Methodology and astrological context for Rasi Gunak.
Computes the Rasi Gunak (sign multiplier) values for a person's Vedic birth chart — a classical Ashtakavarga technique that derives a weighted multiplier for each of the twelve signs by combining the fully reduced Ashtakavarga scores with the number of planets transiting or placed in each sign, producing a composite strength index used for sign-level predictive analysis.
Rasi Gunak is a further analytical layer built on top of the fully reduced Sarvashtakavarga (after both Trikon Shodhan and Ekadhipatya Shodhan have been applied). In classical Vedic Ashtakavarga methodology, the Rasi Gunak for a sign is obtained by multiplying the reduced Sarvashtakavarga score of that sign's house by the number of planets currently occupying or transiting through that sign. This product yields a composite index that reflects not just the inherent strength of the house, but also how much of that strength is being activated by planetary presence.
Signs with a high Rasi Gunak are considered especially potent during the relevant period — they concentrate both structural strength (from the Ashtakavarga) and active planetary energy (from occupancy). Signs with a low Rasi Gunak, even if their raw Ashtakavarga score is moderate, indicate reduced activation and weaker outcomes for the life domains governed by those signs and houses.
This endpoint computes the full birth chart from the provided date, time, and geographic coordinates, applies the complete Ashtakavarga reduction pipeline (Trikon Shodhan followed by Ekadhipatya Shodhan), and then calculates the Rasi Gunak for each of the twelve signs. The result is a sign-wise composite strength index ready for use in transit analysis, muhurta selection, and period-based predictions.
The API returns a structured JSON response including:
X-Ayanamsha header allows selection of the sidereal calculation system (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP), ensuring the chart and all Ashtakavarga computations are performed according to the practitioner's preferred Vedic tradition.Accept-Language header enables localized descriptions and interpretations, making the API suitable for a global, multilingual user base.Payload specifications for JSON request body.
