/api/astro/planet_transit_natal_planets/1 creditTransit over natal planet
Prewritten readings for one planet passing over another planet's birth position — transiting Saturn over the natal Moon, transiting Jupiter over the natal Sun, and so on. This is the pairwise transit table most transit reports are built from. It is a pure lookup with no chart calculation behind it: supply the transiting planet as `planet` and the birth-chart planet as `natal_planet` and you get the text back. Work out which contacts are actually live from a transit calculation such as `/api/astro/transit/` first, then call this for the wording. Both arguments accept the nine bodies, although the transiting side omits Venus. Order matters: Saturn over the natal Sun is a different entry from the Sun over natal Saturn.

Content-Type: application/jsonRequest fields
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| keys | array | required | 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. |
| natal_planet | string | required | sunmoonmarsmercuryjupitervenussaturnrahuketuExact lower-case match. All 9 are present under every transiting planet (verified by AST-parsing the mapping). An unknown value returns "Invalid key: <x>" with HTTP 200. |
| planet | string | required | sunmoonmarsmercuryjupitersaturnrahuketuNOTE: 'venus' is MISSING as a transiting planet - the mapping has only these 8 top-level keys. An unknown value returns "Invalid key: <x>" with HTTP 200. |

Ask for exactly the calculations you want by listing them in keys. An unknown key rejects the whole request, and you are charged 1 credit however many you ask for — so batch them.
| Key | Extra fields needed | Description |
|---|---|---|
| get_planet_transit_natal_planets | planet, natal_planet | The reading for `planet` transiting over the birth position of `natal_planet`. Returns a list of short phrases, usually two to four, each a separate statement about the contact. The pair is directional, so the transiting planet and the natal planet are not interchangeable. |
