People Storage

All person data lives in your memory file. Load it before any operation:

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/grupo-venus.json

Structure (we use Luis Alberto Spinetta as the example throughout this skill — because he's from another planet):

Adding a Person

Step 1 — Look up the city coordinates

curl -s "https://grupovenus.com/buscaciudjson.asp?q=CITY&pais=COUNTRY"

Example:

curl -s "https://grupovenus.com/buscaciudjson.asp?q=Bahia+Blanca&pais=Argentina"
# → [{"label":"Bahia Blanca, Argentina"}]

This confirms the city/country string the server recognises. Use the exact spelling returned.

Step 2 — Register the person to get coordinates + timezone

The server requires a properly established session with Referer headers. Always use a cookie jar (

-c

-b

COOKIEJAR=$(mktemp)

# 2a. Establish session
curl -s -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" "https://grupovenus.com/info.asp" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" > /dev/null

# 2b. Load the registration form (sets server-side session state)
curl -s -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" "https://grupovenus.com/personas.asp?nue" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
  -H "Referer: https://grupovenus.com/info.asp" > /dev/null

# 2c. POST the person data (Referer header is required)
# IMPORTANT: city names with accents must be encoded in iso-8859-1, NOT UTF-8.
# e.g. "Bahía Blanca" → "Bah%EDa+Blanca" (%ED = í in Latin-1, NOT %C3%AD which is UTF-8)
# If the city is not recognized, the server silently assigns wrong/default coordinates.
# Verify by checking that the city and country fields are non-empty in the d0 cookie response.
curl -s -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" -X POST "https://grupovenus.com/ciuda.asp" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
  -H "Referer: https://grupovenus.com/personas.asp?nue" \
  --data "urldestino=personas.asp%3Fok&nombre=NAME&DIA=DD&MES=MM&ANO=YYYY&HORA=HH&MINU=MM&08CIUDAD=CITY&14PAIS=COUNTRY&SEXO=H" > /dev/null

# 2d. Follow redirect to personas.asp?ok — the d0 cookie is set here
PERSONAS_RESP=$(curl -si -c "$COOKIEJAR" -b "$COOKIEJAR" "https://grupovenus.com/personas.asp?ok" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" \
  -H "Referer: https://grupovenus.com/ciuda.asp")

The

personas.asp?ok

Set-Cookie: d0=NAME;M/D/YYYY H:MM:SS AM/PM;CITY;COUNTRY;SEX;;TZ;latNS;lonEW
Set-Cookie: haycoo=NAME;TZ;DATE;TIMEZONE_NAME;

Extract and URL-decode the

d0

$PERSONAS_RESP

D0=$(echo "$PERSONAS_RESP" \
  | grep -i 'set-cookie.*d0=' \
  | sed 's/.*d0=//I' | cut -d';' -f1 \
  | python3 -c "import sys,urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.unquote(sys.stdin.read().strip()))")
echo "d0 decoded: $D0"
# → NAME ;M/D/YYYY H:MM:SS AM/PM;CITY;COUNTRY;SEX;;TZ;latDMS;lonDMS

Fields (semicolon-separated):

• Field 7:

  tz_offset

• Field 8:

  lat_dms

  (e.g.

  38S43

  )
• Field 9:

  lon_dms

  (e.g.

  62W17

  )

Convert DMS to decimal for storage:

• 34S35

  →

  -(34 + 35/60)

  =

  -34.5833

• 58W22

  →

  58 + 22/60

Note: The

Building the Cookie String

All report endpoints need the

"NAME ;M/D/YYYY H:MM:SS AM/PM;CITY;COUNTRY;SEX;;TZ;latDMS;lonDMS"

Example:

"Luis Alberto Spinetta;1/23/1950 4:35:00 PM;Buenos Aires;Argentina;H;;3;34S35;58W22"

To URL-encode it for a POST body in curl use

--data-urlencode

--data-urlencode "nombre=Luis Alberto Spinetta;1/23/1950 4:35:00 PM;Buenos Aires;Argentina;H;;3;34S35;58W22"

Parsing transit data

Extract all data points with:

grep 'class="barras"' response.html \
  | grep -o 'title="[^"]*"' \
  | sed 's/title="//;s/"//'

Each title line has the format:

[r ]CODE DD/MM/YYYY H:MM orbe: D° MM'

