API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Swamsa Chart.

Swamsa Chart

The Swamsa Chart endpoint is part of the Jaimini astrology system and generates a detailed astrological chart based on the concept of Swamsa — one of the most significant and spiritually profound concepts in Jaimini Jyotish.

What is the Swamsa Chart?

In Jaimini astrology, the Atmakaraka is the planet with the highest degree in the natal chart and is considered the significator of the soul. The Swamsa is the Navamsa sign (D-9 division) occupied by this Atmakaraka planet. The Swamsa Chart is essentially the Navamsa chart analyzed from the Swamsa Lagna — the sign where the Atmakaraka resides in the Navamsa — making it a powerful lens for understanding the soul's journey, spiritual evolution, and life's deeper purpose.

What Does This API Return?

This endpoint returns structured JSON data representing the Swamsa Chart, including:

  • Planetary positions within the Swamsa chart framework
  • House significations as interpreted through the Swamsa Lagna
  • Jaimini-specific analysis including Chara Karakas and their placements
  • Insights into the native's spiritual inclinations, dharma, and soul-level desires
  • Chart data suitable for rendering visual representations of the Swamsa chart

Main Use Cases

  • Life purpose and dharma assessment — Evaluating the native's inherent nature, inclinations, and the path the soul is meant to follow in this lifetime
  • Multi-system astrological platforms — Integrating Swamsa Chart data into applications that support both Parashari and Jaimini astrological traditions
  • Comparative chart analysis — Using the Swamsa Chart alongside the Rasi and Navamsa charts for a holistic astrological profile
