KP astrology uses the Krishnamurti ayanamsa, a sidereal correction slightly different from Lahiri's, combined with sub-lord divisions for precise event timing. This calculator generates your chart in the KP sidereal frame.
The sub-lord is the real answer in KP
KP astrology further divides each nakshatra based on the same proportions used in Vimshottari dasha calculations, producing a "sub-lord" for the exact degree any planet or house cusp occupies. In KP practice, the sub-lord, not the sign or even the nakshatra, is treated as the real determinant of an outcome.
KP's ayanamsa isn't quite Lahiri
This calculator uses the KP ayanamsa, a correction figure close to Lahiri but not identical to it. Because of that small difference, a placement near a sign or nakshatra boundary can occasionally fall on a different side of the line here than it would in a Lahiri-based chart.
Built specifically for timing precision
K.S. Krishnamurti developed this system in the 20th century to sharpen event-timing beyond what standard Vedic technique offers, by reading sub-lords instead of stopping at sign and nakshatra.
How this differs from a standard Vedic chart
vedic-kundli and navamsa-d9 use the Lahiri ayanamsa and don't apply sub-lord divisions at all. They read sign, house, nakshatra, and pada. KP instead trades some of that traditional framework for the finer sub-lord layer described above. It's also a distinct system from raman-ayanamsa-chart, which changes the ayanamsa but keeps standard Vedic technique rather than adding sub-lords.
Your dasha timeline is included alongside this chart
A Vedic Timeline band below your placements shows your current Vimshottari maha/antar dasha and Sade Sati status, computed using this chart's KP ayanamsa rather than Lahiri. For the full dasha ladder on the standard Lahiri ayanamsa, use the vimshottari-dasha tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is KP more accurate than standard Vedic astrology?
Not more accurate, more granular for event timing. KP adds a sub-lord layer on top of standard technique specifically to sharpen timing questions; it isn't a correction to standard Vedic astrology, just a different tool for a different kind of question.
Do I need to know Vedic astrology to use KP?
No, but KP assumes familiarity with nakshatras and dasha proportions, since sub-lords are built from them. If you're new to sidereal astrology, vedic-kundli is a gentler starting point.
