Understanding
Krishnamurti’s work.
Explore the ideas behind the method: a closer reading of the stars, their subdivisions and the house cusp.
A focus on stellar influences
Developed by Indian astrologer K. S. Krishnamurti in the twentieth century, Krishnamurti Paddhati focuses on Nakshatras and their subdivisions rather than zodiac signs alone. This emphasis is the foundation of the method’s use of Star Lords and Sub Lords.
From principles to chart reading
Studying the method means learning how those layers relate to planetary positions, house cusps and significators. The article library explores these concepts through explanations and worked examples.
