I'm excited to announce the addition of Lunar Nodes (Rahu & Ketu) support in Kerykeion. This new feature allows you to work with both True and Mean Lunar Nodes in your astrological calculations and charts.
Available Lunar Nodes
The following Lunar Nodes are now available:
- True North Lunar Node: Simply referred to as "true_node" (without the term "north") for backward compatibility.
- True South Lunar Node: Referred to as "true_south_node."
- Mean North Lunar Node: Referred to as "mean_node" (without the term "north") for backward compatibility.
- Mean South Lunar Node: Referred to as "mean_south_node."
Default Activation
- In instances of the
AstrologicalSubject
class, all Lunar Nodes are active by default. - In instances of the classes used to generate aspects and SVG charts, only the mean nodes are active by default.
How to Activate True Nodes
To activate the true nodes in your aspects and SVG charts, you need to edit the configuration file (kr.config.json
). Here is an example of how to activate the True South Node:
{
"id": 19,
"name": "True_South_Node",
"color": "var(--kerykeion-chart-color-true-node)",
"is_active": true, // Set to true to activate the true node
"element_points": 0,
"related_zodiac_signs": [],
"label": "True_South_Node"
}
I hope this new feature enhances your astrological analysis and charting experience. As always, we appreciate your feedback and support.
Happy charting! ✨
