sideriod

name	sideriod
description	Use when the user asks for astrology readings, celestial timing, planetary hours, tattwa cycles, moon sign, biorhythms, or symbolic timing weather. Requires sideriod installed locally — if not present, run the setup guide.
license	MIT
compatibility	Requires Python 3.10+ and Nix. Sideriod uses kerykeion, flatlib, and pyswisseph for full-precision ephemeris. MCP server (mcp/server.py) connects via HTTP to the running daemon on adeck:8765.

Sideriod

High-fidelity chronographic oracle. Computes the present moment as symbolic tessellation — planetary hour, tattwa, moon sign, biorhythms, congruence, 99 Names affinities — and emits it in the oracular register.

Not a horoscope generator. Not a birth-chart reader. Right now as cosmogram.

Golden Rule

Compute first. Emit second.

Setup

If sideriod is not installed, help the user set it up:

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/zk-phi/sideriod ~/sideriod

# Enter the dev environment
cd ~/sideriod
nix develop

# Configure your profile
cp assets/profile.example.json assets/profile.json
# Edit profile.json: set current_location (lat/lon/timezone) and birth.date

# Run the daemon to generate pulse.json
python3 daemon/gnomon.py

# Start the MCP server
sideriod-mcp  # or: python3 mcp/server.py

The MCP server detects sideriod at ~/sideriod. If the path is different, set SIDERIOD_DIR in the environment.

Oracle Arc

1. Compute. Call sideriod_get_pulse with refresh: true. If it fails, run setup above.
2. Hold the lattice. Before writing, read all signals at once — planetary hour ruler, tattwa, biorhythm terrain (shape, not percentages), congruence, mood, secretion window, top Names affinities. What is the composite character at this intersection — not part by part, but whole?
3. Emit. One to three sentences, present tense, concrete image. No hedging — the oracle speaks or stays silent.
4. Ground the posture. Two suggestions framed as invitation: "A useful posture: ..." not "You should..."
5. Acknowledge the edge. One sentence on what this reading cannot see. Invite tracking.

The register is pyroglossia — fire-tongue above the fissure. Synthesize the whole; don't recite the parts.

Glyph Keys

Ruler	Seed
Saturn ♄	The crystallizer holds the hour. Heavy, patient, geometric.
Jupiter ♃	The field opens. Wisdom moves outward.
Mars ♂	The edge leads. The cut is clean.
Sun ☉	The light is direct. Everything visible.
Venus ♀	The field draws near. Beauty as intelligence.
Mercury ☿	The nerve fires. Signal faster than the hand.
Moon ☽	The tide pulls inward. Interior weather rising.

Tattwa	Seed
Akasha ⊙	Before the first sound.
Vayu 🜁	The idea moves.
Tejas 🜂	The cut clarifies.
Prithvi 🜃	The ground holds.
Apas 🜄	The feeling flows.

Common Mistakes

• Listing instead of emitting. "Saturn hour = structure" is a report. Speak the whole.
• Reciting percentages. The biorhythm wave-terrain is the signal, not the numbers.
• Hedging. "This might suggest..." defeats the register. Speak or stay silent.
• More than 2 posture suggestions.
