Eclipse-on-Sub-Lord Activation

get_eclipse_sublord_activation

Cross-references upcoming solar and lunar eclipses with natal cusp sub-lord boundaries. Eclipses landing within 30 arc-minutes of a cusp = CRITICAL activation of that house's significations; within 30 arcmin of a sub-lord boundary = STRONG. Activation window = eclipse date + 6 months. Use to identify specific cusps the next ~18 months will activate.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
