  • aspect pair counts
  • composite chart aspects
  • aspects cross reference table
  • generate report in markdown or html
  • thoroughly tested with pytest

Sample Charts

  • default dark theme

  • default light theme

  • mono theme

Quick Start

  • installation

pip install natal

  • generate a chart
from natal import Data, Chart

# create chart data object
mimi = Data(
    name="MiMi",
    utc_dt="1980-04-20 06:30",
    lat=25.0531,
    lon=121.526,
)

# return natal chart in SVG string
Chart(mimi, width=600).svg

# create transit data object
transit = Data(
    name="Transit",
    utc_dt="2024-01-01 05:30",
    lat=25.0531,
    lon=121.526,
)

# create a transit chart
transit_chart = Chart(
    data1=mimi, 
    data2=transit, 
    width=600
)

# view the composite chart in jupyter notebook
from IPython.display import HTML

HTML(transit_chart.svg)

following SVG chart will be produced:

Configuration

  • create a Config object and assign it to Data object
  • it will override the default settings in config.py
  • a sample config as follow:
from natal.config import Display, Config, Orb

# adjust which celestial bodies to display
display = Display(
    mc = False,
    asc_node = False,
    chiron = True
)

# adjust orbs for each aspect
orb = Orb(
    conjunction = 8,
    opposition = 8,
    trine = 6,
    square = 6,
    sextile = 6
)

# the complete config object
config = Config(
    theme_type = "light", # or "dark", "mono"
    display = display,
    orb = orb
)

# create data object with the config
data = Data(
    name = "MiMi",
    utc_dt = "1980-04-20 06:30",
    lat = 25.0531,
    lon = 121.526,
    config = config,
