/v1/milan/navamsa-compat

D9 navamsa compatibility.

What this tells you

The Navamsa (D9) chart is read as the chart of marriage. This endpoint takes the navamsa sign of each partner's Moon, finds the lord of each sign, and checks the natural friendship of the boy's lord toward the girl's lord. Enemy means not compatible; friend or neutral means compatible. It does not compare the D9 ascendants or other D9 placements.
