 # Changelog
 
+## 0.4.0 (2026-08-06)
+
+**Traditional dignities, transit timing, two more house systems, minor
+aspects, four new configurations, antiscia, draconic charts, solar arc,
+lunar & annual predictive tools.** All pure Ruby, additive and
+backward-compatible.
+
+- **Minor aspects**: `Aspects.calculate(a, b, minor: true)` also matches
+  十二分相 (30°), 半四分相 (45°), 補八分相 (135°) and 補十二分相 (quincunx,
+  150°). Default stays major-only; minor aspects carry tighter orbs and never
+  shadow a major one.
+- **New aspect patterns** in `Patterns.detect` (and every `Chart#generate`
+  output): 上帝之指 (Yod: sextile base + quincunx apex), 風箏 (Kite: a 大三角
+  plus an opposing/sextiling focal body, reported alongside the trine), 神祕
+  矩形 (Mystic Rectangle: two oppositions joined by sextiles and trines) and
+  星群 (Stellium: 3+ bodies in one sign). Existing 大三角/T三角/大十字 output is
+  unchanged; the node-axis exclusion rules extend to the new configurations.
+- **Antiscia**: `Points.antiscion` (reflection across the 巨蟹–摩羯 solstice
+  axis) and `Points.contra_antiscion` (across the 牡羊–天秤 equinox axis).
+- **Draconic charts (龍盤)**: new `AstroChart::Draconic` — `.positions` shifts
+  every longitude so the natal 北交點 sits at 0° 牡羊; `.chart` adds draconic
+  signs, in-sign degrees and inter-aspects.
+- **Two more house systems**: Equal (`"E"`, from the ascendant) and Porphyry
+  (`"O"`, quadrant trisection), joining Placidus (`"P"`) and Whole Sign
+  (`"W"`). Both are pure geometry off the ASC/MC and are defined at every
+  latitude |lat| < 90° (including inside the polar circle, where Placidus
+  raises). Ord aliases 69/79 mirror the C-extension int argument.
+- **Essential dignities (必然尊貴)**: new `AstroChart::Dignities` — 廟/旺/三分性/
+  界/外觀 with the traditional rulerships and Dorothean triplicities.
+  `.of(planet, longitude, sect:)` reports a planet's dignities/debilities and
+  Lilly-weighted score (+5/+4/+3/+2/+1); `.almuten(longitude, sect:)` returns
+  the winning planet at a degree; plus `.domicile_ruler`/`detriment_ruler`/
+  `exaltation_ruler`/`fall_ruler`/`triplicity_ruler`/`term_ruler`/`face_ruler`.
+  界 ships both 埃及界 (Egyptian, `scheme: :egyptian`, the default) and 托勒密界
+  (Ptolemaic, `scheme: :ptolemaic`); both are cross-validated against Astrolog
+  and the Egyptian table matches several independent references.
+- **Annual profection (小限法)**: new `AstroChart::Profection` — `.annual(asc,
+  age)` and `.at(asc, birth_date, target_date)` give the profected house/sign
+  and Lord of the Year (年主星).
+- **Transit timing (行運精確時點)**: new `AstroChart::TransitTiming.events` —
+  the exact UTC instants in a date range when a transiting body perfects an
+  aspect to a natal point, found by bracket-and-bisect on the ephemeris
+  (robust through retrograde stations, so all three passes of an outer-planet
+  contact are caught). `minor:`, `step_days:` and `bodies:` options.
+- **Solar arc directions (太陽弧推運)**: new `AstroChart::SolarArc.directions`
+  — directs the whole chart rigidly by the secondary-progressed Sun's arc and
+  reports directed-to-natal aspects.
+- **Lunar returns (月亮回歸)**: new `AstroChart::LunarReturn.for_date` — the
+  chart at the Moon's monthly return to its natal longitude, relocatable like
+  the solar return.
+
+## 0.3.0 (2026-07-24)
+
+**Predictive & comparison modules, whole-sign houses, retrograde flags,
+derived points, pattern detection.** All pure Ruby, MIT.
+
+- **Whole-sign houses**: `Chart.new(..., house_system: "W")` ("P" Placidus
+  remains the default; anything else raises `ArgumentError`). Whole-sign
+  works at all latitudes |lat| < 90° (including polar latitudes, where
+  Placidus still raises); Placidus output is byte-identical to 0.2.0.