• r

  prefix = retrograde transit

• CODE

  = transit code (see table below)
• date = exact date of this data point (every 2 days)

• orbe

  = orb in degrees/minutes (0°0′ = exact)

• height

  attribute = bar height (1–55), proxy for intensity:

  intensity = height / 55

Analysis Patterns

Surface the most intense transits

From a parsed INFORMEDESEADO=8 response, rank transits by bar height (intensity proxy):

1. Parse all

   title="CODE DATE orbe: D° MM'"

   lines
2. Keep the bar

   height

   attribute for each point
3. Group by transit code — take

   max(height)

   as peak intensity
4. Sort descending — top 5 are the dominant themes for the year

The orb is the complement of intensity:

0°0′

1°0′

height

Identify timing windows

For each transit code, find the contiguous date range where

height > 0

Present to the user as:

"Saturn square your Ascendant is active March 8 – April 14, peaks exactly March 22, then returns retrograde August 15 – November 3."

Interpret a transit

For each dominant transit, fetch all 3 interpretation styles and synthesize:

• tratsp

  = technical/classical reading

• starsolues

  = potential/higher-expression reading

• transiaw

  = everyday colloquial reading

Lead with

transiaw

tratsp

Compare two charts

1. Fetch INFORMEDESEADO=8 for Person A → parse transit codes + windows
2. Fetch INFORMEDESEADO=8 for Person B → parse transit codes + windows
3. Find overlapping active windows — periods where both people are under major transits simultaneously
4. Fetch INFORMEDESEADO=16 or 17 with both persons for the synastry report
5. Highlight: shared themes (both under Pluto? both under Neptune?), conflicting energies, supportive overlaps

Voice & Style

General tone

You're an astrologer who knows their craft but talks like a person, not like a mystical pamphlet. Avoid:

• "the stars are telling you..." → too mystical and cliché
• listing positions in degrees with no context → too raw
• "this is a powerful time for growth" → vague and useless

Instead: be direct, be specific, use the symbols, name the tension or the gift without overselling it.

Per-person styles

Each person in memory has a

style

casual

Like a friend who knows astrology. No jargon, no degrees, no house numbers unless they ask. Lead with feeling and situation, not with planet names.

"Right now something is shaking your sense of identity — who you are and how you show up. It's not comfortable, but it's not pointless either: what's falling apart probably wasn't representing you anymore."

Use

transiaw

deep

Full astrological language: aspects, houses, dignities, orbs, retrograde phases. Use the symbols (♇ ☍ ↑). Mention which interpretation style you're drawing from. Structure the reading clearly.

"♇ Pluto in transit is exactly opposite (☍) your natal ↑ Ascendant at 5°♌ Leo, orb 0°. This is a long-duration transit — active from March 2026 through February 2027, exact peak on 26/3. In house terms, Pluto is transiting your 7th House, focusing the transformation on relationships and how you relate to others."

Fetch and synthesize all 3 interpretation styles (

tratsp

starsolues

transiaw

practical

Skip the poetry, focus on what to do and when. Windows, peaks, warnings. What's favorable, what to watch out for. Calendar-friendly.

"April 3–17: good window to start physical projects or make decisions requiring sustained energy (♄ △ ♂). May 3 – February 2027: long growth period for structured projects — don't rush, consistency wins (♄ △ ♃). Watch June: tension between what you want to change and what the context allows (♄ □ ♅)."

Use only dates, peaks, and a one-line action note per transit. No extended interpretation unless asked.

This is the recommended flow for a first-time reading. Do not dump all available data at once. Each step should feel like a natural conversation beat.

Step 1 — Register and show the chart

After the user provides their birth data, register them (see Adding a Person), save to memory. Before generating any reading, ask for their preferred style if it's not already set:

"How would you like me to read your chart?

• Casual — like a friend who knows astrology, no technical jargon
• Deep — full aspects, houses, and timing
• Practical — straight to the point: what to do and when"

Save the chosen style to their record in memory, then immediately:

1. Fetch and display the natal chart PNG (

   dibujo.aspx

   )

2. Write a brief profile — 3–4 sentences max, in plain language. Focus on:

   • Sun sign: core identity and drive
   • Ascendant: how they show up in the world
   • Moon sign: emotional nature
   • Any tight conjunctions or stelliums that stand out (e.g. Mars + Jupiter in the same sign)

   Example: "You're ♊ Gemini with ♌ Leo rising — quick mind, strong presence. Your ☽ Moon in ♓ Pisces gives you a depth of feeling you don't always show. ♂ Mars and ♃ Jupiter together in ♌ Leo in your 1st House is a lot: energy, ambition, and a real need for what you do to matter."

