aspect_patterns
lat*lon*date*zodiachouse_system
Classical aspect configurations in a chart: T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, and stelliums by sign and by house. Each is a structured object… Classical aspect configurations in a chart: T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, and stelliums by sign and by house. Each is a structured object with the participating bodies and the worst defining-aspect orb; T-squares and yods also name the apex, stelliums their sign or house. Reported patterns are maximal — a grand cross hides the T-squares it contains, a kite its grand trine. Pure geometry (engine orbs plus a quincunx for yods), no interpretation. Needs date, lat, lon.
chart_facts
latlondatewhenlimitplace
+11
A chart's validated facts as ranked, citable atoms for interpretation. Each fact has a stable id (e.g. "aspect:moon~neptune:conjunction"), the bodies it concerns, a salience score… A chart's validated facts as ranked, citable atoms for interpretation. Each fact has a stable id (e.g. "aspect:moon~neptune:conjunction"), the bodies it concerns, a salience score (luminaries, angular placements, the chart ruler, tight/hard aspects, configurations rank high), and a plain-language statement. Facts span placements, aspects, configurations, the structural signature, dispositors and receptions, a body's tight conjunction with a bright fixed star (e.g. "star:jupiter:Sirius"), and the Part of Fortune and Spirit (e.g. "lot:fortune"). Read the facts, write the interpretation in your own words, and cite the [id] each statement rests on — do not introduce facts not listed. Returns the ranked facts plus a ready-to-interpret `brief`. By default a real birth chart: pass date+lat+lon. The chart's grounding is first-class via `realm` (what it is: observed/forecast/fictional/mythic/archetypal/…) and the time: an exact `date`, an uncertain `earliest`+`latest` range (the brief then frames it as provisional and trusts the Moon/angles/houses less), `constraints` for an archetypal chart with no time (synthesized via the compiler), or a full structured `when` (relative-to-another-event or a narrative calendar). A `when` of kind `relative` looks its `anchorId` up in `anchors` (a map of id → UTC instant supplied in the request). Omit lat+lon for a placeless chart (nominal houses).
chart_signature
lat*lon*date*zodiachouse_system
A chart's structural signature as plain counts: element, modality, angularity, quadrant, and hemisphere distributions over the bodies; the dominant element, modality, and most-occu… A chart's structural signature as plain counts: element, modality, angularity, quadrant, and hemisphere distributions over the bodies; the dominant element, modality, and most-occupied sign; and the classical chart ruler (the ruler of the Ascendant's sign). Counts only, no interpretation — a compact summary for emphasis and comparison. Needs date, lat, lon.
composite
a*b*zodiachouse_system
Relationship charts for two people: the midpoint composite (each body and angle is the shorter-arc midpoint of the two natal positions) and the Davison chart (a real chart cast for… Relationship charts for two people: the midpoint composite (each body and angle is the shorter-arc midpoint of the two natal positions) and the Davison chart (a real chart cast for the midpoint in time and place). Each person needs date+lat+lon.
cosmic_weather
date*zodiacwindow_days
The mundane sky on a date: the active aspect configurations among the transiting planets (T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, stelliums by sign)… The mundane sky on a date: the active aspect configurations among the transiting planets (T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, stelliums by sign), any planet stationing within a window, and whether the Moon is void of course. A 'cosmic weather' snapshot; no birth chart or location needed.
counterfactual_chart
lat*lon*date*zodiacmove_latmove_lon
+3
A birth chart, perturbed — a 'what if'. Give a base chart (date+lat+lon) and an edit: `shift_time` (e.g. '1h', '-30m', 'P1D') moves the instant ("born an hour later"), `move_lat`+`… A birth chart, perturbed — a 'what if'. Give a base chart (date+lat+lon) and an edit: `shift_time` (e.g. '1h', '-30m', 'P1D') moves the instant ("born an hour later"), `move_lat`+`move_lon` recompute at another place, and/or `set_longitudes` moves bodies to new ecliptic degrees ("Mars in the next sign"). Returns the diff vs the original: bodies that changed sign or house, aspects gained or lost, and angles that changed sign. A time/place edit rotates the houses and angles while planets stay put; a longitude splice moves only those bodies and recomputes their aspects.
current_sky
latlondategridoutputzodiac
+3
The sky at a moment and place — not tied to any person. Use for "what's the sky/transits right now" or the chart of a non-birth event. Date defaults to now; lat/lon default to 0,0… The sky at a moment and place — not tied to any person. Use for "what's the sky/transits right now" or the chart of a non-birth event. Date defaults to now; lat/lon default to 0,0 (geocentric on the equator at the prime meridian), where houses and ASC/MC are nominal — pass a real location if houses matter. For a specific person's birth chart use natal_chart instead. Returns positions, houses, retrogrades, aspects.
dasha

