sky_viewWhere the visible bodies land in a framed photo of the sky, for an image prompt.
Inferred read-onlysky_view_sequenceA time sequence of sky frames for an animation: the same place, aim, and lens stepped through time.
Inferred read-onlysynthetic_validateCheck an authored synthetic celestial system for ill-defined inputs: duplicate body ids, non-positive periods, out-of-range eccentricity, or a dangling observer.
Inferred read-onlysynthetic_positionsPositions of every body in an authored synthetic system at one instant.
Inferred read-onlysynthetic_sky_viewSky 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.
Inferred read-onlytransitsTransiting planets vs natal chart: aspects within orb (applying/separating), natal house per transiting body.
Inferred read-onlysynastryCompare 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).
Inferred read-onlyfind_aspect_datesExact dates a transiting body makes an aspect, within a range: to a fixed longitude OR to another transiting body.
Inferred read-onlyrectification_gridRectification sweep: ASC/MC at each step across a window of UTC hours on one date, with ASC sign-change times.
Inferred read-onlysky_eventsSky 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).
Inferred read-onlyplanetary_hoursPlanetary 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.
Inferred read-onlyvoid_of_courseVoid-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.
Inferred read-onlyreturnsSolar 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.
Inferred read-onlyprogressionsSecondary progressions (day-for-a-year) and solar-arc directions of a natal chart to a target date.
Inferred read-onlycompositeRelationship 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).
Inferred read-onlydignitiesEssential dignity and sect for the seven traditional planets at a moment and place.
Inferred read-onlylotsThe 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).
Inferred read-onlyprofectionsAnnual and monthly profections (a Hellenistic time-lord technique) at a target date.
Inferred read-onlyreleasingZodiacal releasing (aphesis), the Hellenistic time-lord technique from Vettius Valens, released from a Lot (Spirit by default, or Fortune).
Inferred read-onlydirectionsPrimary (mundane) directions of the seven traditional planets to the four angles (MC, IC, Ascendant, Descendant), and optionally between the planets themselves.
Inferred read-onlynakshatrasThe 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).
Inferred read-onlydashaVedic dasha periods — planetary time-lord cycles started from the Moon's birth nakshatra.
Inferred read-onlyvargasParashari divisional charts (vargas): the sign of each of the seven planets and the Ascendant in the requested D-charts — D1 rasi, D2 hora, D3 drekkana, D9 navamsa, D10 dasamsa, D12 dwadasamsa, D30 trimsamsa.
Inferred read-onlyyogasVedic yogas (planetary combinations) on the sidereal rasi chart: the five Pancha Mahapurusha yogas (Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya, Shasha), Gajakesari, Budha-Aditya, and Chandra-Mangala; whether Kemadruma (the isolated-Moon yoga) is present; the raja yogas (a kendra lord associating with a trikona lord) and dhana (wealth) yogas, each as the lord pair and how they associate (conjunction, aspect, or exchange); and the chart's yogakarakas (a planet ruling both a kendra and a trikona).
Inferred read-onlyaspect_patternsClassical aspect configurations in a chart: T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, and stelliums by sign and by house.
Inferred read-onlyparansParans (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.
Inferred read-onlychart_signatureA 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).
Inferred read-onlycosmic_weatherThe 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.
