Akshavedamsa(D45) Chart Info - Free Astrology API

Overview

The Akshavedamsa (D45) Chart Info API calculates planetary placements in the Akshavedamsa divisional chart using a person's birth date, time, and geographical location. In traditional Vedic astrology, the D45 chart is associated with character, conduct, virtues, and deeper personality traits. It provides an additional perspective alongside the main birth chart (D1).

The API provides planetary placements in the D45 chart, including zodiac sign numbers, house numbers, and retrograde status, where available in the response. Developers can use this information to display Akshavedamsa chart placements in astrology applications and support traditional Vedic astrology interpretations.

To calculate Akshavedamsa chart information, provide the birth year, month, date, time, latitude, longitude, and timezone. Optional configuration settings, where supported by the endpoint, may allow you to select an Ayanamsha and an observation point. The API returns chart information in JSON format for integration into websites, mobile applications, and Vedic astrology software.