+  `Ephemeris.houses` / `Pure.houses` accept `"W"` too.
+- **Retrograde flags**: every planet entry in `Chart#generate` gains
+  `"retrograde" => true/false` (central-difference daily motion via the new
+  `Ephemeris.speed(jd, id)` / `Ephemeris.retrograde?(jd, id)`). 太陽/月亮
+  are hard-false, 南交點 mirrors 北交點, derived/ruler points are false.
+  Within half a day of a body's valid ephemeris window edge (e.g. the
+  Pluto series' 1885–2099 range) the speed stencil falls back to a
+  one-sided difference, so edge-of-range charts still generate.
+- **Derived points** (`AstroChart::Points`): 福點 (Part of Fortune,
+  day/night formula; sect judged from the horizon — ASC–DSC axis — so it
+  is independent of the display house system) and 莉莉絲 (mean Black Moon
+  Lilith, Meeus mean lunar apogee + 180°, verified < 0.13° vs Swiss
+  Ephemeris across 1900–2050). Both appended to `Chart#generate` planets,
+  before the ruler points.
+- **Transits** (`AstroChart::Transits`): `.at(jd)` sky snapshot;
+  `.against(natal, jd, orb_limit: 3.0)` places transiting bodies in natal
+  houses and lists transit-to-natal aspects sorted by orb.
+- **Secondary progressions** (`AstroChart::Progressions`):
+  `.secondary(natal, "YYYY-MM-DD", orb_limit: 1.0)` — day-for-a-year
+  progressed positions, natal house placement, aspects to natal.
+- **Composite charts** (`AstroChart::Composite`): `.between(a, b)` —
+  shorter-arc midpoint chart of two natal charts, with internal aspects.
+- **Solar returns** (`AstroChart::SolarReturn`): `.for_year(natal, year,
+  latitude:, longitude:, timezone:)` — Newton-iterated exact return
+  instant, full relocated chart at that moment.
+- **Aspect patterns** (`AstroChart::Patterns.detect`): 大三角 (with
+  element), T三角 (with apex), 大十字; node-axis oppositions excluded
+  from opposition legs; 大十字 subsumes its own T三角s; an opposition
+  squared by the node axis is reported as a single T三角 (apex 北交點)
+  rather than mirrored 北/南交點 twins. `Chart#generate` now includes
+  `"patterns"`.
+- **Element statistics** (`AstroChart::Stats.elements`): 火土風水 element
+  and 基本固定變動 modality counts over the 10 classical planets.
+  `Chart#generate` now includes `"element_stats"` and `"house_system"`.
+- `Houses.calculate` now takes the house system as a keyword
+  (`system: "P"`).
+

+# AstroChart
+
+Pure-Ruby gem for astrology chart calculation: apparent planetary
+longitudes, four house systems (Placidus, whole-sign, equal, Porphyry),
+retrograde flags, major & minor aspects, derived points (福點/莉莉絲/映點),
+aspect patterns, element statistics, essential dignities & almuten,
+synastry, transits, transit timing, secondary progressions, solar arc
+directions, composite & draconic charts, solar & lunar returns, and annual
+profection.
+
+**No C extension, no external data files, MIT licensed.** Implemented from
+public formulas (Jean Meeus, *Astronomical Algorithms* 2nd ed.; VSOP87D;
+ELP-2000/82B), verified against Swiss Ephemeris to < 0.014° (most bodies
+< 0.001°) across 1900–2026 with zero zodiac sign flips.

+}
+```
+
+### Planets Included
+
+太陽, 月亮, 水星, 金星, 火星, 木星, 土星, 天王星, 海王星, 冥王星, 北交點（真交點）, 南交點
+
+Plus derived points 福點 (Part of Fortune) and 莉莉絲 (mean Black Moon
+Lilith), and three ruler points: 北交點定位星, 南交點定位星, 上升星座定位星
+— 17 entries total, in that order.
+
+Every entry carries `"retrograde"` (central-difference daily motion;
+太陽/月亮 and derived/ruler points are always `false`, 南交點 mirrors
+北交點).
