PLUTO’S ADVERSE EFFECT – A RESEARCH

PLUTO’S ADVERSE EFFECT – A RESEARCH
There was an article in k_p_system yahoo group titled “Unproven Pluto Adverse Effect”
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system/files/New%20Researches
The statistical analysis and conclusions based on it, presented in above referred article, were not convincing to me. This inspired me to analyze same data to find out whether Pluto really has some adverse effect or not. My humble attempt to search the truth is presented below. Hope my approach and the way of analysis will appeal to all learned astrologers.
The phrase “Pluto Effect” appears to be coined by respected Sunil Gondhalekar ji after study and research of some 40+ charts collected by him during past 7/8 years. His experience points that this so called “Pluto Effect” is applicable in various fields like marriage, job/service, no success in profession, loss of wealth, progeny etc. However it is understood that he (Mr. Gondhalekar) has not formulated any rules for this yet. Please refer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system/message/38097 wherein Mr. Gondhalekar has clearly mentioned that result of Pluto effect, in case of marriage, is generally denial of marriage or if married this will lead to divorce.
This phrase “Pluto Effect” first appeared in k_p_system group in the message http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system/message/38061 on 12th June 2011. And the file “Unproven Pluto Adverse Effect” was up loaded on 21st June 2011. The author has studied 165 charts in such a short time. The pains taken by the author in collecting and studying such a huge data and presenting his findings to the honorable members of k_p_system group is worth appreciating.
Details of Charts studied by the author are as given below.
- ‘unmarried’ charts in message #23786 of this KP group………………………………………………. 15
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system/message/23786
- ‘no marriage’ charts in the Umang Taneja: “Marriage and relationships”
book, 2006, pp 142-153………………………………………………………………………………………………… 10
(Note: DOB/TOB/POB not mentioned in the article)
- Astro-Databank (ADB) AA 100 ‘unmarried’ charts ………………………………………………………. 100
(Note: DOB/TOB/POB for only 10 charts with so called
Pluto effect are given in Appendix 1)
- ADB AA 40 ‘married’ charts( Appendix 2) …………..………………………………………………………… 40
——–
Total 165
However DOB/TOB/POB and other details for only 65 charts are provided in the article.
15 charts (from Sr. No. 1) + 10 charts (from Sr.No. 3) + 40 charts (from Sr. No. 4) = 65
4 Step Pluto Effect
The author, in this article, has used the phrase “4 Step Pluto Effect” in paras 1 to 5. If Pluto has any effect on nativity it can simply be termed as Pluto Effect. It cannot be differentiated as “4 Step Pluto Effect” or “KP Pluto Effect” or “Vedic Pluto Effect” or “Western Pluto Effect”. This reflects author’s prejudiced attitude towards 4 Step.
Author’s findings
It is a well known fact that there are many astrological reasons for a native to remain unmarried. This so called “Pluto Effect” is one additional reason as observed and/or experienced by Mr. Gondhalekar. Therefore when one says that person remains “unmarried” due to “Pluto Effect” it is not correct to say that reverse is also true or to say that every “unmarried” chart should have such “Pluto connection”. In short “All that glitters is not Gold”. So calculating percentage of charts afflicted by Pluto and concluding that “Pluto Effect on 7th cusp is not much to do with no marriage” does not seem to be correct approach. Unfortunately it appears that the purpose of this study is just to “REJECT” findings of 4 Step pioneer Mr. Gondhalekar.
Secondly this study is based on following TWO parameters only viz.
- Association or connection of 7 CSL with Pluto (within orb of 3020’) by way of conjunction/aspect.
- Pluto’s conjunction with 7th cusp (either behind or after 7th cusp) within orb of 3020’
which is not sufficient to prove/disprove Pluto’s adverse effect. If one wants to find out if Pluto has (or does not have) such an adverse effect, then these charts need to be analyzed and studied with some additional parameters such as:
- Whether 7 CSL promises marriage (without considering so called Pluto Effect) as per prevailing rules of KP and 4 Step?
- If yes i.e. if 7 CSL promises marriage, then whether Dasha/Bhukti lords during marriageable age are favorable for marriage?
- In case of charts of married persons whether transits of D/B lords( if the date of marriage is known) are favorable?. In case of unmarried charts there is no need to check transits of D/B lords.
If, and only if, answers to these questions are YES and still native remains unmarried (or is divorced if married) and of course Pluto connection to 7CSL and/or D/B lords exists, we can ascribe such adverse effect to Pluto.
The study of available 65 charts (25 unmarried charts plus 40 married charts) with these additional parameters reveal following facts which are contrary to conclusions in the article. Since KP advocates use of Vedic sign to sign aspects/conjunctions, these are also considered separately.

