Frequently asked questions
- How is the lunar phase calculated?
- From the angle between the Sun and Moon ecliptic longitudes (phase = Moon − Sun). Illumination follows the astronomical formula (1 − cos angle)/2. Ephemeris are Moshier, the same as the rest of the suite.
- Why do I need a city?
- To anchor «now» to the chosen timezone. Sun and Moon longitudes are geocentric; the city only defines the calculation instant and date formatting.
- Are the phase notes forecasts?
- No. They describe the traditional symbolism of each phase — seed, growth, peak, release — without predicting personal events.
