Hemisphere Emphasis

Endpoint POST https://starsapi.com/api/v3/western/predictions/hemisphere

Analyzes planet distribution across chart hemispheres along two axes. The East/West axis reveals whether you are self-directed or other-directed. The North/South axis reveals whether you operate primarily through private foundations or public achievement. Returns counts, planet lists, and prewritten interpretations with keyword pills for the dominant side of each axis.

East / West	Eastern	10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3	Self-directed, personal initiative
East / West	Western	4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9	Other-directed, partnership
North / South	Northern	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6	Private, internal, foundational
North / South	Southern	7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12	Public, external, achievement