Returns the period timeline (mahadasha → antardasha) with UTC start/end, the balance of the first period at birth, and — when target_date is given — the lords active then (Vimshottari also gives the pratyantardasha). Sidereal; Lahiri by default. Needs the birth time and place.
dignities
lat*lon*date*zodiac
Essential dignity and sect for the seven traditional planets at a moment and place. Per planet: its sign, any essential dignity (domicile/exaltation/detriment/fall), its weighted e… Essential dignity and sect for the seven traditional planets at a moment and place. Per planet: its sign, any essential dignity (domicile/exaltation/detriment/fall), its weighted essential-dignity score (Lilly: rulership 5, exaltation 4, triplicity 3, term 2, face 1; detriment -5, fall -4) with a peregrine flag, its planetary sect (diurnal/nocturnal, null for Mercury), and whether it is in sect given a day or night chart. The chart is day when the Sun is above the horizon — so lat+lon are required.
directions
keylat*lon*date*max_yearsinclude_mundane
Primary (mundane) directions of the seven traditional planets to the four angles (MC, IC, Ascendant, Descendant), and optionally between the planets themselves. The diurnal rotatio… Primary (mundane) directions of the seven traditional planets to the four angles (MC, IC, Ascendant, Descendant), and optionally between the planets themselves. The diurnal rotation carries a body to the angle (or a promissor to a significator); the arc of rotation, converted by a time key (Naibod 0.9856473°/yr by default, or Ptolemy 1°/yr), gives the age of the direction. Returns the directions within max_years, sorted by age, each with its arc, age in years, and UTC date. With include_mundane, also returns the planet-to-planet (promissor → significator) directions. Circumpolar bodies have no Ascendant/Descendant directions. Needs the birth time and place; equatorial, so zodiac is irrelevant.
electional_search

+1
Rank moments in a window for an electional aim. Samples the window and scores each instant by how closely a set of wanted body-to-body aspects is satisfied (tighter and applying as… Rank moments in a window for an electional aim. Samples the window and scores each instant by how closely a set of wanted body-to-body aspects is satisfied (tighter and applying aspects score higher), optionally penalizing a void-of-course Moon. Returns the top moments with the aspects that matched. Body-to-body only; for aspects to the angles, compute the chart at a candidate moment.

Life divides into nine major periods totalling 75 years — the seven planets (a day chart starts with the S… Firdaria (firdariyyat): the Persian/medieval planetary time-lord periods. Life divides into nine major periods totalling 75 years — the seven planets (a day chart starts with the Sun, a night chart with the Moon) then the North and South Nodes — each planetary period split into seven sub-periods. Returns the full timeline (each period and sub-period with UTC start/end) and, when target_date is given, the major and sub lord active then. Sect is taken from the birth chart, so lat+lon are required; pure time arithmetic, no zodiac.
lots
lat*lon*date*zodiac
The seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) — Fortune, Spirit, Eros, Necessity, Courage, Victory, Nemesis — cast from the Ascendant and reversing direction by sect (a chart is day when… The seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) — Fortune, Spirit, Eros, Necessity, Courage, Victory, Nemesis — cast from the Ascendant and reversing direction by sect (a chart is day when the Sun is above the horizon). Per lot: its longitude and zodiacal position. Lots are anchored to the Ascendant, so an exact time and lat+lon are required. Fortune and Spirit are mirror images about the Ascendant. Tropical by default.
nakshatras
lat*lon*date*zodiac
The nakshatra (one of the 27 lunar mansions of 13°20′) of each classical point on the sidereal zodiac: the seven traditional planets and the Ascendant (lagna). Per point: the naksh… The nakshatra (one of the 27 lunar mansions of 13°20′) of each classical point on the sidereal zodiac: the seven traditional planets and the Ascendant (lagna). Per point: the nakshatra name, its pada (quarter, 1–4), the ruling planet (the Vimshottari lord), and degrees into the nakshatra. The Moon's nakshatra (janma nakshatra) anchors the Vimshottari dasha. Sidereal by definition; Lahiri ayanamsa by default. Needs the birth time and place for the Ascendant.
natal_chart

Use this — not current_sky — whenever the question is about someone's natal… A person's birth chart. Requires their exact birth date+time and birthplace (all three: date, lat, lon). Use this — not current_sky — whenever the question is about someone's natal/birth chart. Returns 13 bodies (sun–pluto, chiron, nodes) with sign, house, retrograde, speed; ASC/MC; cusps; major aspects with orb, applying/separating phase, and strength (1=exact). Vs Swiss Ephemeris (1850–2150): Sun–Saturn ≤1″, Uranus ≤1.9″, Neptune ≤4.6″, Moon ≤2.5″, Pluto ≤3.4″ (Chebyshev pack), Chiron ≤1″, mean node ≤1″, true node ≤ 1′ vs SE's built-in ephemeris.
parans

