Asteroid goddesses calculator - Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta natal positions

post_astrology_asteroids
Read-only

Calculate natal positions of Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta for any birth moment, returning zodiac sign, degree, house, speed, retrograde status, and interpretation.

Instructions

Calculate the natal positions of the four classical asteroid goddesses, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, for any birth moment. Each asteroid returns its tropical zodiac sign, degree, house placement, daily speed, retrograde status, and a plain language interpretation of its meaning in the chart. Chiron is available through the natal chart endpoint, so this endpoint stays focused on the four asteroid goddesses for natal reports and relationship astrology.

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 assign each asteroid to a natal house. Placidus (default), Whole Sign, Equal, or Koch. Above the polar circle, quadrant systems fall back to Whole Sign and the echoed houseSystem reports the system actually used.placidus

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds behavioral detail about the output (zodiac sign, degree, house, speed, retrograde status, interpretation) and the scope (four asteroids only). No contradictions exist. It doesn't mention edge cases like polar circle house fallback, but that's already in the schema.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, zero fluff. The first sentence front-loads the core purpose, and the second adds a scoping distinction. Every word earns its place.

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?

The tool has 9 parameters (5 required) and an output schema, which the description leverages. It explains the returned data and differentiates from Chiron, covering the main usage context. It doesn't mention house system or node options, but those are thoroughly described in the schema. For a complex astrology tool, this is adequately complete.

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% with detailed explanations for all 9 parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies. It doesn't compensate for any schema gaps, but none exist.

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 explicitly states the tool calculates natal positions of the four classical asteroid goddesses (Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta), with a specific verb and resource. It also differentiates from sibling tools by noting Chiron is available via the natal chart endpoint, ensuring no ambiguity about scope.

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 gives clear context: 'for natal reports and relationship astrology' and explicitly mentions that Chiron is handled elsewhere. While it doesn't name a specific alternative tool, the Chiron reference effectively guides when not to use this endpoint. It could be more explicit about when to prefer other post_astrology_* tools, but the context is sufficient.

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