Generate an interactive Vedic birth chart as a clickable South Indian Rashi grid, revealing sidereal placements, nakshatras, and Lagna with precise ephemeris data.
Instructions
Generate an interactive Vedic (Jyotish) birth chart as a South Indian fixed-sign Rashi grid, with clickable rashis showing sidereal placements, nakshatras, and the Lagna.
CREDIT COST: 3 credits per call (chart calculation + visual render).
Returns an embedded visual explorer that lets you click any rashi cell for its themes and any planets placed there. Shows sidereal (Lahiri by default) planet placements, nakshatra with pada, navamsa, and the Lagna (Ascendant) rashi. Uses NASA JPL DE440 ephemerides. Use this for a rich, interactive Jyotish experience in MCP Apps-capable hosts (Claude Desktop). Falls back to a text summary in other hosts.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ayanamsa | No | Ayanamsa system for sidereal conversion. Defaults to 'lahiri'. | |
| datetime | Yes | ISO 8601 birth datetime in UTC, e.g. '1990-06-15T14:30:00Z'. Include 'Z' or a timezone offset. | |
| latitude | No | Birth latitude in decimal degrees (positive = North). Optional if `location` is a place name — the resolver fills it in. Never recall coordinates from memory; either supply a place name or resolve with location_search first. | |
| location | No | Birth location. Prefer a plain place name like 'Mumbai, India' — the server resolves it via the same lookup `location_search` uses (unambiguous names → coords + timezone; ambiguous names throw with a disambiguation hint). Supplied coords always win. | |
| timezone | No | IANA timezone name for the birth location (e.g. 'Asia/Kolkata'). Recommended for accuracy if providing local birth time without a UTC offset. | |
| longitude | No | Birth longitude in decimal degrees (positive = East). Optional if `location` is a place name. |
