KP Astrology, also known as Krishnamurti Paddhati, is a system of astrological prediction based on the study of stars (Nakshatras) and their sub-divisions, called "Sub-Lords", as developed by K.S. Krishnamurti. It's a relatively straightforward method, considered accurate and easy to apply. KP Astrology differs from traditional Vedic astrology by focusing on the "Sub-Lords" within each Nakshatra, rather than relying solely on planetary positions in signs. 

KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) Astrology offers several benefits, including enhanced prediction accuracy, a deeper understanding of planetary influences, and the ability to provide more specific guidance. It excels at accurately timing events and is versatile enough to apply to various aspects of life like career, relationships, and health. KP Astrology also provides a simplified approach to Vedic astrology, making it accessible and time-efficient. Here's a more detailed breakdown

KEY CONCEPTS OF KP ASTROLOGY

• Nakshatras (Stars):

KP astrology uses the 27 Nakshatras (constellations) as the primary basis for prediction. 

• Sub-Lords:

Each Nakshatra is further divided into smaller sections, and the "Sub-Lords" are the ruling planets of these sub-divisions. 

• House and Cusp Lords:

KP astrology also considers the lords of houses and cusps, which are calculated using the Placidus system of western astrology. 

• Vimsottari Dasha:

The Vimshottari Dasha system is used to analyze the timing of events, with the Sub-Lords playing a crucial role. 

• Kendra and Dushtana:

The strength or weakness of a planet or house is determined by its relationship to Kendras (corner houses) and Dushtana (auspicious houses). 

• 11th House:

The 11th house lord is considered a significant indicator of the fulfilment of promises and gains.
