Sidereal Modes

You can use the Sidereal mode to calculate the data. This mode is useful for astrologers who prefer to use the sidereal zodiac instead of the tropical zodiac.

There are different sidereal_modes, to read the full list check here: Sidreal Modes Literals

Here some examples

Lahiri Birth Chart

python
from kerykeion import AstrologicalSubject, KerykeionChartSVG

sidereal_subject = AstrologicalSubject("John Lennon Lahiri", 1940, 10, 9, 10, 30, "Liverpool", "GB", zodiac_type="Sidereal", sidereal_mode="LAHIRI")
sidereal_chart = KerykeionChartSVG(sidereal_subject)
sidereal_chart.makeSVG()

The output will be:

John Lennon Lahiri

Lahiri AstrologicalSubject

python
from kerykeion import AstrologicalSubject

johnny = AstrologicalSubject("Johnny Depp", 1963, 6, 9, 0, 0, "Owensboro", "US", zodiac_type="Sidereal", sidereal_mode="LAHIRI")

print(johnny.json(indent=2))

The output will be:
