/api/astro/mundane/ingresses/1 creditSign ingresses
Every sign change, for every body, across a window of dates. Mundane astrology asks about the sky itself rather than about a person, so there is no birth data here — just a window and what happens in it. Each event names the sign left and the sign entered, and flags whether the body was retrograde: a retrograde ingress is a planet re-entering the sign it just left, which products normally label differently from an ordinary one. Found by scanning rather than by formula, which matters for correctness — a retrograde planet can cross the same boundary three times in a few weeks, and a closed-form solution returns one answer where there are really three.

Content-Type: application/jsonRequest fields
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| date_time | string (date-time) | required | The moment to calculate for, ISO 8601. ALWAYS include an offset or a trailing Z - a value with no zone is read as Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30), not UTC, and can return the previous day's result with a 200. '2026-09-01T06:00:00Z' and '2026-09-01 06:00:00' are different instants and give different answers. |
| end_date_time | string (date-time) | required | End of the window. |
| bodies | array | optional | Defaults to all eleven. Narrow it to keep responses small. |
| keys | array | optional | Which calculations to return, as a list of names. See the key table for this endpoint; an unrecognised name rejects the whole request. One call costs one credit however many keys you ask for, so request everything you need at once rather than making several calls. |
| latitude | number (double) | optional | Latitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is north, negative is south. Example: 26.9124 for Jaipur, 40.7128 for New York. Minutes and seconds are not accepted - convert first. |
| longitude | number (double) | optional | Longitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is east, negative is west. Example: 75.7873 for Jaipur, -74.0060 for New York. Note the sign: a missing minus puts New York in China. |
| timezone_as_float | number (double) | optional | UTC offset of the place, in hours, as a decimal. Example: 5.5 for India (UTC+05:30), -5 for New York in winter, 5.75 for Nepal. This is NOT validated against date_time - if the two disagree you get a successful response for the wrong moment, so derive both from the same source. Use the offset in force on that date, not today's: a summer birth in a country with daylight saving needs the summer offset. min -12 · max 14 |
