kerykeion 2.3.1

A python library for astrology.

Kerykeion

 

Kerykeion is a python library for Astrology. It can calculate all the planet and house position, also it can calculate the aspects of a single persone or between two, you can set how many planets you need in the settings in the utility module. It also can generate an SVG of a birthchart, a composite chart or a transit chart.

Here some examples:

# Import the main class for creating a kerykeion instance:
>>> from kerykeion import KrInstance

# Create a kerykeion instance:
# Args: Name, year, month, day, hour, minuts, city, nation(optional)
>>> kanye = KrInstance("Kanye", 1977, 6, 8, 8, 45, "Atlanta")

# Get the information about the sun in the chart:
# (The position of the planets always starts at 0)
>>> kanye.sun
{'name': 'Sun', 'quality': 'Mutable', 'element': 'Air', 'sign': 'Gem', 'sign_num': 2, 'pos': 17.598992059774275, 'abs_pos': 77.59899205977428, 'emoji': '♊️', 'house': '12th House', 'retrograde': False}

# Get informations about the first house:
>>> kanye.first_house
{'name': '1', 'quality': 'Cardinal', 'element': 'Water', 'sign': 'Can', 'sign_num': 3, 'pos': 17.995779673209114, 'abs_pos': 107.99577967320911, 'emoji': '♋️'}

# Get element of the moon sign:
>>> kanye.moon.get("element")
'Water'

Generate a SVG of the birthchart:

>>> import kerykeion as kr
>>> from kerykeion.utilities.charts import MakeSvgInstance

>>> first = kr.KrInstance("Jack", 1990, 6, 15, 15, 15, "Roma")
>>> second = kr.KrInstance("Jane", 1991, 10, 25, 21, 00, "Roma")

# Set the type, it can be Natal, Composite or Transit

>>> name = MakeSvgInstance(first, chart_type="Composite", second_obj=second)
>>> name.makeSVG()
>>> print(len(name.aspects_list))
>>> Generating kerykeion object for Jack...
Generating kerykeion object for Jane...
Jack birth location: Roma, 41.89193, 12.51133

Example of a possible text output with information:

>>> from kerykeion import output, KrInstance

>>> kanye = KrInstance("Kanye", 1977, 6, 8, 8, 45, "Atlanta")

>>> print(output(kanye))

Documentation

Most of the functions and the classes are self documented by the types and have docstrings. An auto-generated documentation is available in the docs folder. Sooner or later I'll try to write an extensive documentation.

Contributing

Feel free to contribute to the code!

Versione 2.3.0 updates:

Created a new fetch_geonames module to replace the older geoname.py (which was part of OpenAstro). The new module introduces the requests and the requests-cache library for fetching the data from geonames.org . It's more maintainable and more efficient than before.

Created also a tests directory with a pipenv for testing, the tests and the examples folder should be maybe merged, or an global pipenv should be created for development.

A refactoring and a restructuring of the folder structure should be done in the future.
