## Installation

You can install Nataly using pip:

```bash
pip install nataly
```

For development installation:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/gokerDEV/nataly.git
cd nataly
pip install -e .
```

### Ephemeris Files (Required for Asteroids)

**Important:** For asteroid calculations (Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta, Chiron), ephemeris files are required. The package automatically includes these files, but if you encounter issues:

#### Manual Download (if needed):
```bash
# Create ephemeris directory
mkdir -p ephe

# Download asteroid ephemeris files
curl -L -o ephe/seas_18.se1 https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/seas_18.se1
curl -L -o ephe/semo_18.se1 https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/semo_18.se1
curl -L -o ephe/semom18.se1 https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/semom18.se1
curl -L -o ephe/sepl_18.se1 https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/sepl_18.se1
curl -L -o ephe/seplm18.se1 https://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/ephe/seplm18.se1
```

#### Verify Installation:
```python
from nataly import NatalChart
import datetime

# Test chart with asteroids
birth_dt = datetime.datetime(1990, 2, 27, 9, 15, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Test",
    dt_utc=birth_dt,
    lat=38.25,
    lon=27.09
)

# Check for asteroids
asteroids = [body for body in chart.bodies_dict.values() if body.body_type == "Asteroid"]
print(f"Found {len(asteroids)} asteroids: {[a.name for a in asteroids]}")
```

## Quick Start

```python
import datetime
from nataly import NatalChart, create_orb_config, to_utc

# Path to ephemeris directory (must be set by user)
ephe_path = "./ephe"  # <-- Set this to your .se1 files directory

# Create a natal chart
birth_dt = to_utc('1990-02-27 09:15', '+02:00')
chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Joe Doe",
    dt_utc=birth_dt,
    lat=38.25,  # Izmir, Turkey
    lon=27.09,
    orb_config=create_orb_config('Placidus'),  # 'Placidus' is an alias for 'Default'
    ephe_path=ephe_path
)

# Get planetary positions with declination
sun = chart.get_body_by_name("Sun")
print(f"Sun: {sun.signed_dms} in House {sun.house}")
print(f"Sun declination: {sun.declination_dms}")

# Get aspects
for aspect in chart.aspects:
    print(f"{aspect.body1.name} {aspect.symbol} {aspect.body2.name} (orb: {aspect.orb_str})")

# Get distributions
print("Element distribution:", chart.element_distribution)
print("Modality distribution:", chart.modality_distribution)

# Get house cusps with declination
for house in chart.houses:
    print(f"House {house.id}: {house.dms} {house.sign.name} (declination: {house.declination_dms})")
```

## Advanced Usage

### Enhanced Chart Reports

```python
# Generate comprehensive natal chart report
from nataly import NatalChart, to_utc

birth_dt = to_utc('1997-03-28 18:00', '+02:00')
chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Joe Doe",
    dt_utc=birth_dt,
    lat=41.0529,  # Istanbul, Turkey
    lon=29.0661,
    ephe_path="./ephe"
)

# Get all bodies with absolute longitude and declination
for body in chart.get_bodies():
    print(f"{body.name}: {body.absolute_dms} (declination: {body.declination_dms})")

# Get house cusps with declination
for house in chart.houses:
    print(f"House {house.id}: {house.absolute_dms} {house.sign.name} (declination: {house.declination_dms})")
```

### Filtering Celestial Bodies

```python
from nataly import BodyFilter

# Get only planets (excluding luminaries)
planets_filter = BodyFilter(
    include_planets=True,
    include_luminaries=False,
    include_asteroids=False
)
planets = chart.get_bodies(planets_filter)

# Get bodies in specific signs
fire_signs = chart.get_bodies_by_signs(["Aries", "Leo", "Sagittarius"])

# Get retrograde bodies
retrograde = chart.get_retrograde_bodies()
```

### Transit Analysis

```python
from nataly import AstroEngine

# Create transit chart
transit_dt = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)
transit_chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Current Transit",
    dt_utc=transit_dt,
    lat=38.25,
    lon=27.09
)

