hd-life-cycles

hd-life-cycles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openephemeris/openephemeris-MCP. It costs 63 tokens per session (3,130 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Human Design life-cycle events linked to major planetary returns and oppositions, such as the Saturn Return, Uranus Opposition, and Chiron Return.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interpret maturation points, midlife-cycle questions, Jupiter or Saturn returns, Uranus cycles, and Chiron returns.
Why use it?
It helps place these Human Design milestones in an approximate age range and explain their role in the system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hd-life-cycles scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Human Design Life Cycles

Use this skill when someone asks about their HD life cycle events — Saturn Return, Uranus Opposition (midlife), Chiron Return, Jupiter Return, or Uranus Return. These are the defining maturation moments where the Human Design system says consciousness matures through planetary cycles.

The Five Key Life Cycle Transits

Transit Age Orbital Period Significance
Jupiter Return ~12, 24, 36, 48… 11.86 years New 12-year cycle of faith, expansion, philosophy. Subtler than the others.
Saturn Return ~29 and ~58 29.46 years The HD maturation point — you become your design. Before: experiment. After: Authority becomes reliable. 2nd return = mastery.
Uranus Opposition ~38–42 84 years (½ = 42) Individuation crisis. Uranus opposes its natal position. Breaking free from what isn't you. In HD, where differentiation actualizes.
Chiron Return ~49–51 50.76 years Wounded Healer integration. The wound becomes the teaching. Shift from learning about the wound to actively healing others through it.
Uranus Return ~84 84 years Complete individuation cycle. Rare; the elder who has lived the entire Uranus arc.

Required Information

  1. Full birth date
  2. Birth time (precision matters — HD is time-sensitive)
  3. Birth location
  4. (Optional) Specific cycle(s) of interest, or current age — so you know which to lead with

Standard Procedure for Birth-Data Endpoints

Any endpoint that takes a birth chart (natal, synastry, composite, transits, returns, progressions, Human Design, Vedic, ACG) MUST follow this sequence. Skipping any step produces a wrong chart — usually wrong by hours of arc.

Step 1 — Resolve location to coordinates

If you don't already have precise lat/lon, call:

GET /location/autocomplete?query=<city, country>&limit=5

Confirm the right hit with the user if there's ambiguity (e.g. "Portland, OR" vs "Portland, ME"). Record the latitude and longitude of the chosen result.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hd-life-cycles is a skill published in the GitHub repository openephemeris/openephemeris-MCP (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 3,130 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
