Ekadhipatya Shodan

After the above reduction, Ekadhipatya Shodan is done. We are aware that except Sun and Moon, all planets rule over 2 signs. This reduction is done for all planets, except Sun and Moon, who rule over two signs, to make the figures more realistic.

Rules

A. No reduction is done

a) if there are planets in both the signs owned by a planet, and

b) if there is no figure in one of the two signs (whether occupied or unoccupied).

B. If one of the two signs owned by a planet is occupied and the other sign is not,

a. if the figure in the occupied sign is > that in the unoccupied sign, eliminate the figure in the unoccupied sign and take it as 0,

b. if the figure in the occupied sign is < that in the unoccupied sign, make the figure in the unoccupied sign equal to the one in occupied sign, and

c. if the figures in both the signs are equal, make the figure in the unoccupied sign as 0.

C. If both the signs are not occupied :

a. if the figures in both the signs are equal, make both as 0.

b. if the figure in both the signs are unequal, make the greater equal to smaller.

Based on the above rules, let us do the Ekadhipatya Shodan ( ,dkf/kifr 'kks/ku ) for our sample horoscope. Following position is clear from the above horoscope :
