Secondary progressions calculator - progressed chart, progressed Sun and Moon

post_astrology_progressions

Read-only

Generate the secondary progressed chart for any date using the day-for-a-year key, where each day of ephemeris motion after birth stands in for one year of life. Returns every progressed body with its sign, degree, whole-sign house, motion, and retrograde state, plus the progressed Ascendant and Midheaven via the Naibod arc. The progressed Sun and progressed Moon are the headline timing markers for inner growth and emotional chapters. Secondary progressions API, progressed chart calculator, progressed Sun and Moon, progressed Ascendant and Midheaven.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`date`	Yes	Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Determines planetary positions for the specific calendar day.
`lang`	No	Response language (BCP 47). Supported: en, tr, de, es, hi, pt, fr, ru, zh-Hans, zh-Hant. Defaults to en. Coverage varies by domain, and a field with no translation in the requested language returns English.	en
`time`	Yes	Birth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Determines the Ascendant (rising sign) and house cusps. Use 12:00:00 if unknown.
`compact`	No	Set true for the same data in a compact shape: arrays of same-shaped objects arrive columnar as {"__cols":[names],"__rows":[[values]]}. Lossless, typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens.
`latitude`	Yes	Birth location latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90). Positive = North, negative = South.
`nodeType`	No	Lunar node convention. "mean" is the smoothed average node, which always moves retrograde; "true" is the osculating node, which tracks the real perturbed node, oscillates up to about 1.5 degrees either side of the mean on a 173-day cycle, and can briefly turn direct. Neither is more correct and they almost always fall in the same sign. Applies to the North and South Node. True is the osculating node and the default, because it is what most Western chart software reports; mean is the smoothed node preferred by several evolutionary schools, so pass "mean" to match one. Nothing else in the chart changes, and the two agree on the sign except when the node sits within about 1.8 degrees of a cusp. Defaults to "true".	true
`timezone`	Yes	Timezone: IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London") OR decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 1 for CET). IANA strings are resolved to the DST-correct offset for the given date, so you can pass `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search directly.
`longitude`	Yes	Birth location longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180). Positive = East, negative = West.
`targetDate`	Yes	Date to progress the chart to, in YYYY-MM-DD format. Usually today or a forecast date. The day-for-a-year key turns the elapsed years since birth into the same number of ephemeris days after the birth moment.

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the read-only/destructive annotations, the description discloses the returned fields (sign, degree, whole-sign house, motion, retrograde state) and the Naibod arc method for progressed angles. It complements the annotations without contradicting them, and it gives an agent a concrete behavioral model. It does not cover edge conditions, but the annotations still supply the safety profile.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The essential info is front loaded: the 44 definition, the output shape, and the timing-marker purpose. The closing SEO-keyword sentence adds little for the agent because it restates already given facts, but the list is short and remains manageable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description provides adequate context by enumerating what is returned and the calculations typical. The tool has 9 parameters and 6 required, but the schema fully covers those, and the description covers the behavioral return side. It is not perfect, but is complete enough for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameter formats and defaults. The description reinforces the targetDate calendar and the day-for-a-year mechanism, but that is largely described again in the schema's targetDate property. Therefore, a baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a precise verb and resource — 'Generate the secondary progressed chart' — and explains the distinguishing day-for-a-year method. It is clearly differentiated from the sibling solar arc, transit, and return tools, so an agent knows exactly what this endpoint computes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description makes the intended use context explicit: compute a secondary progressed chart for any date using the day-per-year key. It doesn't explicitly say when not to use it or prefer post_astrology_solar_arc / transits, so it earns a 4 rather than 5.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.8/5.0

Disambiguation3/5

Most tools are scoped to a clearly distinct domain—moon phases, houses, returns, fixed stars, astrocartography—but several pairs overlap, notably synastry vs. compatibility_score and transits vs. transit_aspects. The descriptions are long and do help an agent choose, but the boundaries are not always obvious at the name level.

Naming Consistency4/5

Every tool follows the same snake_case get_astrology_/post_astrology_ prefix pattern, making the group predictable and readable. However, collection endpoints like get_astrology_planet_meanings_id and get_astrology_signs_id awkwardly combine plural collection and singular id naming, and names like calendar_year_month depart from the cleaner resource+suffix pattern.

Tool Count2/5

With 38 tools, this is well over the 25+ threshold and feels heavy for an agent to traverse. While Western astrology is a broad domain, several near-duplicate endpoints, especially synastry/compatibility and transits/transit_aspects, could be consolidated into fewer, more scoped tools.

Completeness5/5

The toolset is comprehensive, covering natal charts, relationships, transits, returns, progressions, aspects, houses, relocation, and reference data. It includes enough specialized endpoints for both casual horoscope use and in-depth astrological analysis, with no obvious dead ends for the stated domain.
