Setup Mode

1. Ask for: birth date (YYYY-MM-DD), birth time (HH:MM), birth city (lat/lon + timezone)
2. Ask for: Telegram chat ID, preferred delivery time + timezone
3. Run all calculation scripts: natal chart, Ba-Zi, numerology
4. Write results to ~/clawd/memory/horoscope-users.md (include lat/lon, LifePath number)
5. Create daily cron job
6. Confirm: Western sign + ASC + Ba-Zi Day Master + LifePath + delivery schedule

Daily Mode

Cron triggers 4 scripts → all JSON fed to LLM → compose multi-system horoscope → Telegram.

See references/horoscope-prompt-template.md for full agentTurn message.

On-Demand Mode

Trigger: "my horoscope", "horoscope now", "what's my horoscope today"

Same flow, inline (not isolated session). Includes daily I Ching hexagram.

I Ching Mode

Trigger: "cast I Ching", "throw hexagram", "que Kinh Dich"

• Random cast: 3-coin method, cryptographic randomness
• Manual input: User provides upper/lower trigrams + moving lines
• Output: primary hexagram, moving lines, transformed hexagram, SPARK summary

Management Commands

Command	Action
"pause horoscope"	Disable cron job
"resume horoscope"	Enable cron job
"change horoscope time to 7am"	Update cron schedule
"remove horoscope"	Delete cron job + memory entry

Error Handling

• kerykeion fails: Fallback to fetch-planetary-positions.py (API-based, no houses)
• API down: LLM generates horoscope from zodiac knowledge only
• Memory missing: Prompt user to run setup first
• I Ching data missing: Generate hexagram from embedded trigram math only
