Forecast
These operations return dated facts about a chart. They say what happens and when, not what it will bring. If you add interpretation, it is yours to write and to stand behind. All of them need a birth time.
What each one returns
/v1/forecast/timeline: dasha and antardasha changes, the start and end of Sade Sati and Dhaiya, and sign changes of Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu. At most 5 years./v1/forecast/transits: sign changes, and the minute a transiting planet reaches or opposes a natal planet or the lagna. At most 366 days, or 31 with the Moon. A retrograde planet can reach the same degree three times./v1/forecast/significant-dates: the larger dates over at most 10 years. Themajorandnotableweights are our convention, and the response states the rule./v1/forecast/digest: one month, with the running periods, where the planets stand and the dated events. It lists all sign changes, plus the conjunctions of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu with natal points./v1/forecast/solar-return: the minute the Sun returns to its birth longitude, with the chart for that minute.frame: tropicalchanges the moment only.
