Everything developers need to integrate predictive timing analysis
Directions API provides professional-grade predictive timing calculations using Swiss Ephemeris precision.

With response times under 300ms and 99.9% uptime, our directions calculations help astrology platforms increase user engagement by an average of 34% through accurate predictive insights.
What are Primary Directions in Astrology?
Primary directions are one of the oldest predictive techniques in astrology, used to forecast major life events and timing.
The method moves celestial bodies according to specific arc calculations to determine when significant events might occur.
Our API supports multiple arc methods including True Solar Arc, Mean Solar Arc, and Naibod Arc, providing astrologers with comprehensive timing analysis.
Unlike simple transit calculations, primary directions reveal deep structural changes and major life themes.
How does Directions API improve user engagement?
Astrology platforms using our Directions API report 34% higher user engagement compared to basic horoscope services.
The predictive timing features create anticipation and regular user check-ins, especially when combined with personalized notifications about important timing periods.
Users spend more time exploring their predictions and return more frequently to check timing updates.
The precision of Swiss Ephemeris calculations builds trust and credibility.
What direction calculation methods are supported?
Our API supports 15+ direction calculation methods including Primary Directions (True Solar Arc, Mean Solar Arc, Naibod Arc), Secondary Progressions (day-for-a-year), Solar Arc Directions, and Annual Profections.
Each method provides different timing insights, from major life changes to monthly themes.
The API automatically calculates aspects between directed planets and natal positions, providing exact timing for when aspects become active within specified orbs.
How fast are direction calculations processed?
Direction calculations complete in under 300ms average response time, even for complex multi-year progressions.
Our optimized Swiss Ephemeris integration processes multiple direction methods simultaneously while maintaining astronomical accuracy.
This speed enables real-time user interactions and responsive mobile app experiences.
Background processing handles bulk calculations for annual reports and long-term predictions.
