What is KP Horary (Prashna) Astrology?
Welcome to the most advanced and accurate KP Horary (Prashna) Calculator. Based on the Krishnamurti Padhdhati (KP) system, this tool helps you find answers to your specific questions without needing a birth chart. Unlike natal astrology, which requires a birth time, Horary astrology (Prashna Shastra) depends on the time the question is asked and a number between 1 and 249 chosen by the querent.
This method relies on the 'Sub Lord' theory, which offers much higher precision than traditional methods for answering "Yes or No" questions and timing events.
How to Use This Tool
- Think of a Question: Focus on a specific question (e.g., "Will I get this job?" or "When will I get married?").
- Select a Number: Choose a number between 1 and 249. This is the "Horary Number" or "seed."
- Enter Details: Provide the current date, time, and your location (City).
- Calculate: Click the button to generate the chart. You will see the North/South/East Indian charts, Ruling Planets, and detailed Significators.
Understanding KP Significators (Karakathvas)
In KP Astrology, a planet gives results based on the house it signifies. The strength of signification is categorized into four distinct levels (A to D). Our calculator automatically computes these for you:
- Level A (Strongest): Planets in the star (Nakshatra) of the occupant of a house.
- Level B (Strong): Planets actually occupying the house.
- Level C (Moderate): Planets in the star of the house owner (Lord).
- Level D (Weak): The owner (Lord) of the house itself.
Ruling Planets (RPs) and Timing
Ruling Planets are the "Divine Guide" in KP Astrology. They capture the planetary position at the exact moment of judgment. They are crucial for:
- Rectifying the chart if there is confusion.
- Pinpointing the exact timing of an event (Dasa/Bhukti/Anthra).
- Confirming whether the answer is genuine.
This tool calculates the Day Lord, Moon Sign/Star/Sub, and Ascendant Sign/Star/Sub to give you a complete picture.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Horary Number?
It is a seed number between 1 and 249 selected by the querent. In KP Astrology, the zodiac is divided into 249 sub-divisions. This number determines the Ascendant (Lagna) of the chart precisely.
Do I need my Date of Birth for this?
No. Horary astrology is based on the "time of the question," not the time of birth. You only need the current time and the location where you are asking the question.
Does this tool consider Retrograde planets?
Yes. Retrograde planets are marked with (R) or (వక్ర). In KP, if a Sub Lord is retrograde or in the star of a retrograde planet, it often indicates a delay or denial of the result.
