Zodiac Sign Shadow

The Zodiac Sign Shadow endpoint provides static sign-level shadow-pattern and healing-focus meanings derived from zodiac sign.

This /horoscope/sign/* endpoint returns descriptive zodiac sign meanings (sign archetype data), not live astrological reports. For live astrological readings, use /api/v1/horoscope/reports/* report endpoints powered by our SOTA horoscope engine. The lightweight open-source engine is OpAstro.
