About KP Astrology

KP (Krishnamurthy Paddhati) astrology is a modern system of astrology developed by late Indian astrologer Krishnamurthy, primarily during the mid-20th century. KP astrology is known for its unique and precise predictive techniques and is a departure from traditional Vedic astrology in some key aspects. Here are the fundamental features of KP astrology:

• Stellar System: KP astrology uses the Western-style of astrology's planetary positions based on the tropical zodiac and a Stellar (Nakshatra) system that's typical of Vedic astrology. This combination is considered more accurate for predictive purposes.
• House Division: In KP astrology, the zodiac is divided into 12 houses, just like in traditional Vedic astrology. However, the cusp of the house is based on the placement of the ruling planets for each house rather than relying on equal house divisions.
• Subdivision of Houses: KP astrology introduces the concept of "subdivision of houses" or "cusp division." Each house is further divided into smaller segments, and the significators for these sub-divisions are carefully examined to provide precise predictions.
• Placidus House Division: KP astrology uses the Placidus house division system, which means that the cusp of each house is not necessarily 30 degrees apart. The house boundaries can vary depending on the location and time of birth.
• Advanced Prediction Techniques: KP astrology employs several advanced predictive techniques, such as the Placidus Cuspal Interlinks (PCI) method. This method involves analyzing the connections and significators of planets in the birth chart to provide answers to specific questions and detailed predictions.
• Stellar (Nakshatra) Lordships: The concept of Stellar (Nakshatra) Lordships is a significant feature of KP astrology. It involves identifying the planet that governs a particular Nakshatra and analyzing its role in various aspects of life and predictions.
