We need your exact Date of Birth, Time of Birth (with source of accuracy), and Place of Birth. You must also provide 2-3 specific life events (with dates) for Birth Time Rectification (BTR).

BTR is the process of adjusting your recorded birth time to match your past life events precisely using KP Astrology. This ensures the cuspal chart is accurate down to the minute.

All premium consultations are conducted via Zoom video calls. You will receive a secure meeting link in your dashboard and via email after booking.

Yes, you are welcome to record the Zoom session for your personal reference, and we often provide a cloud recording link upon request.

We do not offer free consultations. Real astrology requires hours of deep chart analysis and BTR before the call even begins. Quality ethical readings cannot be mass-produced for free.

A comprehensive reading usually lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity of your questions and the depth of the chart.

If your birth time is entirely unknown, we recommend a Horary (Prashna) consultation instead of a natal reading. You will provide a number between 1 and 249 to answer a specific question.

We focus on behavioral and karmic remedies based on the activation of your 12 houses. We do not sell gemstones, poojas, or expensive rituals. Any gemstone suggestion is purely astrological, and you must source it independently.

After your consultation, you can log into your Dashboard and access the Follow-Up Portal to ask brief clarifying questions regarding your reading for up to 30 days.

The portal is strictly for clarifying points discussed during your original reading. Entirely new topics require booking a new consultation.

Refunds are only provided if the astrologer cancels the session or if you cancel at least 48 hours before the scheduled time. No-shows are not refunded.

We recommend focusing on 2-3 major areas of life (e.g., Career, Marriage, Health) to ensure deep analysis rather than superficial answers to many questions.

No. Ethically and legally, we strictly do not predict death, terminal illness timelines, or the gender of unborn children.

We prefer the individual to be present. However, if you are analyzing compatibility, you can provide their details, provided you have their consent to discuss their chart.

Due to high demand, slots are usually booked 1-2 weeks in advance. We recommend checking the calendar early if you have an urgent need.

If you miss your slot without prior notice, it is considered a completed session. Please communicate at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule.

No. The consultations are strictly based on Krishnamurti Padhdhati (KP). We do not blend systems, ensuring sharp, rule-based event predictions.

Yes, but with empathy and constructive guidance. Astrology is about navigating karma, not fearing it. We focus on how to manage or mitigate challenging periods through behavioral shifts.

No. While we build AI software, all premium personal consultations are done manually by Navin. The AI tools are strictly used for initial data gathering and BTR validation.

The Sandbox tier allows 100 requests/day for testing. Production tiers start at 10,000 requests/month and scale up infinitely depending on your enterprise SLA.

Currently, the API provides high-precision astronomical data (degrees, cusps, significators, Dasha levels). We are rolling out a 'Generative Insights' endpoint soon for AI-driven interpretations.

Yes, we offer an advanced endpoint that programmatically scores and adjusts birth times against an array of user-provided life event timestamps using our core engine logic.

Because it is a standard RESTful JSON API, you can consume it using any language: Python, JavaScript (Node/React), Go, Ruby, PHP, Java, or Swift.

We offer usage-based pricing starting at .05 per chart generation in production, with heavy volume discounts for enterprise partners. See the 'API Pricing' page for detailed tiers.

Yes, we provide a lightning-fast /city-search endpoint that resolves city names to accurate lat/lon coordinates and historical timezone offsets.

We currently maintain an official Python SDK (kpastro-python) and a TypeScript SDK (@kpastro/client). Both are open-source and available on GitHub/NPM.

We bill you purely on API usage. You are completely free to monetize your app, charge subscriptions, or sell PDF reports to your end users however you see fit.

No. The API is entirely stateless. We calculate the chart based on the payload you send and return the JSON. We do not store your users' birth data or PII.