Parans (paranatellonta): co-angular bodies over the 24 hours from a date at a latitude — every pair of bodies simultaneously on one of the four angles (rising, culminating, setting… Parans (paranatellonta): co-angular bodies over the 24 hours from a date at a latitude — every pair of bodies simultaneously on one of the four angles (rising, culminating, setting, anti-culminating) within a stated tolerance. The relationship behind Brady's fixed-star parans, computed for the moving bodies; pure positional astronomy over the validated rise/set/transit times. Longitude-independent: latitude alone fixes the geometry, so only lat is needed. Date defaults to now.
planetary_hours
lat*lon*date
Planetary hours for a moment and place: the unequal hour in effect (its ruler, day/night, hour number 1-24, start/end UTC), the ruler of the planetary day, and the full 24-hour rul… Planetary hours for a moment and place: the unequal hour in effect (its ruler, day/night, hour number 1-24, start/end UTC), the ruler of the planetary day, and the full 24-hour ruler sequence. Hours split the day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into twelve each; the day ruler is the weekday ruler and the hours follow the Chaldean order. Needs lat+lon. Returns available:false above the polar circles when the Sun does not rise or set that day.
profections
lat*lon*date*zodiactarget_date*
Annual and monthly profections (a Hellenistic time-lord technique) at a target date. The natal Ascendant advances one whole sign per year of life; the profected sign's traditional… Annual and monthly profections (a Hellenistic time-lord technique) at a target date. The natal Ascendant advances one whole sign per year of life; the profected sign's traditional ruler is the lord of the year, the single most important time-lord for that year. Returns the age in years, the month within the profection year, and the annual and monthly profected sign (with its whole-sign house from the natal Ascendant and its lord). Needs the birth time and place for the Ascendant.
progressions
date*zodiactarget_date*
Secondary progressions (day-for-a-year) and solar-arc directions of a natal chart to a target date. Returns, per body, the secondary-progressed longitude and the solar-arc-directed… Secondary progressions (day-for-a-year) and solar-arc directions of a natal chart to a target date. Returns, per body, the secondary-progressed longitude and the solar-arc-directed longitude, plus the solar arc itself. Longitudes only (no houses), so no birthplace is needed.
rectification_grid
lat*lon*date*step_minuteswindow_end_hourwindow_start_hour
Rectification sweep: ASC/MC at each step across a window of UTC hours on one date, with ASC sign-change times. Use when the birth time is unknown and you want candidate times. The… Rectification sweep: ASC/MC at each step across a window of UTC hours on one date, with ASC sign-change times. Use when the birth time is unknown and you want candidate times. The sweep runs over window_start_hour..window_end_hour (UTC hours of the given date); the date's time portion is ignored.
releasing

+2
Zodiacal releasing (aphesis), the Hellenistic time-lord technique from Vettius Valens, released from a Lot (Spirit by default, or Fortune). From the Lot's sign, periods release sig… Zodiacal releasing (aphesis), the Hellenistic time-lord technique from Vettius Valens, released from a Lot (Spirit by default, or Fortune). From the Lot's sign, periods release sign by sign with planetary minor-year lengths on the 360-day-year convention; each level is a twelfth of the one above (L1..L4), and a loop back to the starting sign looses the bond, jumping once to the opposite sign (+6). Returns the timeline down to max_level over the horizon and, when target_date is given, the L1..L4 lords active then. Anchored to the natal Lot, so an exact time and lat+lon are required.
returns
lat*lon*body*date*gridoutput
+7
Solar or lunar return: the instant(s) a body returns to its natal longitude within a window, plus the full return chart for the first one. The Sun returns about yearly (the solar-r… Solar or lunar return: the instant(s) a body returns to its natal longitude within a window, plus the full return chart for the first one. The Sun returns about yearly (the solar-return chart for the year), the Moon about monthly. Return chart is cast for the return moment at return_lat/return_lon (defaults to the birthplace; pass the current/relocated place for a relocated return).
similar_skies

