KP House Cusps API

KP House Cusps

The KP House Cusps endpoint is part of the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) astrology system — a highly precise predictive astrology system developed by K.S. Krishnamurti. KP astrology is built upon the Placidus house system and the revolutionary sub-lord theory, which provides unparalleled accuracy in astrological predictions.

What This API Does

This endpoint computes the KP house cusps for a given birth chart. In KP astrology, house cusps are the exact degree points where each of the 12 houses begins. For every cusp, the API returns its precise zodiacal position along with the full KP stellar hierarchy — the sign lord, nakshatra (star lord), sub-lord, and sub-sub-lord.

The cuspal sub-lord is the cornerstone of KP predictions. It is the decisive factor in determining whether a particular house will deliver its promised results in a native's life. Without accurate cusp calculations, no meaningful KP analysis is possible.

What Data It Returns

For each of the 12 house cusps, the response provides:

• Cusp degree — the exact zodiacal degree at which the house begins
• Sign — the zodiac sign in which the cusp falls
• Nakshatra (Star Lord) — the lunar mansion governing the cusp degree
• Sub-Lord — the KP sub-division lord, which is the primary determinant of the house's results
• Sub-Sub-Lord — the further refined KP division for deeper analysis