+
+### House Systems
+
+Four systems, via `Chart.new(..., house_system: ...)`:
+
+| Code | System | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `"P"` | Placidus (default) | time-based; undefined inside the polar circle (raises) |
+| `"W"` | Whole Sign | cusps on sign boundaries from the ascendant's sign |
+| `"E"` | Equal | cusp 1 = ASC, then +30°; the true MC is still reported |
+| `"O"` | Porphyry | quadrant trisection between the four angles |
+
+Any other value raises `ArgumentError`. `W`/`E`/`O` are pure ASC/MC geometry
+and are defined at every latitude |lat| < 90° — including polar latitudes,
+where Placidus is undefined. (`Ephemeris.houses` also accepts the ord aliases
+`80`/`87`/`69`/`79`.)
+
+### Aspects
+
+Major: 合相 (0°, orb 15°), 六分相 (60°, orb 6°), 四分相 (90°, orb 8°), 三分相 (120°, orb 8°), 對分相 (180°, orb 10°).
+
+Minor (opt-in via `Aspects.calculate(a, b, minor: true)`): 十二分相 (30°), 半四分相 (45°), 補八分相 (135°), 補十二分相/quincunx (150°) — tighter orbs, and they never shadow a major aspect.
+
+### Synastry (合盤)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::Synastry.between(chart_a, chart_b, orb_limit: 6.0)
+
+result["aspects"]
+#=> [{ "a_planet" => "太陽", "b_planet" => "月亮",
+#      "aspect_type" => "三分相", "orb" => 1.23 }, ...]  # sorted by orb
+
+result["a_planets_in_b_houses"]  #=> { "太陽" => 7, ... }  (house overlay)
+result["b_planets_in_a_houses"]  #=> { "月亮" => 12, ... }
+```
+
+Lower-level: `Synastry.cross_aspects(positions_a, positions_b)` and
+`Synastry.house_overlay(positions, cusps)` work on raw longitude hashes.
+
+### Transits (行運)
+
+```ruby
+jd = AstroChart::TimeConversion.to_julian_day("2026-07-24", "12:00", "Asia/Taipei")
+
+AstroChart::Transits.at(jd)
+#=> { "太陽" => 121.9, ... }  # sky snapshot, 12 bodies
+
+result = AstroChart::Transits.against(natal_chart, jd, orb_limit: 3.0)
+result["planets"]  # 12 transiting bodies with "natal_house"
+result["aspects"]  # [{ "transit_planet" => "土星", "natal_planet" => "太陽",
+                   #    "aspect_type" => "四分相", "orb" => 1.23 }, ...] sorted by orb
+```
+
+### Secondary Progressions (二次推運)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::Progressions.secondary(natal_chart, "2026-07-24", orb_limit: 1.0)
+result["progressed_jd"]     # day-for-a-year progressed Julian Day
+result["years_elapsed"]     # e.g. 36.56
+result["planets"]           # progressed positions + natal house placement
+result["aspects_to_natal"]  # [{ "progressed_planet" => ..., "natal_planet" => ... }]
+```
+
+### Composite Charts (組合盤)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::Composite.between(chart_a, chart_b)
+result["planets"]  # shorter-arc midpoints of the 12 bodies
+result["aspects"]  # aspects among the composite positions, sorted by orb
+```
+
+(No composite houses — midpoint houses are not well-defined.)
+
+### Solar Returns (太陽回歸)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::SolarReturn.for_year(natal_chart, 2026)
+result["return_jd"]        # exact JD (UT) the Sun returns to its natal longitude
+result["return_time_utc"]  # "2026-07-03T05:12:34Z"
+result["chart"]            # full chart at that instant (relocate with
+                           # latitude:/longitude:/timezone: overrides)
+```
+
+### Transit Timing (行運精確時點)
+
+The exact UTC instants, within a date range, when a transiting body perfects
+an aspect to a natal point — the "when" that `Transits.against` (a snapshot)
+can't give:
+
+```ruby
+events = AstroChart::TransitTiming.events(natal_chart, "2026-01-01", "2026-12-31")
+events.first
+#=> { "transit_planet" => "土星", "natal_planet" => "太陽",
+#     "aspect_type" => "四分相", "jd" => 2461...,
+#     "time_utc" => "2026-03-14T07:22:10Z", "transit_zodiac" => "牡羊座",
+#     "retrograde" => false }
+```
+
+Found by bracket-and-bisect on the ephemeris, so it is robust through
+retrograde stations — all three passes of an outer-planet contact are caught.
+Options: `minor:` (also time the minor aspects), `step_days:` (sampling
+stride, default 1.0), `bodies:` (restrict transiting bodies, e.g. drop `"月亮"`
+to avoid the Moon's monthly hits). Events are sorted by time.
