Methodology and astrological context for KP Extended Planets.
The KP Extended Planets endpoint is part of the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) astrology system — a highly precise, scientifically-oriented predictive astrology framework developed by K.S. Krishnamurti. Built on the Placidus house system and the sub-lord theory, KP astrology is widely regarded for its accuracy in event timing and prediction.
This endpoint is the extended variant of the standard KP Planets endpoint, offering a significantly deeper and more comprehensive set of planetary data beyond what the base endpoint provides.
Given a person's birth details (date, time, and geographic coordinates), this API computes enriched KP planetary positions and their intricate relationships within the KP framework. It applies the Krishnamurti Ayanamsha (or any specified ayanamsha) to calculate sidereal planetary positions and then layers KP-specific analytical constructs on top — including star lord chains, sub-lord assignments, and cuspal connections.
The API returns a structured JSON response containing enriched KP planetary data, which typically includes:
