Generate complete KP birth chart
post_vedic_astrology_kp_chartRead-only
Generate authentic Krishnamurti Paddhati birth charts with Placidus house cusps, star-lord and sub-lord calculations. Supports custom ayanamsa and dynamic KP-Newcomb ayanamsa calculation. Returns complete chart with all 9 planets (Sun through Ketu), Ascendant, 12 Placidus house cusps, nakshatra details, star-lords, sub-lords, and KP horary numbers (1-249). Perfect for KP astrology software, horary prediction apps, and event timing analysis. One call is a complete Krishnamurti Paddhati chart generator, returning the Placidus cusps and the planets with their sub lords together. The latitude must lie below 66.56 degrees north or south, inside the polar circles: KP cusps are Placidus, which has no solution beyond them, so a polar latitude returns 400.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | Yes | Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format | |
| lang | No | Response language (BCP 47). Supported: en, tr, de, es, hi, pt, fr, ru, zh-Hans, zh-Hant. Defaults to en. Coverage varies by domain, and a field with no translation in the requested language returns English. | en |
| time | Yes | Birth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. CRITICAL for accurate Lagna and house calculations. | |
| focus | No | Which signification vocabulary the houseThemes map returns. "general" gives the classical bhava significations (self, wealth, siblings, home, and so on). "finance" gives the money reading of the same twelve bhavas, so house 2 returns income and savings, 5 speculation and risk appetite, 8 sudden money and leverage, 11 gains and profits, and 12 expenses and capital outflow. Use "finance" for wealth, income, business and market timing questions in Krishnamurti Paddhati, where the significator house groups 2, 6, 10, 11 for earned income and 5, 8, 11 for speculation are read against a running dasha. Defaults to "general". | general |
| compact | No | Set true for the same data in a compact shape: arrays of same-shaped objects arrive columnar as {"__cols":[names],"__rows":[[values]]}. Lossless, typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens. | |
| ayanamsa | No | Ayanamsa system for sidereal conversion. "kp-newcomb" uses the KP-Newcomb dynamic formula (most common for KP). "kp-old" uses the Krishnamurti original table. "lahiri" uses Lahiri/Chitrapaksha ayanamsa matching most traditional Vedic software. "raman" uses the B.V. Raman ayanamsa, about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. "custom" allows providing your own value via ayanamsaValue. Defaults to "kp-newcomb". | kp-newcomb |
| latitude | Yes | Birth location latitude in decimal degrees. The latitude must lie below 66.56 degrees north or south, inside the polar circles: KP cusps are Placidus, which has no solution beyond them, so a polar latitude returns 400. | |
| nodeType | No | Lunar node convention. "mean" is the smoothed average node, which always moves retrograde; "true" is the osculating node, which tracks the real perturbed node, oscillates up to about 1.5 degrees either side of the mean on a 173-day cycle, and can briefly turn direct. Neither is more correct and they almost always fall in the same sign. Applies to the Rahu and Ketu positions. Mean is the traditional Vedic default and what printed panchangs use; the choice can move a KP sub-lord in narrow boundary cases, where a span can be as small as 0.5 degrees. Defaults to "mean". | mean |
| timezone | No | Timezone: an IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", or `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search) or decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 5.5 for IST). An IANA name is resolved to the offset in force at the given date and time. Defaults to 5.5 (IST) for Vedic astrology. | |
| longitude | Yes | Birth location longitude in decimal degrees | |
| ayanamsaValue | No | Custom ayanamsa value in degrees. When provided, overrides the computed ayanamsa from the selected type. Use for testing with specific ayanamsa values or matching a particular reference source. |