+
+### Solar Arc Directions (太陽弧推運)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::SolarArc.directions(natal_chart, "2026-07-24")
+result["arc"]              # degrees the chart is directed (~1° per year of life)
+result["planets"]          # every natal point advanced rigidly by the arc
+result["aspects_to_natal"] # directed→natal aspects, sorted by orb
+```
+
+The arc is the secondary-progressed Sun's travel since birth; unlike secondary
+progressions, the whole chart moves at that single rate.
+
+### Lunar Returns (月亮回歸)
+
+```ruby
+result = AstroChart::LunarReturn.for_date(natal_chart, "2026-07-24")
+result["return_jd"]        # JD (UT) of the lunar return nearest the date
+result["return_time_utc"]  # "2026-07-31T09:54:22Z"
+result["chart"]            # full chart at that instant (relocatable)
+```
+
+The monthly (~27.32-day) analogue of the solar return.
+
+### Draconic Charts (龍盤)
+
+```ruby
+positions = AstroChart::Planets.calculate_positions(jd)  # or any { name => longitude }
+AstroChart::Draconic.positions(positions, north_node)    # shift so 北交點 = 0° 牡羊
+AstroChart::Draconic.chart(positions, north_node)
+#=> { "planets" => [{ "planet" =>, "zodiac" =>, "degree" =>, "total_degree" => }...],
+#     "aspects" => [...] }   # draconic signs + inter-aspects
+```
+
+### Essential Dignities (必然尊貴)
+
+Traditional 廟/旺/三分性/界/外觀 with the traditional rulerships, Dorothean
+triplicities, and both Egyptian and Ptolemaic terms. Pure lookup tables.
+
+```ruby
+D = AstroChart::Dignities
+
+D.of("火星", 5.0)                    # 火星 at 5° 牡羊
+#=> { "planet" => "火星", "dignities" => ["廟", "外觀"],
+#     "debilities" => [], "score" => 6 }
+
+D.almuten(5.0, sect: :day)          #=> { "planet" => "太陽", "score" => 7, "tied" => ["太陽"] }
+
+D.term_ruler(13.0, scheme: :ptolemaic) #=> "金星"   (:egyptian is the default)
+D.domicile_ruler(215)  #=> "火星"    D.triplicity_ruler(5, sect: :night) #=> "木星"
+D.face_ruler(120)      #=> "土星"    D.exaltation_ruler(5)               #=> "太陽"
+```
+
+Dignities score +5/+4/+3/+2/+1 (廟/旺/三分性/界/外觀); debilities 陷 (detriment),
+弱 (fall). Rulers are the seven traditional planets (dignity theory predates
+the outer planets), so these differ from `Zodiac.ruler`'s modern rulerships.
+
+### Annual Profection (小限法)
+
+```ruby
+AstroChart::Profection.annual(ascendant_longitude, 36)
+#=> { "age" => 36, "profected_house" => 1, "profected_sign" => "牡羊座",
+#     "year_lord" => "火星" }
+
+AstroChart::Profection.at(ascendant_longitude, "1990-01-01", "2026-08-05")
+# derives the age from the two dates, then profects
+```
+
+Each completed year advances one whole sign from the ascendant; the
+traditional ruler of the profected sign is the Lord of the Year (年主星).
+
+### Patterns & Element Stats
+
+Included in `Chart#generate` output, or usable standalone on any
+`{ name => longitude }` hash:
+
+```ruby
+AstroChart::Patterns.detect(positions)
+#=> [{ "pattern_type" => "大三角",   "planets" => [...], "element" => "火" },
+#    { "pattern_type" => "T三角",    "planets" => [...], "apex" => "火星" },
+#    { "pattern_type" => "大十字",   "planets" => [...] },
+#    { "pattern_type" => "上帝之指", "planets" => [...], "apex" => "水星" },  # Yod
+#    { "pattern_type" => "風箏",     "planets" => [...], "apex" => "月亮" },  # Kite
+#    { "pattern_type" => "神祕矩形", "planets" => [...] },                   # Mystic Rectangle
+#    { "pattern_type" => "星群",     "planets" => [...], "zodiac" => "牡羊座" }] # Stellium
+
+AstroChart::Stats.elements(positions)
+#=> { "elements"   => { "火" => 3, "土" => 2, "風" => 3, "水" => 2 },

+
+```ruby
+AstroChart::Points.lilith(jd)  #=> 216.47 (mean Black Moon Lilith, 0-360)
+AstroChart::Points.fortune(asc: asc, sun: sun, moon: moon, day_chart: true)
+AstroChart::Points.day_chart?(sun_longitude, cusps)  #=> true / false / nil
+AstroChart::Points.day_chart_from_horizon?(sun_longitude, ascendant)
+# Chart#generate determines 福點 sect from the horizon (ASC-DSC axis),
+# so the same birth instant yields the same 福點 under "P" and "W".
