd house of ‘chesta’ (urge andmotivation to do something), lord of which is Saturn in D-60 is in the 12th house of ‘giving up’. No wonder he dropped out of school. But in D-60 of 2B, 5th house isoccupied by the planet of literature—Moon. Moon is aspected by the ‘milechha’

(low / outcaste) planet Rahu from the Lagna. She was destined for Englishliterature. Moreover, 5th house lord Venus is in the 9th house of higher education.It will not be a surprise to find her doing post graduation and MPhil. Let us nowlook at these twins from KP technique. The cuspal tables for these twins are givenbelow:

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

Readers can see that according to KP cuspal charts, for the native of Case 2 A, the5th cusp sublord is Ketu. (In Rasi chart), Ketu is conjoined with Jupiter and Sun.

Both are strong significators of 8th bhava as well as no planets are in their star.

Ketu is in Mercury star. Mercury is in 8th house. 12th house lord Mars aspects thisMercury from the 5th house of education. So, he dropped-out from school. But seethe divine intervention in the case of 2B, where the girl is a student of Englishliterature. 5th cusp sublord is Venus (a planet for ‘Lalit Kala, arts). Venus is in the5th bhava and 6th Rasi. Venus is in the star of Rahu (a ‘Milechha’ planet denotingEnglish). Both Venus and Rahu signify the 5th, 10th and the 1st houses, showingsuccess in education.

Case-study 3: These are twin brothers, both having their own businesses and doingwell. But 3A has migrated to the USA and doing business there and 3B is in Indiapursuing his business. 3A has two daughters and 3B has one daughter and one son.The twins were born on 3rd Oct. 1960 at 09:00 hrs and 09:05 hours respectively inJodhpur.

In the D-60 chart of 3A, the 4th house lord (birth place) Saturn is in the 12th to 4th(i.e. 3rd), spoiling the chances of homeland stay and is with the 10th lord of Moonof the Rasi chart (profession) and 7th lord Venus (business) of D-60 chart. (H.R.SIyer was one of the foremost proponents of divisional chart mixing—a veryinnovative and effective approach). Moreover, the Lagna lord Mars (self) is in the9th house of long distance travel. Whereas for 3B, the D-60 chart shows that Lagnalord Saturn is in the Lagna, along with the Sign-dispositor of the 4th lord (Mars),Moon. The fact that both of them do business can be seen in D-60 also (though Rasi

chart is very clear on this, through the Purna Paramatamsha planets). For 3A in D-60, we can see that the 7th lord Venus is with the 10th lord Moon of Rasi chart inthe 3rd house of trading. In the case of 3B, 10th lord Venus is conjoined with the7th lord Moon in the lagna.

Let us now look at their KP cuspal tables to make sense of their life-patternsthrough KP technique.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

The Divine indications are so clear above! Look at the 3rd cusp sublord of 3A (the

one who gives courage to do a work, the origin of income) Rahu. (In Rais chart),Rahu is in the house of Sun and in the star of Venus. Sun is aspected by the onlysignificator of the 7th house (business)—Mars; Venus is aspecting the 7th housedirectly. For 3B, the 3rd cusp sublord is Jupiter aspecting the 7th house and the10th cusp sublord Moon is in the star of this Jupiter. It is very clear that they werepre-destined to become businessmen. But why is 3A doing business in USA,whereas 3B is doing business in India? Well, one needs to know how to read Divineindication. In 3A’s KP chart, the 4th cusp sublord (home/homeland) is Venusposited in the 12th bhava of foreign land/travel. Venus is in the star of Rahu. Rahuis in 10th bhava [P.Phalguni(3)] of profession/job/work in close conjunction withthe 11th cusp of income. So, he settled abroad to do business. For 3B, the 4th cuspsublord is Sun, occupying the 11th bhava of income, but this Sun is in star of Moon.Moon is posited in the 4th bhava of homeland/native place. He would earn in hisbirth place only.

Case-study 4: These are twin brother and sister, born on 20th June, 1985 in Delhi at9:48 am, with a birth interval of 3 minutes. The brother (4A) is a MechanicalEngineer, whereas the sister (4B) is a Commerce graduate.

