KP astrology software
A KP tool that reads every house by the sub lord of its cusp, on Placidus cusps in the KP ayanamsa. You get the star, sub and sub-sub lords, the significators by step, the promise of a matter, and the dasha windows that agree with the ruling planets.
Included in the Vedic plan, Rs 3,001 a month. No card needed. Sign in with Google to start.
Who it is for
Made for astrologers who work in the Krishnamurti way and want the cusp sub lord in front of them first. The KP Home puts the whole reading of one kundli on a single scrolling page, in the order a KP astrologer works. The points come first, then the promise, the time, the ruling planets of now and the birth time check.
It also helps a Parashari astrologer who takes a few KP cases, because every column says what it means and the KP settings are ready when you open it. If you already keep your own tables, you can change the ayanamsa, the node and the agent rule until the numbers match yours.
What you can do with it
Cusps, planets and lords
- KP house chart with each planet in the house its degree falls in. One click changes it to the sign chart in the KP ayanamsa.
- Twelve Placidus cusps with sign lord, star lord, sub lord and sub-sub lord.
- Nine planets with star, sub and sub-sub lords, the KP house and the houses each one signifies.
- Click a cusp to open that house with its lords, the planets in it, the houses its sub lord signifies and its significators, strongest first.
- Point at a planet on the chart to see its houses, or click a house to see who signifies it.
- The full tables add the longitude, the nakshatra and the distance from each point to the edge of its sub, in arc-minutes.
- Sub Lord Table: all 249 divisions, a filter by sign, and a lookup for any degree with its star, sub and sub-sub lord, pada, sub number and horary number.
- With a kundli open, the Sub Lord Table shades the rows that hold its planets and cusps and names them.
Significators by step
- Planet by house grid. Each cell gives the step, 1 strongest to 4 weakest, and the rows and columns are counted.
- House-wise table: planets in the star of an occupant, occupants, planets in the star of the house lord, then the house lord.
- Planet-wise table: the house of its star lord, the house it is in, the houses its star lord owns, then the houses it owns.
- Rahu and Ketu as agents of the planets joined to them, their star lord and their sign lord. These houses stay in a column of their own, Through node agents, and show dashed in the grid.
- A switch shows steps 1 and 2 alone.
- Cusp links: pick any houses and see which cusp sub lords link to them, whether each sub lord links to its own house, and which cusps share a sub lord.
The promise and the time
- Is the promise there, for six matters. Marriage, Career, Children, Property, Wellbeing and Travel abroad.
- The verdict reads promised, promised with delay, or not promised, with the cusp sub lord, the houses the matter needs and the houses that work against it.
- A delay always gives its reason, a link to the houses against the matter or a sub lord in the star of a retrograde planet.
- The running dasha, bhukti and antara, each with its end date, star lord and houses signified, and whether its own sub lord gives the matter or denies it.
- Windows for a matter in the next 10 years, listed only when all three lords link to its houses, all three sub lords give it, and the bhukti and antara lords agree with the ruling planets.
- One click shows the periods that failed a check, with the reason in each column.
- Every period in one tree that opens in place, with the houses each lord signifies and the cusps it is sub lord of.
Ruling planets and the birth time
- Ruling planets for any date, time and place, strongest first. Lagna star lord, Lagna sign lord, Moon star lord, Moon sign lord, day lord.
- The day changes at sunrise. Rahu or Ketu joins as an agent, and a retrograde ruling planet is struck through and set aside.
- With a kundli open, each ruling planet shows the houses it signifies in that chart.
- The Lagna and Moon sub lords are shown beside them and are not counted.
- Birth time check at minus 2, minus 1, plus 1 and plus 2 minutes. It names every cusp whose sub lord changes, and says if the Moon's sub lord changes too.
- For each cusp it gives about how many minutes the sub lord holds, earlier and later.
Horary and settings
- KP Horary from a number between 1 and 249. The number sets the Lagna, and the moment of the question sets the planets.
- Cusps 2 to 12 are worked out for that Lagna at the place of the question. You can also take the Lagna from the moment itself.
- The ruling planets of a horary chart come from the sky, and the page says which degree was really rising.
- All 249 numbers in one table with sign, degrees, star lord and sub lord. Click a row to use it.
- One click opens the same moment and number on the Prashna Home, read with the Tajik yogas.
- Three ayanamsa choices. KP, KP New after D. Senthilathiban, or your own gap below Lahiri, typed in minutes and seconds.
- Mean or true node, and a switch that counts the planets looking at a node as its agents.