+
+# 映點 / 反映點 (antiscia / contra-antiscia)
+AstroChart::Points.antiscion(15.0)        #=> 165.0  (across the 巨蟹–摩羯 axis)
+AstroChart::Points.contra_antiscion(15.0) #=> 345.0  (across the 牡羊–天秤 axis)
+```
+
+### Individual Modules
+
+```ruby
+# Zodiac sign from ecliptic longitude
+AstroChart::Zodiac.sign_name(280.5)  #=> "摩羯座"
+AstroChart::Zodiac.ruler("摩羯座")    #=> "土星"
+
+# Aspect between two positions
+AstroChart::Aspects.calculate(0, 90)  #=> ["四分相", 0.0]
+
+# Julian Day conversion
+jd = AstroChart::TimeConversion.to_julian_day("1990-01-01", "12:00", "Asia/Taipei")
+
+# Raw ephemeris access (planet ids follow the SE convention)
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.julday(2000, 1, 1, 12.0)
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.calc_ut(jd, AstroChart::Ephemeris::PLANETS["太陽"])
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.houses(jd, 25.033, 121.565)        # Placidus
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.houses(jd, 25.033, 121.565, "W")   # Whole Sign
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.houses(jd, 25.033, 121.565, "E")   # Equal
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.houses(jd, 25.033, 121.565, "O")   # Porphyry
+
+# Daily motion / retrograde detection
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.speed(jd, 2)        #=> degrees/day (negative = retrograde)
+AstroChart::Ephemeris.retrograde?(jd, 2)  #=> true / false
+```
+
+## Backends
+
+The default backend is `:pure` (pure Ruby, always available). The legacy
+Swiss Ephemeris C extension backend can still be selected **if you compile
+and provide the extension yourself** — it is no longer shipped with this gem
+(it is AGPL-licensed, see 0.1.x):
+
+```ruby
+AstroChart.backend          #=> :pure
+AstroChart.backend = :swiss # raises LoadError unless the extension is present
+```
+
+## Accuracy & Limits
+
+- Verified against Swiss Ephemeris (Moshier), 1900–2026, 400 samples per
+  body: Sun ≤ 0.0002°, Moon ≤ 0.0013°, planets ≤ 0.0006°, Pluto ≤ 0.0005°,
+  true node ≤ 0.014°, house cusps ≤ 0.0003°. Zero zodiac sign flips.
+- 莉莉絲 (mean Black Moon Lilith) uses the Meeus mean lunar perigee
+  polynomial + 180°; verified ≤ 0.13° vs Swiss Ephemeris across 1900–2050.
+- Whole-sign cusps verified identical to Swiss Ephemeris, including inside
+  the polar circle. Retrograde flags verified against Swiss central-difference
+  speeds (Mercury 2020–2024, every sample matches).
+- Transit / progression / solar-return positions verified within 0.003° of
+  Swiss Ephemeris at sampled instants (1962–2033).
+- Pluto series is valid 1885–2099 (raises outside this range).
+- **House systems: Placidus (`"P"`), Whole Sign (`"W"`), Equal (`"E"`) and
+  Porphyry (`"O"`)** on the pure backend. Other systems raise `ArgumentError`.
+  Polar latitudes (|lat| ≳ 66.5°) raise `AstroChart::Pure::Core::DomainError`
+  on Placidus — it is undefined there; use whole-sign, equal or Porphyry for
+  polar charts. Porphyry shares the four angles with Placidus and trisects
+  each quadrant; verified against those invariants.
+
+## Geocoding
+
+This gem does **not** handle geocoding. Pass latitude, longitude, and
+timezone directly. For city-to-coordinate conversion, use the
+[geocoder](https://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder) gem or your own lookup
+table.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+rake spec
+```
+
+The hosted web app and MCP server that build on this gem live in a
+separate repository and depend on `astro_chart` as a normal gem.
