What is KP System?
KP or Krishnamurti Paddhati is an excellent system of astrological predictions, conceived and created by
the great Indian astrology master late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti. KP System is based on finer points of
Indian and Western astrology and borrows important concepts from many branches of astrology.
Regarded as most accurate system of present time, KP System of astrology is easy to learn and easy to
apply. Contrary to classical Hindu astrology, KP system is systematic and very well defined.

Tutorial Here are some of the salient points of KP System:

House Grouping
edited by Punit Pandey 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 Vimshottari Dashas Divisions

System.
edited by Punit Pandey
KP System uses KP Ayanamsha as opposed to Lahiri Ayanamsha, which is mostly used in Vedic
House Grouping System. The difference between the two is about 6 minutes.
edited by Punit Pandey KP system uses Cusps which are the house/ bhav beginnings like in Western System, as opposed
Resources to House Centres or Bhav Madhyas used in the Vedic system.
edited by Punit Pandey This system uses Placidus House system which is used very often in Western astrology.

View All KP system gives importance to the zodiac divisions on the basis of Constellations / Stars /
Nakshatras. A planet in its dasha gives results as per its Nakshatra-Swami (Star-Lord) rather than
the planet itself. Hence the Planet represents the SOURCE, that Planet's Star-Lord represents the
EFFECTS, RESULTS and the Planet's SUB gives an idea of the FINAL DIRECTION of that result.
KP uses Ruling Planets' methodology which says that the planets at the time of desire and
fructification are always the same.
House characteristics are given more importance than the planetary characteristics.
KP system discards many popular classical astrology principles like divisional charts and yogas.

Free Termite
Inspection Should I learn Vedic Astrology first before learning KP?
isshicare.com/Ter… There are pros and cons of starting with Vedic astrology. Vedic astrology is so vast, detailed and hence
Call HiCare Certified confusing that you don't know where to stop and switch to KP. There is always a fear to get confused
Experts, Free or get into too much detail. It doesn't mean that Vedic astrology is incorrect, but KP astrology is simple,
Consultancy .Book better suited to scientific mind, and straight forward comparatively.
Inspection Now.
So the recommended approach for learning astrology, is to stick to 6 readers. Six books written by Shri
K.S. Krishnamurti, inventor of KP System, are called six readers
(http://kpastrology.astrosage.com/Home/resources#TOC-Books-by-Shri-K.-S.-Krishnamurti). You should
start with second reader, fundamental principles of astrology and move gradually to other readers.
Second reader is an excellent book for astrology beginners which covers essential Vedic astrology and
prepares ground for KP.

If yo already have basic knowledge of Vedic astrology, then the recommended approach for learning KP
is going to be different. In that case, please refer "How to start learning KP System" section.

Which Dasha to Use?

Dashas are the primary tools in Hindu astrology for timing events. There are various dasha systems used
in Hindu astrology for timing of events. Some of the popular dasha systems are Vimshottari Dasha (Udu
Dasha), Ashtottari Dasha, Yogini Dasha, Kalchakra Dasha, and Jaimini Char Dasha, etc. KP System uses
only Vimshottari Dasha.

What is Fortuna in KP Astrology?

Fortuna is a fast-moving sensitive point in astrology. Fortuna is calculated as follows (Page 98, First
Reader "Casting The Horoscope" - 1993 edition) -

Longitude of Fortuna = Longitude of Ascendant + Longitude of Moon - Longitude of Sun

Shri K. S. Krishamurthi, the inventor of KP System, mentioned about Fortuna in the second reader, but
he really didn't given much detail. The application and examples are also missing. The general rule is
"Fortuna improves the matters of the House where is located." Thus Fortuna in second house improves
one's wealth, family etc. Fortuna in fifth house will improve luck in speculation, in having children etc.

Shri K. S. Krishamurti devoted last chapter in Second Reader "Fundamental Principles of Astrology" for
Fortuna and can be found on page no. 341 of 1997 edition. In my opinion, Fortuna is still a topic under
research as far as KP System is concerned. These reference articles should be useful -

Which Rahu (& Ketu) calculation is correct - True Rahu or Mean

Rahu?
Check " Mean Node vs True Node.doc" in the file section of the k_p_system forum. The k_p_system
forum endorses 'Mean Rahu'.

There are so many ayanamsas - KP (Old), KP (New), KP straight line

ayanamsa. Which ayanamsa to use?
Astrologers are free to use any ayanamsa which gives them correct predictions. The k_p_system
forum endorses KP (New) Ayanamsa. KP (New) ayanamsa is also also written as KPNA.

Original (KP Old) and New KP Ayanamsa (KP New) are the same, except that the Original takes the flat
value for the entire year up to the accuracy of minutes only by a table and the "KP New" calculates the
value up to the Date of Birth and accuracy of seconds by a formula.

What can be discussed in k_p_system yahoogroup? (and what

can not be)
Let me clarify on forum policy of what can be discussed in the forum and what can not. This forum is
primarily for discussing K P System. If there is any "astrology" knowledge that can help us in improving

http://kpastrology.astrosage.com/Home/kp-yahoogroup 3/4
6/13/2014 KP System FAQ - KP Astrology
our predictions, it is most welcome. This is just an exception condition and it should not be said that this
is a place for discussing "other branches of astrology." Mirrorology, Vaastu, Palmistry, Tarot etc. are not
even astrology, so we should not discuss it here.

There are some occasions like Quizzes and Blind Charts where we mark it clearly that analysis using all
branches of astrology is allowed. By allowing other branches of astrology, we want to see how all
branches of astrology are compared as far as predictive capabilities are concerned. Those occasions are
clearly marked.

How to search archive and old forum topics?

Old messages can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system/messages. There is a a
search box on this page where you can search by message number or search using keywords. Though
YahooGroup serach is not very effective and hence I would recommend using Google search. Google
provides a facility to search within only one site. You can do so by entering "Site:[Site Name] Keywords"
in Google search box. For example, if we have to find about "Combust Planets" in our forum, please go to
Google.com and type following -

site:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/k_p_system combust planets

KP YahooGroup keeps conducting quizzes for improving knowledge and testing theories. As these quizzes
are very important learning material, we have compiled quizzes and it can be found at
