How the KP number method works

In Krishnamurti Paddhati's horary (Prashna) system, you think of any whole number from 1 to 249 at the exact moment your question is genuinely on your mind. That number fixes an Ascendant longitude, which seeds a full chart cast for that instant — judged exactly like any other horary chart, by checking the Ascendant's cuspal sub-lord against the houses your question depends on.

Why 249, not 243 or 250: the 243 sub-lord divisions of the zodiac (see the KP Sub Lord Table) are overlaid with the 12 sign boundaries. A sub-division that straddles a sign cusp is split into two numbered segments sharing the same star/sub lord but sitting in different signs — which is how 243 becomes 249.

FAQ

What does a horary number mean?

Each number marks one zodiac segment with its own unique sign/nakshatra/star-lord/sub-lord signature. The number you think of fixes the Ascendant for a chart cast at that instant.

Why 249 numbers, not 243 or 250?

243 sub-lord divisions overlaid with 12 sign boundaries produce 249 distinct segments — a sub-division straddling a sign cusp gets split into two numbered rows.

How do I pick a number?

Classically, at the exact moment the question is genuinely on your mind — not decided in advance, and not chosen to suit the question.

Is this the same as casting a horary chart?

This table only shows what each number means. Use "Ask" on any row (or go to /horary directly) to get an actual Promised/Denied verdict for your question.
