RoxyAPI: Astrology, Vedic, Forecast, Human Design, Numerology

Not to get started. A limited number of free readings per day are allowed right after install, with no account, so you can try the plugin. The allowance is shared across your site and resets each day. For production use, add an API key from a RoxyAPI plan: one key covers every reading and removes the daily limit. Pick a plan at https://roxyapi.com/pricing.

One key covers 18 domains. Western astrology: natal chart, daily / weekly / monthly / yearly horoscopes, synastry with a two way house overlay, compatibility, transits, aspect patterns, and moon phases. Vedic astrology: kundli, KP chart, panchang, Vimshottari dasha, divisional charts, nakshatras, doshas (Manglik, Kaal Sarpa, Sade Sati), and classical yogas. Numerology: Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge, Personality, personal year, and compatibility. Tarot: single card, three card, Celtic Cross, and the full 78 card catalog. Human Design: bodygraph, type, authority, profile, centers, channels, and gates. Forecasts: timelines, transit forecasts, solar returns, and significant dates. Chinese astrology: the BaZi Four Pillars chart, Day Master strength, ten year luck pillars, the Chinese zodiac sign with daily readings and compatibility, the 24 solar terms, and the Chinese almanac day (Tong Shu) with its day officer. Feng shui: the Kua number and Eight Mansions directions, the nine palace Flying Star chart for a building or a year, bagua sectors, and annual afflictions. Mesoamerican astrology: the Tzolkin day sign, the Mayan chart, a Long Count converter, daily and monthly readings, nawal compatibility, and the Aztec tonalpohualli. Vastu: entrance pada, the Vastu Purusha Mandala, plot analysis, Ayadi, room compliance, and griha pravesh dates. Kabbalah: gematria, name and birth profiles, the 72 names, the Tree of Life, and the Hebrew letters. Ayurveda: constitution from the birth chart, dinacharya, ritucharya, a daily reading, and the dosha, rasa, and guna catalogues. Plus biorhythm, I Ching hexagrams, crystal reference data, dream symbols, and angel numbers. Every reading is available as a shortcode. More than 180 of them also ship a matching Gutenberg block, each with sidebar controls for its inputs (a date picker for dates, a dropdown for fixed choices, text and number fields for the rest) and a live preview in the editor. The headline readings (horoscope, natal chart, tarot, numerology, biorhythm, angel number) are built the same way, and the horoscope block adds a variation picker. Interactive multi input readings such as two chart compatibility and nested birth forms stay shortcode and visitor form mode, because the block editor cannot collect their nested input. Browse the full list inside WordPress under RoxyAPI, Shortcodes.

Yes. Readings follow your WordPress site language on their own, so a Spanish site returns Spanish readings with nothing to configure. To run your site in one language and your readings in another, open the RoxyAPI menu, Branding tab, and pick a reading language: English, German, Hindi, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese, French, or Russian. Readings switch to that language, though a handful of specialized terms stay in English.

The plugin contacts roxyapi.com only when you take a clear action that requires it:

1. You click the Test Connection button on the settings page.
2. A page on your site that contains a RoxyAPI block or shortcode is rendered (cached for one hour by default to keep your API quota low). Readings render with or without an API key, so these requests also happen before you connect one.

When the plugin contacts roxyapi.com, the request includes:

• The reading parameters you supply via the block or shortcode (zodiac sign, birth date, name, location coordinates, question text).
• Your site URL, so RoxyAPI can attribute requests to your site for support.
• The plugin name and version, so RoxyAPI can spot compatibility problems with a particular release.
• Your server outbound IP address (incidentally captured by the receiving server, like any HTTP request).

Yes. Drop a hero shortcode with no attributes (for example [roxy_natal_chart]) and the plugin renders an accessible form with a city search that fills in coordinates automatically. On submit the plugin validates the input, applies a per-IP rate limit and a consent checkbox, calls the API server side, and renders the result on the same page. The API key never reaches the browser.

Not until you tell the plugin which forwarded header to believe. The only address a WordPress site can verify is the one the connection arrives from, which behind a proxy is the proxy itself, so by default every visitor shares one bucket. Forwarded headers are ignored because anyone can send them, and a limit that resets whenever a header changes is no limit at all. If your proxy overwrites a header on every request, opt that header in from your theme functions file or a small site plugin: add_filter( 'roxyapi_trusted_proxy_headers', function () { return array( 'HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP' ); } ); Register it with 10, 2 instead and the callback also receives the connecting address, so you can trust the header only while the request really is arriving from your own edge. On a custom setup, return the visitor address yourself with the roxyapi_client_ip filter instead.