In the D-60 chart of 4A, the 5th house lord Saturn is in the 10th house with the 10thhouse lord Moon, aspected by Rahu and the 5th house receives the aspect of Mars,a clear indication of Mechanical Engineering. But in D-60 chart of 4B, the 10thhouse is occupied by Mercury, the planet of Commerce.

A look into the KP cuspal tables will also throw similar light to this twin charts.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

Once again, we find that both the 5th cusp sublords are Venus. This means that wewill have to look at the sub-sublord. In the case of 4A, the 5th cusp sub-sub lord is

the technical planet Mars. The fifth cusp is afflicted by Mars, Sun and Saturn (Rasichart). Whereas, in the case of 4B, the 5th cusp sub-sublord is the non-technicalplanet Jupiter, ruling management and non-accountancy based commerce. Jupiteris aspected only by Mars and this Mars is the sub lord of Mercury, the planetgoverning commerce, accountancy.

Case-study 5: These are twin brothers born with a time difference of 3 minutes on7th July, 1977 in Delhi at 11:07 am and 11:10 am respectively. The elder one is inservice and is unmarried, whereas the younger brother is running his own businessand married. This is quite a difference in the life-pattern, with three minutes of birth time difference!

Let us first look at the D-60 charts of these twins.

Long time back late J.N Bhasin pointed out in ‘Astro Sutras’ that Sun, Saturn andRahu have separative influences. So, if anywhere these planets give their aspect,then that particular feature will be absent from the native’s life. Also, with regardto marriage, it is a well-established fact that the 7th and 8th houses in a chart nothaving any planet, bears a high potential to deny marriage. A look in the D-60

chart of 5A shows that both 7th and 8th houses are unoccupied. Saturn aspectsfrom the Lagna the 7th house, as well as the 7th lord Mercury. Marriage is veryunlikely. But in the D-60 chart of 5B, we see the most fruitful planet Moon in the7th house, with the 11th lord Jupiter and the 4th lord Sun in the 8th. Successfulmarriage through members of the family is pre-destined for 5B.

Why is 5A in service? See in the D-60 of 5A. 6th lord (service) is in the 10th houseof profession. Why 5B is in business? See in the D-60 of 5B, 7th lord Mars is in the10th. Also business karaka Mercury aspects the 7th house. Is it any wonder thattheir life-patterns are different?

Readers can easily note that in both the cuspal Tables, the 7th cusp sublord isSaturn. As I noted earlier, in such a situation, it is a prevalent KP practice to takethe sub-sub lord of the particular house cusp in the case of twins. For 5A, the 7thcusp sub-sub lord is the separative planet Saturn. This Saturn is signifying bhava 1,10 and 6 as significator. A straight case of marriage-denial. But in the case of 5B,

the situation is different. Here the 7th cusp sub-sub lord is Venus. Venus issignifying the 2nd house (Rasi chart), though it also shows the 10th bhava. Venus isin the star of Sun. Now Sun is fully signifying the 7th house of marriage.

The choice of Shashtyamsa chart for analyzing twins is still a matter of modernresearch, though Sage Parasara has laid a lot of emphasis on this chart. Parasaraconsidered this chart as more important than the Rasi chart. Readers are advisedto read Chapter 7 of Brihat Parasara Hora Shashtra, for understanding this fact.

MYSTERIES OF TWIN-BIRTH LIFE PATTERNS ASTROLOGICAL SENSEMAKING

BY DR. ANDREW DUTTA

As far as KP is concerned, there may be instances, when a particular cuspal

sublord may be same in the charts of twins. In that case, one needs to move to thecuspal sub-sub lord. Readers are advised to follow the Placidus house division withKP Old Ayanamsa values, for generating the horoscopes (All the above charts weredone in this manner for this article). It is also worth remembering that in this era of Caesarian section, noting down the birth time may become another area of debate,especially when the mother is delivering more than one child. It has been foundthat the time of first cry provides a very reliable time of birth. This is all the morerelevant in the case of twin/triplet/quadruplet births, where time-differences arevery marginal, as far as pulling out from the womb is concerned, but the time of the first cry will form the major differentiating factor in analyzing life-patterns.
