KP Significators

Endpoint POST https://starsapi.com/api/v3/vedic/kp/significators

Returns the complete KP significator analysis: the classical four levels per planet (house occupied, houses owned, star lord’s significations, planets in its stars), plus two professional-grade tables verified against reference software — house_significations (per house: planets in the stars of its occupants, the occupants, planets in the stars of its cusp sign lord, and the cusp sign lord) and graded_significators (per planet: very strong / strong / normal / weak houses, with stronger grades deduplicated from weaker ones). Ownership uses standard Parashari lords (no Rahu/Ketu co-lordship); Rahu and Ketu act through their star lords and sign dispositors.

All KP endpoints default to the KP Old (Krishnamurti) ayanamsa and mean nodes, matching classical KP ephemeris practice. Both are overridable per request.
