FreeAstroAPIV2 Panchang now accepts "lang": "hi" for Hindi labels, with English as the default. This update also adds explicit Adhika and Kshaya month information, selectable Vikram Samvat year conventions, and clear errors for dates without sunrise or sunset.
A new V2 Krishnamurti Paddhati endpoint returns 12 sidereal Placidus cusps, sign/star/sub/sub-sub lords, planet and house significators, cuspal sub-lord tables, ruling planets, and KP-compatible Vimshottari dasha context, with matching SVG and PNG reports.
Western SVG and PNG charts can now render an opt-in 36-face decan ring in standard and French layouts. Choose traditional Chaldean rulers or modern triplicity rulers with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, then independently style ruler glyphs, circular borders, radial separators, band thickness, and backgrounds.
Western SVG and PNG charts now preserve opt-in R or ℞ retrograde markers when degree_label_format is set to minutes. The marker stays on the whole-degree row while the zodiac glyph and arcminutes retain their dedicated rows in both standard and French layouts.
SVG chart requests and the Chart Designer can now hide every aspect involving ASC, DSC, MC, or IC while preserving planet-to-planet aspects, angle axes, labels, and calculated chart data.
Solar Return calculations now offer an opt-in uncertainty range for unknown birth times. The API evaluates the full local birth date, reports a possible return window and planetary position ranges, and suppresses time-dependent houses, angles, angularity, and natal house overlays while preserving the existing default response.
The Moon Phase and Moon Phase Timeline APIs now detect solar as well as lunar eclipses. Solar responses include global type and contact data, plus observer-specific visibility, local eclipse type, contact times, magnitude, and obscuration when a location is provided.
Western natal, Vedic, Moon, and synastry requests now support astronomical years 0–2399, including dates before 1800. Year 0 represents 1 BCE, and dates outside the shipped ephemeris range now return a clear HTTP 400 response.
Western SVG and PNG natal chart requests now keep rendering when Chiron is unavailable for the requested date. Chiron is omitted, the remaining chart is returned, and clients receive X-FreeAstro-Warnings: chiron_unavailable_for_date instead of a 5xx response.
The Western SVG renderer can now highlight any set of primary houses with individual colors and adjustable opacity. An opt-in planet-zone extension continues each color through the corresponding primary planet lane and keeps planet backings visually seamless.
The Western SVG renderer and Chart Designer now include glyph-aware collision spacing that keeps isolated connectors straighter, movable angle labels, searchable settings, body- or sign-based planet colors, manual sign palettes, optional dashed synastry guides, Chiron PI/PV points, corrected inner-wheel angle axes, and halo-backed house numbers.
The V1 and V2 Daily Sign Horoscope endpoints now accept lang=en, fr, or it, including regional forms such as fr-FR and it-IT. Interpretation text and display labels are localized while response keys remain stable; locale remains available as a deprecated alias.
The Chart Designer now has a task-focused inspector, clearer render-failure recovery, dependency-aware controls, and more accessible drag handles while keeping advanced chart configuration available.
Vedic AI Chat is now available for applications that need grounded conversational answers from a birth profile, recent conversation context, and Vedic chart tools. Hosted messages are metered separately from standard API requests.
A new V1 endpoint returns deterministic Pythagorean, Chaldean/Cheiro, Kabbalah/Gematria, and Ank Jyotish profiles with versioned method policies, auditable calculation traces, optional interpretations where available, and timezone-aware Pythagorean personal cycles.
A new V2 Western endpoint compares a natal chart against about 15,000 famous-person chart signatures, returning ranked matches with scores, shared placements, shared aspects, angle confidence, and human-readable why-this-match explanations.
V2 Vedic charting now supports D4, D5, D16, D20, D24, D27, D40, and D45 divisional charts plus opt-in Bhava Chalit houses for chart, vargas, calculate, and North Indian visual chart workflows.
A Free-plan V2 endpoint now returns a deterministic daily Vedic forecast with one-day gochar insights, active Vimshottari dasha, Panchang, practical timing windows, explainable scores, and evidence.
A reusable Next.js astrology chatbot starter is now available with Western and Vedic bot contacts, MCP-backed chart tools, server-side API keys, and a live demo page for fast customization.

New V2 weekly personal horoscope endpoint with exact hits, active transit windows, dominant topics, daily slices, and interpretation coverage for app and email experiences.
New line, paran, relocation, recommendation, and city-check docs for teams building location-aware astrology products.
A browser-based Western report workspace for configuring sections, evidence topics, tone, presets, output format, and report jobs.
A dedicated report-credit checkout flow and updated psychological report docs for long-form astrology report generation.
Published hosted MCP setup docs, llms.txt guidance, and endpoint maps so AI assistants can choose the right astrology API faster.
