Vedic Astrology and Kundli MCP Server by RoxyAPI

Get current Mahadasha, Antardasha, Pratyantardasha, Sookshma, Prana - Dasha Calculator API

post_vedic_astrology_dasha_current

Read-only

Calculate all five running Vimshottari Dasha levels with remaining time in each. The levels are Mahadasha, Antardasha, Pratyantardasha, Sookshma, and Prana. Accurate dasha calculator API for life phase prediction and planetary period analysis. Returns the dasha timeline with start/end dates for every level, ready for a current DBA readout down to hour-level timing. Pass datetime to read the five lords at any moment instead of now, which is what a reading prepared for tomorrow or a backtest over a past day needs. Set significators true to add the KP star lord, sub lord, signified houses and strength grade of each running lord, plus the houses they have in common. Essential for understanding current planetary influences, dasha transitions, and timing events in Vedic astrology. 120-year dasha system based on moon nakshatra at birth, with selectable Lahiri or KP ayanamsa.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`date`	Yes	Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Date determines planetary positions and nakshatra calculations for Vedic kundli (janam patri). Accurate birth date is essential for dashas, yoga calculations, and divisional charts (vargas).
`lang`	No	Response language (BCP 47). Supported: en, tr, de, es, hi, pt, fr, ru, zh-Hans, zh-Hant. Defaults to en. Coverage varies by domain, and a field with no translation in the requested language returns English.	en
`time`	Yes	Birth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Time is CRITICAL for Lagna (Ascendant) calculation and house divisions. It changes every two hours roughly. Even minutes matter for accurate nakshatra pada and divisional chart (D9, D10) calculations. Without exact time, Lagna and house-based predictions will be incorrect.
`focus`	No	Which signification vocabulary the houseThemes map returns. "general" gives the classical bhava significations (self, wealth, siblings, home, and so on). "finance" gives the money reading of the same twelve bhavas, so house 2 returns income and savings, 5 speculation and risk appetite, 8 sudden money and leverage, 11 gains and profits, and 12 expenses and capital outflow. Use "finance" for wealth, income, business and market timing questions in Krishnamurti Paddhati, where the significator house groups 2, 6, 10, 11 for earned income and 5, 8, 11 for speculation are read against a running dasha. Defaults to "general".	general
`compact`	No	Set true for the same data in a compact shape: arrays of same-shaped objects arrive columnar as {"__cols":[names],"__rows":[[values]]}. Lossless, typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens.
`ayanamsa`	No	Ayanamsa system used to place the birth Moon in its nakshatra, which sets every dasha start and end date. "lahiri" uses Lahiri/Chitrapaksha, the traditional Vedic standard, and is the default. "kp-newcomb" uses the KP-Newcomb dynamic formula, matching Krishnamurti Paddhati software. "kp-old" uses the Krishnamurti original table from KP Reader-1. "raman" uses the B.V. Raman ayanamsa, the second frame traditional Indian software commonly offers beside Lahiri. "custom" takes your own value in degrees via ayanamsaValue, for reconciling exactly against a specific reference program. Switching frames shifts every dasha boundary by weeks, so pick the one your reference software uses.	lahiri
`datetime`	No	ISO 8601 datetime (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) to read the running periods at, for a reading prepared for a future day, a backtest, or a chart cast for a past moment. Defaults to the current instant. Interpreted as local time in the request timezone (a trailing Z is accepted but ignored); with timezone 0 it is UTC.
`latitude`	Yes	Birth location latitude in decimal degrees. Location determines local sidereal time for Lagna calculation and affects bhava (house) cusps. Example: Delhi 28.6139, Mumbai 19.0760, Kathmandu 27.7172.
`nodeType`	No	Lunar node type for Rahu and Ketu, used ONLY when "significators" is true. Dasha dates themselves come from the Moon and never move with this field. "mean" uses the smooth mean node (traditional default). "true" uses the osculating node, which swings up to 1.5 degrees either side of mean over a 173-day cycle and can therefore change which house or star a node falls in. Defaults to "mean".	mean
`timezone`	No	Timezone: an IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", or `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search) or decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 5.5 for IST). An IANA name is resolved to the offset in force at the given date and time. Defaults to 5.5.
`longitude`	Yes	Birth location longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local time calculations and ayanamsha adjustments. Example: Delhi 77.2090, Mumbai 72.8777, Kathmandu 85.3240.
`ayanamsaValue`	No	Custom ayanamsa value in degrees. When provided, overrides the computed ayanamsa from the selected type. Use for testing with specific ayanamsa values or matching a particular reference source.
`significators`	No	Set true to attach the KP significators of each period lord: its star lord, sub lord, occupied house, the houses it signifies at levels L1 to L4, and a strength grade. Off by default, so responses stay exactly as they are for clients that only need dates. Requires the birth latitude and longitude, since significators are read off a Placidus house chart, and uses the same ayanamsa frame selected above.

Fully lossless (no field or value is dropped or changed) and typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens on large results. Prefer true whenever token or inference cost matters. Default false returns standard indented JSON."

A3.8/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds value by disclosing the output format (dasha timeline with start/end dates, hour-level timing), the optional significators behavior, and the 120-year Vimshottari system based on Moon nakshatra. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single long paragraph with promotional phrases like 'Accurate dasha calculator API' and 'Essential for understanding' that add fluff. The key information is present and the core purpose is front-loaded, but the structure is not tight or scannable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (13 params, output schema present), the description adequately covers the main behavior, optional features, and use cases like backtesting and future readings. It does not explicitly compare with sibling dasha tools, but that is partially covered by the purpose statement. The description complements the rich schema well.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for all 13 parameters, including datetime, significators, and ayanamsa. The tool description reinforces these points (e.g., 'Pass datetime to read the five lords') but does not add substantially new meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states it calculates all five running Vimshottari Dasha levels (Mahadasha, Antardasha, Pratyantardasha, Sookshma, Prana) with remaining time, which is a specific verb+resource. It differentiates from sibling tools like post_vedic_astrology_dasha_major or dasha_sub_mahadasha by covering the full hierarchy of levels.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use the datetime parameter (for future readings or backtests) and when to set significators, but it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over the other dasha endpoints or provide exclusions. The differentiation is implied through the level depth but not spelled out.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
