API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Lal Kitab Moon Birth Chart.

The Lal Kitab Moon Birth Chart API generates a Lal Kitab birth chart anchored to the Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) and returns both the structured chart data and a fully rendered chart image in a single response. Rather than using the Ascendant as the first house, this endpoint orients the entire chart around the Moon's sidereal sign at birth — a core interpretive approach in Lal Kitab astrology — while also producing a server-side rendered visual representation of that chart.

What This API Returns

Given a person's birth date, time, geographic coordinates, and visual configuration preferences, the API computes a Moon-sign-anchored Lal Kitab birth chart and returns:

  • Planetary positions — sidereal placement of all major planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) across the 12 houses, with the Moon's sign fixed as the first house
  • House assignments — mapping of planets to houses using Lal Kitab's fixed-sign house system, reoriented from the Moon sign
  • Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) — the Moon's sidereal sign at birth, which serves as the structural foundation of the entire chart
  • Ayanamsha-corrected calculations — all sidereal positions adjusted using the specified Ayanamsha for precise astronomical accuracy
  • Rendered chart image — a server-side generated visual chart diagram reflecting the Moon-sign orientation, styled according to the visual configuration supplied in the request body (colors, sizes, fonts, chart style, and symbol preferences)

Main Use Cases

  • Moon-sign chart display — rendering a visually styled Lal Kitab Moon birth chart directly in astrology apps, websites, or PDF reports without requiring client-side chart rendering logic
  • Chandra Lagna readings — powering Moon-sign-centric Lal Kitab interpretations focused on emotional patterns, mental tendencies, and relationship dynamics
  • Personalized chart generation — producing branded or theme-matched chart images by customizing colors, line widths, font sizes, chart style (north/south/east Indian), and planet/sign display format
  • Multi-chart comparison views — displaying the Moon birth chart alongside the Ascendant-based birth chart to offer users a dual-perspective Lal Kitab reading
  • Horoscope report generation — embedding the rendered Moon chart image into automated horoscope documents or user profile pages
