Request

All requests require an Authorization header with your dv_live_* API key.

example request

curl "https://api.lifeastroapi.com/v1/western/interpretation/aspect?planet_a=Sun&planet_b=Mars&kind=square" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Query parameters

Checked against the API: a parameter is marked required when the request fails without it.

Name	Required	Example	Description
`planet_a`	yes	`Sun`	First body name. Aspect interpretation is direction-agnostic — (Sun, Mars) and (Mars, Sun) hit the same entry.
`planet_b`	yes	`Mars`	Second body name.
`kind`	yes	`square`	Aspect kind (Phase 1 catalog: major Ptolemaic only).
`context`	no	—	Interpretive context. Phase 3a stub corpus typically authors only natal + transit; synastry / composite arrive with Phase 3b sourcing.
