Synastry Chart Data Endpoint #

POST /api/v5/chart-data/synastry #

View Complete Example

This endpoint calculates the synastry (relationship) data between two subjects. It returns the positions for both subjects and the inter-aspects between them, without generating an SVG chart.

Request Body #

  • first_subject (object, required): The “inner wheel” subject. See Subject Object Reference.
    {
        "name": "Person A",
        "year": 1990,

        "latitude": 51.5074,
        "timezone": "Europe/London"
    }
    
  • second_subject (object, required): The “outer wheel” subject. Same structure as first_subject.
    {
        "name": "Person B",
        "year": 1992,
        "month": 5,

    }
    

Synastry-specific options (optional):

  • include_house_comparison (boolean): Include house overlay analysis. Default: true.
  • include_relationship_score (boolean): Include Ciro Discepolo compatibility score. Default: true.

Computation options (optional, at request body root level):

  • active_points (array of strings): Override which celestial points are included. See Active Points.
  • active_aspects (array of objects): Override which aspects are calculated and their orbs. See Active Aspects.

    • second_subject: Full chart data for Person B.
    • aspects: List of inter-aspects (Person A planets vs Person B planets). Aspect names are lowercase (e.g. "trine", "conjunction").
    • relationship_score (if requested): Compatibility analysis containing score_value, score_description, is_destiny_sign, aspects, and score_breakdown.
