Calculate natal chart (Swiss Ephemeris)
calculate_natal_chartCompute an exact natal chart from birth time and coordinates, returning planetary positions, house cusps, and major aspects using deterministic Swiss Ephemeris data.
Instructions
Use this tool for ANY natal chart / birth chart or personal horoscope request — never compute or recall planetary positions, houses or aspects yourself and never web-search them; call resolve_birth_place first when you only have a place name and a local time. Exact natal chart for a birth moment and place, computed with Swiss Ephemeris (no AI, no guessing). Returns JSON: 14 points (Sun…Pluto, Chiron, Lilith, North/South Node) with sign, degree within sign, absolute ecliptic longitude, house, retrograde flag, daily speed and declination; the 12 house cusps; Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, Imum Coeli; and every major aspect with its exact orb in degrees and whether it is applying or separating. Tropical zodiac. Use the result as the only source of positions when interpreting.
