API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for KP Extended Planets.

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.


What This API Does

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.


What Data It Returns

The API returns a structured JSON response containing enriched KP planetary data, which typically includes:

  • Sidereal planetary positions for all major planets and nodes (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu)
  • Star lord and sub-lord assignments for each planet, derived from the Vimshottari Dasha division of the zodiac
  • Extended KP significators — the houses signified by each planet through its own placement, star lord, and sub-lord chains
  • Cuspal sub-lord connections — linking planets to house cusps via sub-lord theory for precise event analysis
  • Planet-to-house relationship mappings — showing which houses each planet governs, occupies, and signifies
  • Ruling planets at the time of query — the set of planets ruling the current moment (used in KP Horary and transit analysis)
  • Additional KP-specific analytical layers used for advanced event timing, promise analysis, and prediction

Main Use Cases

  • Advanced KP Horoscope Analysis — Generate complete KP charts with full significator chains for in-depth natal chart interpretation
  • Precise Event Timing — Leverage sub-lord theory and ruling planets to pinpoint when specific life events (marriage, career changes, health events) are likely to occur
  • KP Research Platforms — Power academic or professional research tools that require granular KP data for statistical or comparative studies
  • Professional Astrology Tools — Integrate into astrology software, mobile apps, or web platforms serving KP practitioners and consultants
  • Horary Astrology (Prashna) — Use ruling planets and cuspal sub-lords to answer specific questions based on the moment of query