KP house chart and the twelve cusps
The chart on the left and the cusp table on the right, with the star, sub and sub-sub lord of each cusp. Click a cusp or a house to open it.
Is the promise there
Pick a matter and read the sub lord of its cusp against the houses it needs. Here marriage comes out as promised with delay, and the card gives both reasons.
The running period and the windows
The three running lords with their sub lords for the matter, then the windows of the next 10 years that pass every check.
Ruling planets and the birth time check
The ruling planets of this moment with retrograde ones struck through, beside a check of which cusp sub lords change within 2 minutes of the birth time.
Significators by step
Every planet against every house. The number is the step, and a dashed cell comes only through Rahu or Ketu standing in for another planet.
KP Horary from a number
The number 108 sets the Lagna at 3 degrees of Virgo. The cusps, the planets of the moment and the horary chart follow.
How it fits a KP sitting
- Open the client's kundli and go to KP Home. Look at the birth time check first. If the cusp you need changes within 2 minutes, settle the time against known events of the life.
- Pick the matter and read the sub lord of its cusp. Note which of the needed houses it links to, and whether the houses against the matter come in.
- Read the running dasha, bhukti and antara. See whether each lord's own sub lord gives the matter or denies it.
- Go through the windows of the next 10 years, and open the periods that did not pass if the client's timing does not fit.
- Compare with the ruling planets of the moment, worked out for the place where you sit.
- For a fresh question, take a number from 1 to 249 before you look at any chart, then open KP Horary.
Method and sources
Planet positions come from the same NASA JPL DE440 tables as the rest of the tool and are moved to the KP ayanamsa. Cusps are Placidus, tropical minus the ayanamsa. Star, sub and sub-sub lords come from the Vimshottari proportions, 27 stars and 243 subs, cut into 249 divisions at the sign edges for horary.

- KP Reader II, Fundamental Principles of Astrology: star lord and sub lord, Rahu and Ketu as agents, ruling planets
- KP Reader III, Predictive Stellar Astrology: significators by step, the promise by the cusp sub lord, timing by dasha, bhukti and antara
- KP Reader IV, Marriage, Married Life and Children: the house groups for marriage and children
- KP Reader VI, Horary Astrology: the 249 numbers, ruling planets in order of strength, the retrograde star lord

What it does not do
- It lists links and applies the sub lord rule. It does not say what will happen, and a list of windows is a list to study, for you to judge.
- Horary question lists with a verdict and timing are not built, nor is birth time correction by the ruling planets, nor transit agreement.
- The later 4-step method and the cuspal interlinks method are not applied. The sub-sub lord is shown and is not used in any judgement.
- The promise covers the six matters named above. Short journeys, selling a property and higher education are not offered, and Wellbeing speaks only of steadier and more strained stretches.
- A practising KP astrologer has yet to check the house groups and the verdict words against the Readers. The tool says so in Help, under Sources.
Questions
Which ayanamsa and node does it start with?
The KP ayanamsa, which is Lahiri minus 348.669 arc-seconds on every date, and the true node. In KP Settings you can pick KP New, type your own gap below Lahiri, or pick the mean node. Your choice applies to every KP page.
How are Rahu and Ketu read as significators?
A node owns no sign, so it stands in for the planets joined to it, its star lord and its sign lord. The houses it gets this way sit in a column of their own and show dashed in the grid. The planets that look at a node count only if you switch that on in KP Settings.
Is this the 4-step theory?
No. The page Significators by step uses the four steps of a house as KP Reader III gives them, from planets in the star of an occupant down to the house lord. The later method of planet, star lord, sub lord and the sub lord's star lord is a different thing and is not applied. For the same reason the page is called Cusp links, because the later cuspal interlinks method is not applied either.
Why does the ruling planet check skip the dasha lord?
The dasha lord runs for years and is rarely a ruling planet of one moment, so the check falls on the bhukti and antara lords. The dasha lord's match is still shown. All three lords must link to the matter, and all three sub lords must give it.
Can I work without a birth time?
Only in part. With no birth time there are no cusps, so the promise and the significators cannot be worked out. The planet table uses noon and the dasha dates are rough. KP Horary and the Ruling Planets page need no birth time at all.
Does KP Horary give a yes or a no?
No. It gives the chart, the cusps, the sub lords and the ruling planets for the number and the moment, and you judge from them. If you want a lean with its reasons, open the same moment in the Prashna tool.
Which place is used for the ruling planets?
Yours. KP judges from where the astrologer sits, so set your own place in Settings, under New kundli, Default place of birth. Until you do, the KP Home uses the birth place of the open chart and says so.
