Ephemeris

Ephemeris provides dignity and relationship calculations around the existing swe4r binding to the open source Swiss Ephemeris.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ephemeris'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ephemeris

Usage

Ephemeris::Zodiac::Aspect provides multiple modules (Conjunction, Opposition, Square, Trine, Sextile) which can be used to produce boolean results on the relationship between planets.

Ephemeris::Zodiac::Dignity provides boolean results for basic essential dignities (exaltation, domicile, detriment, fall) and (IMHO) and unreliable representation of triplicity. Decanate dignities are not represented (yet).

All methods expect at least one Ephemeris::Planet instance (Hellenistic planets supported; no outer planets or small bodies); obviously, aspect queries will expect two.

TODO List

• Better triplicity API
• Decans in dignity API
• Generic queries like ::dignified? or ::afflicted?
