KP Astrology Chart Calculator: Cusps & Sub-Lords
Enter your date, time and place of birth for a KP chart. For every planet and house cusp you will see the rashi lord, nakshatra lord, sub-lord and degree, plus significator tables. Sub-lords change quickly, so an accurate birth time is essential.

What is a KP horoscope?
Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) is a twentieth-century refinement of stellar astrology that emphasizes precise house cusps, sub-lords of nakshatra divisions, and significators (which planets and houses reinforce an event). The chart wheel is still your birth map; KP adds a structured way to read ruling at the cusp and star level.
How to use this calculator
- Provide accurate birth time and birthplace coordinates (saved profiles supply these automatically when you pick a kundli).
- Review the north or south wheel, then read the planet table for sign, house, star pada, and sub-lord.
- Use significators of planets and significators of houses to see which house numbers repeat across KP levels, repetition is one signal readers weigh alongside dasha and transits.
- If the birth clock is uncertain, treat sub-lords and house edges as hypotheses until a reader confirms or rectifies the time.
KP timing is read against the running period, so see when each mahadasha and antardasha begins with the Vimshottari dasha calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What is KP astrology?
Krishnamurti Paddhati is a twentieth-century refinement of stellar astrology. It emphasises precise house cusps, the sub-lords of nakshatra divisions, and significators: the planets and houses that support an event.
What is a sub-lord in KP?
Each nakshatra is divided into nine unequal parts in the proportions of the Vimshottari dasha years, and each part is ruled by a planet: the sub-lord. KP gives the sub-lord of a cusp special weight when judging whether that house's matters will happen.
How do I read the significator tables?
Look for house numbers that repeat across a planet's KP levels (its sign, star and sub-lord). Repetition is one signal readers weigh together with the running dasha and transits.
Is a KP chart different from a normal Vedic kundli?
It uses the same birth data but reads it through cusps, star lords and sub-lords rather than signs and houses alone. Many astrologers use both, the D1 kundli chart for the overall picture and KP for timing.
What if my birth time is uncertain?
Sub-lords and cusp edges change quickly, so treat them as hypotheses until the time is confirmed or rectified. Planet sign and nakshatra are usually more stable.
