More Vedic and KP

These six operations return positions and moments. Only the karaka scheme is a choice of school.

Chara karakas

/v1/kundli/chara-karakas ranks the seven planets by degrees in their sign, highest first, and returns the karakamsha. Rahu is not counted. Schemes with eight karakas exist and give different roles, so the answer carries scheme: seven and basis: convention.

Bhav chalit

/v1/kundli/bhav-chalit returns the Sripati bhavas, with the madhya of the 1st at the lagna and of the 10th at the midheaven. Each arambh is halfway between two madhyas. Each planet shows its whole-sign house, its bhava and whether the two differ.

KP changes and ruling planets

/v1/kp/changes lists when each planet moves to a new sign, star lord or sub lord, on the KP-New ayanamsa that /v1/kp/chart uses. A retrograde planet can return across a boundary, and that appears as its own change.

/v1/kp/ruling-intervals reads the seven ruling planets for each minute of a window at a place and joins the minutes that agree. The lagna's sub lord can change every few minutes, so expect many intervals.

Exact aspects and parallels

/v1/transits/aspects finds the moment two planets reach an exact angle of ecliptic longitude. These are angular aspects and not graha drishti, which /v1/kundli/aspects returns. Set include_moon for lunar aspects.

/v1/transits/parallels finds the moment two planets share a geocentric declination, or the same declination on opposite sides of the equator. It takes no orb.

Limits and accuracy

Times are UTC, to the minute. Ranges are at most 366 days, or 31 with the Moon. Ruling planet windows are at most 6 hours.

Jupiter and Saturn in ecliptic longitude, December 2020 18:20:29 UTC on 21 December (IMCCE) 18:26 UTC, about 6 minutes later
New and full moons, March 2026 The ephemeris library's own phase search Within 6 minutes (tested)

Tests hold both to within 6 minutes, so treat these times as accurate to several minutes.