Yes, and you do not need a separate integration. Place any RoxyAPI shortcode or block on a page, then gate that page with a membership or paywall plugin such as Paid Memberships Pro, Restrict Content, or WP-Members, or sell access as a WooCommerce product through a memberships add-on. Members and buyers who reach the page see the reading; everyone else sees your paywall. Because the chart renders exactly where you place the shortcode, you decide what stays free, like a teaser daily horoscope, and what is paid, like a full natal chart, a compatibility score, or a Vedic kundli. RoxyAPI keeps no birth data, so your client list and their details stay entirely yours.

Yes. The plugin makes API calls server side in PHP. The key is never sent to the browser. You can also store the key in wp-config.php with define('ROXYAPI_KEY', '...') if you do not want it in the database. Stored keys are encrypted at rest via AES-256-CTR.

Yes. The plugin uses WordPress transients, which automatically use Redis or Memcached if you have a persistent object cache.

Yes. Readings pick up your theme font, and the RoxyAPI menu under Branding gives you four ready-made palettes plus seven colors you can set yourself: accent, page background, card background, text, secondary text, borders and warnings. Each takes a light value and a dark value, so a dark brand color stays readable for a visitor in dark mode. Charts follow your light or dark mode automatically and read the --roxy- CSS custom properties, so you can also override any token in your theme stylesheet. Every output element has a .roxyapi- class you can target.

Yes, at two levels. The RoxyAPI menu under Display has Written readings, which removes the interpretation from every reading and leaves the charts, tables and values in place. Below it, Hide sections takes a comma-separated list of section names and removes those blocks outright, so entering patterns removes the chart patterns block wherever it appears on your site. Click the Hide sections field to see every name your version supports, and separate several with commas. The names are internal and stay the same whatever language your site runs in, so the title printed above a block is not one of them. If you enter a name that matches nothing, saving tells you which one, rather than leaving you with a setting that appears to have saved and quietly does nothing. Those two are separate on purpose. A chart pattern such as a T-square reports the figure, its element and modality, how tight it is and which planets form it. Those are measurements rather than prose, so turning off written readings leaves them in place. Both can be overridden on a single placement, so one page does not have to follow the whole site. Add hide_sections="patterns" to a shortcode and only that reading loses the block, or hide_sections="none" to keep a block on one page that the site setting hides everywhere else. hide_readings="1" and hide_readings="0" work the same way. A block placed in the editor follows the site setting. You can also target any section yourself from Appearance, Customize, Additional CSS, or from your child theme stylesheet. Every block of a reading is exposed as a CSS part: roxy-natal-chart::part(patterns) { display: none } roxy-ephemeris-table::part(changes) { display: none } Common section names are readings, patterns, aspects, changes, chart, legend, table and details. A name means the same block everywhere it appears, so one rule covers every reading that has that block: ::part(aspects) reaches the aspect grid on a natal chart and the aspect list on an aspects table alike. Open your browser inspector and read the part attribute off any block to find the name for it. The same selector restyles a section instead of hiding it, so you can give one block its own background or spacing without touching the rest.

RoxyAPI cross-checks its astronomy calculations against the NASA JPL Horizons ephemeris (a public NASA dataset; no affiliation with NASA or JPL). See https://roxyapi.com/methodology for the full breakdown.

Add the Astrology Section wrapper block, set the sign in its Inspector, then drop Horoscope blocks inside. Each one picks the sign up from the wrapper, so you set it once. Other readings take their inputs from their own sidebar controls.

Yes. The plugin works the moment you activate it. Add a shortcode or block and it renders on a free daily allowance, no API key required. When you need more headroom, add a key from your RoxyAPI account; see https://roxyapi.com/pricing for current plans. You can also call every endpoint live in your browser at https://roxyapi.com/api-reference, no signup needed.

Yes. All RoxyAPI shortcodes work inside any page builder that supports WordPress shortcodes. Use the shortcode in a text or HTML module. The Gutenberg blocks work in the default WordPress editor.