Builds a feature vector for the reference date's planetary configuration and scans a window for the closest matches by cosine s… Find when the sky most resembled a reference moment. Builds a feature vector for the reference date's planetary configuration and scans a window for the closest matches by cosine similarity (1.0 = identical configuration). Answers 'when did the sky last look like this?' for transit echoes and historical analogues. Returns the top matches with their similarity, highest first.
sky_events
end*latlonbodykinds*start*
+2
Sky events in a UTC date range: rise/set/meridian transits (need lat+lon+body), lunar phases (new/quarters/full), solar and lunar eclipses, stations (body turns retrograde/direct;… Sky events in a UTC date range: rise/set/meridian transits (need lat+lon+body), lunar phases (new/quarters/full), solar and lunar eclipses, stations (body turns retrograde/direct; needs body), zodiac degree crossings (needs body + target_lon). Solar eclipses report global circumstances (type, magnitude, gamma) plus the greatest-eclipse location and path width; add lat+lon to also get local circumstances (type seen, magnitude, obscuration, contact times C1-C4). Lunar eclipses report type and magnitude; add lat+lon to learn whether the Moon is above the horizon there. Times to the second vs Swiss Ephemeris (stations to ~1 min: ill-conditioned by nature). Range <= 370 days.
sky_view

Give a place, a moment, an aim (compass direction and altitude), a lens, and an image size; get eac… Where the visible bodies land in a framed photo of the sky, for an image prompt. Give a place, a moment, an aim (compass direction and altitude), a lens, and an image size; get each in-frame body's pixel position, apparent size, brightness, the Moon's phase orientation, a sky-state summary (twilight, limiting magnitude, horizon row), the bright bodies just outside the frame, a ready-to-use prompt, and a machine-readable `renderPlan` (a body-free background-plate prompt plus the computed layers to composite locally, for a hybrid render pipeline). Caelus computes the geometry and photometry; it does NOT render the image. For "at sunset", first find the set time with sky_events, then pass it as date.
sky_view_sequence
lat*lon*datelenswidthbortle
+5
A time sequence of sky frames for an animation: the same place, aim, and lens stepped through time. Returns a compact per-frame timeline (instant, twilight, Sun/Moon altitude, Moon… A time sequence of sky frames for an animation: the same place, aim, and lens stepped through time. Returns a compact per-frame timeline (instant, twilight, Sun/Moon altitude, Moon phase + bright-limb, whether the Milky Way is in frame) plus the fixed celestial pole and the sky's sidereal rotation per frame. Each frame's full pixel-accurate spec comes from calling sky_view at that instant; this tool plans the timeline. Use for sunset-to-night transitions, star-trail planning, or Moon-phase progressions.
synastry
a*b*orbzodiac
Compare two people's birth charts: inter-chart aspects with orbs, house overlays both ways, plus ranked citable fact atoms and a ready `brief` (synastry/composite ids for auditCita… Compare two people's birth charts: inter-chart aspects with orbs, house overlays both ways, plus ranked citable fact atoms and a ready `brief` (synastry/composite ids for auditCitations). Each person needs date+lat+lon. House overlays always use Placidus (not configurable here).
synthetic_positions
datesystem*t_days
Positions of every body in an authored synthetic system at one instant. Three body modes: `placement` (fixed longitude), `periodic` (uniform motion), `kepler` (constant elements).… Positions of every body in an authored synthetic system at one instant. Three body modes: `placement` (fixed longitude), `periodic` (uniform motion), `kepler` (constant elements). With `observer` set on the system, positions are geocentric/apparent from that body (outer bodies can show retrograde). Pass `t_days` for abstract day units, or `date` (UT ISO) when body `epoch` values are Julian Days. Returns speed and retrograde per body.
synthetic_sky_view
lat*lon*datelenswidthbodies
+7

Synthetic bodies can carry render at… Sky View for a mix of real and synthetic bodies: register the authored system on an ephemeral engine, then frame the visible sky like sky_view. Synthetic bodies can carry render attributes (sizeDeg, magnitude, color) that flow into the pixel spec and prompt. Real Sun/Moon/planets stay for twilight and context unless omitted from `bodies`.
synthetic_validate

Returns `impossibl… Check an authored synthetic celestial system for ill-defined inputs: duplicate body ids, non-positive periods, out-of-range eccentricity, or a dangling observer. Returns `impossible` and a list of problems — the same honesty pattern as compileForm.

Per point in each chart: the divisional sign and the division number within the rasi. The navamsa (D9) is the most consulted after the rasi. Sidereal; Lahiri by default. Needs the birth time and place for the Ascendant.
void_of_course

Void-of-course Moon at a moment: whether the Moon makes no further Ptolemaic aspect to a traditional planet (Sun..Saturn) before it leaves its current sign. Returns the Moon's sign… Void-of-course Moon at a moment: whether the Moon makes no further Ptolemaic aspect to a traditional planet (Sun..Saturn) before it leaves its current sign. Returns the Moon's sign, the UTC time it exits that sign, and the UTC time of its next perfecting aspect (null when none remains -- i.e. void). Tropical by default.
