The Lal Kitab Moon Birth Chart Image Extended API generates a fully rendered, visually customizable Lal Kitab birth chart image constructed from the Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) as the chart's reference point, rather than the Ascendant (Lagna). It combines Moon-sign-based chart computation with the enriched analytical depth of the extended chart family and the server-side image rendering of the image endpoints — making it the most comprehensive Moon-chart image endpoint in the Lal Kitab series.
What This API Returns
Given a person's birth date, time, geographic coordinates, and visual configuration options, the API computes a Moon-sign-anchored Lal Kitab birth chart using extended calculations and returns a rendered image that includes:
- A rendered Moon birth chart image — a complete Lal Kitab Kundali diagram with the Moon sign placed in the first house, and all other planets distributed across the remaining 11 houses accordingly, drawn in the caller's chosen regional chart style
- Extended planetary data reflected in the image — placements are computed using the full extended chart logic, incorporating planetary dignity, strength indicators, Pitra Rin (ancestral debt) classification, and retrograde/combust status
- Chart style variants — support for North Indian, South Indian, and East Indian chart layouts
- Fully customized visuals — background color, inner and outer line colors and widths, sign and planet colors, font sizes, and chart dimensions are all configurable per request
- Symbol or text rendering — planets and signs can be displayed as traditional astrological symbols or as text labels/numbers
- Ayanamsha-corrected planetary positions — all placements are computed using the specified Ayanamsha for precise sidereal accuracy
Main Use Cases
- Moon-sign-centric astrology features — powering Lal Kitab chart sections for platforms or traditions that prefer the Moon sign as the primary chart reference over the Ascendant, which is common in many North Indian astrological practices
- Complementary chart views — offering users a Moon chart alongside the standard Ascendant-based birth chart, providing a more complete astrological picture within the same application
- Detailed horoscope report generation — embedding a Moon-chart image in PDF or email reports that accompany Lal Kitab readings focused on emotional patterns, mental tendencies, and Moon-house-based predictions
- Remedy and debt analysis — using the extended Pitra Rin and planetary dignity data underlying the image to support Moon-chart-specific remedy recommendations
- Premium and professional astrology tools — providing practitioners and advanced users with a visually polished, analytically rich Moon chart image suitable for client consultations and printed materials
