Cast your KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) chart — the star-lord and sub-lord chain for every planet and the twelve house cusps, on true Placidus cusps in the KP-sidereal frame, with ruling planets and significators. KP is highly time-sensitive, so an exact birth time and place matter most.

KP depends on precise house cusps, so an accurate birth place is important — please enter your city so we can resolve exact coordinates.

How the KP chart is calculated

KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) refines Vedic astrology by dividing each nakshatra into unequal sub-parts based on the Vimshottari proportions, producing a star-lord → sub-lord → sub-sub-lord chain for any point in the zodiac. This tool computes each planet and each of the twelve Placidus house cusps in the KP-sidereal (Krishnamurti ayanamsa) frame, then derives the ruling planets (day lord, ascendant and Moon lords) and the classical four-fold significators (planet → houses). Because a cusp sub-lord can change within minutes, the accuracy of the reading depends heavily on an exact birth time and place.

Frequently asked questions

What is KP astrology?
KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) is a system of Vedic astrology developed by K. S. Krishnamurti that emphasises the sub-lord of a point — a finer division of each nakshatra — to give more precise, event-focused readings than classical methods.
What is a sub-lord?
Each nakshatra is ruled by a star lord and subdivided into sub-parts sized by the Vimshottari dasha proportions. The planet ruling the sub-part a point falls in is its sub-lord — the key predictive factor in KP.
What are significators?
Significators are the planets that "signify" a house. KP uses a four-fold rule (A: in the star of an occupant, B: the occupant, C: in the star of the owner, D: the owner) to rank how strongly each planet relates to a house.
Why does KP need such an exact birth time?
Because the sub-lord of a house cusp can change within a couple of minutes, even a small error in birth time can alter the cusp sub-lords and the reading. An accurate time and birthplace are essential.
Is this a prediction?
No. The tool computes the KP chart structure — lords, cusps and significators — for reflection. It is a traditional framework, not a verdict or a prediction of events.
