Get KP ruling planets with significators at intervals
post_vedic_astrology_kp_ruling_planets_intervalRead-only
Calculate ruling planets and their KP significators at regular time intervals using Krishnamurti Paddhati prashna (horary) astrology. For each interval, a full Placidus house chart is erected and significators are computed using the 4-level KP hierarchy: Level 1 (strongest) planets in star of house occupant, Level 2 occupants, Level 3 planets in star of house owner, Level 4 house owner. Returns Day Lord (sunrise-based Hindu Vara), Moon Sign/Star/Sub/Sub-Sub Lords, Lagna Sign/Star/Sub/Sub-Sub Lords, unique ruling planets set, and per-ruling-planet house significations. No birth data needed, significators come from each moments sky chart. Use for birth time rectification, muhurta selection, and KP horary number analysis. The latitude must lie below 66.56 degrees north or south, inside the polar circles: KP cusps are Placidus, which has no solution beyond them, so a polar latitude returns 400.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 for sidereal conversion. "kp-newcomb" uses the KP-Newcomb dynamic formula, the most common choice for KP astrology. "kp-old" uses the Krishnamurti original table from KP Reader-1 with constant precession rate. "lahiri" uses Lahiri/Chitrapaksha ayanamsa, matching most traditional Vedic software. "raman" uses the B.V. Raman ayanamsa from Hindu Predictive Astrology, a recognised traditional school that sits about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. Defaults to "kp-newcomb". | kp-newcomb |
| latitude | Yes | Observer latitude in decimal degrees. The latitude must lie below 66.56 degrees north or south, inside the polar circles: KP cusps are Placidus, which has no solution beyond them, so a polar latitude returns 400. | |
| nodeType | No | Lunar node convention. "mean" is the smoothed average node, which always moves retrograde; "true" is the osculating node, which tracks the real perturbed node, oscillates up to about 1.5 degrees either side of the mean on a 173-day cycle, and can briefly turn direct. Neither is more correct and they almost always fall in the same sign. Applies to the Rahu and Ketu positions. Mean is the traditional Vedic default and what printed panchangs use; the choice can move a KP sub-lord in narrow boundary cases, where a span can be as small as 0.5 degrees. 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 once, at the start of the window, and that offset applies to every time in the response. When non-zero, all datetimes are treated as local time in this timezone (Z suffix is ignored). Output times are also converted to this timezone. Defaults to 5.5 (IST). | |
| longitude | Yes | Observer longitude in decimal degrees | |
| endDatetime | Yes | End of the interval range in ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS). Interpreted as local time when a non-zero timezone is provided (a trailing Z is accepted but ignored); with timezone 0 it is UTC. | |
| startDatetime | Yes | Start of the interval range in ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS). Interpreted as local time when a non-zero timezone is provided (a trailing Z is accepted but ignored); with timezone 0 it is UTC. | |
| intervalMinutes | Yes | Interval between calculations in minutes (1-1440). Use 1-5 for birth time rectification. |
