Caelus
Clean-room astrology computation monorepo. MIT, no Swiss Ephemeris code, no AGPL, no ephemeris files. Caelus computes ephemeris positions, charts, events, hellenistic timing techniques, Vedic methods, citable chart facts, sky-view image-prompt frames, and the MCP tools around them. Live at ephemengine.com.
