Birth Chart API

The natal chart is the foundation of every astrology app (Co-Star, Sanctuary, The Pattern, Chani — all built on it). AstroWay API provides a full set of endpoints to build and analyze a chart in a single call: from basic planet positions on the same Swiss Ephemeris that powers Solar Fire and Astrodienst, to rare techniques competitors don’t ship — part of the 700+ endpoint platform.

What’s calculated

A full natal chart includes the astrology trinity — three “faces” of personality users come back to explore again and again (drives retention):

Planet positions — Sun (identity/purpose), Moon (emotional core/needs), Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto + North Node, Chiron. Longitude, latitude, speed, sign, house, retrograde.
House cusps — 15 systems available (Placidus, Koch, Whole Sign, Equal, others). ASC (how others perceive the user), MC (career/public image), Vertex.
Aspects — conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile, quincunx. Orb, applying/separating.
Chart sect — diurnal/nocturnal (for classical Hellenistic astrology in the Chris Brennan / Demetra George tradition).
