API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for KP Birth Chart.

KP Birth Chart

The KP Birth Chart endpoint generates a complete natal (birth) chart based on the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) system — a highly precise predictive astrology system developed by K.S. Krishnamurti. Built upon the Placidus house system and the revolutionary sub-lord theory, KP astrology offers unparalleled accuracy in event timing and life predictions compared to traditional Vedic systems.


What This API Does

This endpoint computes a full KP horoscope for an individual based on their birth date, time, and geographic location. It applies the KP methodology to calculate the complete stellar hierarchy for every planetary and house position, forming the foundational chart from which all KP-based predictions and analyses are derived.


What Data It Returns

The response includes a comprehensive set of KP astrological data:

  • Planetary Positions — For each planet: zodiac sign, nakshatra (lunar mansion), sub-lord, and sub-sub-lord
  • 12 House Cusps — Each house cusp with its full stellar hierarchy (sign, nakshatra, sub-lord, sub-sub-lord)
  • Lagna (Ascendant) Details — Precise ascendant position with KP stellar breakdown
  • KP Significators — Significator planets for each of the 12 houses, essential for event prediction
  • Ruling Planets — The set of ruling planets at the time of birth, used for KP analysis and horary
  • Dasha / Antardasha Periods — Vimshottari Dasha timeline with major and sub-period details

Main Use Cases
