**Birth Year:** {birth_year}
**Target Year:** {target_year}
**Age:** {age}
### Profected House: {profected_house}th House
**Significations:** {house_meanings[profected_house]}
### Lord of the Year:
The ruler of your natal {profected_house}th house becomes your "Lord of the Year" for age {age}.
**How to use this:**
1. Identify which sign is on the cusp of your natal {profected_house}th house
2. The ruler of that sign is activated for this entire year
3. Pay attention to:
- Transits to the Lord of the Year
- The condition of the Lord in your natal chart
- Any planets in your natal {profected_house}th house (also activated)
**Technique from:** Vettius Valens (*Anthology*, Book 4) and Paulus Alexandrinus
### How Profections Work:
Each year of life corresponds to one house, counted from the Ascendant:
- Age 0-11 months: 1st house
- Age 1: 2nd house
- Age 12: Returns to 1st house (first profection return)

According to Vettius Valens (Anthology, Book III), sect distinguishes between day and night charts:
**Day Chart (Diurnal)**: Sun above horizon at birth
- Benefics: Jupiter, Saturn (traditionally)
- Malefics: Mars more difficult than Saturn
- Solar sect planets: Sun, Jupiter, Saturn
**Night Chart (Nocturnal)**: Sun below horizon at birth
- Benefics: Venus, Moon
- Malefics: Saturn more difficult than Mars
- Lunar sect planets: Moon, Venus, Mars
**Practical Application**:
Ptolemy (Tetrabiblos, Book III) emphasizes that planets in their proper sect are strengthened, while planets contrary to sect are weakened. A day chart with Jupiter angular is far more favorable than Saturn in the same position.
**Source Differences**:
- Valens: More emphasis on sect in time-lord systems
- Ptolemy: More theoretical, applies to natal interpretation
- Dorotheus: Less explicit about sect distinctions
""",
"profections": """Annual Profections (Epembasis)
The technique advances one house per year of life from the Ascendant.
**Method** (from Valens, Anthology Book IV):
1. Count age in complete years
2. Each year = one house from Ascendant
3. The profected house's ruler becomes the "Lord of the Year"
**Example**:
- Age 0-11 months: 1st house
- Age 1: 2nd house
- Age 12: Returns to 1st house (first return)
- Age 25: 2nd house (third time)
**Application**:
The Lord of the Year is activated. Transits to that planet are significant. The house profected to shows the area of life emphasis.
**Paulus Alexandrinus** adds that planets in the profected house are also activated that year.

Each sign is divided into five unequal sections, each ruled by a planet.
**Ptolemy vs Egyptian System**:
Ptolemy (Tetrabiblos I.21) presents his own system, but most practitioners use the older Egyptian bounds found in Valens.
**Significance** (per Valens):
- Bounds = +2 dignity points
- Show more refined planet influence within a sign
- Used in time-lord distributions
**Example - Aries** (Egyptian):
- 0-6Β°: Jupiter
- 6-12Β°: Venus
- 12-20Β°: Mercury
- 20-25Β°: Mars
- 25-30Β°: Saturn

### π§ About This Integration
**What it does:**
- Fetches chart data from Astroseek.com
- Demonstrates MCP integration with external services
- Shows how HERMES can connect to third-party APIs
**Limitations:**
- Web scraping (not an official API)
- Requires internet connection
- May break if Astroseek changes HTML
- Rate limited (1 request/second)
- Subject to Astroseek's terms of service
**Better Alternatives:**
- Use HERMES built-in calculators (other tabs)
- Swiss Ephemeris via pyswisseph (included)
- Astro.com API (official)
- AstroDienst API
**Why include this?**
This demonstrates HERMES can integrate with external chart services through the MCP protocol,
showing architectural flexibility for the MCP Birthday Hackathon.
For actual chart analysis, use the HERMES calculators in the other tabs!

## π Primary Ancient Sources
All techniques in HERMES are based on authentic ancient texts:
### Hellenistic Era (1st-7th century CE)
- **Vettius Valens** (*Anthology*, 2nd century CE) - Our primary source for profections, zodiacal releasing, and lots
- **Claudius Ptolemy** (*Tetrabiblos*, 2nd century CE) - Theoretical foundations of essential dignities and sect
- **Dorotheus of Sidon** (*Carmen Astrologicum*, 1st century CE) - Early treatment of time-lord techniques
- **Paulus Alexandrinus** (*Introductory Matters*, 4th century CE) - Teaching manual with profections
- **Firmicus Maternus** (*Mathesis*, 4th century CE) - Late Hellenistic synthesis
- **Rhetorius of Egypt** (6th-7th century CE) - Compilation and commentary on earlier authors
### Modern Translations & Commentary
- **Robert Schmidt** - Project Hindsight translations from Greek and Latin
- **Chris Brennan** - *Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune* (2017) - Comprehensive modern synthesis
- **Demetra George** - *Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice* (2019) - Practical application guide
### Technique Sources
- **Domicile, Exaltation, Triplicity** β Ptolemy (*Tetrabiblos* I.17-21), Valens (*Anthology* passim)
- **Egyptian Bounds** β Preserved in Valens and Paulus (distinct from Ptolemy's system)
- **Decans (Faces)** β Attributed to Egyptian sources, preserved by Hellenistic authors
- **Lots (Fortune, Spirit)** β Valens (*Anthology* III, IV), Paulus (*Introductory Matters*)
- **Annual Profections** β Valens (*Anthology* IV), Paulus (*Introductory Matters* 23)
- **Zodiacal Releasing** β Valens (*Anthology* IV.4-11) - detailed treatment of "Loosing of the Bond"
- **Sect Theory** β Valens (*Anthology* III.2), Ptolemy (*Tetrabiblos* III.2)
### Why These Sources Matter
Unlike modern psychological astrology, Hellenistic astrology is a **reconstructed tradition** based on
ancient texts that were lost for centuries. Thanks to Project Hindsight (1990s-2000s) and modern scholars,
we can now practice astrology as the Greeks and Romans did - with time-lord techniques, essential dignities,
and a focus on prediction rather than personality.
HERMES aims to make these authentic ancient techniques accessible through modern AI technology.
