Advanced Retrograde Analysis

get_retrograde_advanced

Advanced retrograde analysis: 3-state CSL interpretation (delayed/denied/sudden fulfillment based on star lord retrogression), retrograde dasha lord transit activation dates (Jupiter/Saturn crossing natal retro degree), and slow-planet station window mapping (suppression windows when retrograde over significator). Scan range up to 2 years.

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.
