How we build this layer · birth-context-v1
Uses the Sun’s centre and an airless, level geometric horizon. Bands are split at 0°, −6°, −12° and −18°; 0° is not the observed sunrise or sunset boundary. Weather, refraction, terrain and sky brightness are not assessed.
Distance is between the centres of Earth and Moon. Approaching/receding uses a centred one-hour distance sample. “Nearly steady” means under 1 km/day in that sample, not a confirmed perigee or apogee. Phase times are calculated events, not predictions about a person.
Retrograde is apparent motion in geocentric ecliptic longitude. The existing chart’s turning flag compares the preceding and following 12 hours. Planets do not physically reverse their orbits; these flags do not imply effects on people.
Light selects the first prompt; lunar distance direction selects the second; an apparent turn, otherwise retrograde presence, otherwise direct motion selects the third. This creative rule never changes your constellation placements.
