The seven-phase reading
When Lumin runs 25 to 40 tool calls in sequence, it is following the orthodox KP reading protocol. Knowing the phases lets you read the answer like an astrologer would.
The seven phases
- Chart foundation. Pull planets, cusps, nakshatras, aspects, and house strengths. Establishes what the chart actually says before any interpretation.
- Promise analysis. Read cuspal sublords for the relevant event. Decides whether the event is even possible from this chart.
- Significators. Pull the four-level significator matrix. Identifies which planets carry the event, weighted L1 to L4.
- Dasha analysis. Find which dasha periods activate the significators. Three levels deep: mahadasha, antardasha, pratyantardasha.
- Transit timing. Cascade through Saturn (window), Jupiter (year), Sun (month), Moon (day). Filter retrograde invalidations.
- Advanced techniques. Fire whichever specialist tool fits the question: second marriage, foreign settlement, financial, legal, medical, muhurta, rectification.
- Synthesis. Reconcile all of the above into a single answer with explicit reasoning. The summary you read is grounded in the previous six phases.
Why all seven, every time
Skipping any phase produces a weaker answer. Skipping the promise check leads to confident predictions for events the chart never supported. Skipping ruling planets leads to dates that look right but are not. Skipping advanced techniques leads to generic answers for questions that have specialist tools available.
