Western Astrology

Western daily factors

Every Western factor for one person on one day, in one shape, with no weighting. Each factor carries its raw value and range, its frame, the verdict Lilly's rules give, the rule's source, the significations it touches and the time it holds. Covers every transit-to-natal aspect with its exact time, each transiting planet's sign, dignity and natal house, the Moon's phase, sign changes and void-of-course periods, the planetary hours, and the lord of the year from annual profections. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto carry no verdict because the classical texts give none.

Request body

locationstring nullable

City name to resolve to lat/lon/tz automatically. Example: 'Mumbai' or 'New Delhi, India'. If provided, latitude, longitude and timezone are not required.

namestring

Person name associated with the birth record

datestring required

Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format

timestring nullable

Birth time in HH:MM 24-hour format. If omitted, the chart is cast for 06:00 local time (not a sunrise chart) and birth_time_provided is false: houses, the Ascendant, the sect and the Moon's exact degree are then approximate.

latitudenumber nullable

Latitude. Required if location not provided.

longitudenumber nullable

Longitude. Required if location not provided.

timezonestring nullable

IANA timezone. Required if location not provided (unless utc_offset is given). For dates before the zone adopted a standard time, the birthplace's local mean time (longitude / 15 hours) is used.

utc_offsetstring nullable

Optional explicit UTC offset of the birth time, as ±HH:MM or ±HH:MM:SS (e.g. '+04:51:31' for Bombay mean time). Overrides the offset timezone would give. Use it when the birth record states the offset, or for historical local times the IANA database cannot represent.

ayanamsa'lahiri' | 'raman' | 'kp' | 'tropical'

Ignored on Western endpoints: positions are always tropical (no ayanamsa). Accepted so one birth object can be sent to Vedic and Western endpoints alike.

house_system'placidus' | 'koch' | 'equal' | 'whole_sign'

Natal house system for the natal_house of each transiting planet.

target_datestring nullable

Day to read (YYYY-MM-DD, civil day in target_timezone). Defaults to today in the birth timezone.

target_timezonestring nullable

IANA timezone of the day. Defaults to the birth timezone.

target_latitudenumber nullable

Place for the planetary hours. Defaults to the birthplace.

target_longitudenumber nullable

Longitude of that place, east positive. Defaults to the birthplace.
