Arabic lots calculator - seven Hermetic parts including Part of Fortune and Spirit

post_astrology_arabic_lots
Read-only

Calculate the seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) for any birth moment, with day or night formulas applied automatically from the chart sect.

Instructions

Calculate the seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) for any birth moment. The lots are the Part of Fortune, Part of Spirit, Eros, Necessity, Courage, Victory, and Nemesis. Each lot is a sensitive point projected by arc from the Ascendant, with the day or night formula applied automatically from the chart sect. Returns the zodiac sign, degree, exact longitude, the arc used, and a plain language interpretation per lot, for Hellenistic and traditional astrology apps. Built on accurate tropical chart positions, no astronomy expertise needed.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dateYesBirth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Determines planetary positions for the specific calendar day.
langNoResponse 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
timeYesBirth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Determines the Ascendant (rising sign) and house cusps. Use 12:00:00 if unknown.
compactNoSet 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.
latitudeYesBirth location latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90). Positive = North, negative = South.
nodeTypeNoLunar 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
timezoneYesTimezone: an IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London", or `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search) or decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 5.5 for IST). An IANA name is resolved to the offset in force at the given date and time.
longitudeYesBirth location longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180). Positive = East, negative = West.
houseSystemNoHouse system used to place the Sun, which determines the chart sect (day when the Sun is above the horizon, night when below) and therefore which lot formula applies. Placidus (default), Whole Sign, Equal, or Koch.placidus

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false); the description adds genuine behavioral context beyond that: the day/night formula is applied automatically from chart sect, positions are tropical, and the tool returns an interpretation per lot. Nothing contradicts the annotations, so the score reflects real added value.

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?

Four sentences, roughly 90 words, with the main verb front-loaded in the first sentence. Each sentence carries distinct information: scope, lot list, method and output, target use case. Minor redundancy exists between sentences 1 and 2, but overall it is efficient and well ordered.

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 a full output schema and 100% parameter schema coverage, the description need not explain return values or parameters. It covers purpose, method, output items, and target audience, which is sufficient for an agent to invoke this calculator correctly. There is no critical invocation detail missing.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so per the rubric the baseline is 3. The description touches lightly on parameters ('birth moment' maps to date/time; 'chart sect' relates to houseSystem) but does not need to compensate since the schema already gives rich per-parameter explanations, including an extensive nodeType and houseSystem write-up.

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 specific verb and resource ('Calculate the seven Hermetic lots (Arabic parts) for any birth moment') and enumerates all seven lots by name. It also describes the computational method (arc from the Ascendant, day/night formula from sect), which clearly differentiates it from the many sibling astrology tools such as post_astrology_natal_chart or post_astrology_houses.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage context is implied: 'for any birth moment' and 'for Hellenistic and traditional astrology apps' suggest when an agent would select this tool. However, it names no alternative tool and gives no explicit when-not-to-use or exclusion conditions, leaving the agent to infer the boundary against siblings.

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