> personality-western is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Computes a Western tropical natal astrology chart from a birth date and optional birth time/place, returning planetary sign placements, degrees, retrograde flags, Whole-Sign houses, Ascendant, Midheaven, and major Ptolemaic aspects.

## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Western natal astrology chart for someone born on March 14, 1988 at 7:32 AM in Chicago, USA (America/Chicago timezone)? I want to see their planetary sign placements, retrograde flags, Ascendant, Midheaven, Whole-Sign houses, and major aspects.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, ephemeris-based Western tropical natal astrology chart with no AI hallucination risk and no API key management. It is ideal when you need Whole-Sign houses, Ptolemaic aspects, retrograde flags, Ascendant, and Midheaven from a structured computation rather than an LLM-generated interpretation. Prefer it over generic astrology APIs when you need raw, reliable astrological data as input for further interpretation or agent reasoning.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'date' parameter returns a validation error
- Unrecognizable place name that cannot be geocoded returns a geocoding error
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) triggers a parsing error
- Invalid IANA timezone name returns a timezone lookup error
- Conflicting lat/lon and place parameters may cause unexpected behavior
- Extreme historical or future dates outside ephemeris range may return errors

## How this service works

Western natal astrology only: tropical planet placements by sign and degree with retrograde flags, Whole-Sign houses, the Ascendant and Midheaven angles and the major Ptolemaic aspects. Give a birth date, and for the angles a time, place and tz or utc_offset. Deterministic ephemeris, no LLM, no keys.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: tropical planet positions (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) each with sign, degree, and retrograde flag; Whole-Sign house assignments; Ascendant and Midheaven angles with sign and degree (if birth time provided); and a list of major Ptolemaic aspects (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) between planets with orbs. If no birth time is given, houses, Ascendant, and exact Moon degree are flagged as unavailable.
