Overview

The Shashtyamsa (D60) Chart Info API calculates planetary placements in the Shashtyamsa divisional chart using a person's birth date, time, and geographical location. In traditional Vedic astrology, the D60 chart is used for deeper interpretations of karmic influences and subtle patterns in a person's life. Accurate birth time is particularly important when working with this divisional chart.

The API returns the Ascendant and planetary placements in the D60 chart, including each body's zodiac sign number, house number, and retrograde status. The response includes the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Developers can use this information to display Shashtyamsa chart placements and support traditional Vedic astrology analysis.

To calculate Shashtyamsa chart information, provide the birth year, month, date, time, latitude, longitude, and timezone. Optional configuration settings allow you to select an Ayanamsha, such as Lahiri, Sayana, or Tropical, choose a geocentric or topocentric observation point, and specify a supported response language. The API returns chart information in JSON format for integration into websites, mobile applications, and Vedic astrology software.