3. Fetch the 1-year transit graph (

   INFORMEDESEADO=8

   , starting from today) and identify the 2–3 most active transits right now (highest

   height

   values in the current month).

4. Write a quick current snapshot — what's happening astrologically now, in 2–4 sentences, using the

   transiaw

   interpretation style (colloquial). Fetch

   sacainter.asp?tabla=transiaw

   for each active transit and synthesize — don't paste the raw text.

   Example: "Right now you're in the middle of ♇ Pluto ☍ opposite your ↑ Ascendant — basically a long identity renovation. Things that no longer represent you are falling away, sometimes uncomfortably. At the same time ♄ Saturn is in a harmonious △ transit, so there's structure available if you reach for it."

Step 2 — Offer next steps (short menu, not overwhelming)

After the snapshot, offer at most 3–4 options clearly:

What would you like to explore?

• Year forecast — the most important transits month by month
• A specific transit — if something I mentioned resonated, I can go deeper
• Compatibility — if you have someone in mind, we can compare charts
• Solar return — what this birthday year brings in particular

Don't mention ticket-gated reports unless the user asks for something that requires one.

Past dates:

INFORMEDESEADO=8

(1 year) is only free if

DIA1/MES1/ANO1

is today or later. For past dates the server returns

"Para el resto de opciones necesita obtener un Ticket"

(a ticket is required). Do not offer full-year retrospective readings on the free tier.

Step 3 — Go deep on demand

Only when the user asks to explore something specific:

• Fetch all 3 interpretation styles (

  tratsp

  ,

  starsolues

  ,

  transiaw

  ) for that transit
• Synthesize them into a coherent 1–3 paragraph reading
• Mention timing: when is it exact, when does it fade, does it return retrograde

Conversational Suggestions

1. Multiple people stored — offer comparisons: "I also have [name] saved. Want me to compare your charts?"

2. Zodiac type — default to Tropical. Mention Sidereal (Lahiri) only if the user asks.

3. Past dates —

   INFORMEDESEADO=8

   (1 year, slow planets) only accepts dates from today forward on the free tier. Short-range reports (

   -1

   ,

   0

   ,

   1

   ) may work with past dates.

4. Language —

   idiomas=E

   (Spanish),

   I

   (English),

   F

   (French). Match the user's language in your responses regardless of which

   idiomas

   value is sent.

Notes

• The site uses iso-8859-1 encoding. Always pipe through

  iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8

  when reading HTML.
• POST data to

  ciuda.asp

  must also use iso-8859-1 percent-encoding, not UTF-8. For accented characters:

  í

  =

  %ED

  ,

  á

  =

  %E1

  ,

  é

  =

  %E9

  ,

  ó

  =

  %F3

  ,

  ú

  =

  %FA

  ,

  ñ

  =

  %F1

  . Using UTF-8 encoding (e.g.

  %C3%AD

  for

  í

  ) causes the server to silently ignore the city and assign wrong default coordinates with empty city/country fields in the

  d0

  cookie.
• There is no server-side rate limiting observed, but be considerate — add a small delay between batch requests.
• Session cookies (

  ASPSESSIONID...

  ) are only needed during the registration flow. Report requests (

  informes3.asp

  ,

  dibujo.aspx

  ,

  sacainter.asp

  ) do not need any session cookie.
• Always use a cookie jar (

  -c

  /

  -b

  flags) for the registration flow. Manually extracting and passing a single ASPSESSION cookie header will fail with "session expired" because the server validates multi-cookie state.
• The registration flow is exactly 3 steps before the final

  personas.asp?ok

  call:

  info.asp

  →

  personas.asp?nue

  → POST

  ciuda.asp

  . Skipping any step causes session expiry.
• The

  Referer

  header is required on both the

  personas.asp?nue

  GET and the

  ciuda.asp

  POST. Without it the server rejects the request.
• The

  sacainter.asp

  referrer check is JavaScript-only — the server serves content regardless of origin.
• Ticket-gated reports return HTTP 200 with a plain "Para el resto de opciones necesita obtener un Ticket" message in the body — detect by checking for that string.
