What a sign aspects

What one sign aspects, and which planets are its baadhaka. Rashi drishti — sign-to-sign aspect — is a Jaimini idea rather than a Parashari one: signs aspect signs regardless of what stands in them. The baadhaka, the obstructing lord, is returned alongside because it is read from the same sign. Signs are numbered 1 for Aries through 12 for Pisces. The engine underneath numbers them from zero, so this endpoint converts — verified against the baadhaka rule for all twelve signs (movable afflicted from the 11th, fixed from the 9th, dual from the 7th).

Request fields

FieldTypeRequiredNotes
date_timestring (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.

latitudenumber (double)required

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.

min -90 · max 90

longitudenumber (double)required

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.

min -180 · max 180

timezone_as_floatnumber (double)required

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

keysarrayoptional

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.

nodestringoptional

raasiintegeroptional

Sign number, 1 = Aries through 12 = Pisces.
