KP Ruling Planets
asterwise_get_kp_ruling_planetsComputes KP ruling planets at a latitude and longitude for the current instant or a given local date and time, with no birth data. Returns the day lord, Moon and Ascendant lord chains, and a deduplicated ruling_planets list.
WORKFLOW: BEFORE: None — this tool is standalone. AFTER: asterwise_get_kp_chart — if natal confirmation is needed afterwards.
INPUT CONTRACT: lat and lon required. Optional target_date (YYYY-MM-DD), target_time (HH:MM), target_timezone (IANA; defaults to the zone at lat/lon). With neither date nor time the server uses the current instant (KP judges ruling planets at the moment of judgment); time only = that time today; date only = 12:00 local. data.target_utc and data.target_timezone show what was used. target_date must be within 1800-01-01 to 2099-12-31. A time skipped by a daylight-saving change is read with the offset before the change (moved forward by the gap); a time that occurred twice is read as the first occurrence; data.local_time_status is 'nonexistent' / 'ambiguous' / 'ok'.
DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_kp_chart — needs BirthData and returns full natal KP cusps. asterwise_get_prashna_chart — horary keyword workflow, not ruling-planet snapshot.
