Legacy API (Backward Compatibility) #
Kerykeion v5 introduces a new factory-based architecture. However, to support existing codebases, the library includes a backward compatibility layer defined in kerykeion.backword.
Warning
These classes are deprecated and may be removed in future versions (v6+). New projects should use the proper Factories (e.g.,
AstrologicalSubjectFactory).AstrologicalSubject (Legacy Wrapper) #
A wrapper class that emulates the behavior of the old AstrologicalSubject class.
# Legacy usage (still works but issues warning)
from kerykeion import AstrologicalSubject
subject = AstrologicalSubject(
"Alice", 1990, 5, 15, 10, 30,
city="London", nation="GB"
)
print(subject.sun["sign"])
Constructor #
The constructor signature attempts to match v4, forwarding arguments to AstrologicalSubjectFactory.from_birth_data.
name(str)year,month,day,hour,minute(int)lng,lat(float, optional)tz_str(str, optional)city,nation(str, optional)online(bool)
KerykeionChartSVG (Legacy Wrapper) #
Wrapper for the chart generation logic, delegating to ChartDrawer.
from kerykeion import KerykeionChartSVG
chart = KerykeionChartSVG(subject)
chart.makeSVG()
print(chart.template)
NatalAspects & SynastryAspects #
Wrappers for AspectsFactory.
from kerykeion import NatalAspects
aspects = NatalAspects(subject)
for aspect in aspects.relevant_aspects:
print(aspect)