The author has studied 100 “unmarried” charts from Astro Data Bank and found only 10 charts with so called Pluto Effect which were given in Apopendix-1. However details of remaining 90 charts are not given in the said article. These 90 charts could have been of immense help in authenticating the findings of this study. Anyway study of 10 charts in Appendix-1 (of the said article) with these additional parameters is tabulated in following Table. Sr. numbers in Table 2 and Table 3 are continued from Table 1 for easy reference.

Observations on Table 1:
- 1. There is so called Pluto Effect on 11 out of 15 charts (73.33%) as against only ONE chart claimed by author.
- 2. Out of these 11 charts there is no promise of marriage in charts 4, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 15 (6 out of 11 i.e. 54.54%) either by KP or 4 Step. So Pluto Effect may or may not be the reason for “no marriage” in these 6 charts.
- 3. Therefore in 5 out of 11 (45.45%) charts the apparent reason can finally be confirmed as Pluto Effect.
Observations on Table 2:
- 1. There is Pluto Effect on 10 out of 10 charts. (100%)
- 2. Out of these 10 charts there is no promise of marriage in charts 3, 4, 5, and 6 (4 out of 10 i.e. 40%) either by KP or 4 Step. So Pluto Effect may or may not be the reason for “no marriage” in these 4 charts.
- 3. Therefore in 6 out of 10 (60%) charts the apparent reason can finally be confirmed as Pluto Effect.
Next, study of 40 charts of “married” persons (mentioned in Appendix-2 of the said article) with additional parameters is tabulated in following table.

Observations on Table 3:
- 1. Birth details for chart Nos. 11 and 36 were not available in Astro Data Bank. Further Chart No. 25 is repetition of Chart No. 24 and Chart No. 37 is repetition of Chart No. 21. Thus this study covers only 36 charts.
- 2. There is totally No Pluto connection to 7 CSL as well as DB at marriageable age in charts No 5 and 35.
- 3. Out of 36 charts…………4 charts (Nos. 2, 4, 10 and 38) are unmarried. ………………………. (11.11%)
12 charts (Nos. 1,5,6,7,13,20,21,28,30,32,33 and 35)
are having No Pluto connection on DB at marriageable
age and hence can marry provided marriage is promised………..(33.33%)
20 charts (highlighted in yellow in Table 3) out of
36 charts are divorced………………………………………………………… (55.55%)
—————-
Total…………………………………….99.99%
- 4. Out of 36 charts only 4 (Nos. 8, 16, 18 and 39) are married and not divorced. …………… 11.11%
- 5. Above statistics proves the observation of Mr. Sunil Gondhalekar that effect of Pluto connection to 7th CSL and/or DB at the marriageable age is that either native remains unmarried or gets divorced if married.
General Conclusions:
1 In 25 “unmarried” charts Pluto connection to 7 CSL and/or DB at marriageable age is found in 21 charts (84%). However denial of marriage due to Pluto connection can be authenticated in 12 charts (48%) only.
2 In 36 “married” charts Pluto connection to 7 CSL and/or DB at marriageable age is found in 34 charts (94.44%).
