# MysticAPI Live Sky Snapshot

> MysticAPI Live Sky Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from mysticapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a real-time geocentric snapshot of the sky including ecliptic longitudes, zodiac positions, and Human Design gate placements for 13 celestial bodies, current moon phase, active retrogrades, and a 30-day astronomical almanac.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://mysticapi.com/v1/sky/today
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability mysticapi-live-sky-snapshot-9c4e6b64
```

Example prompt: What does the sky look like right now astrologically — give me all current planetary positions with their zodiac signs and degrees, which planets are retrograde, the moon phase, and any major celestial events coming up in the next 30 days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a zero-input, always-current snapshot of the entire sky for astrological or Human Design purposes — it requires no date or location parameters and returns a comprehensive, JPL-validated ephemeris covering 13 bodies, retrograde status, moon phase, and a 30-day forward almanac all in one call. Prefer it over generic astronomy APIs when you need zodiac sign context, Human Design gate placements, or retrograde/station data alongside raw positions.

## Known failure modes

- Ephemeris computation failure returns a 500 error
- Payment not received or expired x402 token returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or abuse returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Network timeout if JPL ephemeris backend is unavailable

## How this service works

Live universal sky snapshot, no inputs: geocentric ecliptic longitudes for 13 bodies (Sun through Pluto, Chiron, lunar nodes) with zodiac sign/degree and 64-gate wheel placements, current moon phase and illumination, active retrogrades, and a 30-day almanac of upcoming stations and lunations. JPL-validated ephemeris. JSON. $0.01 USDC via x402, or API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing: today's UTC date and generation timestamp; positions of 13 bodies (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, North Node, South Node) each with geocentric ecliptic longitude, zodiac sign, degree, and 64-gate Human Design wheel placement; moon phase name, illumination fraction (0–1), elongation in degrees, and next new/full moon events; a map of currently active retrogrades and upcoming stations; and a chronological 30-day almanac of stations and lunations.
