Eclipse Impact on Natal Chart

get_eclipse_impact

Locates upcoming solar and lunar eclipses (next N months, default 24) by detecting syzygies near the lunar nodes (within 18° solar limit, 12° lunar limit) and measures arc-distance from each eclipse degree to natal sensitive points (Lagna, MC, all 9 luminaries / planets). Each natal hit gets a severity band: CRITICAL ≤1°, PROXIMAL ≤5°. Books: KP Reader 5, classical eclipse interpretation. Use to flag windows of intensified life themes; never frame as deterministic prediction.

Engine endpoint

This tool delegates to the kp-engine endpoint:

http

POST /v1/kp/eclipse-impact

The engine is a private internal service. All public access flows through the MCP server, which handles auth, rate limiting, and response compaction.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data. If you have already called set_birth_profile in the same conversation, the MCP server injects those fields automatically and you can omit them from the call.
