Western Astrology

Western events over a date range

One timeline of everything that happens to a chart over 1 to 31 days, each event with its exact time. Exact major aspects from the transiting planets to the natal planets and angles, tropical sign ingresses and stations (Sun to Saturn), Moon sign changes, void-of-course periods, New and Full Moons and quarters, eclipses with their contacts, and the profection year turning on the birthday. Each event carries the verdict Lilly's rules give, or null; Uranus, Neptune and Pluto carry none. No weighting.

Request body

from_datestring nullable

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

daysinteger

Number of civil days, 1 to 31 (7 for a week, 30 for a month).

target_timezonestring nullable

IANA timezone that defines the days and local times. Defaults to the birth timezone.

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 Ascendant and MC.
