KP Astrology

The basic concept of Astrology can be understood by means of regular practice and study. KP Astrology is not very different from Vedic Astrology. The concept of kp system or kp astrology has been derived from Vedic Astrology as well as Western Astrology. These systems believe in 12 Zodiac Signs, practically defined worldwide, hence KP Astrology also don’t deny to this concept.

KP Astrology is based on the stellar system of prediction and its “Sub Lords. The entire KP system is based on proper evaluation and applications of sub lords. As we have already discussed that it is a best part of Vedic Astrology. Hence the idea of forming the chart is also prepared in KP Astrology based on Bhava Chalit Chart of Vedic Astrology.

In Bhava Chalit Chart, we consider first house from mid point of first house (First House cusp) to midpoint of second house (Second House cusp) whereas in KP system, it is considered from the Lagna degree up to the next 30 degree. The degree of houses may vary from 30 degree. In KP system, 360 degree of Zodiac Belt is divided into 12 unequal parts. The houses are measured from cusp to cusp. Cusp is the point of intersection of two houses.

We need to calculate first seven Bhavas in KP Astrology and then we may calculate the next bhavas till 12 by deducting the corresponding houses degree from 180 degree as all the bhavas are placed 180 degree apart from its opposite Bhavas.

Each Zodiac sign contains 2 and 1/4th Nakshatras and we have already unveiled the 9 divisions of particular Nakshatra in KP System. Every single part of these 9 divisions are allotted to certain planets. This division is based on the Placidus system of Western Astrology.

Some key highlights of KP System are as follows:

  • KP system gives importance to the Constellations / Stars / Nakshatras divisions of the Zodiac which is obviously the most desired for precision.
  • Further it divides each Constellation / Star / Nakshatra division into further 9 subdivisions called ‘SUBS’. These sub divisions are not equal divisions, but are as per the VimshottariDashas divisions system.
  • K.P. System uses K.P. Ayanamshas as opposed to LahiriAyanamshas mostly used in Vedic System. The difference between two is about 6 minutes (Kala).
  • This system uses Cusps that is house/ bhav beginnings like Western Systems, as opposed to Vedic System which uses House Centres i.e. BhavMadhyas
  • This system uses Placidus House system.
  • The planet in its period (dasha) gives results as per its Nakshatra-Swami (Star-Lord) rather than the planet itself. Hence Planet is represents the SOURCE, the Planet’s Star-Lord represents the RESULTS and that Planet’s Sub gives the idea of the FINAL OUTCOME (POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE) of that result.
  • House significations are given more importance than planetary significations.