# Calculate aspects between transit and natal
engine = AstroEngine()
transit_aspects = engine.get_aspects(
    transit_chart.bodies_dict, 
    chart.bodies_dict
)
```

### Custom Orb Configuration

```python
from nataly import OrbConfig

# Create custom orb configuration
custom_orbs = {
    'luminaries': {
        'Conjunction': 10.0,
        'Opposition': 10.0,
        'Trine': 8.0,
        'Square': 8.0
    },
    'planets': {
        'Conjunction': 8.0,
        'Opposition': 8.0,
        'Trine': 6.0,
        'Square': 6.0
    },
    'angles': {
        'Conjunction': 1.0,
        'Opposition': 1.0,
        'Trine': 1.0,
        'Square': 1.0
    }
}

orb_config = OrbConfig.from_dict(custom_orbs)
chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Custom Orbs",
    dt_utc=birth_dt,
    lat=38.25,
    lon=27.09,
    orb_config=orb_config
)
```

## Ephemeris Files (REQUIRED)

**You MUST provide the path to your ephemeris directory via ephe_path=... in all code.**

Required files:
- seas_18.se1 (asteroids)
- sepl_18.se1 (planets)
- semo_18.se1 (asteroids)
- seplm18.se1 (planets)
- semom18.se1 (asteroids)

Example check:
```python
import os
required_files = ["seas_18.se1", "sepl_18.se1", "semo_18.se1", "seplm18.se1", "semom18.se1"]
ephe_path = "./ephe"
if not os.path.isdir(ephe_path):
    raise RuntimeError(f"Ephemeris directory not found: {ephe_path}")
missing = [f for f in required_files if not os.path.isfile(os.path.join(ephe_path, f))]
if missing:
    raise RuntimeError(f"Missing ephemeris files in {ephe_path}: {missing}")
```

1. Go to https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swedownload_j.htm
2. Download ephemeris files (e.g., `seas_18.se1`)
3. Place files in `ephe/` directory

**Note:** These files are required for accurate declination calculations and asteroid positions.

## Orb Config
- 'Placidus' is an alias for 'Default' in orb_config (for compatibility)

## Declination Calculations

Nataly provides accurate declination calculations for both celestial bodies and house cusps:

### Body Declinations
- Uses Swiss Ephemeris equatorial coordinates for precise declination values
- Compatible with astro.com and other professional astrological software
- Available for all planets, asteroids, and lunar nodes

### House Cusp Declinations
- Calculated using proper astrological formulas with dynamic obliquity
- Uses IAU 2006 formula for mean obliquity based on Julian centuries since J2000
- Accurate for all historical and future dates

### Usage Example
```python
# Get body declination
sun = chart.get_body_by_name("Sun")
print(f"Sun declination: {sun.declination_dms}")

# Get house cusp declination
first_house = chart.houses[0]
print(f"1st House declination: {first_house.declination_dms}")
```

## Geometric Chart Layout (NEW in 0.1.3)

Nataly now provides geometric layout data for visualizing natal charts via the `ChartLayout` class:

```python
from nataly import NatalChart, ChartLayout
import datetime

# Create a natal chart
birth_dt = datetime.datetime(1990, 2, 27, 9, 15, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
chart = NatalChart(
    person_name="Joe Doe",
    dt_utc=birth_dt,
    lat=38.4192,  # Izmir, Turkey
    lon=27.1287
)

# Get geometric layout data for visualization
layout = ChartLayout(chart)
layout_data = layout.get_data()
print("Chart center:", layout_data["center"])
print("First house line:", layout_data["natal"]["houses"][0])
print("First planet position:", layout_data["natal"]["bodies"][0])
```

See `examples/basic_usage.py` for a runnable sample.
