|---|---|---|---|
date | string | yes | Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Determines planetary positions for the specific calendar day |
time | string | yes | Birth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Determines the Ascendant (rising sign) and house cusps. Use 12:00:00 if unknown |
latitude | number | yes | Birth location latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90). Positive = North, negative = South. Call /location/search to get this |
longitude | number | yes | Birth location longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180). Positive = East, negative = West. Call /location/search to get this |
timezone | number or string | yes | Decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 5.5 for IST) OR IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Asia/Kolkata"). IANA strings resolve to the DST-correct offset for the given date, so you can pass cities[0].timezone from /location/search directly |
houseSystem | string | no | placidus (default), whole-sign, equal, or koch. Placidus is most popular in Western astrology and time-sensitive. Whole Sign assigns one sign per house. Equal divides the chart into 30 degree segments from the Ascendant. Koch emphasizes houses in high latitudes |
