KP Astrology uses Sud Lord theory. The root of this sub lord theory is based on Vimshottari Dasha System of Vedic Astrology. KP Astrology is also having ruling planet method which is widely used for birth time rectification. The dasha system used most commonly is called the Vimshottari Dasha System. The dashas are the planetary cycles of a life based on the placement of the Moon at birth. 9 Cycles of 9 Planets equal 120 years There are nine cycles which include the seven planets, plus the north and south nodes of the Moon (Rahu, Ketu).

There are numerous types of Astrology defined worldwide. KP system is one of them. It is also knownas 'KP Astrology'. It is a best technique to predict an event accurately. It is famous among astrologersdue to its 'Easy to Apply and Easy to Understand' concept. It is one of the most simple technique inHindu Astrology.

The basic concept of Astrology can be understood by means of regular practice and study. KP Astrologyis not very different from VedicAstrology. The concept of kp system or kp astrology has been derived from Vedic Astrology aswell as Western Astrology. These systems believe in 12 Zodiac Signs, practically defined worldwide,hence KP Astrology also don't deny to this concept. Before proceeding towards the principles of KP Astrology,let's understand first Zodiac divisions under it:

Zodiac Divisions as per KP Astrology

Astronomically, It is assumed that planets in the universe are placed in between a belt, also knownas Zodiac Belt. It is also considered that this belt forms a circle of 360 degree. Hence all the planetsmove into a circular path in the sky. This imaginary belt is classified into 12 equal parts of 30 degreeeach, known as Zodiac Sign or 'Rashi'.

Further it is divided into 27 equal parts of 13 degree 20 minutes each, known as Nakshatra or Star.Again, each star is divided into 9 divisions, known as 'Sub'. Now, this 9 divisions of stars hold areal concept or true dignity of KP Astrology. The lords of 'Sub' divisions are also known as 'Sub Lords'in kp system.

The portion of 9 divisions into a particular Nakshatra and ruling planet of these divisions are totallybased upon the 'Vimshottari Dasha System' of Vedic Astrology. Like a planet with lesser period in VimshottariDasha cycle would occupy the lesser portion in 13 degree 20 minutes of certain Nakshatra whereas theplanet with the greater period in Vimshottari Dasha Cycle would occupy the greater portion of that particularNakshatra.

The concept of dividing the Zodiac is almost same in both Vedic Astrology as well as in kp Astrology.Hence KP system can be said as a modernized form of Vedic Astrology with simple techniques to predictan event.

Origin of KP Astrology

Late Krishnamurti invented a technique in Vedic Astrology, called as 'Krishnamurti Paddhati'. As youcan see the name of 'Krishnamurti Paddhati' is being derived from its inventor's name. Astrologer Krishnamurtihad developed this technique in order to revolutionize predictions in Astrology. It is a most simplesttechnique to predict an event and also to maintain the accurate prediction.

Earlier it was difficult for an Astrologer to predict the certainty of an event. However, Krishnamurtihad invented this method to simplify the work for Astrologers. Vedic Astrologers may find difficultyin prediction whereas KP Astrologers can predict in the most accurate manner whether there is a promisefound in Kundali for certain event or not. This inventionof Krishnamurti took him to the heights of success.

What is KP Astrology in Actual?

KP Astrology is based on the stellar system of prediction and its 'Sub Lords. The entire KP system isbased on proper evaluation and applications of sub lords. As we have already discussed that it is abest part of Vedic Astrology. Hence the idea of forming the chart is also prepared in KP Astrology basedon 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 degreeup to the next 30 degree. The degree of houses may vary from 30 degree. In KP system, 360 degree ofZodiac Belt is divided into 12 unequal parts. The houses are measured from cusp to cusp. Cusp is thepoint of intersection of two houses.

Vimshottari Dasha Kp Astrology Birth Chart

We need to calculate first seven Bhavas in KP Astrology and then we may calculate the next bhavas till12 by deducting the corresponding houses degree from 180 degree as all the bhavas are placed 180 degreeapart from its opposite Bhavas.

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

For example: if we take Aries Zodiac, Itcontains Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika Nakshatra. If we divide Ashwini in 9 divisions and assign firstpart to Ketu as it comes first in Vimshottari Dasha of 120 years. However, the equal proportion mayvary according to the Dasha Period of the certain planet as we have already discussed in Zodiac Sign.Like Ketu dasha is only for 6 years, very shortspan of 120 years of full cycle. Hence 1/20th part of 9 divisions is allocated to planet Ketu. Thencomes Venus, duration of 20 years, it will contribute1/6th proportion accordingly within Ashwini Nakshatra, or it can be mathematically derived as 1/6thportion of 13 degree 20 minutes of Ashwini Nakshatra. Likewise Sun will hold the lesser proportion asit has 7 years cycle and so on.

According to KP Astrology Principles

In KP Astrology, certain rules are defined to measure the time for happening and non happening momentsin life. How these certain rules are being implemented on the certain situation, let's find below:

Significations of any planet is based on the house occupied by the star lord of particular planet andplanet itself, houses owned by star lord of the planet and owned by planet itself.
Significator of any house is based on planets in the star of occupying that house, that house itself,planet in the star of owners of that particular house and owner of that house.
In KP system, each planet has its sub lord whose effects are also seen while analysing any horoscope. In case, two planets are placed in one Nakshatra and sub lords are different for eachone, then there can be different results experienced.
In kp astrology, it is considered that Sign Lord gives its results depending on the house in which itsits, however, good or bad results are seen through the sub lords.
Any planet sitting in any house and certain sign may provide you the results of its previous house ornext house as well depending on the certain degree of the planet.
Any Planet, placed in certain Zodiac sign, first provide you the result of its Nakshatra Lord, alsocalled as Sub lords.
Any planet's Mahadasha (VimshottariDasha) can affect all the significator houses. Significator houses are the houses which gets activatedduring its Mahadasha period.
Any event will take place or not, it will be predicted through the cuspal Sub Lords and promise in Kundalibased on significators.

Planets with its significator houses:

Planets	Significatory Houses
Sun	2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th
Moon	2nd, 4th, 6th, 11th
Venus	6th, 4th, 5th, 11th

The above list of planets and houses describe which houses get activated while the Mahadasha, Antardashaor Pratyantar Dasha of certain Planet comes.

Deviations from Vedic Astrology
