natal_chartA person's birth chart.
current_skyThe sky at a moment and place — not tied to any person.
sky_viewWhere the visible bodies land in a framed photo of the sky, for an image prompt.
sky_view_sequenceA time sequence of sky frames for an animation: the same place, aim, and lens stepped through time.
synthetic_validateCheck an authored synthetic celestial system for ill-defined inputs: duplicate body ids, non-positive periods, out-of-range eccentricity, or a dangling observer.
synthetic_positionsPositions of every body in an authored synthetic system at one instant.
synthetic_sky_viewSky View for a mix of real and synthetic bodies: register the authored system on an ephemeral engine, then frame the visible sky like sky_view.
transitsTransiting planets vs natal chart: aspects within orb (applying/separating), natal house per transiting body.
synastryCompare two people's birth charts: inter-chart aspects with orbs, house overlays both ways, plus ranked citable fact atoms and a ready `brief` (synastry/composite ids for auditCitations).
find_aspect_datesExact dates a transiting body makes an aspect, within a range: to a fixed longitude OR to another transiting body.
rectification_gridRectification sweep: ASC/MC at each step across a window of UTC hours on one date, with ASC sign-change times.
sky_eventsSky events in a UTC date range: rise/set/meridian transits (need lat+lon+body), lunar phases (new/quarters/full), solar and lunar eclipses, stations (body turns retrograde/direct; needs body), zodiac degree crossings (needs body + target_lon).
planetary_hoursPlanetary hours for a moment and place: the unequal hour in effect (its ruler, day/night, hour number 1-24, start/end UTC), the ruler of the planetary day, and the full 24-hour ruler sequence.
void_of_courseVoid-of-course Moon at a moment: whether the Moon makes no further Ptolemaic aspect to a traditional planet (Sun..Saturn) before it leaves its current sign.
returnsSolar or lunar return: the instant(s) a body returns to its natal longitude within a window, plus the full return chart for the first one.
progressionsSecondary progressions (day-for-a-year) and solar-arc directions of a natal chart to a target date.
compositeRelationship charts for two people: the midpoint composite (each body and angle is the shorter-arc midpoint of the two natal positions) and the Davison chart (a real chart cast for the midpoint in time and place).
dignitiesEssential dignity and sect for the seven traditional planets at a moment and place.
lotsThe seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) — Fortune, Spirit, Eros, Necessity, Courage, Victory, Nemesis — cast from the Ascendant and reversing direction by sect (a chart is day when the Sun is above the horizon).
profectionsAnnual and monthly profections (a Hellenistic time-lord technique) at a target date.
firdariaFirdaria (firdariyyat): the Persian/medieval planetary time-lord periods.
releasingZodiacal releasing (aphesis), the Hellenistic time-lord technique from Vettius Valens, released from a Lot (Spirit by default, or Fortune).
directionsPrimary (mundane) directions of the seven traditional planets to the four angles (MC, IC, Ascendant, Descendant), and optionally between the planets themselves.
nakshatrasThe nakshatra (one of the 27 lunar mansions of 13°20′) of each classical point on the sidereal zodiac: the seven traditional planets and the Ascendant (lagna).
dashaVedic dasha periods — planetary time-lord cycles started from the Moon's birth nakshatra.
vargasParashari divisional charts (vargas): the sign of each of the seven planets and the Ascendant in the requested D-charts — D1 rasi, D2 hora, D3 drekkana, D9 navamsa, D10 dasamsa, D12 dwadasamsa, D30 trimsamsa.
yogasVedic yogas (planetary combinations) on the sidereal rasi chart: the five Pancha Mahapurusha yogas (Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya, Shasha), Gajakesari, Budha-Aditya, and Chandra-Mangala; whether Kemadruma (the isolated-Moon yoga) is present; the raja yogas (a kendra lord associating with a trikona lord) and dhana (wealth) yogas, each as the lord pair and how they associate (conjunction, aspect, or exchange); and the chart's yogakarakas (a planet ruling both a kendra and a trikona).
aspect_patternsClassical aspect configurations in a chart: T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, and stelliums by sign and by house.
chart_signatureA chart's structural signature as plain counts: element, modality, angularity, quadrant, and hemisphere distributions over the bodies; the dominant element, modality, and most-occupied sign; and the classical chart ruler (the ruler of the Ascendant's sign).
chart_factsA chart's validated facts as ranked, citable atoms for interpretation.
counterfactual_chartA birth chart, perturbed — a 'what if'.
similar_skiesFind when the sky most resembled a reference moment.
electional_searchRank moments in a window for an electional aim.
cosmic_weatherThe mundane sky on a date: the active aspect configurations among the transiting planets (T-squares, grand trines, grand crosses, yods, kites, mystic rectangles, stelliums by sign), any planet stationing within a window, and whether the Moon is void of course.
