The Lal Kitab Moon Birth Chart Extended API returns a comprehensive, data-rich Lal Kitab birth chart computed from the Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) as the chart's primary reference point. It combines the Moon-sign-based chart orientation with the deeper analytical output of the extended chart family — delivering a structured JSON response that goes well beyond basic planetary placements, without performing any server-side image rendering.
What This API Returns
Given a person's birth date, time, and geographic coordinates, the API computes a Moon-sign-anchored Lal Kitab birth chart using extended calculations and returns a structured dataset that includes:
- 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 — detailed mapping of planets to houses using Lal Kitab's fixed-sign house system, oriented 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
- Extended planetary data — additional per-planet attributes including dignity, strength indicators, exaltation/debilitation status, and Lal Kitab-specific classifications
- Pitra Rin (ancestral debt) indicators — identification of which planets carry karmic debt and in which houses, computed relative to the Moon-sign chart orientation
- Retrograde and combust status — flags for planets that are retrograde or combust at birth, carrying specific interpretive weight in Lal Kitab
- Ayanamsha-corrected calculations — all sidereal positions adjusted using the specified Ayanamsha for precise astronomical accuracy
- Chart rendering data — structured output suitable for generating a visual Moon birth chart diagram on the client side
Main Use Cases
- Moon-sign-centric data pipelines — feeding Moon-chart data into downstream prediction, compatibility, or remedy engines that operate on Chandra Lagna rather than the Ascendant
- Advanced astrology platforms — powering feature-rich Lal Kitab sections that require extended Moon-chart data for in-depth life-area readings (emotional patterns, mental tendencies, relationships)
- Remedy recommendation systems — using the extended Pitra Rin classification and planetary dignity data, oriented from the Moon sign, to generate Lal Kitab-specific remedy suggestions
- Comparative chart analysis — running Moon-chart data alongside Ascendant-based extended chart data to offer users a multi-perspective Lal Kitab reading
- Research and professional tools — enabling astrologers and developers to programmatically study Moon-chart planetary patterns and extended attributes across large datasets
